I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Product of the week: Bentonite clay & Apple cider vinegar

This weeks product  is a personal favorite, like many of my natural products this combo can be used for multiply purpose. I am happy to admit most of my staples were discovered when I first became natural. Bentonite clay is created for skin benefits particularly the face.  As a face mask, it cleanses, softens, gets rid of pores, acne and any other skin issues you may have. I recieved a tip that it works well for the hair and scalp and waisted no time try to it,  and to my surprise its worked wonders!

Kinky hair is prone to dryness because our hair shafts tend to be lift, what the ACV does is close those shafts. You can see the difference in your hair after you rinse; hair is shiny, curls are naturally defined and cleansed. I also use ACV as a rinse to tame frizz. Remember to use raw unfiltered ACV to get the best results. When used as a mask the consistency should be like yogurts do not be scared when clay starts to harden, it desolves once it comes in contact with water. You will feel when it is time to rinse the clay out because hair will be stiff.

Raw unfiltered ACV has many health benefits, a tablespoon daily before a meal  will burn fat, detoxify, and cleanses your system. You will start to see a difference in your skin in a matter of weeks.  ACV also  remove; stains, bacteria, and germs. 

What I admired the most about being a newbie was my curiosity to try new things, with that I found great products that I can see myself using for years to come. Taking risks is not only exciting , its is fun! See what bentonite clay & acv can do for you!

  1. I've heard/read a lot of reviews on the Bentonite Clay. After I take my protective style out I'll most definitely try the ACV/clay mixture!
