Yes, a year. A year since I last posted anything. But what a year it’s been! I haven’t been doing anything with my hair. Since having my daughter – who is now a nine-month-old bundle of energy – I haven’t really had the time to do much besides some two-strand twists and buns. Now that…

Hair growth & HoneyFig sale
I promised a hair post last week and here it is – a few days late! I was sitting at my desk a couple of days ago and twirling my hair. I know, it’s a bad habit, but when your hair is feeling soft and supple, bouncy and healthy, it’s kinda hard to keep your…
OT: All I want for Christmas
Today is a bit of a stressful day for me. A year ago, this Tuesday (the actual date was December 14) I got a call that my dad was rushed to the hospital. He suffered a stroke. My family spent the next month in the hospital with my dad before he was transferred to a…
Hair updates!!!
It’s been a LONG time since I did a formal hair update, so I have plenty to write about! OK, so the last time I updated you was in June… shoot, that’s like six months ago! Good grief! Let’s get started. A year of twists and flaky scalp issues. I mentioned in June that I…

Be careful of hair dyes!
Hi all, Long time no post. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and tired as all get out! At least I’m not throwing up any more. I’m praising God for that 😉 17 weeks to go! Today, I saw an article at the Toronto Star’s website and thought it was important to share with you. It’s pretty…
Deep conditioner help!
I had a quick email conversation with a friend this morning. We were talking deep conditioners. Sigh. Deep conditioners make me sad. Why? I can’t find one that does what I think it should do. I believe if I take the time to do a deep condition, my hair should be noticeable softer, more manageable,…
Would you consider relaxing your hair again?
Over the past few weeks, I haven’t had the energy to do much with my hair. I love taking the time to nurture my hair and create new styles and all of that. But when I was sick, I really wondered if doing my hair would have been so daunting if it was still relaxed….
