Humble Pie
There are occasions(many) in our adult life where we do things that offend others. Most of the time, we do it unintentionally. We do it without realizing the consequences and most ignorant of the reactions of our peers. But it happens, more often, to the ones we love the most. All of our actions affect…

Alphabet Over Coffee
Education has always been at the forefront of the family mantra. It’s been a priority ingrained in me since I was a baby, so it was no surprise that when she was born I decided to keep on that mantra and make it a reality. Most parents want to give their children a head start…

Watch “Mommy & Me: Hair Video” on YouTube
So I love making videos with my girl. She is so cute and enhances my beauty in the process. I know it sounds like I’m superficial and I am so don’t judge me. I also love doing her hair. I feel like to bond with her and create an atmosphere that celebrates her individuality and…

Greatest Gift
I went to church today with a reminder that I need to remember what God has done for me. In other words I need to testify. So if you’re ready for a story, sit tight… I had a conversation with God. He allowed to understand certain things. He gave me a chance to open…

Why #nablopomo?
This year I decided to participate in #nablopomo, and this is why… I’m a woman, who just started blogging on a serious tip. I blogged before, but I used my platform as a diary as opposed to an actual blog site. I didn’t know what I was doing then… fast forward 10 years: I still don’t know what I’m…

“Strong BLACK Woman”

#nablopomo: Day 1. Mother’s Fear
This week my daughter had a febrile seizure. What most doctors would classify as a typical and normal neurological behaviour when body temperature skyrocket too fast became 5 mins of hell for me. In a split second, I saw my 18 month old preparing herself to throw a tantrum just lose consciousness and convulse uncontrollably……

How I Winterize My Hair
Winter is coming folks! In a world full of curl-friendly, frizz proof, “natural” based hair products it can be intimidating at first when trying to pick the right product for your hair. Personally, my biggest issue has always been with product usage. Am I using it correctly? Did I use enough of it? Did I…

Tips on How To Get Your Toddler To Sit Still When Doing Her Hair
I love doing my daughter’s hair, which is weird because I hate doing my own. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my hair (with more hate than love), which stems from my childhood. It all started when I was told that I had rough hair. I don’t know what that means. Either way, my…

#cantstopwontstop Woman
In honour of International Day of the Girl Child (which was October 11, 2018), I decided to write this post. I remember when we took her (my daughter) out of the hospital, so full so hope and fear. I know how prejudicial this world can be. So many ideologies, whether cultural or societal, concerning what…
