MIND, HEART, HAIR, BODY & SOUL

On October 17, 2014, I had the privilege of hosting the First Annual Precious Pink Memories created by Luna Starz Management. Luna Starz Management is a savvy event planning company created by Lounick Perony, aka Cookie Sweet. As a Breast Cancer Survivor, Lounick Perony is committed to creating fun filled events in order to fundraise for Breast Cancer Awareness. A portion of the proceeds are donated to American Cancer Society at Making Strides Walk . After receiving the news that I would be hosting Precious Pink Memories, my first thought was, "What am I going to do with my hair?" As a naturalist for the past three years, I've been wearing many different styles of kinky twists. I did not want to look the same for the event. I felt that I needed to step up and demonstrate some creativity of my natural beauty and charm. As I envisioned, I came up with a Mohawk, but I was not sure of how the front was going...

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,...

As I've taken the time to meditate for the past month during the transition of season, I've realized that I've grown a whole lot. I am such a better person today, then I was yesterday, last month, last year... I've improved so much by simply becoming familiar with my state of being, sense of style, and personality. I've learned a lot about myself and embraced myself as my own best friend. I must share that it has been the best personal experience I have ever had in so long. My mind has developed and broadened into creative thinking. Since then, my dreams have been coming true, one after the other. What was once lost is now gained by simply knowing myself as I am. I am now all smiles, walking a path with a new destination. The beauty of it is that I did not need anyone to do anything for me to acquire this new found sense of happiness, peace, freedom, and joy. I am blessed and it shows. I wear it from head to toe. Now, as my blessings pour into my life, I feel...
