Thanks to Bananas Clothing and Apparel for sponsoring this awesome giveaway!
Bananas started with a beat. A group of friends that enjoyed the rhythm of sound and wanted to share a love of music and other expressions of thought through creative art and design. All of our graphic designs you see before you began as a glimmer of an idea that when put to paper fulfills our basic need to showcase that individuality.
Our motto symbolizes a style that is at the top level of greatness. So we will always create a design that’s bold, that’s fun, that’s RIDICULOUS.

Please comment once you “like” them and I’ll pick the winner randomly! Contest ends Saturday December 22nd at 11pm CST! Please read the disclaimer section.

I’ve been wearing my hair flat ironed for the past 2 weeks. Needless to say, it’s time to wash. However, because I was so tired last night, I decided to do a braid out to make my hair last a little longer. I used Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream and braided medium sized sections. I was really pleased with the results.

Please no comment on my makeup. I know I look like Casper the Friendly Natural Haired Ghost. That’s what I get for letting the saleslady choose my new powder.
Anyhoo, on to the giveaway!
I posted about Rahel before.

She’s adorable, her hair is on point, and she wants to belong to one of you!
I am also including this change of clothes:
