Today, I’m on my 2nd set of locs after locing from 2001-2013, enjoying a few months of long loose hair and returning to locs soon afterwards… It sounds silly but there are some things I’m learning *now* that I didn’t realise/appreciate during my 1st set of locs, even after all those years… In this journey, …
If you have been following my facebook page, you probably know that I have returned to locs now – After a glorious Summer of releasing and loving my loose hair last year, the time to loc came much sooner than I (or anyone I know) expected lol! No doubt, the main reason for releasing my …
After last year’s post on taking down my locs, I’ve had quite a few questions about the loc take-down process and how to prepare for it. Loc take-downs are usually the process of combing out locs after they have matured… and this could mean that your hair has been loced for years! But it can be …
I am a BIG fan of using crystals to energize my life – I have them in most places I work or live in and wear them. I also think in this busy hectic society, crystals can be used to ground us when we are rushing around and juggling our lives. More than ever, …
I always said I would be honest to my readers about my experiences with natural hair… and my first week after 12 years of locing and returning to loose hair was a toughie lol🙂 I looked up this transition stage online and realised that there are SO many forms of transitioning in natural hair… not …
It was time… that’s how I can sum it all up in a few words! I had slowly been getting urges from 2012 – and for those of you who have been following the energy of the Universe lately, it was very strong for change! It became even stronger when I watched as many of …
This is a double-sided topic for me because I’ve met people who have trimmed their locs almost religiously every month/6 months/year/etc and swear by it for making their locs look healthy… Then I know a few locers who have never touched a pair of scissors in their whole loc life and still have locs that …
Locing is a beautiful experience… I learned SO many lessons on the way, especially patience lol! And when I chose to freeform, I knew this would be the easiest and right option for me. My journey has been interesting – check out my pics throughout the locing stages here! I have had many questions over …
For as long as I can remember, I have been brushing my locs using a soft bristle brush. I have to do this at least every other day and after a washing session. I do get a lot of practical questions on this topic so I thought it was about time that I posted some …
Well let’s see if this advert says otherwise… SO cute and it’s about time it showed on the mainstream TV… Love Your Curls! Continue reading
I live in London… I get many questions about what life is like here! Especially as a person of color, this city is fantastic for meeting people from all over the world and sharing life experiences. I love to support positive projects for the Black community here, and came across this one… Have a look … Continue reading
We have all been there at one point or another… and even after all these years, I need to remind my Self that simple quick tips in a routine make all the difference. I’m talking about dry locs… Or as I like to say: Bringing back life to my plants! lol🙂 OK, that didn’t sound … Continue reading
One thing that really struck me, especially now that I am at the end of my yoga teacher training, is that there is not enough diversity in the yoga material out there. It kinda doesn’t make sense when it’s supposed to be a wholesome practise of acceptance and diversity to begin with! So it makes … Continue reading
I was in the kitchen recently, making some homemade cashew nut butter – when I realised that it has been just over 10 years that I decided to become vegetarian. Since then, I’ve been a vegan and tried being a raw foodist. Time flies! And in that time, I get a lot of questions from … Continue reading
