Soul Search Sunday: SSS On The BQC

"Just let you sooooooul glow" Let the innermost depths of your soul shine on the world and let it be beautiful. We all do a little soul searching. It's when we take time to sort out our thoughts and reflect on the things that are important to us. We learn and we grow from these experiences. What we learn, we teach. Express your experiences with the world so that someone else may learn the way. As Brown Queens and Kings, we are beautiful in every perfection and every flaw. Our majesty is measured by the splendor of our soul, knowing who we are and where we're going. I use the word soul so much because I love what it represents. It's the human spirit in real and raw form. It's raw and delicate at the same time. There's a lyric from a Musiq Soulchild's song Soul Star I learned years ago. I always remember it because it speaks directly to my soul. It's simple, uplifting, and it goes like this. "Soul star oh you've come so far from where you started. Don't be afraid to let your light shine on the world."

FASHION FRENZY FRIDAY: FFF on The BQC

    My relationship with fashion is complicated. I will tell you I love fashion like most other girls but being confident in my love for fashion is another story. I know what looks good and what doesn't but when I put things together, it doesn't always indicate that I know what I'm doing. Don't get me wrong, I never look like a bomb but I would love to be able to effortlessly put together bomb outfits every day. Also like many other girls, I want to be a fashionista and I want to have my own style  Up until a year ago, I  don't think I'd found my own sense of style. Now I think I've got it. I use polyvore.com to sharpen my fashion skills by creating sets. I study the fashion on websites and in magazines. However all the studying in the world won't help you if you don't know what you love and what looks good according to your body type. Your fashion sense is heavily dependent on you. This is my journey to being "Brown Queen Fashionista" I hope you'll join my journey whether you've got it all together or you want to polish your own skills. In the near future I will start doing OOTD (Outfit of the day) and other fashion features. I'm always open to comments and tips.  Here are some of my favorite sets I've put together via polyvore.com

Relations Wednesday: RELATIONS WEDNESDAY on The BQC

    We have so many types of relationships with people. For instance we have our friends, siblings, co-workers, romantic relationships, and several more. Those relationships are important to us and are a part of who we are, therefore they are apart of The BQC. RELATIONS WEDNESDAY is where we touch on every type of relationship that is important to us. We discuss issues, tips, we bask in the glory of the good relationships, and recommend you find the E X I T for the bad ones if there is no mending them. This is not your ordinary 'girl talk'. This is Queens' talk.

TRESSES TUESDAY: TRESSES TUESDAY on The BQC

Hair, hair, and more hair!! TRESSES TUESDAY is all about hair on The BQC! It's the day of the BQC week that's strictly dedicated to the tresses of Brown Queens. Tresses Tuesday features tips on color, cuts, styles, hair-care, products, the occasional Queen talk about hair, and my own natural hair journey. We Brown Queens love our hair and here we can engage in never ending conversations about our hair. Whether you're relaxed, natural, or in transition, The BQC has it all. In other news, I've been seeing some gorgeous dread heads lately. Dreads can be beautiful. To be honest, I've contemplated growing them several times, I just can't stand that whole transitioning to dreads stage you go through to have dreads. Before I get to blabbering, here are some gorgeous pics of dreads that make me want to consider beginning to grow my own dreads.
