I Made It To A Year!

Happy 1st Year Natural  Its official, I'm a "Fro Lady"! I know I should have posted this a while ago, but I was buried in nappies and poo and pee everyday :). I'm a blessed woman, mom to another beautiful baby girl. I did the big chop last year with the absolute determination to stop applying any kind of chemicals on my scalp and I'm very happy I made it to more than a year now. At first, I had zero knowledge of how to take care of natural hair, then gradually it happened to be the easiest thing I ever done. How do I care for my new growth? The main products I use are unrefined Shea butter mixed with palm kernel oil which is just like coconut oil. Other stuff I occasionally add are: - Egg yokes - Essential eucalyptus oil - Avocado fruit As food, I would pick carrots and eat them raw, spinach, cucumbers and ... That works for me.  You can do it! What about my routine? My daily routine is to apply shea butter a...

Pregnancy Symptoms: "Heartburn"

Image
Many women get heartburn during pregnancy. Heartburn is a burning feeling in your stomach, sometimes rising up to your throat.  It occurs when the valve between the stomach and the food pipe (esophagus) are unable to prevent the stomach acids from passing back into the esophagus. Pregnancy can increase the frequency of heartburn because the hormone progesterone causes the valve to relax. This allows the stomach acid to pass into the esophagus and irritate the lining. How pregnant women feel about it?  "Pregnancy heartburn is seriously the worst and the STRUGGLE IS TOO REAL",  or "I've eaten too much again for lunch.... I have heartburn ... help! Worst thing about pregnancy has to be the heartburn!" and again "After this pregnancy, I hope I never, ever get heartburn again. EVER!" Even for women who have never experienced it before in their first pregnancy, heartburn may occur for the first time in their next ones while they are pregna...

How to get rid of a "Runny Nose"?

Image
This might be a question worth $1 000 000 if you're also a victim of this disease often referred to as "What on earth have I done to deserve this?!" It's been more than 15 years now that me and my nose are constantly disagreeing on how to cope with: - Dust - Temperature changes  - Moisture - Pollen - House Mites - ... It's said there are two types of allergies: "non allergic and allergic". Guess what? I have them both.  Types of Allergies Wait, let me present the difference to you before we continue: - If you present an aggravating reaction to smoke for example or your nose respond to hormonal changes then you're a mate of "non allergic" buddies, this one being the most difficult to treat - If you constantly have hay fever or rhinitis instead, and react to things such as: latex, chemicals... you're suffering from the "allergic" type of runny nose nuisance. Shame! but don't worry that one, you...

Shop for a soccer boot for nearly 2 hours tutorial

Image
Hello everyone. Today I'm going to share with you a curious and funny experience I had with my hubby at the Adidas store. We left home to shop for goods to finally have him driving to shop for a "soccer boot". He likes sport, especially soccer. Here he is at the shop and as I mentioned in my facebook profile, there are 6 steps to shop for a shoe of that kind from a man perspective: Step 1: Among several shoes on the shelves, find the one that suit your eyes. Step 2: Not so sure of your finding, take a sit and google. Then, go back to the shelves and check the names on the price tag. ...
