B'ham Naturals.... Its Time!

The 4th annual Natural Hair & Health Expo 2015 is coming! Birmingham is the place to be Saturday March 28th. This event produced by Visions Beauty Distributors and sponsored by Design Essentials is a must for the ladies of Alabama. Last year I had a fabulous time getting tips, meeting celebrities, laughing with curl friends and shopping the unique vendors. ( Last year's re-cap click here) 2015's expo line-up of guests and classes makes this years' event a must attend.

Local personality, Ebony Steele (KISS FM), will host the event that will have Cynthia Bailey (model/reality star) , Traci Braxton (recording artist), Malinda Williams(actress) and Mushiya Tshikuka (The Damn Salon/Reality Star) on the main stage for the Sister 2 Sister Women's Empowerment Panel. The magazine's publisher, Jamie Foster Brown, will be the moderator of a conversation that engulfs the audience as they hold no punches discussing life, love and success.

This year blogger and friend, Valecia Williams, will be covering the event... she will be live tweeting and recapping all the fun. Make sure you follow her on twitter (@MrsValUable) and say hello at the expo. One of my favs Kinky Curly Beauty will be teaching a class "Natural Hair Educational" .... she is the Queen of Updos and Natural Hair Care in Birmingham. Guest blogger, Valecia, had the pleasure of being styled by the diva and she was simply impressed. (Check out her pics here)

Embracing a New Chapter: Adventures of a New Grandmother at 50!

As the winds of change blow through my life, I find myself standing at the threshold of a thrilling new chapter: grandmotherhood! Yes, you read that right—I recently celebrated my 50th birthday, and to add an extra sprinkle of joy, my youngest son and his partner are expecting their first child. Cue the confetti and baby giggles! It's been over two decades since I last cradled a newborn in my arms, and the prospect of becoming a grandmother fills me with an indescribable mix of excitement, nostalgia, and a touch of apprehension. While I'm overjoyed at the prospect of cuddling a little bundle of joy again, there's no denying that navigating this new role comes with its own set of challenges and adventures. Balancing the excitement of impending grandmotherhood with the reality of supporting my adult children through this life-changing journey is a delicate dance. From offering sage advice and sharing in their joy to resisting the urge to overwhelm them with too much "h...

Embracing Grace: A Journey to Natural Gray Hair

As the wind blows, so too does the passage of time, marking the transitions in our lives. One such transition that many individuals face is the emergence of gray hair. It's a journey that goes beyond just the physical changes; it's a journey of self-acceptance, confidence, and embracing the natural beauty that comes with age.

We share a Curl story- Jessicurl Review

Frofashionweek was an awesome event that gave me an opportunity to meet someone I didn't expect to impress me. It was the owner and creator of Jessicurl , Jessica McGuinty. I had seen advertisements in the past via email (curlmart) for Jessicurls but I dismissed it as not a product for a "kinky" curly lady like myself. I had no desire to try the product until I meet her. Jessica was unveiling the new packaging for the product line at the event and she shared her experience of a love/hate relationship with her curls that I could relate to. This wasn't a speech from a CEO to sell products it was a conversation with another sister that shared our story. I was excited to try the products but I was still sceptical of a white lady with curls producing a product that could help this black lady with curls. During the event I received a package of samples that I am using for this review. I washed, conditioned, deep conditioned and styled my hair ...
