May’s CurlKit has been taken over by SheaMoisture!

I’ve been against subscription boxes since Day one. Mainly beauty subscription products as I found that the samples they gave you weren’t worth the subscription box price. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot more with my natural hair, and with my staple products slowly running out the need to find a replacement was urgent as I  vowed that I would never order from my staple company ever again in my life. To aid in my search, I decided to go against everything I said and subscribe to the Curlkit box for the month of May.  Now I will begin to eat…

I’m not Afraid to Rock my Legs

I’m not Afraid to Rock my Legs

I’ve got big legs. Actually, I’ve had them all my life. I remember being in elementary school and sitting Indian style on the floor with my friends trying to figure out why my legs looked so much bigger than theirs. At that age, I was unaware at how proportionally different African American bodies could be to that of Caucasians. This caused me to be self-conscious as I wanted small legs like theirs. I was at a school that was predominately caucasian and there weren’t many students I could self-identify with so I wanted to fit in as much as possible.  As…

Char-Broil and Honey Jalapeno Chicken Wings

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Char-Broil for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. With the warm weather finally here to stay it’s time to pull out the summer clothes and put away the long johns. I absolutely love the warm weather, but what I love more is the smell of tasty food being cooked on the grill. I’ve been doing the 21 Day Fix and for the past 21 days so all I could think about was what I was going to treat myself to when I was finally done. I wanted something spicy…

Pro Line: SheaMoisture CocoShea Biolipid Complex Curl Memory Leave in Conditioner and Gentle Curl-Cleansing Co-wash Review

Imagine my surprise when I walked into Sally’s Beauty Supply store and found out that my beloved SheaMoisture had snuck in a new Pro line of hair care products on me. Three different product lines make up the SheaMoisture Pro Line Curl Care, Color Care, and Keratin Care. I figured I was all late boots with finding out about this product until I checked out the SheaMoisture Instagram page and found out that they were just introduced 3 weeks ago! Since I’m focusing on loving my natural curls with little manipulation (as seen in this Quick and Easy Wash N…

I actually worked out 21 Days in a row with the 21 Day Fix!

I actually worked out 21 Days in a row with the 21 Day Fix!

Since the hubs and I are working hard to get our financial house in order I decided that it might be time to work a little harder at getting my body back in order. I’ve been on Weight Watchers and I’d had my good weeks and my bad weeks, with more bad than good. I decided that I wanted to be more active and do more than just count points so I put Weight Watchers on pause and decided to try out the 21 Day Fix Program. 21 Day Fix has been out for some time and I’ve seen a…
