MIND, HEART, HAIR, BODY & SOUL

One more day left of my "FROLICIOUS" week! Ladies and gentlemen, let me share with you that the afro is a conversation pieces. It attracts. People stare and smile, watching you pass by... Some comment, "So, Afrocentric... Nice!"  It was an honor to experience such positive attention. I receive so many request to touch it. The comment I love the most" WOW! It's so soft. This comment brought happiness to me, instantly because I remember how my hair used to be when I was child. Unfortunately, it was not as soft as it is now, hence the reason for putting a relaxer in my hair by the approximate age of 9 years old. So, I played a lot with it this week. I blew it out with a blow dryer, at first. Then, curled it with rods the next day, removed the curls and fluffed it out the following day. Shampooed it with Curl MAX Curl Enhancing Shampoo , applied two applications, rinse it out, added Curl Activator Moisturizer , let the curls absorb the moisturizer, picke...

Today is the first day, I actually wore my natural hair, after losing it all to relaxers, two years ago. For some reason, my hair just began to reject relaxers, created breakage, practically leaving me to be bald. Then, I did not have the courage to wear the TWA hairstyle because I never chose it. So, I wore many different styles of braids until I reached this day, today. Today, I embrace my hair for what it is, kinky, curly and coils. It is the perfect afro mane, some wish they had. Now, that I've been testing hair products and reviewing them. I am very happy to share that I actually know the products that work best for my hair type. My 4C, kinky, curly, coils have adapted and embraced Goat & Coconut Krem Ak Let MOISTURIZING HAIR MILK  by Kreyol Essence. Goat & Coconut Krem Ak Let MOISTURIZING HAIR MILK  contains Organic Goat Milk, Coconut Cream, Shea Butter and Haitian Black Castor Oil to soften and hydrate hair. It contains Vitamin A,...

The Emmy Awards 2014 Fashion really caught my eye, this year. It was nice to see the illustration of elegance, sophiscation and class among most of the wardrobes. Here is a list of my favorites: The stunning curvaceous beauty, Dasha Polanco simply represented the life of a princess in this gown. This dress suits her so well, as if it was customized for her. The color suits her complexion perfectly, and her hairstyle and jewelry complemented the entire look. Just awesome!   The marvelous Halle Berry glamourously wears a gown from Ella Saab Fall 2014 Collection. This is definitely Pure Elegance from head to toe.           I love this dress on Kerry Washington. It is classy, sophiscated, elegant and electic. The popping orange illuminated her golden skin tone, and the black glitter glitz underneath the high slit is a great sneek peak to glam.       The Exquisite Keke Palmer electrified the red carp...

Looking back and highlighting on my favorite outfits of the Video Music Awards 2014- So, let's begin with The Queen Beyonce who always dresses phenomenally. Loving her in this eloquent burgundy color gown. Her dresses always fit her curves so perfectly. And, her glitter glitz glam leotard was perfect for her performance.   Jennifer Lopez looked ravishingly stunning in her cut up glitter gown. The crowd could not resist her glam.     This cocktail dress really caught my eye. I love the eclectic statement it creates- asymmetrically short, but classy.      The look of this cutie patootie dress is so very cute. It creates a great classy, sassy, young spirited look for young ladies. The shoes match it perfectly.       Now, this dress by Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Collection is to die for... It is gorgeous and unique.      I love it when pregnant women dress eloquently. This is a beautif...

Just want to highlight on Kinky Twist... Kinky Twist is actually the rough version of Senegalese Twist. Since I have that strong kinky 4C Curly Coil, the kinky style fits my hair perfectly. More reason why I am so in love with Kinky Twist. My first experience with Kinky Twist was actually a year ago. To my surprise, all of my hair actually fell out due to excessive usage of relaxers and colors. My hair was tired from the constant chemical process and, I myself was tired of experiencing breakage and hair loss. So, I actually allowed my hair to do what it wanted to do, and that was to fall off. The experience was frightening. I actually cried for weeks. I began to wear a wig daily, until I courageously went to Mam African Hair Braiding Salon . My hair was literally a short boy cut, or a TWA for naturals. I did not like it at all. After all, it was not a choice I made. I had that style by default. The feeling was horrible. But to my rescue, Mam African Hair Braiding Salon , worked...

Thank you so much for the compliments I received for my hair. Little that you know I've been wearing it for two months now. I took them out yesterday and got something new today. This style is called Short Kinky Twist.  The credit goes to my hairstylist at Mam African Hair Braiding Salon . I love them! Their service is excellent and the prices are reasonable and affordable.  Mam has been braiding my hair for years, while it was relaxed, as well as it being natural. And, now, that we have three naturalists, additional to myself in the family; we are committed to going to Mam . Whatever the style, just bring it to Mam . Follow them on Instagram .
