[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="100"] Click on the picture to purchase [/caption] So, I've been on the search for the perfect shampoo for Bear. He has super curly hair. If I had to put him into a category, it'll be 3A/3B hair type. This is a child who does a lot of things with his hair - he pulls on it, he wipes his dirty hands on it, he has no qualms

Why You Need a Vacation from Social Media

Facebook. Twitter. Tumblr. Snapchat. Instagram. Peach. Periscope. And le sigh...so many more I really don't care about. But you get the idea. There is so many social media apps, hubs, networks...it's really almost too much for people to care about. I'm a bit "old-school." I remember when Myspace was the new hot sauce. I actually liked Myspace because I was able to customize my page, have music or other graphics on it, and people could leave me messages

How Prince Inspired Me 2 B Free

I debated writing this post. While most people can claim they're Prince fans (and I'm sure just about everyone is), he resonating something deeper within me. Being a creative, I'm in a special category. In a world where people feel they can dictate how you should act, perform, and create, you're often toeing the line between doing your own thing and actually pleasing the audience. Of course, many creatives just please

Can You Be In the Nude?

As I've been experimenting more with my lips, I found that I have a small penchant for the nude lippy. The barely-there-but-we-can-all-tell-you're-wearing-something-on-your- lips-and-OMG-I-so-want-that-look color. So, there are three nude-ish colors in my arsenal that I like. Let's start - NYX Praline   It gives a shimmer color and it goes on very smooth. I like this because it has brown undertones that highlight the golden ones in my skin. NYX Rome This is a new

Biracial Hair Care Review: Is As I Am Full of Magic?

Let me begin with a preface for those who are new to the blog: I often use hair care products that wouldn't be typically geared to biracial/mixed and/or curly hair. I want to show what products work best for curly hair as well as what I typically have in my armory. It's one of the benefits of being a naturalista - whatever I use on my hair, I can

I Should Have a Four Year Old

I should be planning a birthday party. I should make sure the cake is made just right. It might be Paw Patrol one. It might be Thomas & Friends. I should have the numerous gifts picked out because although Christmas was just a short time ago, a birthday only comes once a year. I should have local Mom friends who I regularly meet for coffee because we met at the

Finding the Perfect Leave-In Can Be Hard Work

One thing many naturalistas can agree on is how hard it can be to find the perfect leave-in. As you journey more on your natural hair care journey, you find what used to work for you, may not. Something that may be sworn up by many women, may have blah results for you.
