I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never been a big fan of reading. I didn’t ever want to prove one of the worst Black stereotypes, but I guess I did. I don’t even know how I found “The Accidental Diva“, but I am so happy I did! I was 19, a broke beauty fanatic with major dreams of becoming a beauty editor. When I found a novel about a successful Black beauty editor living in New York and finding the man of her dreams, I read the book every chance that I had. I finished the book in 3 days, reading in between classes, my retail job and homework breaks. When I created Scandalous Beauty three and a half years ago, I distinctively remember being frustrated about the lack of Black beauty blogs. A little while later, I found Tia’s blog, Shake Your Beauty. To this date, I haven’t found wittier, more creative writing on a beauty blog. Her style is impeccable, really! Tia doesn’t do tutorials or anything like that, but she definitely keeps the world informed on what we have to have!
