Team Natural

Sixteen months ago I embarked on this natural hair Journey,I would be a terrible person if I give the impression that it has been a  flower and rainbow sort of experience.These days there are countless blog post and videos dedicated to this journey whether you opt to do a big chop or transition you can find helpful and relevant insight all over the web.Everyone experience is different  however and as such I try to share my experience. There are days when I look at pictures of my healthy, bouncy relaxed hair and think what have I done,then there are other days when I marvel at my  hair in its current state. For me natural hair provides versatility. I can go curly,straight , wavy,rock a fro the option are truly endless,  However it takes some time and practice but once you get the hang of it you will be on your way.

Red Lips and Big Hair

DIY Face Mask

So your skin has been through it all , the summer was rough.Here's how to help your skin recover.Today I will sharing  with you two mask that can be easily incorporated into your skin care routine. Both mask utilize  items I've already introduced so lets get to it.

Charcoal Mask

• Activated Charcoal (1-3 capsule)
• Tea Tree Oil (1 drop)
• Baking soda
• Honey

Combine all ingredients, apply evenly over the face, allow to dry then rinse with ward water (preferable).

Senegalese Twist

How many times can I say it ,I love protective styles.This summer I went with Senegalese twist.I opted to use Nappy Annie Barding hair I used about 6 Packs #4. The style took about 6 hours but again this depends on the person doing your hair.Please note that depending on the size of the twist and how your wear and care this style may not last the traditional 4-6 weeks. You can get away with wearing it longer if you opt to re twist, however generally speaking it may last 3-4 weeks.

Road Trip Chronicles

Yesterday a few friends and I Journey to Portland for a birthday celebration .We made stops at French Man's Cove and an unplanned stop at the folly ruins .Portland is know for it many beautiful beaches and rivers however there is a lot more to experience.I recently heard the story surrounding this beautiful structure. It was built in the 18 century and sea water was used to construct the massive house. Undoubtedly the house began to crumble ,despite the infrastructural challenges though  a great deal of the property still stands today .If you are ever in Portland do check it out. I had an amazing day French man's cove was quite refreshing .After a long hectic week it was amazing to just submerge in the clear blue waters. 

This week I also celebrated by 24th birthday.Its crazy to think that I'm already in my mid twenties.How time flies. Grateful for having lived another year,one filled with triumphs ,failures and most importantly lessons. The journey is not in the destination but rather the moments that lead you there.I can honesty see my growth over the past couple of years and for that I am thankful.Here are a few images from our stop at folly.Until next time..........
