I’m sitting up in bed, giving up on sleep for a little while longer as it’s currently denying me its comfort. It’s the kind of windy Chicago night that I love; the sound of the wind blowing both ferocious and familiar. Tonight it’s a little different though; I hear wind chimes too. I’m enthralled and … Continue reading You can take the girl out of the ‘hood, but you can’t… well you know the rest

WE are all more beautiful than we think, you better ask somebody [video]
I rarely wear my hair in its natural partly curly, partly wavy, state. I can never rely on how it will turn out.
