Hey hey y’all. I apologize that I did not get to edit and share SCS with you last week. I finally got it done & I’m sharing the bentonite clay & charcoal mask that I did. This video is not about hair because I didn’t really do with my hair. I’ve been wearing a protective…
Hi again friends & neighbors! I posted this video on all my social media channels because its just that important. If you’ve been here before you know that I am a huge mental health advocate. Having struggled with chronic depression & anxiety for more than 2 decades, I finally learned to prioritize, manage, and channel…
I’m getting a trim this week’s self care Sunday & sharing 3 different methods I have used for trimming 4b/4c natural hair. Before I dive right into the trim, let’s talk about why having a routine is crucial to healthy natural hair, how I finally accepted this fact & what my routine is. In the…
This week’s self care Sunday is all about how & why I incorporate regular exfoliation & CBD oil in my skin care routine. CBD oil is all the rage and I finally know why. It has been doing wonders for my skin when I have been a little neglectful (like recently during the Spring 2020…
When I first went natural with my hair wayyyyy back in 1993, I dabbled a little in natural products for my hair. I didn’t get too far – there wasn’t much information & what my family used growing up was far from natural. I didn’t even find Dr. Bronner’s until I started my 1st set…
I have been a naturalista for something like 26 years. In the beginning I tried so many products, some worked, some not. Only when I kinda became a “purist” (maybe) did I find out that some of the best things I cook with are also the best for my body & hair. No surprise there….
Well my naturalistas, I finally took the plunge. I tried the Maximun Hydration Method (MHM) & I’m here to tell you my results & exactly how I feel about it. I read about this method a while ago, but at the time I had locs & would not have dared to even think about it. …
Being the naturalista that I am, for years I have used castile soap to wash my hair. On a whim I started using it as body wash, mainly because I was tired of shelling out loads of cash for Cetaphil soap & lotion for out littlest’s sensitive skin. I asked our pediatrician if that was okay –…
Take a look at your lotion. What’s the first ingredient? Water! What’s next? If it’s any good, probably some butters (shea, cocoa, etc), oils (olive, coconut, etc.), glycerin. Some have oats, honey, flaxseed – all kinds of good stuff. And then there’s the alcohol and all the “other junk” that only chemists can pronounce because…
I have a confession. I have dry lips. It has nothing to do with the weather or how much water I drink, my lips are just dry. I have used may different types of lip balms and most of them make the problem worse. For the last year or so, I have been using Burt’s…
