Shea Moisture Products, Now At Walmart!

October 18, 2013 in Multicultural Lifestyle, Natural Hair - 1 Comment

In the 7 years of my natural hair journey, I have found that less is more. Less products, less ingredients, less in price.… Read More »

Home Spa: 6 Ingredient Face Scrub

April 23, 2013 in Primp - 3 Comments

I'm lost with face scrub. When I run out of my favorite... St. Ives Apricot, I get grumpy. When I'm without the grainy goodness, I feel as though my face isn't truly clean and that's gross. Spring is a time I like to focus on all things homemade and when I ran out of face… Read More »

June 15, 2012 in Homemaking - 1 Comment

It's been a month since we've upgraded the rest of our warmer, soft white CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs scattered around to daylight CFL bulbs. I am relieved to have that project out of the way - thanks GE! I was seriously becoming annoyed with the different temperatures of lighting around the house. I have… Read More »
