New Natural Hair Challenge 2022!

Okay, I recognize it's almost May and it's probably a wee bit late to start a hair challenge this late in the game. However, since I successfully completed my last hair challenge, I needed something new to do. Now, I have to be honest with my goals here - I'm not going for a certain length, though I did previously say I wanted bra-strap length. I am going for

And I was no prepared for the amount of hair loss I had. So I decided to cut it all off! And then I grew it out! And then I got a bored so I

Natural Hair Review: Curls Blueberry Bliss Leave-In

I think I just found a new favorite. As I mentioned before, finding a great leave-in can be rather a chore. You have to have something that conditions your hair but is not overpowering or sticky.  It's tough in these natural streets! I found a great leave-in for not only myself, but really, for my entire family! Yeah, when I saw this works on all hair types, I sincerely mean that. ALL. According

Feelin' Fly and Cocky-Fresh

It's taken me some years to realize it but after not having a traditional job for several years now and no plans to go back to the working field yet, I like experimenting with my look. Where I'm at, spiritually speaking, is different from where I was even a year ago. I'm finally at peace and accepted everything there is to accept. It's part of the long-term growing pains. So, I

Natural Hair Care Review: Eva NYC

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary sample of Eva NYC on behalf of Influenster. All opinions are mine.  Whenever I hear about a hair company that brags that their product is for all hair types, I'm skeptical. Let's face it, Type 4 hair isn't the same manageability as Type 2 or Type 3. Thick, coarse, and textured are usually the descriptions that come to mind. So, when Eva NYC claimed they could

Product Review Week – Natural Hair Care Edition

Hello! And I'm back with another review of some of the hair care products I've tried over the year. Since I have a few, I'm going to make this as condense as possible. This time I'm reviewing creams, custards, and leave-ins. Let's get started! Aunt Jackie's Quench! At first, I wasn't a fan of this product. It smelled pretty sweet and I wasn't a fan of the consistency on my hair (putting

#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
