More About Mary

Born in the 90s, on Destiny’s Child, Missy Elliot & Janet Jackson, Sunday cleaning sessions after Church, Saturday fishing days, and baking from scratch. Now I’m raising my 3 girls the same, I want them to appreciate the little things and to keep God in everything they do.

I grew up country and was always outside and in a child’s place, raised to be humble, respectful, kind, confident, tough, and independent. 

Hi, I’m Mary SS Tucker — a stay-at-home mom, digital content creator, photographer, and graphic designer.

My content is designed for moms who love self-care, especially through hair and makeup. I share the real, unfiltered moments of mom life alongside the joy of beauty routines and creative expression.

Authenticity is at the heart of everything I do—from storytelling to design to photography.

Brown Queendom is for the Women who choose to be real over perfect

Welcome to your community for unfiltered Motherhood, effortless beauty, and finding grace in the everyday struggle of Motherhood

Baking from scratch has become a part of my routine that I love. I enjoy doing it alone to really lock in, but lately the girls have been wanting to help, and that feels good too.

Nose Frieda saves the day, in my house, during these seasons of change. It is so easy to use, and I only just discovered it a few years ago. Yes, it’s gross, but I also reach for it at the first sign of congestion.

This Yokidoo comes in handy for washing my girl’s hair, and when Brooklyn was a baby, it was helpful for bath time.

Self-Care has become a vital part of my routine. I had to learn the hard way to care for my mind, body, and soul. Highly recommended.

Beautifully Becoming

What I do… besides being a SAHM. Because there is art in the struggle.

Embracing the changes along the way, it was never about my plan; it’s always been God’s plan. 

I still have dreams, and creating this blog is an exact result of me going after my dreams. I want to show my girls that, even if you have to be unconventional about it, you can still go after your dreams.

Natural Hair Journey

A Natural Hair Journey could begin for multiple reasons, and I've started mine for a few of them: hair damage, big chopping for the experience, transitioned as a beginner, wanting my hair to be thicker, curlier, you name, I've experienced the trial and error. If you have an interest in Natural Hair this is the page for you.

Makeup for Beginners

Makeup wasn't allowed in my house growing up other than Lip Gloss. So in my mid-twenties, I didn't know where to start. It was difficult trying to find the right shade or which brand to use, when so many were out there advertising the same things. This is why I never hesitate to share what i'm using, or where I got something. I get it!

Kids Natural Hair

Natural hair kids haircare and hairstyle tutorials. Knowing which products, tools, and techniques you should be using is half the battle, actually making it through wash day is another story. Kids need an extra level of patience and encouragement when it comes to natural hair and I love teaching them how to care for theirs. Stick around for the journey that never runs out of lessons to learn.

Lifestyle & Self-Care

I've been a stay at home mom for over 10 years now, although I have been back to work and enjoy being a working mom, I enjoy teaching my girls even more. I struggle finding a job that works around my kids' needs. There's always something going on and with my Husband being a truck driver, it falls on me, to leave work early and to be unreliable time after time.
