Natural Entreprenuers: Rachel Stewart

Lawd, I can't believe I haven't bragged about Rachel Stewart yet. I remember first finding her site from Clutch Mag and falling in love. Like OMG...how does someone's online presence radiate like that? I really want to be her friend in real life because she seems THAT dope. And the sista is talented. The gorgeous headband that I am rocking was made by her. Check out her blog here for other beautiful pieces of jewelry and hair wear. Tell her B from LocRocker sent you.

And if you're bored enough, you can check out the video where I sported my Rachel Stewart.

Don't fret, I mention her in the first minute of the video so you don't have to sit and listen to my rambling about a mascara. I know er'body ain't a beauty nut like me. :)

You go, Rachel! Will continue to support and brag about you all day long!

Locs and jewels

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved earrings. I can walk outside without a bracelet, necklace or a ring on. But I can't recall a time when I have EVER left my home without a pair of earrings on. I even wear them when I work-out and swim.

Craziness, I know.

My loctician is always complimenting me on my earrings when I stroll through to her shop. Which is true irony because I'm the one that's in love with HER earrings. We have the same style when it comes to pretty dangling things from the lobe. Big, funky, African, homemade, colorful earrings would be our earrings of choice.

So when I went to Atlanta, I snagged her some beautiful earrings from this African-themed shop in Underground Atlanta.



I put them in a cute little pouch and put them in this little wicker box.



It's the little things, you know? I don't know what it is about nappy heads/loc rockin' people but we love these funky earrings. I didn't start wearing earrings like these until I went natural.

....and don't even get me started on loc adornments.


When my babies get longer, I will be sporting these like crazy!!! I got that picture from THIS LADY's Etsy shop. Click that link and you will visit her shop and view a dozen more photos of beautiful loc adornments. She's got a few on there that I KNOW I will be ordering in the next few months.

Like this one:


That looks so warrior-like and so....me. And the fact that they are homemade make them a little extra special. :)

Until next time...

Peace and loc've.
