Rain Rain Go Away – Swim + Pretty Prints
Living in England, summer usually feels like a passing memory even before it’s arrived. A few hours of sunshine followed by extended periods of gloomy grey rain, which while cosy and ideal for snuggling up with a good book, leave me feeling like summer is to be enjoyed in drips (literally). I’m looking forward to […]
Aqualillies
May 6, 2012
I am reveling in the freedom of the long weekend! Hello lie-in, hello long country walks, hello marathon TV catch-up sessions. Nice to become reacquainted; it really has been too long since we were last in touch. One thing I haven’t done (so far) is work out. This year has been really quite hectic, and […]
Swimming While Curly – A PSA
July 26, 2011
Swimming is a beautiful, beautiful thing. The grace, the beauty of gliding through the water is unparalleled. This is why it saddens me to hear of women who don’t swim because they’re afraid of messing up their hair, or worse, hold misconceptions around the potential of chlorine in damaging hair. They are missing out on […]

Valentino Spring 2011, Summer Shorts & Natural Hair
July 3, 2011
In January of this year, I put up a Natural Hair Roundup post, discussing my experience with a multitude of haircare products popular within the natural hair care community. The post was pretty much a random mishmash of natural-hair related stuff compiled from my experiments on holiday in the US: products I thought I’d dislike […]
Suno Spring/Summer 11 + African Prints on Swimwear
May 21, 2011
Even though we’re in Pre-Fall/Fall territory on the designer production schedule, for we mere mortals who (aspire to) wear the clothes designers put out, shopping must somehow occur in retrograde. We have to look back 3 or more months to recall what exactly it was that designers said we should be wearing in the present […]
Swimming While Curly – Getting Back in the Pool After a Long Absence
May 11, 2011
Summer Swim Series: A collection of posts on my experiences and tips for folks with natural hair who like to swim (a lot). I hate to think that there are folks out there who don’t swim for fear of “damaging” their natural hair. Through this series of posts, I hope to address many questions about […]
Swimming While Curly
April 20, 2011
A Little Bit of Swim Inspiration The sun is shining (kind of) and the weather is warming up (a bit at least) and that means it’s time to pull out the old swim suit (snorkels, fin & pull boy optional) along with a trusty swim cap and get in the water! For folks with natural […]
Bikram Yoga Cures Winter Blues
November 27, 2010
Since the temperatures in my bario have been hovering between freezing and frozen, I have become more and more lazy and far less likely to engage in any form of exercise. I feel like the winter five/ten are slowly creeping on. I usually enjoy Bikram yoga the most this time of the year because for […]
