I’m not the biggest DIYers and here’s why: the projects tend to have a million steps and require tools I’ve never even heard of. But that’s why I’m obsessed with washi tape. It’s the decorative tape that makes jazzing up practically anything in your home as easy as 1-2-3 and you can find rolls for just a few bucks at any craft shop, dollar store, etc. Check out 10 ways to decorate with washi tape.

Though I’ve had natural hair for the past six years, I still find myself on the hunt for products that moisturize my super dry locs.

I don’t think I’ve...
