Quantcast
The Booked & Boujie Collection


After a year like 2020, where growth and perspective were focal points for many, it can be overwhelming to reconnect with the outside world. While many of us are ready to socialize with friends over cocktails or jump on a plane for our next girls' trip, we would be remiss to neglect the returned anxiety of acclamation. It is nearly impossible to spend an entire year in isolation without a hint of uneasiness, anxiety, or fear about this new normal.

But as we slowly ascend into the unknown (again), we must be cognizant of the toxic mindsets and habits we're leaving behind. As our founder, Necole Kane recently tweeted, "The pandemic did not sit us all down and give us a come to Jesus moment for us to go back to chaotic, exhausting lives." It's up to us to use the lessons of last year to not only manifest our future but to supremely enhance our life, potentially in ways that we were blind to before. Now that we know better, it's time to do better, sis.

This collection of Black brands is meant to help in two ways. First, by offering a variety of journals that can help you manifest the summer you want, and planners to keep you booked and busy. Secondly, by including dynamic and thoughtful games that can ease you back into all the kickbacks, BBQs, and girls' trips on your social calendar.

Manifestation Journal

This manifestation journal is the perfect place to manifest all those summer goals. Made 100 percent of recycled paper, this journal serves as a constant reminder that everything you want is within your reach.

Melatonin Is Linked To Serious Heart Issues. What To Know.

I already know that this one is gonna hurt a few feelings. The reason why I say that is because, if there is one thing that (many) folks are going to take if they are looking to get a good night’s rest, it’s melatonin, chile.

How do I know? Well, aside from the fact that some people in my own world are hooked on it, it’s also been reported that as many as 27 percent of Americans rely on this particular supplement to catch themselves some nightly zzz’s. That’s why, when I peeped that a particular study about melatonin was damn near viral, I decided that I absolutely needed to use my side of cyberspace to get the word out.

Why The Cayman Islands Is The Ideal Soft-Life Island-Hopping Destination

It's always a pleasure to add a new stamp to the passport, especially when it's an opportunity to visit a country you've never been to. When invited to explore the Cayman Islands, I was very familiar with Grand Cayman—the largest among the three islands, known for its stunning clear-blue beaches, and modern city comforts—but I seriously slept on Cayman Brac.

On a six-day trip, I knew Grand Cayman would be that girl, but the smaller sister island Cayman Brac? She’s the captivating, low-key spot that is a whole soft-life fantasy.

8 Holiday-Themed Scents That Will Seriously Intensify Your Sex Life

If there is one thing that I am going to do, it’s buy myself some scented soy candles. And, as I was looking at a display of them in a TJ Maxx store a couple of weekends ago, I found myself wondering just who decided which scents were considered to be “holiday” ones. The origin stories are actually pretty layered, so, for now, I’ll just share a few of ‘em.

I’m sure it’s pretty obvious that pine comes from the smell of fresh Christmas trees; however, scents like cloves, oranges, and cinnamon are attributed to two things: being natural ways to get well during the cold and flu season, and also being flavors that are used in many traditional holiday meals.
