I’ve missed you guys. Way back in the day, I used to be in charge of all the emails that went out. As we got bigger, I got busier, and staying connected via email got harder.
But I’m back BABY! I’m starting a ‘Monday Mixer’, where you’ll get to hear from me, directly! No chatgpt over here. Just me.
Let me catch you up, I did my first blow out in 2 years (pic on the left) to launch our Vanilla Trio. I must say, I felt VERY SEXY!
A chunky flat twist, on blown out hair, truly a chef’s kiss 💋 and might be the move for your next date night or holiday event.
I was a little afraid to do a blowout. I never want to promote this idea that our hair has to be longer and straighter to be sexy or attractive. Your kinks and curls can “pull” anyone, on your worst day ;-).
But in my debate with myself, I realized “stretched hair isn’t straight hair”. And I also want to offer variety. So blow-out it is. I equate straightened hair with euro-centric beauty standards and I am doing my best to center my own natural beauty and texture. As a result, I haven’t straightened my hair in 10 years. I’m committed to helping us celebrate what we were born with, in all its textured glory.
Pssst. Can I tell you a secret?
I felt a teeny bit uncomfortable dressing up in that red dress. A split, visible cleavage, big sexy hair, and a red lip with all of my fresh tattoos exposed...
I was known as the “good girl” growing up and I did what I was told 90% of the time. 😉
I followed the rules.
And later, after babies, motherhood consumed me. I didn’t know what it was like to dress up and look ‘sexy’.
I hardly owned any makeup, I didn’t have anything that fit, nor a cute pair of shoes, and you can forget a red lipstick. I didn’t even wax my eyebrows. And a tattoo?! NEVER!
I’ll be the first to admit that having babies changes more than your body and hormones.
It can change what you think you’re “allowed" to do or how you’re “allowed" to dress. It also changes how you see yourself.
Post-baby, you have to find YOU again. This photo shoot was me, finding me.
I decided to own my sexiness after babies. If you catch me on Instagram, you might see a photo of me with a little more skin, a dress that's fitted, pants that hug me a little tighter, and bolder makeup.
Don’t read too much into it.
It’s me bringing my sexy back. It’s me not hiding. It’s me not blaming my children for losing myself.
It’s me feeling beautiful and ultimately, powerful. There’s something so powerful about seduction, it’s undeniable. And when you feel it, you want to cling to it forever.
Keep feeling sexy, it will change your life.
Love,
Kim
