Hype or Hoax? - Levain Bakery NYC

Tanay Howard July 26, 2017

I KNOW I'm not the only one that spends (probably too much) time watching those Insider videos on Facebook and then drooling and tagging people in the videos that I want to visit like "we NEED to go here!". My boyfriend and I have actually visited a few of the places that have popped up on our timeline and we honestly were disappointed by the first two we visited. They were definitely good but we just couldn't see the reason for the hype they were getting on social media.

Top 5 Must Haves for an Amazing Curlfest Experience!

Tanay Howard July 17, 2017

This past Saturday I attended Curlfest for the first time! It was amazing! I loved being in the presence of so much good vibes, fun music, amazing vendors and of course the #blackgirlmagic was on 1000! Since it was my first time I really had no idea what to expect and I can't lie I was super unprepared. Nonetheless, I had an amazing time and I can't wait to go back next year, but imma make sure I have my life together before I go! Hence, this post! I'm about to tell you all the things you need/need to do to make sure you have an amazing Curlfest experience!

1. Register/RSVP early & get the Early Bird ticket.

I missed out on all the swag cause I'm slow LOL. Even though I knew about the event super far in advance I had no idea when the tickets went on sale and when I did go to look.. sold out! Whomp whomp! You can stay up to date by following Curly Girl Collective on their website and social media. TRUUUUUUUST me it's worth it!

2. Get there EARLY!

I'm pretty sure this was the most crowded I've ever seen Prospect Park EVER! There were TONS of vendors out this weekend and the line was LONG for every one! A lot of vendors were giving out samples of products and if you wanna grab some then you gotta be there early to get it! Some vendors even ran out of products they were selling!
