Tonight was my first date in almost a year. Yes, a year. My girlfriend, Debbie, had set me up with one of her co-workers, Derek. We were going to some new restaurant in downtown Toronto, Lavender, supposedly a rapper owns it. hopefully, the food is better than his rhymes. Seeing I hadn’t been out in…

I’m back…:)
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. I’ve started and sputtered to a stop with writing and blogging. It’s been hard, I can’t lie. Some days sliding into bed is the most creative thing I can conjure…

Bad salon practices…
There is a reason why I hate salons. Not all salons, just the badly managed ones. I had made an appointment with the salon that had straightened my hair for March 7 back in December. I decided to loc my hair, so that appointment is no longer needed. So I called the salon to cancel….
Loc’ing it up!

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. Actually it’s been in kinky twists for a good five weeks. My hair reached bra strap length and I got it trimmed back to somewhere between my…
Been a long time!
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…
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…
