BEAUTY | Dove Asks Women to Try a New ‘Beauty Patch,’ and The Results are AMAZING.
Somedays, we don’t feel like our confident, beautiful selves. More than once, I’ve gone an entire week just not feeling pretty. It’s a funk that’s easier for some women to shake than others. Sometimes, not feeling pretty for one day turns into not feeling pretty for a few weeks…and then a few months…and then we’ve […]
STYLE | Springtime Brunch at Jacob’s Pickles, NYC
Okay, now it’s finally Spring. Goodness, it’s about time. Quentin and I were literally about to go crazy. I more so because I just don’t function well in colder weather. Even Spring is a tad too cold for me, but this past weekend, I didn’t complain at all. It was so nice to wear just […]

STYLE | How to Create a Lucky Dozen Wardrobe for Spring!
I first discovered the lucky dozen wardrobe back in 2012 (read my post on creating a lucky dozen wardrobe for Fall). I’m revisiting the concept again this year because (1) I need to completely overhaul my Spring/Summer wardrobe, and (2) I wear the same clothes to work every. single. day. Once Lent is over (I […]
April GIVEAWAY | Keurig Special Edition K65 Brewer System
March and April have been two of the most difficult months of my life in terms of managing everything I have to do. With planning a wedding (tomorrow we’re officially 6 MONTHS AWAY FROM OUR DATE), starting a new business (learn more about BLOG & COMPANY on the website!) and working full time (oh yeah…and […]

MUSINGS // On Being Black and Harlem Gentrification
Most of my coworkers know that my fiance lives in Harlem, so they often tell me of their forays into “Northern Manhattan” and all the wonderful places they go for brunch on Sundays. Just last week, one of them sent me a New York Times article by Marcus Samuelsson, world-renowned executive chef and co-owner of Red […]
SHOPPING | Iris & Ink
I love window shopping on The Outnet. There’s something really amazing about seeing how much lower the prices are for designer pieces at The Outnet. Visiting the site always gets me thinking, “Oh, that’s not so bad. I can TOTALLY do $975 for that Burberry Parka. I mean, the original price is $2,795. That’s 65% […]
Take The Feisty House Blog Reader Survey!
I started The Feisty House 5 years ago, and the time has really flown by. At first, The Feisty House was just my little piece of the internet, but over the years, it’s evolved into so much more! I’ve been so blessed by your comments, especially when you talk about how much The Feisty House […]
Feisty Fashion Feature // Yanique Revers of The Queen of Hearts
Be warned: Yanique of The Queen of Hearts is not a blogger on a budget. At least not on my budget, anyway. I really wanted to feature Yanique because she wears high-end brands (think Mulberry, Margiela, Miu Miu, Givenchy), but still manages to pull off a down-to-earth, girl-next-door kinda style. She knows what she looks […]
Musings // On Annoying Natural Hair Questions
Tamara did a really great post on Natural Hair Rules last year: 10 of the Most Annoying Natural Hair Questions. She tweeted the post yesterday, and I decided I’d respond to her post here on The Feisty House, to get you guys involved in the discussion too! 1 // Can I touch it? Yes, you […]
Naturally Famous // Kelela
Kelela is a gorgeous (just naturally GORGEOUS) R&B/dance singer from Maryland. She came into her own voice while singing in bars up and down DC’s popular cultural strip, U Street, and eventually quit school at American University in her last semester to move to LA and focus on her music career. Let’s just say…the girl […]
Blog Talk // Blog Spring Cleaning
Photo Credit // Maria Riazolli // Source Spring is the perfect time to take stock of what’s going on in your life and make adjustments. It’s when we participate in “spring cleaning” and tidy up our houses to get rid of all the clutter from the previous year. Spring is a great time to clean […]
Hair Lusting // Kelis for The Coveteur
So we finally get Kelis for The Coveteur, and I am 100% here for those jet black, bouncy curls she rocked for the interview photos. Her hair is so luscious and jaw-droppingly gorgeous (yes, my jaw DROPPED when I saw the pics). Kelis looks amazing. Can we say, wedding hair? Yes, I think we can. […]
Hair Lusting // Messy Curls
Spring is on its way in (Thursday is the first day of Spring!) and I’m leaning towards rocking carefree, messy curls and tousled waves during the warmer months. Well, whenever those warmer months decide to show up, that is. I’m really loving the unstructured look of messy curls. Sometimes it’s okay not to have every hair […]
Lifestyle | Garden Wedding Inspiration
Quentin and I are getting married in a little over six months. The time has really crept up on me (it still doesn’t feel like we got engaged last July!) We’re having a garden wedding in Miami, so I’ve been pulling together a ton of garden wedding inspiration photos to get my mind going. Sources […]
Career Feature | “Dream Job” // Angel Yarde of Sevenality
Angelica “Angel” Yarde is a graphic designer, branding genius, and community advocate at Sevenality, the creative strategy and branding firm she started with her husband. And we’re so lucky to have her on The Feisty House as part of the “Dream Job” career feature series. I love reading Angel’s blog, Studio 404, and I just […]
Style | Daylight Savings
GET THE LOOK | jacket: Need Supply // boyfriend jeans: H&M // caged sandals: Need Supply // purse: MICHAEL Michael Kors I think I was awake for a full 24 hours for the first time this weekend. I woke up at about 6:30 AM on Saturday morning, and didn’t get back to sleep until about 6:30 AM […]
Beauty | A Haircut and Henna for Natural Hair
So, I sure hope this story has a happy ending… My hair has been low-key breaking for the past year. Every time I’d put my hands in my hair to wash or style it, I would get small pieces of hair on my hands. At first I wasn’t too worried about it because the […]
Musings // On Lent and Fasting
Source It’s Lent, but I’m not Catholic. So why do I bother fasting? This quote sums it up. I just started a blog management and content development business. I’m getting married in October. I’m running this blog in my spare time. I don’t have any spare time because I’m a director of health policy […]
