It’s been two weeks and some since the Haiti earthquake and slowly people are thinking about other things. Thankfully, people are still paying attention. Although there is still a lot of sadness and confusion concerning the situation, there is also rays of optimism. Why? Well, Haiti has gotten the short end of the stick for…

Product review: Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner, Weightless Moisture
While I was in New York, I was able to get my hands on Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner, Weightless Moisture. I had been searching for a good leave-in conditioner. I had been using Infusium 23 Frizzology and I HATED it. Why? It didn’t do anything. I would spray and spray and spray and still –…

Curls products available at Trade Secrets
Today, after weeks of not going near the mall, I decided to walk around and clear my head a little. In my search for a leave-in conditioner (I love the Giovanni Direct Leave-in, but I don’t know where to find it locally), I dropped by Trade Secrets in Eaton Centre. Guess what was there? The…
Product review: Miss Jessie’s Rapid Recovery Treatment vs. Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Mask
When I was in New York, I did some damage in Target and purchased Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Mask. It was a pretty good price $6.99 for six ounces. Now, I’ve heard plenty about Neutrogena and their products. I don’t think I had seen the Deep Recovery Mask in Toronto, so when I saw…
Be optimistic. Be hopeful. Stay strong.
I have to say, January hasn’t started 2010 on a positive note. At the end of 2009, I kept saying, “I feel good things for 2010!” Well… it’s definitely been difficult to say the least. Although the last week has tested my faith and been hard to deal with, I’m still going to be optimistic…
Thoughts on Haiti
This week I did a lot of thinking. Whenever tragedies in our world happen, I have to stop and think about my life, what I’m doing and what’s important to me. A number of people — including a close friend of Hubby’s — lost family and friends this week in Haiti and that grieves my…
Help Haiti now!
I know this is a hair blog, but there are things in life that are much more important than today’s new style or a product review. Yesterday, the island nation of Haiti was hit with a severe 7.0 earthquake, destroying most of their capital city, Port-au-Prince. I grew up with a lot of Haitians in…
The Accidental Natural’s Spending Fast mini update
Today was payday and I dutifully wrote out my budget – how much I was spending on my credit card and line of credit, mortgage, tithes and what I was putting in my savings account. I normally do most of my transactions through online banking and just deposit my mortgage payment in person. So after…
Doing the ‘do: Products behaving badly
Once I wash my hair and moisturize it with whatever I’ve decided to moisturize with, I don’t think that much about moisturizing — well, I don’t think about what I’m going to moisturize with. And this, my friends, can cause problems. Case in point: This past Friday, I moisturized my hair with Cantu Shea Butter…
