Would you believe me if I told you that I style my hair more now that it is loc’d than I did when I was a free natural? I had no idea how to manage my natural hair before locs because I am convinced my texture does not fit into any of the categories. My hair texture looks coarse, feels super soft and comes with a lot of frizz. This was one of the reasons why I decided to loc my hair because I knew that I would be able…

I would have to say fall is my favorite time of the year! I love when the leaves begin to change colors, and when I can pull my sweaters and boots out of the closet. Oh and did I mention my birthday is in the fall! Fall brings a warm, cozy feeling that is impossible not to love. I would have to admit I don’t ever recall actually enjoying fall with a significant other however; I am a hopeless romantic. So of course I ponder over things my future significant…

African American professional women have long hid under weaves and perms in order to get in formation with their white…

My whole life, I have been a very active person when it comes to physical activity. However when I was pregnant, I took a whole year off from exercising. I really did not have a reason as to why in the beginning of my pregnancy. When I got to my second trimester, I experienced a flare-up of my Ulcerative Colitis that lasted throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Since that happened, I did not have any energy to exercise. I just wanted to do what I needed to do to…
