My shorter hair has forced me to change my morning curl routine a bit. This length is a no bun zone and in all honesty that can be tricky.
So with the new “All Afro all the Time” look I needed a plan for the morning.
The water crisis and the fact that I have to get ready at 6am in what seems to be the coldest May in years made it essential for my curl routine to be waterless.
You may have noticed that I like to #sharethebay. Meaning I like to show off the city in blog posts and social media…I’m proudly NMB and the #ECMeetup proves that there is much to be proud of.
Since day one, when Lu and I decided to give this blogger meetup thing a go, we have been embraced and supported by the city. She talks about our day one homies (nope I am definitely not street enough to make that work) over on her blog today. Meanwhile, I want to chat about the new guys…
Do you know about love languages? I learn’t about it years ago and found it interesting. It’s basically five ways to express and experience love, I have found it handy in my personal relationship like I know my dad likes words of affirmation while my mom prefers acts of service.
However I didn’t realise love languages relate to kids until a certain Ben 10 figurine came into our lives.
You guys know that I’ve been going green for a while now…instead of just giving up all my worldly possessions and living off the land I’ve been trying to make a few life changes (like Aidan’s party) and just live greener you know. Like the difference between refusing a drinking straw in a restaurant VS only drinking water from streams using my hands (kidding not-kidding).
I decided that I would share some of the ways I’ve (we) have been trying to live more consciously , starting with these old school methods.
I’ve been using the AfroBotanics Makeda Twist, Curl & Define Cream recently and thought I’d share my views on the product.
I divided my opinion into Good, Bad and Meh, and as always I’m very honest, but can only really base it on my own hair type, texture and length.
I was asked to review the Clicks Made 4 Baby Pants and I was rather surprised as my son is five and has this toilet thing pegged. However he was not the one they had in mind, they were curious about how the nappy pants would work with the busiest and tiniest member of our family Liam.
They sent two bags and I thought score now I can do a mini panel review.
