Great Protective Styles for College Students with Natural Hair
Let’s be honest: college is stressful. Almost any and every college student could go on a tangent about the nights they didn’t get enough sleep, the seemingly endless hours they’ve spent in class, and the weekends that they had to, regretfully, choose studying over hanging with friends. College is jam-packed with things to do, places to go, assignments to complete, and professors to meet. And for a natural girl who needs to set aside nearly a full 24-hours just for her wash day, any hair time-savers … Continue reading

Step on faith and follow my dreams … Continue reading

Motions Straight Finish Review + Give Away
Before I went natural, Motions was my go to product for all of my hair care needs. The one thing that I remember loving about Motions products was always the smell. Motions CPR was one of my favorite products to use for my damaged hair. As a no heat natural I vowed that I would never apply heat or straighten my hair and I didn’t. That was until recently. In a previous post I wrote about how I ended up at a blow dry salon … Continue reading

Black Coffee Movie
My husband and I had a great time checking out the Black Coffee Movie last night at the invitation of Lamar & Ronnie Tyler.

Black Coffee stars Darrin Henson, Gabrielle Dennis, Christian Keyes, Lamman Rucker, & Erica Hubbard. It’s a Black romantic comedy that promotes monogamy and that encourages us to follow our dreams whatever … Continue reading
