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…

Don’t Fall Off – 10 Ways To Stop Your Hair From Falling Off
When the season changes people tend to get lax with the routines that keep them looking good in the warmer months, just because you get to cover up that doesn’t mean you have to fall off.

Even when you put them on and take them off, believe it or not they are rubbing and snagging your hair causing increased dryness, shedding and unnecessary hair pulling. We all love to wear fashionable hats and scarves to stay warm and look cute, but the…

That Blessed oil, My ride or dry!
Hey Phatty, I know we’re always getting flooded with the next “try this” product, and most of our closets or dressers are filled with so many things that we never use. Or even worse, products that we hate! Don’t get me wrong there are truly great products out there, but sometimes we over-look the items that we already have right in our very own kitchens! But why would we automatically think to check our cupboards for hair products? I can remember getting yelled at for over using something that was intended for food. I can’t imagine telling the adults that I needed some olive oil for my hair lol. But…

Just me!! MrsPhatandNaptural!!
MrsPhatandNaptural was born out of my frustration in trying to find a dress for a friend’s wedding. The search was endlessly frustrating. I felt as if there were limited options for plus size women. Most options weren’t even flattering, and even fewer were fashionably up to date. I was so discouraged by the process that I ended up not going to the wedding. Everything I found made me feel older, bigger, or out of fashion. No matter how hard I searched, I could not find anything to fit my style in enough time for the wedding. Of course, I felt bad because this was a special day for someone I…
