ABOUT ME

I am a married mother of 3 beautiful, blessed children, who I enjoy spending quality time with.

I currently am a stay-at-home mom. So you know I have to find something to enjoy in my spare time for myself.  I love to read inspiring novels and books that are informative, as well as good resources for the mind and spirit.

I feel like this world doesn't exist by material things. It's a lot of people out there who are more materialistic than being themselves and just going with the flow.  That includes meeting new people and enjoying conversation, which I enjoy doing.

I just love to help people the best way I can.  I don't do it for recognition, I do it because it's apart of me.  If  I was rich, I would help as much people/organizations that I can for the less fortunate.  I always be aware that someone is going through worse situations than myself.  That's why I know that throughout all my struggles and triumphs I have been through, I AM BLESSED!

I strive for higher education, because it's one of the most important accomplishments to achieve in life.  It's not for anyone else, but for yourself.  You are the one that's going to benefit in the long-term.  I plan on going back to college to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Office Administration/ Management. It's never too late!

I have been through a lot of negative experiences and dealt with people, including family members who perpetrated like they cared about me.  They tried to bring me down in so many ways, mentally and emotionally, that I would get more into in my future postings.

I decided to take that negative and I turned it into a positive to benefit me, or else they would have won the WAR.  I knew that graduating from high school and college, I will be able to take care of myself. I'd be able to move away from these negative people that was in my circle at the time as quick as possible.

I am just the type of woman who tries to be genuinely honest on every level, not FAKE.  I believe it takes too much energy to be phony and not be yourself.

My new liking, at this moment, that I want to continue is Blogging.  I really enjoy it, because of the people I meet in the same situations/circumstances. Just meeting new people from all walks of life. I am still learning as I go along and will continue to learn as long as I live. I take good/positive advise as they come along, just no  Negativity, Please. My senses are receptive to the POSITIVE in things!

My inspiration is also my children, who taught me more patience about everything in life. One thing I know for sure is that, if you acquire patience, you will be able to get through any adversity or setback. I try to put GOD first before anything and everything, because there is always a Higher Power to determine any outcome. Just hold on to that comforting word of, FAITH, and all will prevail.  GOD has Blessed me beyond my understanding, not saying I don't deserve it, because everyone does.

The reason for me writing this blog, first off, is I know it will inspire others out there going through negative situations and maybe want to get out of it. In turn that helps me even more, because I know I am receiving a reception. That's one option that I would like to accomplish.

May God Bless you all!

Natural Hair Moms and Their Child (Children) on Circle of Moms

Finally posting and starting my Natural journey

Today is Monday the first "real" day of the week to start being productive in the world. I woke my son up this morning to take him to school. At this time in my life I am looking for a real job to become a more productive citizen and to feel more independent.

Getting to the real point, I am typing at my computer starting my hair journey, and along the way, I will get to know myself better as I go along. Right now, it is 10:44 pm and about 10 minutes ago I put about a Tbsp of "Nourish Spa", from Trader Joes, mixed with my Castor oil/Coconut oil concoction and also "Ultimate Herbal Oil" into my dry hair to pre-poo over night. I've done this before, but not on a consistent basis to see the outcome. But from what I was reading on other Natural sister websites, it works with hair growth and retaining moisture to obtain more length for the hair.

First off I should tell how I became natural and why I made that decision. I first became natural in 2000 when I transitioned to dreadlocks from having a perm in my hair since I was 15 years old. I believe up until I was 23. It was in a time in my life where I've experienced more situations met new people and it was enlightening the knowledge and wisdom that I acquired. It's like when you become older and venture out on your own and you become, eventually, who you really are. I was on that journey and the information about our pasts and our history and the people of influence that made us who we are today, I just became one of those proud people who wasn't afraid to stand up and accept and be happy with where I came from and and who my ancestors are and to just be proud of that. I felt strongly that I didn't need or like "extra", which means additions that other people thing they may need to become who they want to be. I became more happy with my "natural" hair, my "natural" completion, my natural me.

Locs and Natural Hair  on Circle of Moms

I wore dreads from the time of 23 years old up until I was 29 years old. It grew to the middle of my back and was getting very heavy. I loved my dreads, because it was easy to maintain. Just to re-twist the hair when needed. I learned how to take care of my hair as I went along in the years. I thought I was doing the best I can, because it grew so long. We learn something new everyday. I cut my dreads off, stayed natural for like a month or two and decided to put a texturizer in my hair. It was going okay for several months. I was washing and conditioning it like every other day. Didn't really now too much about pre-poo, co-wash and deep conditioning and how important incorporating these routines in your hair regimen would be until I decided to put a perm in my hair in January of this year. Two months later, my hair started to break in the back middle of my head. Then it just started to fall out. I told myself I have to cut my hair off and never put anymore chemicals in my hair again, because I didn't need it. My hair was so used to being natural for all those years I had dreadlocks.

I did the BIG CHOP in June of this year. Ever since then, I have been gaining knowledge about maintaining natural African American hair from going on different websites and blogs. My very first informative site that I went to was motowngirl.com. Know that gave me more that enough starter information and inspiration to maintain a healthy head of natural hair. I love it, I love it, I love it. I have now acquired maybe like 1 1/2 inches of new growth from having a "ceaser" cut.

I just recently found out about maintaining the proper moisture/protein balance. It requires eating the proper diet, which is top priority. Try to take a multivitamin daily. Exercising, I recently found out helps as well. I am washing and deep conditioning weekly. Yesterday, I realized that I can twist my hair into little miniature twists, not two strand twist, but just enough to catch to twist the hair. I was real happy, because 2 months ago I was almost completely bald from the BIG CHOP. I will just continue my weekly and daily routine of maintenance and I will continue to see results. I just can't wait for my hair to reach a length when I could put it in puffs and Wash and Go's. I am wanting to stay all natural with the hair products also, because of all the Sulfates, Cones, and other nasty and toxic ingredients that just doesn't help in the long run, but does the opposite. Instead of moisturizing and replenishing the hair and deep within, it steals moisture and has ingredients that prevent the hair from acquiring moisture by blocking the pores in the scalp from receiving it. So when products are put in your hair, the hair doesn't except it. The product will just sit on top of the hair.
