Wow, it’s December already? Wow. I can remember clearly talking to my mum about some concerns I had for my site like balancing it with school, etc, etc but here we are. Here we are, with only two weeks of school left. I’m grateful for this semester because I’ve learnt a lot of new…
Flapper
Happy Thanksgiving, my loves! What are you thankful for? I’m thankful for life and the fact that I am whole physically, emotionally and psychologically; I am happy, I can walk, I can see to say the least. I’m thankful for food on the table and a roof over my head. I’m thankful for each and…
Hair Talk: Concotious Wanna-Be-Kinky
The braids are innn… Again. These are basic box braids with curly tips (because you all know I love curls… and braids hehe) but I thought they really resembled the kinky twists I always do but since they’re not, I decided this style deserved a post of it’s own. Besides this reason, I have…

On Rainy Days
Them cold, rainy days though. I’m really glad I FINALLY got rain boots. After 3 years of active “procrastination” and lying to myself that I didn’t need them, I finally gave in. Seriously, the kind of suffering my other shoes went through wasn’t even funny. I won’t say I love the way they feel but…
Ika Adage #9: Ground
If water is spilled on a porous or non-porous surface, it’s guaranteed that the water will disappear after a certain period. I believe this adage is referring to things that are out of our control because they just are. Yes, the water goes somewhere but is there anything we can do to stop or reverse…
LAJA Unseen #1
I decided to compile a few never before seen photos (more on my Tumblr) of what REALLY happens behind the scenes and throwbacks shots that had me scratching my head and cracking up. It’s so funny to admit that at some point, I felt like a G. Hmm, “All these poses I was sharing, Diariz…
Hues of Blue
For the most part, this is the “Ashan-wa, you’re cray. Why are you wearing a short skirt in mid November?” kinda outfit and to be honest I have no idea what I was thinking either. It was one of the less colder days so I jumped at the opportunity of a “warm” day… How delusional…
Fallen Leaves
When the weather just goes from sunshine and roses to dead cold. My only reaction is “What’s all this, Jackie?” O_o Of course I couldn’t let that kill my vibe so since I’ve been experimenting with layering lately, I decided to bring out this triangle-cut ankara skirt. I’ve had it for a while and…
