6 SIMPLE THINGS I STOPPED DOING TO MY NATURAL HAIR

February 19, 2019 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.

February 8, 2019 30 Comments

Hi there,

It’s the end of the week so you can imagine my excitement, I hope you are all doing great. My son has been sick all week so all I have been doing is taking care of two kids who decide to whine at the same time or just scream nonstop. Anyway he managed to attend school today but I do hope they don’t call me that he is feeling unwell again, his fevers are no joke and really get scary. My last post was all about Valentines and some ideas you could do but today it’s all about my love for chicken wings and these dry rubbed garlic and lemon baked chicken wings will definitely hit your craving spot.

Hiya,

It’s been a while since I did a beauty post and with the new year here, It’s time to take care of ourselves and start it right be it health wise or skin-wise.

BLACKBEAN VEGETARIAN BURGERS

December 5, 2018 36 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Happy new month everybody, December is here and I am yet to find where my tree is and when to start all the decorating. Meanwhile, my son has decided to stop eating meat and be a vegetarian, so what does that call for? More recipes and cooking involved which is all good since I do love trying out recipes. This past weekend I decided to make some blackbean vegetarian burgers for him to try out and it was a success. He claims not to like beans but he didn’t even notice that he was having them. If you missed my juicy oven baked turkey burgers post and video do check it out here, and do subscribe to my channel. Here is the recipe for them.
