For about a year now, I have come to once again genuinely love my natural curly hair. No perms, crazy chemicals or products. I dyed my hair a couple of times but nothing harmful. I didn't even blow dry and iron my hair as much as I used to do, which by the way, was a hell of a lot. My best friend, who wears her natural curls all the time, definitely inspired this and helped me tremendously with that little push I needed to truly look into what products work best for my pair and both just loving and rocking my natural curls. 

With all that being said... I'm still finding what works best for me. So far though? What I've been using is working out great. 

Shea Moisture Curling Souffle (Favorite!) 
- I use another Curling Souffle that they have but this one is still great. Both work wonders on my hair. In a short amount of time of using it, my hair already looks and feels the best that it has in years. I either use this product on its own or I'll use it along with one of the curling mousse products that I have. 

Herbal Essence Mousse 
- All around, this is just a great product. Simply put, my hair looks shiny, curls are in tact and the volume is just as it should be! 

Aussie Curling Mousse 
- While my hair isn't as shiny with this one, the volume is great! I definitely make sure to use the Shea Moisture Curling Souffle with this. 

Herbal Essence Intensive Treatment 
- I've found that shampooing my hair a lot leaves it extremely dry so I try not to do it as often but whenever I use the Herbal Essence Intensive Treatment, it's a must to do so. After I shampoo, I use the treatment and condition my hair afterwards. I only use this about two times a week. 

Do any of you girls who wear your hair curly on a daily basis have any advice? I'd love to hear from you!

Dear Bobbi

One half of my ultimate favorite sister duo and fellow Cancer, Tia Mowry, recently posted a picture of a letter she wrote to her self when she was younger... I've read some before from other people for school assignments but I could relate more or less to hers. It immediately got me thinking what the heck would I say to my younger self right now if I could?! It's not really in the form of a letter but who cares right? 

I Hate Mondays?

After a sleepless night, I couldn't help but think to myself how many crazy and negative thoughts I put into my own head. As silly as it may be and sound like, I have always hated Mondays. I mean, hello, we all know that it means going back to reality that is school and work. I immediately just thought  to myself "girl get it together! Make this brand new week as exciting, positive and adventure-filled as you want it to be!" 

What works for me is reading motivational quotes, checking out other blogs and going places all by my lonesome (taking walks around Downtown, going out to eat by myself on the beach or around downtown, etc). These things remind me of my goals, what I have to do to get there and above all reminds me that I can and will get there... I just have to continue to truly believe in myself and put the work in. Any who, I gathered up some websites and videos that help get me out of my funk.

What works for you? Being around others? Talking it out? I'd love to know! 

"You're smart. You're loyal. You're grateful. I appreciate that."

This is the time of the month where everyone is usually giving up on or not following through with the goals set for this year. You know, the usual "no one really goes through with it anyway". Well, I have some goals set and I'm for damn sure not letting anyone get in my way especially me.

Check, Check and... check!

I've been thinking lately how I've become obsessed with planning and organizing as much as possible, when I'm not being lazy at least. Funny enough, a lot of people seem to dread planning much less packing and I have no idea why. I love it!

I thought I'd make your life a little easier when thinking of what to put together. Keep in mind that this is for a short vacation/road trip.

It's on sale for How Much?!

Um, HELLO, if you didn't already know this is the best time to be at the malls and do online shopping (if you're not on a time crunch and want free standard shipping of course). Here's why.
