ABC - Another BAD Creation by @LovingYourHair

Can you say pretty? I can and it is pronounced Teyonah Parris. Last night at the Mad Men Season 7 premier party, Teyonah Parris looked gorgeous from head to toe. Her hair was in a fabulous updo by Felicia Leatherwood, aka @lovingyourhair on Instagram. Felicia described it as combination of "puff twist meets curls with a kriss cross...

Today's Hair - 4/3

This is me pretty much in real time...My hair is in two wet flat-twists right now. I washed and conditioned my hair, oiled it, use various leave-ins and am trying Karen's Body Beautiful as my sealant. But I'm trying to decide what to do next. Should I let my hair dry like this and do a big twist-out for tomorrow, or think of this as...

Fitness Post: Abtastic April!

I'm in a monthly workout challenge group. Last month the challenge was push-ups. I started with 21 on March 1st and ended up doing 51 on March 31st. I didn't skip any days, and I didn't cheat. It felt great, and the best feeling was the day that I did 40 push-ups in a row without stopping. ME! I did that....This month's challenge, if...

Hair Inspiration - Flexirod Set by Aevin Dugas

 I love drop curls whether you use flexirods, rollers or curl formers. I just  rarely think to do them because in my head they take a long time and I don't think they hold on loose natural hair (but I did feature them as a style in my book, One Hairstyle, Thirty-one Ways available on Amazon.com)...and the photo above proves...

Smoothie Love: Springtime Strawberry

I make smoothies almost every day, and I've forced some of my co-workers into being a tasting committee. Actually I don't have to force them because we now have a game where they try to guess the ingredients for each smoothie - and they get free, albeit tiny, smoothies almost every day. Lately I've been having them give me...
