Let’s Celebrate Mrsphatandnaptural Turns 3!
Mrsphatandnaptural Turns 3 years old today! Whoo hoo! I may not be where some have risen to in 3 years, but I’m still here! Over these 3 short years I have found many new friends both online and in person. I’ve attended, held, and hosted many events.

101 Natural Hair Tips: Wash Day Hair Tips 21-30
First things first…confession time. As much as I love my hair, I am not a lover of the wash day tango! I’ve heard the argument. ” If you don’t love your washday, maybe you need to change your regemin”. I think there may be some truth to that statement, but in my case I can’t agree.
