[Health] My Daily Turmeric and Collagen Bullet Green Tea Recipe

Yvette

It's been a while since I posted regarding the fitness challenge. There are several reasons why. First, I've been in an "explore, trial, and assess" mode. I've been trialing the Keto diet, Paleo diet, and Atkins diet to see which works best for me. I didn't want to create a lot of posts about trialed… Continue reading [Health] My Daily Turmeric and Collagen Bullet Green Tea Recipe

[Fun] If This Hair Journey Were a School, Would You Be a Student? Teacher? Other? And . . .

Yvette

Greeings!  I hope this post finds you well! A while back someone on a hair forum created a thread entitled, "If This Hair Journey Were a School." She wrote: What kind of degree would you have? Would you be an A student, B student . . . Would you be a teacher or a student?… Continue reading [Fun] If This Hair Journey Were a School, Would You Be a Student? Teacher? Other? And . . .

Before Tomorrow’s Rare Salon Visit: Wash Day to Prep for My Semi-Annual Flat Iron and Trim

Yvette

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

Last Sunday! (Gratitude, Sermon Notes, and LifeHack Bible Antifragility Excerpt)

Yvette

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!

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.
