Hi all! I’m celebrating my birthday this week, so I probably won’t post anything again until next week. But I did come across this picture of me from BlogHer that I wanted to share. My hair was looking HYPE! The weather and my technique came together and I was very, VERY happy with this twist out….

Product review: Softee Rejuvenating Growth Oil
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a Softee Rejuvenating Growth Oil in the beauty supply store that caught my attention. I’m not really down with growth aids, but I liked this oil because of its ingredients: (Ed. Note – I just found out that I listed the ingredients for another Softee product — one…
August to August – a year in growth
I was going to do this in September for my second nappyversary, but I’m inspired. Over the past year, I haven’t always been able to see my hair growth. So, sometimes I’ve felt a little discouraged. But I turned a corner this spring — after wearing protective/low maintenance styles — and my hair is growing steadily….
BlogHer, blog you, blog me: BlogHer ’10 and NYC round-up – Part I
Right now, it’s 4:03 pm and I’m sitting in John F. Kennedy airport with a sore back, sore feet and a mildly surly disposition. Dear Auntie Social (also from Madeleines + Macarons) and I have missed our 2:59 pm flight to Toronto. The sad thing about it is that we didn’t miss our flight because…
I’m back — but sick!
I love summertime so much that I do too dang much, hence the reason that I’m sick and on my back today. I do have a few posts rolling around my head: BlogHer ’10 and NYC round-up Product review: EcoStyler Olive Oil Styling Gel Product review: Kimmaytube’s Leave-in Conditioner Some comparison pictures – a year…
BlogHer ’10 – follow updates on Twitter
Good morning, y’all! Yawn! Up late last night in Times Square, but up early to get to the Newbie Breakfast and the keynote. This computer and the wireless provided at the hotel is KILLING me. And playing around with more than one web application is a combination for misery. So, for now, you can follow…

Not only am I going to hear one of my favourite bloggers Awesomely Luvvie speak (this chick is hilarious and crazy — maybe she’ll wall slide with me?), but…
Caribana 2K10: Hair, fun and more fun
Woo! Hey, y’all! I’m recuperating from Caribana. I had a great time, lots of dancing, eating and spending time with friends and family. Most importantly, I had to figure out what to do with my hair to keep it looking decent although I was going to spend mad time in the sun. Wednesday night was…
Essence.com: The Hair Politics of Natural vs. Permed
This morning, I saw a post from Essence.com that my cousin shared on Face.book. Black women’s hair will always be cause for discussion whether you are wearing a weave, relaxing your hair or wearing your hair natural. My sister-in-law and I were talking about some very backwards guys that she has encountered who say they…
Side-eye of the week: Toronto Police Service
Why am I side-eyeing the police? You know that Black people ALWAYS side-eye the police. I’m playing! I’m playing! Well, if you read my blog, you will know that I really, really, really love Caribana. It’s part of my West Indian culture and it’s something that, as I get older, means more to me than…
