To "Big Chop" or not to?

Image
It's snowing in Cape Town, so windy in Johannesburg and yet I've decided to "chop" that hair from my head and have no regrets at all since then :) How it all started I cut my hair (the first round) on November 2012 because after my two pregnancies my hair became a complete mess: "long, short, medium, kinky, dry, smooth..." I had all those kinds in one head and as it was not enough, my hair colour turned dark brown instead of remaining black. So, I got mad and remove all those mountains and "everests" and gave myself a good ride on equal plains with no valleys hehehe. Hold on! Watch the full video of my big chop by following this link:  "My Big Chop: "Relaxed to Natural Hair" 10 months later My hair later on grew equally and looked healthy but as I couldn't bear the pain when I had to comb the regrowths following the two relaxing phases I had in between, I started thinking it's maybe tim...

J'ai pensé à   cette recette aujourd'hui avec le but de défier tous mes dosages ant é rieurs pour obtenir le goût idéal du fameux "Beignets Haricots" de la zone d'Afrique Centrale, et surtout de chez moi, le Cameroun.

"My Days & me" The story of an intimate relationship

Oh come on, why would close this article so soon? Read it all! You might not be concerned (if you're a man) but this will definitely help all the women around you, I can assure you :) My Days, for Who? This is an Android App for every woman who would like to track her Period and Ovulation. Either you're trying to conceive (TTC) or just would love to finally have the proper idea of what kind of cycle you have, this app is one word: "GREAT" For how long exactly have I been using this? I think it must be more than two years now. I can still remember how I used to mark days on my printed calendar at my bedside and occasionally messing days in my head by often setting the wrong date as a start of Aunt Flow... aahhh such funny memories.  Anyway, the day I discovered this app, I found out that having to calculate (I'm such a dummy in maths) when will my next period start or the days of my ovulation was no more a monthly headache. I had it all fore...
