Almost 2 years since I blogged. So much has happened ever since, but I decided to keep this blog active and LIVE!!! Still on a hair journey, which has been a very successful journey. Now I am on my Vegan and fitness lifestyle.  This blog will be of many things dealing with myself. Such as hair, Vegan dishes, Fitness inspiration, Married life, beauty and much MORE. I want to thank those that

I have not made any updates on this blog for a while now- You may experience a lot of typos, I am using "blogger" app and I am not a fan of proof reading 😒Today is a new journey.... Trying to get my life in order and maintain it that way-I am talking about working out! One min I start, the next min I am bored and tired of the routine-- Today's breakfast consisted of Hemp Granola with

Oh My!! It has been over a year since I have posted on my blog--- So much has happened since then... I am still on my Natural hair journey, constantly caring for my hair :) As of August 2014, I achieved what used to be my ultimate goal (Waist length). I am very excited about that- However, I have yet to straighten my hair to allow others to see my true length. That can definitely wait because I

Once I made the decision to become very serious in taking good care for my hair, I can say that GOD has truly helped me along the way with his/her blessings! Its amazing what our hair can do when in proper care. My hair journey has been nothing but an excitement to me, I have enjoyed every single stage- from my BIG CHOP to my current length, I never complained. I fell in love with my hair

2 years post relaxer- 1 year and 5 month Natural (above pic)   My ultimate goal is waist length where my hair (stretched) can cover up my tattoo. Unsure how long it will take but I am very patient with my hair..... Current length stretched is BSL.

Who says you need to blow dry and flat iron your hair to stretch it out and see length? I say you don't! I simply did a simple roller set and took them down. I love how my hair feels when I roller set. I can feel the volume and thickness of my natural hair without having to straighten it all the way. Roller sets are a good way to see some length, but unfortunately for those that want to rid of

      I often get many questions as to how I preserve my wash and go- why does it lasts me so many days without having to refresh my hair. All I do is the Pineapple method seen in this picture. I simply wrap my curls in a regular or very high ponytail (I do not double wrap or tie my hair)- Next, I put on my satin scarf and boom! I'm ready for bed. In the morning I simply take

  Most ask, "what is the difference between a ponytail and a puff?"   The answer is simple, a puff is when your hair is not long enough to grab it into a ponytail- a puff is giving the illusion of a ponytail. A ponytail is when u can actually grab and wrap/tie up your hair. I kind of miss my puff days sometimes but am very happy with my hair growth :)

......A light trim that is. I, as I have mentioned in the video do not have a trimming regimen or schedule. I trim when needed and where its needed only. Check the video out for more details :)

March 2, 2013 I celebrated 2 years since my last relaxer! I can't even begin to express how happy and excited I am to have made the decision to return back to my Natural roots! Im loving the journey and so far have not experienced any crazy setbacks! Left pic was my last relaxer back in March 2011- right picture is my all natural hair 2 years later. Whats the difference? My natural hair is much

First, lets take a look at my previous roller set back in February of this year: I have come a long way and still have a long way to go! I dont do a lot of roller setting mainly because I have to use a rat tail comb- I dont use any styling tools! I only use them when I do my roller sets which is why I don't do then as frequently! Im loving the thickness and fullness of my

Today marks my 1 year Naturalversary. So far, it has been a marvelous experience- Time really does fly by quick, just "yesterday" I remember doing my Big chop and rocking my TWA and today ( a year later) I am at Arm pit length. Being Natural has taught me so much. The very first thing that it taught me was how beautiful I am, that I dont need long hair to feel confident and secure. I never, in

My short term goal after I did my big chop was to reach apl before my 1 year naturalversary! Yesterday after having my husband stretch out my curl just for the heck of it- I found out that I am finally Arm Pit Length! I am more than happy and will only continue to fully care for my natural hair so I can retain longer lengths! My next short term goal is BSL- ;) Cant wait to write yet another

I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of

I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this

Hair grows! All one has to do is care for it, nourish it and be extra careful when handling it! I am loving every stage of my natural hair! I still remember how excited and happy I was the day of my BIG CHOP! I would not change my decision for anything in the world! I have become way more creative in doing hairstyles with my natural hair than when I was relaxed. My go
