I Decided To Become A Site Plumber.
Posted in Just MeFrom the title of the post you may be wondering what crazy exciting things are happening in my life. Well none at the moment, I just decided that after much thought I need to re-brand myself. Essentially I needed to plumb out some of the kinks in my site. I started off this site as Kinkyhairchick with the hope of spreading natural and healthful information to my readers.
However, I feel that the domain name that I chose for myself in the beginning is actually confusing my followers more so than I thought It would. Because when people come to my site they think it is only about hair when that is what it is least about.
I blog about natural living, natural health, organic beauty products and natural mothering along with showing my natural hair journey.
I am so sorry if I have confused any up until now.…
About this Post:Back To The Start: Awesome Chipotle Ad!
Posted in EnviormentI saw this back to the start chipotle ad on tv the other week and had to share it here. The pure simplicity of the video is catching and make you think a lot about a lot of things. Then they added Willie Nelson to the mix with his ear catching rendition of the song. So put it all together it was a perfect combination. Chipotle is a company that prides itself on great food, natural farming techniques and all around giving back to the environment.
Kudo’s to Chipotle for taking a great step in bringing more awareness to our current food system, by showing us how we can still eat great with causing harm to the animals or the agriculture.
Living simple is what is all about, taking just little steps will go a long way in the overall scheme of things.
Would love to know your thought on …

Green Smoothie Recipes For Beginners: Detox
Posted in Green SmoothiesAs part of my detox Challenge I have been eating really clean healthy foods in attempt to cleanse my body of all the gunk. Usually about every two days I make a green smoothie and everyday I will make sure to eat a salad with dark leafy greens.

My Fave Shea Butter Recipe.
Posted in Natural Beauty RecipesRecently I did a video to show you how I make one of my favorite Shea butter recipes. I use a variety of different types of Shea butters and can honestly say that I love the now solutions brand of Shea butter. It is a white Shea butter with a creamy light texture to it. It is easy to mix with other ingredients as you see fit and once on your hair it leaves a light airy feeling to your hair. Allowing your hair to breathe and not feel weighed down.

19 Months Natural
Posted in Natural Hair SpotlightI decided to finally do a video of my growth progress for my natural hair. Doing a whole bunch of length check videos is not something I am really into as you can see from the date of the last time I did a length check. Your hair will grow, it’s best just to leave it alone and let it run its course. Something that I am learning more and more each day.
My hair loves to just be left alone, and I love to leave it alone.
We’ll check out the video below and let me know what you think.
