…I can’t wait to wear these when the weather gets truly, really, totally hot and summer-like. I was in Winners with my friend, Dear Auntie Social, a few weeks ago when I saw these hot shoes. Now, I had decided not to buy any shoes in Canada. Why? They are too dang expensive for the…
What is AfroChic?
I don’t know, but you can find out on June 12 at Libra Lounge (391 King St. W) if you’re in the Greater Toronto Area. Unfortunately, I’m going to be out of town, so I won’t have a chance to see what these ladies are up to. The event sounds interesting — getting to hang…
The accidental online henna purchase
I’m sitting here, sick as a dog, with no voice and no one to keep me company. The Hubby is at work and I just signed off from work because my head is hurting from this evil cold that I’m dealing with. Before I go to sleep, I wanted to tell you about my accidental…
Nappy and happy: Taking back the n-word
As I was trolling around my Goo.gle Reader and I came across this article that was featured at Racialicious. This story is the story of so many women who, after years and years of relaxing or texturizing their hair because they were wrongly told they had ‘bad hair’, realize that God blessed them with one…
OT: True thoughts
My friend Sharon sent this email to me and it’s so true. Enjoy! I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. I totally take back all those times I didn’t…
Product review: Colora Henna
Last week, I decided that I was going to use henna for the first time — Colora Henna, specifically. I’ve always wanted to try it, but the time commitment was especially painful to me. I don’t have six hours on a Saturday to wait for henna to do its magic. On Friday, I did have…
Henna, henna, henna day!!
Today is henna day, folks and I’m very excited. As I told you a few days ago, I’ve never tried henna because it very time consuming and my weekends are pretty busy. Now that I’m working from home, I can do things like a henna treatment and leave it on for the entire workday. The…
Adventures in hair straightening
I went to the salon this past weekend and I got my hair trimmed and blow dried. It was supposed to be trimmed, blow dried and coloured, but when my stylist told me that in order to colour my lawless grey hairs, I have to use a demi-permanent colour with peroxide, I put the breaks…
Hair updates to come…
Mornin’ all! I have some hair updates to share with you — but it’s been a busy weekend! Today is my first day officially working from home and I’m trying to get into a good routine so I can remain efficient and productive although I’m working from the comfort of my home office. That means…
Hair purgatory: the dreaded in-between phase
I cut all my relaxed ends off in September 2008 and I’ve been working toward having a head full of thick, glorious healthy kinks and coils. Now, one year and seven months into this natural hair journey and I’ve reached the dreaded in-between phase. My hair is no longer short enough for the cute styles…
