ECO BOUTIQUE

Here are some items you can get at anytime in our online store. These items aren’t necessarily hair related, but they are life related. Our eco boutique has things that you can use in other aspects of your life. Laundry detergent, reusable paper bags and sustainable body wash and lotion are just the tip of the iceberg! What’s not to love? Try them out here!

PLANTS

Introducing, the OKWUMABUA PLANT BIBLE! How many plants do you have in your home? We are at 36. We lost Tamika (plant) to mite last week so…

I like to name my plants. For me, this adds to how I care for them. Giving them names, sort of humanizes them a little. Does that make sense at all? For example, I have 4 Sansevieria plants. Sebastian, Sarah, Simon and Sandy. It make it easier for me if the plant name and species sort of match. Fergus is our resident fiddle leaf fig, but Fiona is also a fig. Just not a fiddle leaf. Phineaus is our philodendron and he tried to quit us, but I brought him back to life (he loves me now). Monica, our monstera, lost her tiny pot (small child collided with the table she was on) and after I moved her to a bigger pot, she thanked me so much by being the queen I knew she could be!

Monica, our pride and joy

Plants are great for air purification and well-being. Give them a try and start with something small and care free like a sansevieria or succulent. Good luck!

HAIR

The power of the internet! Today’s hair feature is Nicolas Barno. I saw them on a hairstylists ig and became obsessed! I find them so inspiring, and the hair?! THE HAIR! It’s non. Stop. I will try not to overwhelm this post with images of Nicolas, but I can hardly help it! 😍😍😍

Without further ado: Nicolas Barno

DWELLINGS

Happy Wednesday! Here is a spot I really love spending time in. We sometimes forget how our spaces heal us and help us grow. Which spot in your home brings you joy?

I love my sitting room, the sun sets here and the orange light she leaves behind is magical. My children and I sometimes relax here and listen to music. The best conversations happen in this room. Hands down my fave place in my home.

Impromptu sitting room photoshoot. The light in here is bananas…

Golden hour in the sitting room: Otito

The baby and I sit in the orange chair and watch the traffic, the bunnies, the crows, and all other forms of life go by. The windows really make this room great and the plants that live here love it as well!

Baby on the run!

For all the plant lovers, we will have a tour soon! The fiddle leaf fig here, Fergus, is one of the main features of joy, He’s the best!

Have a good Wednesday!
