Vintage never fits the way you think it will.
I feel like when things are really hectic it's important to carve out time for yourself.
I see the most change in my body through exercise. They say diet determines your weight, and exercise determines your shape - I find that to be a pretty true statement.

To unwind, I like to have a relaxing bath.
I want to share knowledge about things I've learned over the years with a younger generation that is seeking the truth.

I consider fitness, diet, and beauty to be essential to a balanced self.
My mother is an African-American from the South Side of Chicago who married a white guy in 1978. She was hyperaware of racism and made me aware of that.

If I'm wearing a vintage '50s-style dress, I'll wear some funky, wild shoes by a contemporary designer.
When you really listen to what your body is telling you, it's easy to treat it well. For example, if my fingernails are weak, I know I need more calcium. If I have dry skin, I'm dehydrated or need to exfoliate.
I try to drink lots of water and tea before bed.
