APPRECIATION :D

Hello World !!

So, being observant and everything I've noticed that I've been getting quite a bit of interesting feedback. What makes the feedback interesting is that it comes from those I least expect. Which goes to show that people ARE actually READING my blogs. & I want to take time out to THANK all of you. I really enjoy writing and I think that being able to use writing to inspire others is awesome. It's truly a blessing to be able to try something new and nurse it until it grows into something beautiful.

It's so exciting.

I honestly believe that life is a road with many directions and only one destination. None of us know what our direct future really holds, even though we may dream and dwell on what we would like it to be. Often times we're reminded that we have no say in our destination when the unexpected does happen. Sorta like this!... I wouldn't have thought that I'd have a blog, or that I'd be natural, or that I'd even be up at this very hour on Christmas Day writing this post. Crazy right? Exactly. So, my point is that you never know where life may take you, so don't sell yourself short.

Until next time Everyone

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays !

SB: Please remember to keep CHRIST in Christmas. Please do not forget the original purpose of celebrating and what the holiday is really about. Also, don't go broke trying to play Santa, the people with deserving hearts would understand. Be Safe & Be Merry ! I know I will be; with the hot chocolate & all.

My FIRST Wash&Go

Hello World & fellow naturalistas !!

I'm excited to report that I did my first wash n go and let me tell you, when you have hair like mine; the process is far more complicated than the misleading phrase "wash & Go".

I straightened my hair two days ago to trim my ends and decided I'd try a wash & go. I used a spray bottle & three products. I'll post pictures below.



First I added the Shea moisture Curling Gel Souffle' to my straight hair, I used a lot. Then I added the Dark & Lovely cream and then sprayed my hair like crazy until it was drenched in water. In that section I would finger shingle the products through my hair until it started to revert, then I'd move on to the next section. When I was done, I added Eco Styler Gel to hold the curls. I used my blow dryer on warm heat to speed up the drying process and let it air dry until it was completely dry. here's a photo of how it turned it out:










After it was completely dry I had tons of white balls from the Eco Styler Gel so the next day I washed it and reapplied the curling gel souffle and curl moisturizing souffle, here the results:
