Mira’s Curly Hair: book review
If you know me, you’ll know I love to talk all thing hair, especially curly hair. In my family, we have four different textures. My daughter wonders why her hair isn’t like mine. She’s got looser curls (more like waves) than mine. She and I could totally...

I’m a fan of Boucleme haircare. It was probably the first hair care brand I used where all the products worked for me. My curls weren’t weighed down. The curl definition, elasticity and shine were perfection. I’ve used most of their products, including their...
As I Am Long and Luxe Growash: review
I first tried As I Am a few years ago, when I picked it the Coconut Cowash at a natural hair product exchange. My curls loved the product. There was enough slip to detangle in the bath, and moisturizing enough to make my curls ping. Since then, I’ve tried other...

Two years ago, Vallie was starting her second year nursery (winter baby issue) and I gave her the talk about making friends. After her first year she was still shy and found it tricky to make a firm friend. Then one day she came home with several little...
Mane Diva’s Sea Heart
It’s been several years since I’ve used Rhassoul clay in block form as a hair treatment. One of my favourite conditioners contains Rhassoul clay, but its a soft creamy mixture. I was intrigued by the new product of Mane Divas had created, Sea Hearts. When I trialled...
