I pinned myself last night on Pinterest. I've pinned myself several times before, but this is the first time I'm blogging about it. Anywho, why does one pin themselves? I'll tell you why I did it. I was quite in love with my hair last night (this whole weekend, actually) and I wanted to share it. …
she’s back.
Is it safe to say that I'm quite happy to have my hair back? I think so. Since saying farewell to the braids a few days ago, I've re-entered the world of twist outs and Bantu knot outs, as evidenced above. Viva la petite (and growing!) fro.
Products from Heaven: It’s Shea, Baby, All Shea. [The Body Edition]
Apparently, it wasn't enough that I use almost every product in the wonderful and quite effective SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus line for my mind-of-its-own natural hair. I had to go and discover that SheaMoisture has amazing products for bath & body, too. (Where was I, you ask? Living under a rock, apparently. It takes square pegs some …

Project: Bentonite Clay.
The naturalista adventures continue. Last week, I decided to try a clay detox mask for my hair, being that I had worn box braids for the past seven weeks and wanted to really cleanse it after taking them down. A bit of back story: I heard about Bentonite Clay a year ago, when my friends and …
Products from Heaven.
Not pennies, but products. And if you sport your natural texture, you know exactly what I'm referring to. The search for products that will benefit your natural hair seems never-ending, not just in the beginning, but sometimes throughout the hair journey. Add to the fact that I believe our natural roots occasionally like to play too …
It’s a Swap Thing. (Blogtober #27)
This past weekend, me and a good friend decided to host a Natural Hair Swap Party. And it was all kinds of awesome. The Original Plan: a year ago, as my friends sat in a car and discussed the different products we use for our natural manes and how effective/ineffective they were, I found it interesting …
Hair Lessons and Hair Love.
We'll go with the love first. Naturally. So I rocked Senegalese twists for the past month and a half. 'Twas a great protective style, but the feeling of taking them out and finally getting to place my hands into my scalp was divine. Since a deep--and I mean deeeep--conditioning was necessary, I headed to the …
Au Naturale.
Those endless selfies are for a reason, Mom. From December 2012 to a few weeks ago, my natural hair journey so far...
