No, I haven’t done one of these in a long time. People weren’t riling me up enough to put them on blast, but, John Mayer, you’ve taken me from that place of calm where I talk about hair and products and made me good vex. Black History Month has led me to be annoyed for…
Product review: Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk and Lisa’s Hair Elixir
Carol’s Daughter’s products have always interested me — even before I decided to go natural. So when the Relaxed Chick wanted me to swap some products back in November. I received the Hair Milk and Lisa’s Hair Elixir. I decided to use them while I wore my kinky twists. Let’s start with the Hair Milk….
Extra! Extra! Shipping fees SUCK!
Hi all! I’m working on a product review that, hopefully, will be posted tonight. Until then, I wanted to quickly tell you about what I found online. So, if you’ve been reading my blog, you would know that I hate, HATE paying shipping charges — especially when they are ridiculous. There is no reason why…
Updates, updates, updates!
Well, only two updates for you this week: my Accidental Spending Fast and the Hairlista Healthy Ends Challenge. On the spending fast tip: the Hubby and I got through January pretty well. I wasn’t able to save as much as I would have liked because I made many unplanned charity donations in January. Alas, these…
DIY hair care: Yogurt cleanser
Last week, I was fretting about my scalp going crazy from over-shampooing, especially with this dry winter weather. My skin, except for my face, is dry and I have tried a number of things to calm it and my scalp. Alas, reader Moni left a comment about using a yogurt, bentonite clay and apple cider…

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…
Doing the ‘do – Just because
Just because my hair was looking particularly cute today and I don’t have a dang thing to do this cold January night, I’ve decided to post some pictures of my ‘do. You’ve seen this one before — I just added some hair jewellery. The same jewellery that I wore on Tuesday when I was trying…
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 –…
When a good hair ‘do goes bad… – Part 2
Good morning, y’all! Yesterday, I was in a tizzy trying to figure out what the heck to do with my hair. I had rocked a cute twisted/flat twisted updo for about a week and the style had reached its limit. I was a hot, fuzzy mess. Some folks here and on Facebook thought I should…
When a good hair ‘do goes bad…
I wish I had a picture to show you. Last week, I created a somewhat intricate style for myself. Well, it’s not that intricate, but it did take more time than normal. I have flat twists around my head and then twists that I corkscrew in the middle. Picture it, folks! It was really cute……
