My New Natural Hair Journey: Locs!

 Isabelle 11 months after her 1st big chop. A "good hair" day

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve woken up with a sore neck from purposefully sleeping at odd angles in order not to ruin my curls/twist-outs. Or how many nights I stayed up into the early hours of the morning, twisting my hair to perfection, just so that it would look “presentable” the next day. And I definitely can’t, at least not without being utterly embarrassed, let you know how many mornings I’ve felt unattractive because my hair didn’t curl in that certain way … Continue reading →

#DreamKidsTMS (Texture Manageability System) - Versatility for Kids with Natural Hair

DreamKids Texture Manageability System

As the mother of a tween girl, I find that the older she gets the more she wants to change things about herself. Whether it be her clothes or her hair, versatility is key. Allowing your child to express themselves especially when it comes to how they look is important to develop their self esteem. My daughter is perfectly happy with the texture and style of her natural hair and has never said much about it when it comes to offering her a straightening option. … Continue reading →

Everyone had such a good time at the first brunch that we just had to turn this idea into a regular occurence. Once again we were gathered in a group of 12 of or less for a casual conversation and a beautiful brunch. These women came prepared for some positive interaction. I really love the atmosphere of Social Vinings. … Continue reading →
