Consciously Lisa

did I change?!

My application to be your favorite fashion creator. Did I get the job?

My world may be falling apart but fentybeauty MVP won’t ever let me down.

Which ones?!!

I’m not quitting social media. I’m quitting comparison. After 14 years in this space, I understand what gets amplified. Especially for Black women in fashion and beauty. It’s not just the clothes. It’s the full presentation. The polish. The elevated backdrop. The editorial street style. The aspirational aesthetic. And baby I love it. I live for the creators who give all of the vibes and stop my scrolling. When I was growing the fastest, I was shooting street editorial fashion. I know what that lane requires. I know what it costs. Right now, this is what I have to give. Me getting dressed in My doorway, lol! My real life. My actual environment. And if I’m being honest, I gravitate toward aspiration too. Think about the Black creators we follow most consistently in fashion and beauty. It’s rarely just the outfit. It’s the full experience. I’m part of that culture as much as anyone. And this understanding, this clarity, feels freeing. I don’t need to compete in a lane that was built around an aesthetic I don’t live in. I can tap into my other interests, or not. Who knows?! The sky is the limit. Success for me is going to look different than I once imagined. And instead of forcing it to look a certain way, I’m actually excited to build it differently. That’s it that’s all.

We loved visiting museumofillusions_boston and already want to go back. The boys had so much fun and there were still a few things we didn’t fully get to experience because we went on a school day and everyone was getting tired by the end. Next time, we’re definitely planning to stay a little longer because there was so much to see, interact with, and figure out. Such a fun little Boston activity for both kids and adults and the photo opportunities alone are worth it.

Shout out to my good sis Sharita from theloftmedford for teaching me how to maintain a Wash n Go on my 4B hair! I think I finally got it down. What do you think?

It’s so much more than hair! Let me know if you want to see part 2 of my natural hair wash day routine featuring K18 Hair # TYPE 4Bhair
