Spring Cleaning Giveaway | Creme of Nature

Hey Loves!

I hope your weekend went well. Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all of you mothers and mother-figures out there. :) I decided (super last minute) to surprise my Mommy in Cali for Mother’s Day. I flew standby on Friday night and rented a car so that I could just show up (I like to see the shock factor). She was super happy, which is all I could ask for. Now…getting back from Cali was another type of situation.

That Stand-by Life: Flying standby on Sunday wasn’t even an option as the weather in Dallas was atrocious. So I extended my rental car and decided to stay another day. Monday was equally bad….I turned in the car but didn’t get onto any flights! I got a hotel room close to the airport so that I could try to catch an EARLY flight (this morning) where my Mom met me. I took her to dinner and a movie (AVENGERS!). This morning was a struggle! I had to be at the airport at 4:40am….arrived in Dallas at noon and came straight to the J-O-B! Of course I worked Monday too. ALL of dat to say > Apologies for the late post for the 1st Spring Cleaning Giveaway, but those you who follow me on IG got a head start last week anyway!!!

Let’s get to it! Recently, I tried the new Creme of Nature products: Pure-licious Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner & the Argan Buttermilk Leave-In Hair Milk!

Sooooo….. (more…)

It’s a girlfriend’s gathering with a purpose!

I’ve learned SO much about hosting events in the last few months. Some things I would definitely do differently, and others I’m so glad I did! This wasn’t an idea that a brand approached me about. It’s a passion project pretty much funded by my friend and I. Rachael Sealy (co-host /UK Blogger) and I are excited about the tour of events ESPECIALLY the kick off in New York THIS Saturday the 20th. If you haven’t gotten your ticket, what in the WORLD are you waiting for? There’s a special going on that ends TODAY. O-O

So go go go to idefinemetour.eventbrite.com and snag yours now! You’ll get waaaay more than the ticket price. What exactly? Wellll…..

Guests will enjoy:
- Delicious brunch menu with a mimosa toast & juices
- Motivational activities
- Panel discussion with Fashion & Lifestyle blogger, Melissa Chanel
- Deluxe beauty & hair gift bags worth over $60
- Live performance from Koku Gonza
And let me tell you SO MUCH MORE! I’m so frickin excited to mingle and hang out with everyone! And even more excited to announce the next city! If you’re not in the NYC area for this event make sure to share it with a woman who is! Thanks for your support over the years and your kind words in support of this new venture of spreading positive energy!

Peace & Blessings!

I Define Me Tour | Women’s Empowerment Brunch

LOVES! I’m wrapping up blog posts as we speak, while I’m exporting a very special message for you all…that will be below once it’s uploaded. LOL!

For the past SEVERAL months I’ve been working on a VERY special project called the I Define Me Tour. Rachael Sealy (@justrachy/@ukanturals) and I connected on some “otha” type of level on how we’d love to organize a small event that focused on developing inner beauty and confidence to match the outer beauty we see in the natural hair community. So we did!

Take a look at this video to learn more about it, check out the website (www.idefinemetour.com) and follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

Peace & Blessings,

Refinement: The KG Lifestyle

CHANGES! I’ve meant to do a slight re-branding for awhile now. I think my videos have kind of been all over place, inconsistent and unreliable. Recently, I’ve made a new commitment to do better. This change comes at a time where I feel like I’m purging my bad habits from my 20s – procrastination, irresponsibility, plain laziness. Now that I’m 30 I’m taking things to a new level. Interesting enough it took a binge viewing of one of my favorite blogger/vlogger’s content to inspire me to do better. Shirley B Eniang. If you don’t know about her you better ask somebody! Her content is clean, bright and refreshing compared to the same ole videos you see on YouTube (no shade, mine included). Shirley also introduced me to Majestic Casual, a bad azz channel featuring the type of music I LOVE – electronic, ambient type stuff.
