2 weeks ago, I straightened my hair! It had been 5 months since I had done so and I was ready to check out my length, plus my new color J I finally tried out the newest products added to the Motions line- Straight Finish (Motions® Hair Care can be purchased at Target, Walmart and www.drugstore.com) . This trio includes 3 products: Straight Finish Cleanser, the Straight Finish Leave-In Conditioner & the Straight Finish Sealer. I’m pretty good at blowing and straightening my hair. Products can make it easier or harder. Motions…made...
Solange looks stunning in her Complex Magazine spread! I haven’t featured her in awhile because I feel like she has been laying kinda low. I still see pics every now and then. I wanted to share these haute pics of Solange in Complex Mag June/July 2013 issue! OMG and her extensions are the perfect summertime protective style! I can’t wait to put mine in that look similar. I need something...

Yay! A couple of weeks I was asked to answer some questions for an article on natural hair bloggers that was coming up on HLNtv.com . I was ecstatic because I love these type of opportunities. I love to discuss how I got into blogging, and the amazing things that have come from blogging and the state of blogs and natural hair. I can talk for days about all of those topics! I admire bloggers...
This weekend was awesome. I hosted 2 events on the same day in two different states. It was super busy but I had a blast. So my new goal is try a new product every week for either a twist out or wash & go (once it gets really hot, I will probably do mostly wash & gos ) This weekend, I decided to try the new EDEN Body Works Coconut Shea line. I used to the Coconut Shea Leave In Conditioner and the Pudding Souffle. I washed my hair that evening from straight hair and then put the Leave In Conditioner first. Making sure it was completely...
Wow! I am so much closer to my goal. I actually forgot my original goal. After going back to my original post I said my goal was 165-170lbs. It’s funny how your goals eventually change once you start working out. I am so close to my range of 170. At 176 (Down from over 200lbs in January) I think I have done a great job. I tried to stay as consistent as possible....

I am always trying to figure out new things to do to my hair while I work out. What consistently works for me is….buns! They are so easy to do and it keeps the hair out of your face! That’s pretty much the norm for me. Alot of times prior to working out, I will co-wash my hair and then leave some conditioner in, pop it in a bun and then go work out…like this: Here is my straight hair in a bun! ( post on the deets of how I got my hair straight coming up soon) Check out my new workout fit from Lady Foot Locker ....
