Big Chop

Check out this video I made about the big chop. It answers questions like how long to transition, who should do your cut, and styles you can do.

Brrr...Broke!

So I'm broke and I've been looking at some options for cute things to wear at bargain prices.

I stumbled across lx3lally's videos and she has a lot cute ideas. One of her recent videos is about Winter Fashion Ideas. So if your broke like me, or just want to look at some cute outfits for the winter check her out on YouTube!

Yummy and Healthy!

I had a wonderful lunch on Sunday :)

If you have a Pepperjax in your city you should definitely try their rice bowls. Since I am going vegetarian I love the fact the Pepperjax has such a filling vegetarian rice bowl.

You can choose what you want to be included in your bowl, black beans, jalopenos, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, pinto beans, your choice of sauces and cheeses...it's just wonderful!

Another great place to get a quick bite to eat is Taco Bueno. I love their black bean burritos. Their good size, stuffed with rice, black beans, tomatoes, and onion. I also like to eat them with their chunky salsa and cheese nachos.

So I thought I'd share my healthy fast food options! Try them they are delicious!

Corinne Bailey Rae--Natural Inspiration!

I love Corinne Bailey Rae's music, style, but especially her hair. I've been called her look-a-like, people thought her picture was me when I posted it as my profile picture on facebook. I was surprised how much her hair has grown since I last saw pictures of her. The short curly look has blossomed into a beautiful mane! I hope I will get to that length one day.

Check out her new album "The Sea"!

"Good Hair"...My thoughts

Spoiler Alert! Don't read past the first paragraph if you haven't watched the movie yet. :P



I just watched Chris Rock's "Good Hair" movie Saturday, and I had mixed feelings. I appreciated that he showed the harmfulness of the ingredients of relaxers and the ridiculous amounts of money women are willing to spend on weave.



I found out some things I didn't know. I had no idea that the "100% human hair" was coming from Hindu temples in India when women would get shaved bald as part of a sacrifice. I thought it was very sad that these women had no idea their hair was being sold for thousands of dollars to women who don't realize they could grow their own. The Bronners' hair show and battles were ridiculous, and it made me upset that these people could get $20,000 for that mess.
Tracie Thoms-- (interviewes in "Good Hair")

I liked that a few naturals were able to be interviewed, but I don't think we heard enough from them. I wished there was more discussion about how "coarse" hair actually is manageable and can be very healthy and long.

I applaud Chris Rock for researching and putting this movie out there.
