  Number of comments: 10
  

   

  When I first went natural, it was all I thought about. I spent so much time in my first three or four years of natural hair, figuring it out. Creating a natural hair regimen can seem daunting at first. The products your hair responded to when it was relaxed, won’t [...]

• Experiencing A Different Side of Vegas. Inside The MLife Experience

  Number of comments: 6
  

   

  I’ll admit it, I had a pre-existing prejudice against Las Vegas.

  From the moment I saw the trailer for The Great Gatsby, I was dazzled. I said to my husband, “I HAVE to see this.” I couldn’t possibly have guessed that when the time came to have the special screening in Chicago, I’d be asked to be a special co-host [...]

• Chicago! Tomorrow! Come With Me To See The Great Gatsby

  Number of comments: 10
  

  When I read it in college, I fell in love with the lavish lifestyle F. Scott Fitzgerald so vividly illustrated in his literary classic, The Great Gatsby. The book is set in the ostentatious 1920’s and inspired by real people and places Fitzgerald hobnobbed with – even today, the [...]
