Is Cantu Amazing For Your Curls?

Cantu Beauty has a new (well, new to me) product in their line that I happily test-drove on Bear's hair. I did use the product on my hair but I don't think I had the same results as his (and when I mean by the same as in my hair still frizzed up pretty bad). Now, I have to say this before you read on, Los Angeles (and pretty much

#ThrowbackThursday: I Rock Rough and Tough with My Afro Puff

[gallery ids="4345,4346" type="rectangular"] Gosh, I don't remember exactly when this was taken other than it was a couple of weeks ago. The day I did a braid-out with no heat (I'm really not a fan of heat and really, really don't want to use heat in the summer if I can avoid it). So yeah..pretty happy at how big my hair is getting. I'm tempted to actually do a blowout to see the

Being a Miser Can Be a Good Thing Sometimes #preschool #lunch

It's funny when you get older, you become a bit more conservative with your funds. I remember the days when I was a college student and I felt I was ballin' with my $10. (Hell, I still feel that way now.) Yet nowadays, with a looming preschool bill coming up, I'm finding different ways to cut back on things I don't really need to do as often as before. Notice

The True Products Will Make You Get Your Life

I'm constantly on the search for new products to try and I love to spotlight Black-owned businesses whenever I can. You know, each one, teach one, buy one, etc. So on IG, I ran across The True Products on WeBuyBlack.com. They're a Black-owned laundry detergent company. I've heard pretty amazing stories about them and since I'm a fan of not using detergent that smells like soap and other sorts of

If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time

I apologize for the lack of posts. I haven't been on vacation, nor have I been unusually busy. I'll be honest - I've been lazy. Queen Lazy. Lazy rules everything around me, lazy. Mayor of Lazyville. But I'm back and with news...are you ready? Are you sure you're

Why Does This Boy Need So Many Clothes Now?

I'm forever buying Bear clothing. It seems just when I think I'm good for a while (read: a couple of months), it's like, 'Nah, bihhh....you take your ass to Target.' Except it wasn't Target calling me but rather, a different store. As we explored the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza over the weekend, I noticed a great deal at Children's Place. Now, it's not a store I frequent very often. Let me

Who but the Lord?

I had a happy go-lucky blog post I was getting ready to type. I decided it'll be delayed by a couple of days because I can't just sit back and not say anything. Two days. Two shootings. On camera. Two black men with families, who will grow up fatherless. A child watched her father (presumably) being shot and killed right before her. She comforted her mother as she was

I Need More Ukrainian in My World

We have soul food and varenyky. We're teaching our son both English and Russian. I've become a huge fan of futbol while my husband enjoys trap music (okay, the last part isn't really a representative of my culture, but you get what I'm
