These past few weeks have shown me something: we don’t have as much time as we think we do. From my dad getting sick to hearing about a former classmate getting gunned down and a bunch of other things reinforced what my mom has always said: “You don’t have tomorrow put down.” Meaning, you may…

Has anyone tried Morrocco Method shampoo?
I was searching around last night for shampoos that do not contain any coconut-based products and I came across Morrocco Method shampoos that are all natural AND look like, from the ingredient list that I read don’t have coconut. Yippee! I also found it for sale at my favourite spot, Honey Fig. Woo hoo! Before…
Beauty post: Eyebrow obsession!
Today, I’m starting something new: a beauty post! I’ve never really been into makeup and stuff like that. I always liked it on a high level – use some concealer to mask some dark marks, paint my toenails in the summer (mainly because they are ugly) and things of that sort, but I’m certainly not…
Celebrate the last weekend of Black History Month
I haven’t said much about Black History Month this year. It’s not because I’m disinterested, it’s just that I haven’t had the time to participate or even look into any BHM events. As the last weekend of Black History Month is upon us, here are two events that you can get involved in if you’re…
Length check… sort of…
It’s not a true length check – I was going through some old pictures that I have on my computer and I noticed that my hair has grown. Check out these three pictures – one from July 2010 and another from December 2010: A lot of growth, huh? Well, at least I think so 🙂…
Tangle Teezer & Shea Moisture to Canada!
There are very few products I can’t get here. Either I can order online or find them in store. Recently, I’ve wanted to get my hot little hands on two: the Tangle Teezer and Shea Moisture products. Now, I understand that not everything will be locally available and if I want to try out certain…
My Valentine’s Day songs
Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal for me and The Hubby — we let each other know that we love each other daily. So today isn’t any different than last week Monday. But in honour of Valentine’s Day, I’ve listed some of the love songs that I think set the mood. When I say love…
I love my natural hair
Since my dad has come home, I’ve been working remotely from my parents house. This past week, my hair has been completely under wraps. I’d be wearing my bonnet under my hat when I came over in the mornings. I have been hanging out with my parents all day and, if I needed to run…
OT: Moment 4 Life
I can’t lie, I’m not a Nicki Minaj fan. I can’t get down with the whole Barbie thing and whatnot, but I do think Nicki’s pretty creative. I’m feeling her new song, Moment 4 Life. I guess it kind of speaks to me (gasp!) — enjoy every moment in life. Happy Saturday!
Quick scalp + hair update – pictures
Here are the pics that I promised you earlier. The hair is still holding up — six days in. Couldn’t wash it tonight, hopefully some time this weekend I’ll get the time to do my hair. Anyhow, take a look:
