Good to Know: How to Propagate a Monstera (and other care tips)
I'm beginning to question my purpose in life, because nothing gets you guys going like plant talk! There's not enough interior styling posts, project updates or outfit inspo that I can give ya'll that would amount to what happens when I start talking about plants, so it was a must that I cut out major space on the blog for it!
And speaking of major space, let's get into one of the most fascinating house plants to care for...the split leaf monstera.

I love supporting small businesses, especially those that are female owned and local to my community. This is why Mbabazi House of Style has garnered such a place in my heart.

Nubi Cocktails: A Holiday Mule
Since the holidays are here and in full swing, it's the perfect time to put a little holiday cheer in your favorite cocktails. This photo recipe is a minor spin on the classic Moscow Mule.
Although the classic mule calls for Vodka, I try to stay as far away from it as I possibly can (it's not a long story, but one I won't bore you with today. So, considering aversion to Vodka, my mules are always based with Tequila. A Mexican Mule if you will. Here's what you'll need to put it all together.
Crushed ice
2 sprigs of fresh mint
1 tsp of sugar
2 oz of tequila
1 bottle of ginger beer
2-3 candy canes or peppermint candies
A few fresh cranberries for garnish
1. Muddle a few leaves of mint, a teaspoon of sugar and crushed ice in the bottom of a mule mug
2. Pour in 2 ounces of tequila
3. Fill the rest of the cup with ginger beer
4. Top with crushed peppermint, a sprig of mint and a few cranberries for garnish
5. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays, friends!
Nubi's Gift Guide for Every Girl
Hey guys! It's gift-giving season and I'm here to help you avoid reaching for that last minute gift card before heading to your next Secret Santa party! Every girl I know would be happy to open any of these on Christmas morning!
1. Treefairfax Tote - This tote is just the beginning! Everything in this shop is what you never knew the lady in your life always wanted! Original, hand-made leather goods that will last a lifetime make for a perfect gift!
2. Silk Pillow Case - Help her protect her amazing hair and skin with this silk pillow case. Plus, you'll be the the last person she remembers when she goes to sleep at night!
3. Silk Sleeping Mask - You can't get the pillow case without the mask! Make it a set an wrap them together with a bow!
4. Otherland Cardamom Milk Candle - The subtle warm and sweet scent of this candle is the current sophisticated woman's pumpkin spice! Think more coffee house, less flavored powdered creamer from the gas station. Trust me! Even my boys loved it!
5. Pussy: A Reclamation - Okay. This one is a little out of left field and definitely won't be seen on any other gift guide, but let me tell you, tangible things are cute and thoughtful. But being able to change the way a woman sees and feels about herself is a gift beyond words. This book has totally changed the way I view myself and has transformed my confidence in a way that I didn't know I needed. My beautiful friend Dayka Robinson suggested it to me and I'm forever grateful to her.
6. JCrew Hinged Bracelets - I'm always asked about the stack of arm candy that I sport on a daily basis. A majority of my bracelets are gifts from hubs or were once owned by my mom. I like to fill in with these beauties as simple basics that tie them all together! I have the gold and silver, but there's also a rose gold option too! They beautiful, well designed and go with everything.
7. The Lipbar Liquid Matte Lip Gloss - I've never been so giddy and excited about anything related to beauty until I tried this magic on a wand last night in the color Bawse Lady. I've always heard that the perfect red lip can change your life, and I thought it was a joke. Boy oh boy was I wrong. This formula is non drying and the color is beyond perfection! I didn't want to take it off!
8. Jade Facial Roller - The beauty product of the year! Any woman would be happy to open up this set on Christmas morning!
9. Old Navy Blanket Scarf - The winter staple in a classic colorway! It's one of the most versatile accessories a woman can own. It can be worn wrapped around the neck, draped over the shoulders and belted, worn around the waist and pinned as a skirt or even wrapped and tied around your head as a turban. And at $10, it's a no brainer!
10. Kohl's Turkish Cotton Robe - I've been on the hunt for the perfect everyday robe that's light enough to be worn in the warmer months AND has some length for coverage in the cooler months. This fresh white option made of Turkish cotton is on my very own Christmas list!
11. Instax Fuji Camera - In today's day and age we take more pics than ever before. But it's rare that anyone gets them developed or printed! Gift her this camera and she can capture all of her favorite moments during the holidays and everyday thereafter!
If you found this helpful, be sure to check back for my gift guide for HIM!
