Now, you all know how much I love me some HoneyFig. This is the spot where I order my products — their shipping prices are decent and the store is great. So, imagine me almost shrieking in my very quiet office when I read about their customer appreciation days? Check the details: This week, starting…
Shopping, shopping and more shopping!
Hey all! I hope you all had a great Easter long weekend. I spent much of my time with family and friends. I hung out with one of my close girlfriend’s new bundle of joy. She’s so precious and sweet! She totally made my Saturday (that and seeing Why Did I Get Married Too?). Anyhow,…
What’s the point of having long hair…
… if it’s forever in a protective style or under a wig? I was just reading someone’s hair profile (yes, people do write up hair profiles with the who, what, where, when and how of their natural journey), and a woman was showing pictures of her bra strap length (BSL) hair. But she says that…
Hair Politics: Is my hair ‘good’ enough?
I love my hairdresser – like a cousin or a good friend. We’ve been together for at least six years and she helped my hair stay relatively healthy and strong while it was relaxed. When I decided to go natural, she encouraged me and would enthusiastically talk about my hair whenever I was in the…
I blame Chris Rock…
Yesterday, I had an ergonomic assessment done on my desk and chair. I suffer with lower back problems and carpal tunnel syndrome, so it’s becoming necessary for me to have my cubicle refigured to alleviate some of the pain. So, the woman who does our assessments came to my desk and we talked for about…
DIY: Brown sugar scalp scrub
As you know, my scalp can be evil. It will flake out for no good reason or it will behave. Why it does what it does is a mystery to me. Too much shampoo, flakes. Too much co-washing, build-up. Too little shampoo, build-up. Too little co-washing, flakes. Sigh. Understanding the minds of men is easier…
Going organic and natural
I’ve been toying with the idea of going organic and natural with all of my hair and body care products. Why? Well, I’ve been going to a naturopathic doctor for a few weeks now and I’m so surprised about how synthetics products can be so detrimental to your health. I’ve heard a number of hair…
The Accidental Natural in Western Canada
Hey all! I’m at Vancouver International Airport and I’m looking forward to getting home and scrubbing my scalp (and seeing The Hubby, my parents, the fam and my fish). I’ve realized that washing my hair once a week is a necessary evil in the winter. Now that spring is finally here (woo hoo!) I’m going…
The Accidental Natural on the go
Hi all, This week, posting will be very light. I’m going away for a few days and I may not have the opportunity or the Internet connection to post while I’m gone. We’ll see, we’ll see. I’m very excited — I’m heading to Western Canada (Edmonton and Vancouver) for work and I’ve never gone to…
Support Young Artists for Haiti
First the Americans did it by remaking We Are the World. I won’t knock it because it’s for a good cause, but T-Pain, Akon and Weezy? Really? Anyhoo, Canadian artists have remade K’Naan’s single Wavin’ Flag to raise money to support relief efforts in Haiti. The track features Nelly Furtado, Kardinal Offishall, Drake, Fefe Dobson,…
