Happy second nappyversary to me!
Two celebrations in two weeks! How exciting! Three years ago today, I was preparing for my wedding to Hubby. At that point, I had dabbled with the thought of going all natural. In 2002. during the ‘I’m taking a break from men’ phase (my dating life pre-Hubby was a romantic comedy — watch for my…
Happy blogiversary to me!
Yes, folks, The Accidental Natural is one-year-old! I almost forgot my blogiversary, to be honest. Life is busy! This blog has definitely been therapy for me.

OT: What does 35 look like anyway?
I recently celebrated a birthday. A big one – number 35. Gasp! I was kind scared. Don’t get me wrong – I feel enormously blessed to have lived 35 years – but it is a bit scary. Who would have thought I’d be grown up? I always thought that I would be 14 for life….
Happy scalp, happy life?
