Quick scalp + hair update
A couple of posts ago, I complained that my scalp was acting up because of the stress I was dealing with. I wanted to give you a quick update because things are looking up. First of all, my stress level has come down… a lot. My dad is feeling better and that makes me feel…
The greatest twist out ever!
Yes, last week and this weekend, I rocked the greatest twist out ever! As much as I complained — and I complained bitterly — about my Essential Wholesale purchase, their Olive Nourishing Creme is the truth. My hair was moist, soft, fluffy, defined and it got better each day. These pictures are from The Hubby’s…
A wholesale pain in the *bleep* – Part 2
So, I was waiting patiently since October 27 for the products that I ordered from Essential Wholesale.

My regimen: Spring/Summer 2010

HoneyFig: Fighting product junkie-ism day-by-day
A couple of weeks ago, I was meeting up with my sister and some friends for dinner on a temperate Friday night. The restaurant was north of downtown. Seeing that I had a transit day pass, I was able to roam up to North York Centre subway… up to the famed HoneyFig store (4967 Yonge…
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.
