Natural Hair and the "F" Word

I think it's just time for us to embrace it!  :)

What do you think?  How do you feel about the "F" word?

Great Protein Treatments For All Hair Types!

Hey guys!  Just wanted to share with you some of my absolute favorite store bought natural hair protein treatments.  I love these particular products because they work beautifully on a variety of hair types!

Many folks are afraid of protein because they think it'll dry the hair out or cause it to get hard...but when used properly, you actually get the opposite results.  Protein is important for our hair because it strengthens it, softens it, allows our curls to pop pop pop and helps tremendously with hair length retention.

I hope you try one of these on your next wash day!

Natural Hair | Quick Beach Waves - 2 Heads, 1 Style: Tutorial and Results 3C + 3C, 4A/B

When my daughter and I began our natural hair journey, we quicklWy realized that some techniques and products worked perfectly for her, but left my hair a hot mess and vice versa.  While others worked perfectly fine on both of our hair textures (she has thick coily hair, I have fine combination hair) but left us with beautiful, but sometimes different looks.  For example here's:

Daughter's Wash And Go

Mommy's Wash and Go

For that reason we've been looking forward to trying different natural hair styles and products at the same time to share with you our thoughts and results.

Here is our first set of videos in this series!  I hope you enjoy them!

LIPSTICK DEMO: 5 Beautiful Pink Lip Sticks Under $3 NYX, Wet n Wild, ICE and more.

Lovin Some Lippies!!!

I've been rather obsessed with lippies for the past few months.  You guys know I'm on a budget, so I cannot camp out at the MAC counter awaiting the newest RiRi lippies at almost $20 bucks a pop. 

BUT I DID FIND SOME DELISH wonderfully pigmented, moisturizing and long wearing lipsticks from Wet n Wild, NYX and ICE that I absolutely love!!!  The fact that their price ranged from .99 cents - $2.99 made them deals I could not pass! 

I thought I'd share the love by demo'ing a few for you!  Check them out and let me know your favorite!  Looking for a signature color for summer.  Blessings!!  :)

Dr. Oz # Day Detox Cleanse | I Lost 3 Pounds and Feel GREAT!

Hey guys! 

I recently completed the Dr. Oz 3 Day Detox as a part of my health and wellness journey.  I did the cleanse in hopes of eliminating harmful toxins, restore my system and to reset my body while giving it a break from all of the bad stuff we sometimes consume.

I decided to do the Detox because I've had sooo much trouble kick starting my normal 21 day fast.  It just wasn't happening for me, so I was so happy when I discovered Dr. Oz's 3 Day Detox!  Anyone can do just 3 days, right?  LOL. 

All you need is 3 days, a blender and $16 a day! What could go wrong, right?  LOL! 

Enjoy the vlog below where I share my thoughts on detox and provide a few tips I learned along the way!

 

Here's the detox grocery list and 3 day meal plan!

Here's some great information on the benefits of detox cleanses! 

New Technique: Dry Wash and Go Method

For the past few weeks, I've been using this wash and go method on my hair to reduce drying time and to minimize fairy knots.  I love it!  Another benefit of this method is that it elongates your curls.

In the video I'm using a leave in solo - but if you need a gel or styler, just add it after applying the leavin.  My hair dried in HALF the usual time!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Field Tested In High Dews: Kinky Curly Curling Custard

Hey everyone!

Summer heat and high dews (moisture in the air) can cause the best hair day to end in a frizzy, puffy, undefinded mess!  lol.  Trust me...I KNOW! 

So recently I uploaded a video (Perfect Summer Curls: No Frizz DEWS and DONT'S )
 where I discussed some of the best products and ingredients to incorporate in  your summer regimen to put your best curls, coils, waves and kinks forward!

Today, I road tested one of my favorite summer/high dews gels Kinky Curly Curling Custard so you could see how well my curls held up.  Details:  today's temp- 90 degrees | Dews 70

Here's my hair in the morning:

And here it is late evening!

Not too shabby huh?  :)  I used the dry wash and go method for product application and love the results.  No frizz.  No shrinkage.  No puffiness.  THAT'S A WINNER IN MY BOOK! 

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE RESULTS?  WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER GEL?

Join the 30 Day Squat Challenged!!!! Getting Tight And Right!!!

Thank you ladies for joining the challenge!  I am so excited about what we'll accomplish collectively and individually during the challenge!! 

Here's a sneak peek at our daily goals and squat schedule for the challenge!

Today, is Day 3 of the Challenge. Now I know some of you didn't begin with us on day 1 - but no worries!  Feel free to modify the first few days of the challenge so that you able to catch up with us over the next week. 

Here's a pretty simple diagram of a basic squat.  Technique is everything!  :)

 

The goal is to get tight and right!  lol - but this should also be fun and allow us to incorporate exercise into our daily schedules to maintain optimal health and to live long glorious lives!  I was so saddened today to learn that one of the dads I've known via my daughter's theater program passed away at only 44 years of age from a heart attack!!!  Live is so precious.  He loved his children (ages 15 and 10), his wife (college sweethearts) and his community.  Let's pledge to take care of our temples (bodies) and be intentional and thoughtful about our self care.

I love you all!!!  Thank you for coming together around this exciting challenge!!!  I can't wait to learn more about you!  

Please subscribe to the blog so that you receive notice of  new posts and updates THEN TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO JOIN THE CHALLENGE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW!
