In Pursuit of Luscious Hair, an Incredibly Healthy Body, a New Career, and More
Greetings! Here's an update regarding my shift away from digital social media to in-person, face-to-face social interaction. Recent events discussed in this post include a wondrous Meetup.com event at a spa (the massage was DIVINE), our little guy's soccer game (the weather was HEAVENLY), and a relaxing visit to my favoritest (yes favoritest) nail salon.… Continue reading [Social] Meetup Event, Soccer Game, Nail Salon Visit, and Tonight’s Line Dancing Meetup
In my previous post, I discussed how I prepped for my semi-annual salon visit, and I mentioned that I would share the name of the new-to-me salon that I would be visiting. Well, yesterday I visited the salon and received services there, and it went swimmingly! Below I share length check photos from the visit,… Continue reading Length Check, Trim, and a New-to-me Salon
I only visit the hair salon once or twice a year, when it's time to get my natural hair trimmed. I've had pretty bad experiences with stylists who claim to know how to handle natural hair only to rip through my hair instead of gently detangling it. Or with stylists who are very limited in… Continue reading Before Tomorrow’s Rare Salon Visit: Wash Day to Prep for My Semi-Annual Flat Iron and Trim
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, foster mothers, aunties, surrogate mothers . . . to ALL those in the role of mother whether a birth mother or not!

The Desired Results (Pictures) These… Continue reading [Series] Mission Possible: De-bulking My Wash and Go | Attempt #1
Today I'm posting about last Sunday -- about spirit and the Word and worship. About joy and gratitude. That's a bit of a change: So far the majority of my blog posts have been about hair. One of the reasons? Besides the obvious reason that my hair demands almost daily attention, it's because I'm loving… Continue reading Last Sunday! (Gratitude, Sermon Notes, and LifeHack Bible Antifragility Excerpt)
Alright, family, I'm on a mission. A hair mission. I am going to find a way to get a de-bulked wash and go on my natural, dense, cottony hair. I know it's possible: I achieved it before, which is the reason I was able to create the post "Hair Gain #2: My Wash and Go… Continue reading [Series] Mission Possible: Endeavoring to De-bulk My Natural Hair Wash and Go
So far I've tried 3 out of the 5 different products from my recent Camille Rose Naturals haul when nearly every product from the site was $10. I've tried the Moroccan Pear Conditioning Custard, the Coconut Water Leave-in, and the Coconut Water Penetrating Hair Treatment. Below are my impressions. 🙂 To inform the utility of… Continue reading Initial Impressions from My Recent Camille Rose Naturals Haul
In order to be a support, I try to always purchase my hair products from black-owned beauty supply stores or directly from the product owner/creator. Today I found myself in a non-black-owned beauty supply store. This is because yesterday Google showed me a Twitter post (or was it a Facebook or Instagram post?) announcing that… Continue reading Toxicity in Black Women’s Hair Products, BSS Hair Event, and Latest Hair Product Purchases
I rarely go on Facebook anymore, and I was feeling pretty pleased with myself in terms of how disciplined I felt I was being about it. However, I didn't realize that I had basically replaced the time sink of Facebook with a forum. I gain so much from the forum and the wonderful people there.… Continue reading [Soul] Trading Social Media for Social Meetups
