If you haven’t figured it out this remix, it is a maxi skirt. Three looks 1 skirt: The first look is full on summer glory, in…

Honey Be Natural : How To Use The Humidity To Increase The Moisture In Your Natural Hair
Summer Time Frizz Is Real I know your probably thinking , how can humidity and natural hair go together? But it can, let me explain. If you are like me, my natural hair is always dry. So, I’m always trying to find ways to add moisture to my natural hair routine. In the summertime a lot of us do protective styles or wash n go styles. Often these styles look great and fit well into the easy breezy laid back summer attitude, but very often our hair is in bad shape at the end of this trip. Your hair is dry…

Why Isn’t My Natural Hair Regimen Working For Me?!!
Why Isn’t My Natural Hair Regimen Working? If you have asked yourself this question chances are you are probably getting frustrated and about to do something really rash! Let me guess either you are checking the ground for a soft spot and you are about to hop off this “Natural Hair Bandwagon” ! Or you are seeing letters the old “BC” big chop? Maybe just maybe you are a little less extreme than most and you are just going to get braids and wait it out? Guess what if you get braids they have to come out sometime. The “BC” will soon grow back. And even if you go back…

Let The Snack Battle Begin
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! No one will admit it but to most Americans, this is a holiday. Just as the CME (people who only go to church on Christmas Mother’s Day & Easter) make it to Sunday service, as does all of America become football fans! We all sit around and watch what is kinda like a modern gladiator war. Don’t get me wrong I was raised by a single Father with brothers and mostly male cousins, so football season was like the “ Holy” season in my house. Yes the Super Bowl was the high holiday! With all the SuperBowl Parties, Football pools, betting, and wagers that will be…

Plus Size Women Take Center Stage! “Watch Out For The Big Girl”one of my favorite club bangers back in the day. I’m from Jersey so you know we do the Club Music.

Top Five Ways To Take The Fuss Out Of Fabulousness
Hey Sistas, well 2014 is coming to a close and we are knocking on the door of 2015. Last New Year’s Day, I made a promise to my family for the year of 2014; I would enjoy my life more and get back to loving me and sharing my wonderfulness with the world. LOL! Little did I know what God had in store for us. At that time, I didn’t know that I would start a blog to share my natural journey, and my struggle finding fashionable affordable plus sized items that fit my style. By the way my style is, I love the high maintenance look but I’m lazy so…

Straight Talk
Hey Curlies, We are going to have some straight talk this time around. Straight hair that is, lol probably not what you’re thinking, huh. Now, I know some of the natural knotzi might tell you that if you manipulate the curl pattern it’s no longer natural, o.k we’ll let them think that. To me as long as you are not chemically relaxing or texturizing your hair, it’s natural. One of the benefits of being natural is having the ability and versatility to go from straightto curly to froed out. Some naturals wear only weave or crochet. That doesn’t make them any less natural than the ones that literally wake up…
