Nat — The Curly CEO

Since I did my Big Chop, my mom has been inspired with my new regime in how I take care of my hair. She no longer straightens her hair every week like we both used to, and rather work with what God gave her.  She has mastered the Braid Out and it is her only "go-to" method. Every night, she uses a moisturizer, like SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, and single braids her hair. In the morning, she takes it down and throws on a headband. This is what she feels comfortable with and is an easy style for her everyday.  In order to help her with her process and hopefully jumpstart her growth, I gave her a trial bottle of The Mane Choice vitamins - Manetabolism (if in Canada, go here to purchase . I have just finished my first bottle and turning into a believer due to my amazing results, I wanted my mom to try it. Also, because she's in her 50's, she's experiencing thinner hair, but I feel this is also a result of all the relaxer treatments and stress on the ...

A quick and easy 5 step process that takes you little to no time in the morning to refresh your curls :) Watch this SUPER SHORT short vid below on how I refresh to get my curls to shine again! Steps: 1. Rustle up hair to get it out of that "flat" stage 2. Spritz hair with water (I put a little Glycerin in my bottle to preserve the water from being stale.. Also works as a humectant!) 3. Massage an oil into your scalp for stimulation of hair growth (personally I believe Castor Oil is the best oil for your scalp) 4. Put a hair lotion/milk all throughout your hair for moisture (I love SheaMoisture products so I always use their Curl & Hibiscus Hair Milk. Smells great and keeps hair really moisturized) 5. Seal hair and ends with any oil of your choice (I flip between Moroccan Oil and Coconut Oil)

Did my 2nd #braidout! And I love it WAY better fluffed/separated than defined! Check out this video on this look :)

Great colour, matte, but doesn't stay.

I don't usually blog about restaurants but...

I have really been wanting a facial sauna for quite some time now. I often have trouble with random pop ups of pimples on my face. All throughout being a child my mom said "you're getting pimples because of pop/chips/chocolate" etc. Although that may be VERY true, I have surely cut down in my recent years and I still get the odd pimple. Most of the time I'll get it on my cheek (right cheek specifically lol, odd I know), then around and on my nose. I have done my efforts of going from washing in the morning to now using a facial scrubber (Olay Fresh that vibrates and you don't have to change the attachment.. I love it) and also taking a baby wipe to my fave before bed. Although I don't wear THAT much makeup (I stopped wearing foundation and now just rely on a touch-up concealer and my trusty bronzer), I heard leaving makeup on your face before bed is a good culprit of acne. While looking at what to spend my RBC Points on, I stumbled across this little R...
