Ever heard of Vegetable Soap?

Hello there, Soil Kenyan Shea Butter and Kalyan Neroli Patchouli Natural Cleansing Bar How you doing? lol, I can't help but think about Wendy Williams when I say that. I hope the week has been blessing you. So I bought a natural soap(am I allowed to say that?), handmade soap, yes a handmade soap, I checked,it is natural. Initially I was out to buy the African Black soap and then I stumbled upon this lovely smelling block and it was priced very well so I thought to myself how about we start here first. I had read countless times that African Black soap can be drying to the skin and I am trying so greatly to avoid that as my skin gets dry quickly, but still curious enough to try a handmade soap hence I opted for that option. This soap smells amazing( I love Patchouli!). I have read as well that the black soap helps with eczema but just to be on the safe side I am trying this one out. Here is my verdict thus far. I am not sure what colour is that I have used this ...

60 Days Protective Style

Hello there, I have been thinking about having a long term protective style for a while now, when I say long term I mean a protective style kept on for more than 4 weeks. Oh look at me getting right into it without asking about you. How you doing? Been a minute , ain't it? I hope all is going good by your side, having a fab mid week! What brought me to finally deciding to do it? I bumped into a blog AfroMoriri lol, I had to go through it because it had Moriri in its name. I mean I could relate! On Daffodil's blog I saw that she had a 6 month protective style challenge and like me she mentioned that she was procrastinating when to start. This was not a coincidence finding this at this time, because she started hers in November and that is next month, HELLO protective style! So this puts me at the right spot to start this challenge. I am hoping there will be some people who will join me along the way. I know exactly how I want this to go since it has be...

A piece of my heart to you

You know when you are feeling blue somehow you become most creative. Thinking about the most creative poetic pieces ever? I want to talk to you. I want to talk to a girl, a woman, whatever you identify yourself as. As long as you are female. I have noticed that us girls don't have support, towards each other, from each other, for each other.  And I know that this is gonna come as a surprise to you especially on this blog but in all  honesty this is the direction I set to take from the beginning to talk about more deeper  things. We always have to find a way to attract your attention first. I woke up thinking of how we are marvellously  made. How our body is a gift to the world. I am a very spiritual person if I have already thrown  you off then I guess this marks the spot for you, I would love for you to hear me out  though. So yes, we are marvellously made! And this is all in appreciation of our physique. Not how  it is, sexy it is or other su...

How is October looking

Hello lovelies, spring in my yard Been dragging to talk to you this week, it's not you it's me lol. What could you have possibly done to me beside come here and have an occasional read? How you doing(in Wendy's voice)... I surely hope that this month has brought you some lady luck It looks like this post is always gonna be late, it should be the first to greet you when the month starts but oh well let's get on with it. I am going to give you an update on my last month's regimen and what this month's plan has been so far(I'd rather not because I have not been a good naturalista). If you are new, welcome, last month I posted a plan for the month here , and I carried it out quite well throughout the month. There is also an update about how I kept on with it here .  SO my take down about the routine  my roots came out very thick, and it could be because of a lot of factors (frequent water, scalp stimulation, castor oil with scalp massage) my ha...

Wig Slayage!!

Wig Slayage! What is up?  I can't stop laughing at my post's name, yes wig slayage. See that pic there, yes girl that is a wig that I made. And I am going to tell you all about it. I hope you are having a blessed week thus far. Since my days of camping on YouTube, wig making tutorials are one of the most videos  I watched because wigs can be so darn expensive. I meditated on it and now I am on my 2nd wig and I am gonna keep going!  On my first wig I did not have a mannequin head,so I made the investment to buy one and that was a good decision. It made a huge difference with how this wig came out. I have been wearing this wig for about a week while my hair is in a 2 week old twist underneath. Like I mentioned I plan on making more to keep hiding my hair while looking good. This is a good way to keep your long term protective style hidden when it start to look fury! If you are interested in making your own wigs, these are the tools I suggest you buy: mannequi...

Bentonite Clay Wash(GOLD!)

hair fully covered with clay Hey you, I have been waiting too long to share this pot of gold with you guys. I hope you are doing well and happy October to you. I really think every person with curly hair should try this. Bentonite clay or clay washing (I have to try other clays) is the bomb! If you have never heard of it just read here I will wait. I decided to do this wash out of curiosity because all the naturals (blogs and YouTube) rave about how your curls clump and hair gets so soft after washing with clay. And I attest to that, my hair even absorbed the conditioner much better than when I just normally shampoo. Here is how I went about it: I washed my hair with my medicated shampoo, sorry washed my scalp, we don’t want my scalp to have excess oil on it or else it will act up. This is how it looks Then I put on my clay mix which I made runny in an applicator bottle to make application easy and less messy. I applied per section on my hair making sure th...
