My Grandmother’s Recipes are Enough.
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxVvO0TFK9zZAtD_nz6AFoWPGwkk4APdJe?si=mBDe4lzp3oSLtg_R So in the wake of having someone from Delaware do their best to steal from me and the ripples of having much more time for personal pursuits because Corporate comes with ups and downs, I’m in a contemplative mood. The weekend that we usually celebrate Essence Festival is also my birthday weekend, always has…

Recovery Motivation
The wedding is over, it was absolutely gorgeous, and I get my hair back. There’s a phase that we all go through on the wash day after we know we’ve been acting funny towards our hair. I went into instant heat damage detection mode. I watched every single strand that left my hair and freaked myself…

Got a question from a reader this week that I thought would make for a good post. “…is it ok to put heat in my hair if I’m trying to go natural? My last perm was 6 months ago…” At the six month mark you should have at least six inches of new growth. This…

Spray Bottle Love
Here’s a tip that I remember from my first summer of being natural. Buy a spray bottle that will fit in your purse and each day fill it with your favorite leave-in conditioner and a small amount of water. When you’re wearing a style that tends to dry out through the day, use this mixture…
