Natural Hair Movement????

I was a little black girl with long, thick and course hair. My mother had no idea how to maintain my hair nor how to keep it healthy. Like most mothers in our community she resorted to the “Creamy Crack” which is to say that she chemically relaxed my hair with products designed to straighten the hair of little black girls with unmanageable tresses. I was nine years old when my mother relaxed my hair for the first time. The chemicals took to my hair like a charm because it’s witch craft you know. I digress. My hair was the smoothest it has ever been and the straightening agent elongated my hair and gave me a look of ( Do you have Indian in your family??) and extra attention from various people. I was pretty, as said by many. What was I before? Needless to say this hair regimen became routine and a way of life for me. It also began a road to damaging hair and scalp issues. If one iota of new hair growth peeped through, I knew it was time to set in motion acquiring my “hair fix”,...

What Will Be Your New Years Resolutions?

It is an age old tradition to aspire to make each year better or greater than the year before. When December rolls around, we begin to rewind our lives in our minds eye to see if we can come up with a NEW plan to undo mistakes made or better ourselves in some way going into the new year.

Oil Of Olay Total Effects “28 Day” Challenge || Review 👍🏾👎🏾

One of my favorite YouTube influencers announced a challenge to try out the Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti Aging Moisturizer last December. I know, I know, I’m kinda late with the review but better late than never, right??? Anyhoo, I decided to take the challenge and purchased my product off of Amazon immediately. I say immediately because for one: it was an immediate reaction to this challenge and two: I had been looking for a decent moisturizer because my skin suffers badly from excessive dryness in the winter. The Summer months? Forget about it. I get severe sunburn on my face and arms and the residual damage lasts well into Winter most times. So, I received my product in three days and only began to apply at night before bedtime. First let’s talk about the texture of the moisturizer. It’s whippy (if that’s even a word) and smooth upon dispensing. The bottle says it’s fragrance free which I take it to mean there aren’t any perfumes added to the product (which is a plu...
