The importance of good hair practices cannot be overemphasized on the journey to healthy, vibrant and thick head of hair. However, to achieve a stress free routine every time you touch your hair, the following tools will prove helpful.  1. Wide tooth comb : We all are familiar with the importance of combs but then the type of comb used matters too. It is more helpful if your comb is specially designed to treat your hair gently. That is the reason why the wide tooth comb is best. Be sure to choose one that wouldn't snap at your strands. 2. Spray bottle : Any naturalista without a spray bottle is not yet a complete naturalista . Moisture is an important component for hair and it is always good when you desire to spritz some water or conditoner into your curls. 3. Denman brush : I have found this to be more friendly to my curls than a comb. It simply glides through while evenly distributing products for better results.  4. Satin scarf/Bonnet : When going to...

Nearly every woman on this planet has some sort of insecurities.  It differs from person to person and it comes in varying degrees.  Every human is made a little bit incomplete so that we would not feel superior to others around us. The positive side is that if we view it in the right light, it helps us to be humble. While I was growing up, I thought my lips were too pink and wide and I hated to look into my own pictures.  I strongly convinced myself that I was ugly and unattractive and no one would want to be with me. This terrible thought made me feel awkward around people. I hardly spoke when I'm out of the house. I would never join a discussion except I'm mandated to talk. I felt in addition to being ugly I was dumb.  Recently too, I have been somewhat inhibited in my desire to become a natural hair blogger because I have some setbacks around my edges. I have spent a lot of money on products, I have researched about it and still very little improveme...

I learnt to wash my hair  the wrong way  while growing up and that made me experience dryness and breakage. I used the wrong kind of conditioners too. They only stayed in my hair for a minute or so before I hurriedly washed them all off. It was a bad experience while it lasted.  Fast forward to when I started to unlearn the wrongs and embrace the right techniques, I understood the importance of using the right products each time I touched my hair.  My first deep conditioner was a mixture of egg, onion, and maybe coconut oil. I tried while alone in the house that day and babes, I never tried it again. My reason, the constituents stuck in my hair and I had a hard time removing them. Don't get me wrong, DIY products work well for many people but I didn't just get it right with deep conditioning. The egg and onion stuck to my hair and I had a horrible stench afterwards. I didn't try that again. EVER! Next one christmas, I tried using bananas. There was no blen...

Wisdom is the principal thing... In all thy getting get understanding. A Prudent wife is from the LORD (Prov 19:24) Let me tell you about a PRUDENT WOMAN How to tell when you find one She is not an easy catch Not to be found at every corner Her elegance is without competition The blue in her eyes never grows dimmer Never will she raise her voice in anger Her emotions don't get the better of her Her smile gives the star its light She will surely take your breathe away She is not a lazy woman Her strong hands are put to use The products of her work are kept in a palace Always willing to go the extra mile To give a touch of perfection Whatsoever hands do, she does it well Her people surround her with such confidence Watching to find a man worthy of her audience The Prince pictures her for his kingdom Her charm can melt the heart of any monarch How would he find her he wonders!! That indeed is no mean task, He shudders!! Just like gold she has to be min...

Have you achieved all your set goals for the year? Are you beginning to feel pressured because you are not close? If your answers are negative, this is definitely for you. Everyday, we find people who are unhappy and frustrated. They feel like that they are being placed under a heavy load. The load is so heavy that some just get crushed beyond recognition. They lose shape, moral, motivation and enthusiasm. They seem to be under some kind of pressure. Lets take a look at the different things that could make us feel under pressure. 1. I'M YET TO BE MARRIED AND I'M NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP!! Ladies are mostly guilty of this. They begin to feel uneasy when many of their friends hook up and get engaged or married. They begin to put pressure on men around them who seem to be interested in them. This is one sure way to chase men away. They will run as fast as their legs will carry them because, who wants to be with a desperate lady? Even if you are 35 years old, digni...

A cuisine is a type of dish that is made with special ingredients following special techniques and is enjoyed by people indigenous to that place. This article explains that some the same traditional cuisine can be enjoyed by different people from the same locality who prepare the same meal in different ways even from family to family.  In essence it is very possible to enjoy a meal just the way Mother alone makes it. Sounds familiar right?? One very familiar example is the Egusi soup common to Nigeria.  It is enjoyed by many tribes although the method of preparation is slightly different from one region to the other. This soup can revive a dead soul... Just the sight of it can remind a son about Mother's kitchen.  It's aroma will send ripples into the very DNA of a long lost child making him try once again to trace his roots. That reminds us of the Prodigal Son 😊 . Some enjoy Egusi soup with pounded yam, others are fine with Eba or Fufu ( Loiloi )...
