Lipstick the shade of a badly … More Shark Week Survival Tips Featuring: HeyAnci

Winter is here, and my Quarter Wife is probably mad at me right now because I haven’t started on her booties and beanie. I have been promising to knit them for her since March, and I’m still twiddling my fingers (erm… blame it on the blog? Yes? No? No). I have no one to blame … More Where to Get: Knitting Stuff

There was no way I was not going to include my natural hair in the countdown. For me this was a true journey of learning and self-discovery; it makes sense how it is a natural hair journey. For me, it wasn’t just knowing that hard mashona and mufushwa hair can actually be taken care of … More Favourite Thing #10: Natural Hair
Shea butter and coconut oil seem to be the holy-grail products nowadays. They’re so hot right now. They’re in every hair product, it doesn’t matter if the hair is natural or relaxed.
