Thoughts About Natural Hair
Every now and then I remember why I started my natural hair journey and smile. And then there are times when I can't help but wonder "what was I thinking?!". When it comes to my natural hair, I sometimes feel...
...frustrated
I am frustrated with the detangling process, the time it takes to twist my hair, of wearing the same style over and over again, etc. Then I remember why I embarked on this journey anyway and smile.
...confused
Am I a Type 3? 4a? 4b? I can't keep up with all the hair textures that are out there. How about I focus on the fact that I have a head full of thick, healthy hair instead?
...inspired
I see beautiful natural hairstylesi n stores, on street corners, at my job and can't help but feel inspired to come up with a funky new style that I hope inspires others.
...flattered
I am so flattered when I'm complimented about my hair. I work(ed) hard to take care of it and love the praise for my hard work.
...sassy
Look, my hair is an attention grabber. I have had people chase me down in parking lots just to touch my strands or ask if its really mine. I can't help but feel some kind of sassy, liberated way when that happens :)
Newly naturals - don't miss out on the journey because you are focused on the end result. Embrace each and every frustrating, interesting moment of going back to your roots.

Coming Back!
Hey guys! I'm finally back at work and back to blogging this week. I truly enjoyed my first week of married life and now I'm readjusting to married life while working.
I created a couple of videos during last week that I am editing and should have up by the end of the week. In the meantime, check out this super cute and quick style by KayKay10001. This is a great summer protective style that you can do to twists. It only takes a few minutes and couple of bobby pins.

Harlem Shake at my Wedding
Hey guys! I haven't given away many details about my day but I thought I would share this video with you.
One of the many surprises for my guests was the recording of a Harlem Shake video at my reception. My brothers and I bought tons of props for people to use. It was an effort coordinated by photographer (who makes a cameo), my videographer and my DJ. It turned out fantastic.
If you're wondering where I am, I'm in the upper right-hand corner and my husband (wow, feels weird to actually say that now) is the guy in the beginning standing up in the back. I have never had so much fun. Thanks so much to my family and friends for being the rockstars that they are and going all in. Love you guys!

New Product!: Cantu Coconut Curling Cream
 |
| SOURCE |
Hey guys! I know I'm supposed to be honeymooning but I had to take a moment to share with you a new product that I'm using. Cantu Shea Butter has come out with a line of products geared towards us naturals that has no Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Parabens, Silicone, Phthalates, Gluten, Paraffin, Propylene, PABA or DEA - if it matters to you.
What this means is that this product is pretty darn natural and pretty darn fantastic.
Now that it is officially summer here for real - for real, I have to put away my beloved Oyin Handmade Whipped Pudding for something lighter but just as good. I found this bottle of magic at my local CVS and I am truly pleased with the results. My hair smells wonderful, feels good and moves like the wind.
I will be doing a video review of this product and my thoughts about it in the coming days so stay tuned!

I'm Married!
I got married this weekend and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. Many of you have asked for weeks how I was going to wear my hair and now I can tell you....I straightened it. It was a last minute decision that almost didn't work out due to the humidity (which was the only reason I didn't want to straighten it anyway). Either way, it held up for the ceremony and that's all that matters.
I will be back some time next week or the week after to talk about the details of my day. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy being a newlywed!

My Bachelorette Party
My bachelorette party was last night and man...I can't even begin to put into words how epic of a night it was. Of course I won't go into details in order to protect to the guilty innocent, but my girls showed me a helluva time. This was one of those nights that will go down in the books. Although I know we won't have them as frequent anymore since we're living this thing called 'adulthood' for real now; but when we do, watch out!
