Yo fam! It’s been a while! One marriage, two kids,  Pops’ death, new house,locs and plenty of things have happened over the last five years.

Loc’ing it up!

First of all, happy Valentines Day to those of you who celebrate it. As I always say: “if it’s a real holiday, give me the day off.” Since I’ve had the entire year off, I guess I should hush my mouth and eat a chocolate. Anyhoo, here’s the post 🙂 Over the past year, I…

Next step in my natural journey

Finally, another post! They’ll come more frequently, I promise. I’ve been natural for going five years and I’m bored. I haven’t been doing anything special with my hair.
