Just a blog dedicated to my natural journey.

Said I wanted to be more crafty in 2020. Decided to start with hand lettering. Found some free practice sheets online, bought some #tombow pens, and got to working! Here’s my first project— a visual reminder of the #miraclemorning SAVERS routine. Not bad for a beginner. I’m proud of myself! 👏🏿👩🏿‍🎨 . . . #handlettering crafts #art #artisselfcare #selfcare #selfcareforsurvival #selfcareeveryday #selfcareaintselfish #selfcareforsuccess #selfcareforsanity #health #wellness #healthiswealth #mindfulness #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/B64NcV3F4n0/?igshid=1u1kgeipk9nll

2019 was an excellent year for hair. I started (and ended) the year straight, transitioned from fall brown to bright orange to shocking pink hair, grew out a fierce cut (that I kinda want back), did my first protective style, and was cute in between. Here’s to hair growth, more deep conditioning sessions and trying new styles and colors! Happy NYE! 🥳🥳🥳 . . . #curlsidoadore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything https://www.instagram.com/p/B6va6y9FTxQ/?igshid=11cq1rhsl3fow

On my summer bucket list was my goal to install my own protective style. After numerous YouTube videos, tips from friends, and the patience of a saint, I’ve got myself a set of passion twists!!! Not bad for my first time, if I do say so myself 😌 Not sure if I’d ever do them again though.... it took me forever is an understatement 😂😂 . . . #curlsidoadore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything #blowout #protectivestyle #passiontwists #rubberbandmethod #rubberbandmethodpassiontwist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MK-OAlxgb/?igshid=1t3zh2f6z11k2

What do you do with your hair when you know you’re going to be away for 8 days and don’t wanna pack your whole stash of hair products? Mini-twists!!! This protective style was so versatile. Four days of twists, two days of headwraps, and two days of a twist-out. Styles for days! 💁🏿‍♀️🌀 . . . #curlsidoadore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #twists #twistout #headwrap #headwraps kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MUKO8Fe3T/?igshid=mpg9uh0ico0d

It’s officially summer and ya girl is BACK! This style is brought to you by the lovely and awesome @plumdandy using the new Paul Mitchell’s Lavender and Tea Tree line for curly hair. She used the Moisture Milk and the Curl Refresh Foam. I 💕 the day one volume it gave, but it definitely frizzes over time— which honestly I don’t mind during the summer. How are you wearing your hair this summer? . . . #curlsidoadore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything (at Studio 7 The Salon and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBG4nClF-a/?igshid=12ntb3r947am0

As I walked into my classroom this morning, I breathe a huge sigh of relief and gratitude. This year, I finally made my way back to the English classroom and it was a fabulously amazing year. We sifted through issues of social justice in literature, engaged in poetry from different walks of life, and discussed how what we read is not only good for our understanding of the world, but our understanding of ourselves. The road has not always been easy, kind or fun, but I am thankful for the lessons both learned and taught. Even though #selfcaresummer is still 6 school days away, cheers to this school year!! #thankfulthursday (at Roland Park Elementary/Middle) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqNyC4lsWx/?igshid=r1ds5y51d3xg

#latergram Last week’s wash day required some extra TLC due to my hair feeling extra dry from protective styling and color treatments. Thank goodness I had some goodies from @creamandcoco @cremeofnature @naturallyunitedcurls_ and @ecoslay. My curls felt super hydrated, soft, and defined. 🌀💁🏿‍♀️ #curlsidoadore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #washngo #kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNfKONliz7/?igshid=1rhqp0qu7v6g7

I hardly ever get a chance to get out on a Sunday and have some fun! Went to the Farmer’s Market and then had brunch with two of my favorite girls! Fried Oysters and Grits, Risotto Cake Benedict, and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes washed down with coffee and Pineapple Jalapeño mimosas. It was quite tasty, if I do say so myself! #foodie #foodismylovelanguage #greateats #baltimore #yummy #delicioso (at Spoons Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7wGahFxla/?igshid=1izvbrow93tdq

I know it’s been a while, but your girl is back! Yesterday, I finally got my passion twists. It took some serious research to find someone who was reasonably priced, didn’t take all day and, I could fit into my crazy busy schedule. I am IN LOVE with this style 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I found a stylist on IG, @Bella fontai_beauty who truly was a gem. $160, hair included, and only 3.5 hours to style. This might be my summer protective style. . . . #curlsidoadore #passiontwists #passiontwist #passiontwistbaltimore #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #naturalsistas #naturalhairdivas #naturalhairdoescare #naturalhaircare #curlfriends #curlyhair #curls #curlbox #curlkit #myhaircrush #trialsntresses #afro #fro #kinkychicks #kinkycurly #kinkycurlycoily #curlygirl #blackgirlmagic #naturalista #coilyhair #coilygirl #coily #ilovemyhair #allnaturaleverything https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnNxa4lRNW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ncqkqzt7ng9

I wish y’all could’ve gone with me to experience this luxury. 48 hours of pure rest and relaxation was just what the doctor order. Can’t wait to go back next year. 🧖🏿‍♀️🧖🏿‍♀️🧖🏿‍♀️ . . . #selfcare #selfcareforsurvival #selfcareaintselfish #selfcareeveryday #selfcareforsuccess #selfcareforsanity #health #wellness (at The Lodge at Woodloch -- A Destination Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcPLibFwt9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tyhev237snnd

Last month, I dedicated my time and energy to posting daily affirmations. They helped me to see the beauty in the process while allowing me to focus my energy on the positive. To keep that energy going, I’ve decided to show gratitude daily. Imagine the power you will gain just by doing this simple task. Today I am grateful for: 1. A good night’s rest 2. A bomb wash n go 3. A cozy sweatshirt What are you thankful for today? #meditationmonday #mentalmonday #mantramonday #selfcare #selfcareforsurvival #selfcareaintselfish #selfcareforsuccess #selfcareforsanity #health #wellness #healthiswealth #mindfulness #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtZe9AlQtD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bsa6hd2zzom1
