Brionna Taylor Mural

I went on a road trip through the south and this is part 2 of my experience. In part 1 I left off telling you all about my take on the Cincinnati area. Make sure you go back and read all about it if you haven’t already.

Louisville, Kentucky

Next up on the trip was Louisville Kentucky. We only spent about a half of a day there in total. We visited Angel’s Envy distillery in downtown Louisville. We opted to try their bourbon and whiskey tasting experience which was very fun and informative. The host seemed to know everything there is to know about bourbon from its history down to the science of making it. Fun fact: Kentucky is the only place in the world where bourbon can legally be made so it’s kind of a big deal. You can go on tours at distilleries like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Bulleit and so many more while visiting the bluegrass state. Before leaving Louisville we stopped to see the beautiful mural dedicated to Brionna Taylor (she lived in Louisville), George Floyd and other victims of police killings.

I went on a Road Trip: Part I

Cincinnati

Earlier this month I went on an amazing road trip to the southern region of the good ol’ U.S. of A. My cousin Kym, a middle school teacher, came up with the idea to go on a week long road trip during her spring break. She invited my mother and I and I just couldn’t turn down the opportunity. I’ve always wanted to go on a real road trip. We started at home in Philadelphia and ended in New Orleans. We stopped at a total of 5 cities along the way and the Big Easy was the perfect way to end it with a bang. Here is part one of my trip.

Review: Wash and Go using Cantu Hair Products

A few days ago I did a wash and go using Cantu hair products. Cantu is one of those brands that you see everywhere you go. Target, Walmart, drugstores and beauty supply stores have carried this brand from the beginning of the Natural Hair wave. I have to admit that I never gave them a thorough try. I found other brands that worked for me early on and stuck to them. So the other day while I roamed the aisles of Target Cantu’s orange containers caught my eye and the last thing I remember is cruising through self check-out with 6 of their items.
