Notice anything different? I’ve been dreaming of a new look for a while. It took a lot of searching, but once I found the mastery of Randa Clay and her amazing free templates, I knew I found the right look for Afrobella. So what do you all think? I’m going to be tinkering with fonts…
Becoming AfroBella
Please Vote For Me!
I’m happy and proud to announce that I’ve been nominated for a Fabbie Award! It’s the first ever fashion and lifestyle blogger-created and organized awards, I’ve been nominated in the beauty category.

I Need Some Resolutions
“Why December 31? If you want to make a change in your life, you shouldn’t wait for this one magical day to make it happen.” That’s my husband’s argument against New Year’s resolutions. And in recent years, I’ve agreed with him. I’d grown sick of making ridiculous promises to myself every year, and inevitably breaking…
Favorite Things of 2007
Happy New Year!! I missed you guys so much. After a beautiful vacation in Chicago — complete with fun with friends in the city, family time in the suburbs, and a big ol’ family reunion in Findlay, Ohio — I am back at home and settling happily into 2008. I hope all of you had…

Notice Anything Different?
I’m proud to announce that I’m the newest member of the Glam Network! The decision came after a lot of deliberation, and patient-question-answering by the peeps at Glam. I didn’t want to sign a contract with just anyone, and it’s important to me that the advertising on this site goes with the Afrobella aesthetic and…
We Have a Winner!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered the Afrobella logo contest. It was really cool to see how each designer depicted their vision of Afrobella, and over the weekend I plan to post a gallery of all the entries. Some made more use of text and fancy fonts, some relied solely on image. I…
Afrobella’s Anniversary
A year ago, I was frustrated. As an avid magazine and blog reader, I wasn’t finding the kind of intelligent, informed beauty writing I hungered for. As a writer, I was hard pressed to find a magazine or website that would provide a platform for expression for someone like me. As a black woman with…
