I've been thinking about going natural but haven't made a decision yet. The last relaxer I had was in May of 2010. I've been wearing Senegalese twists up until last Friday. I made the mistake of washing my hair without sectioning it off and it got crazy matted (thought I was going to have to shave it all off for a second). With a lot of conditioner ( Read more... )

make-up question

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good foundation that comes in shades dark enough for African-American skin?

Hello! I'm going to Africa for 2 years with the Peace Corps after graduation. I was hoping for a braids 101. I haven't had my hair in braids for 8 years, and when I had them in I really had no idea what was going on (all in the mom department). My hair has been relaxed all these years. Quite honestly, I want my hair to be the least of my worries ( Read more... )

Well I get compliments on my skin quite often. I am very proud of it :) Here I thought I'd share some tips on how I keep my face looking nice :). I would say blemish free, but I often get Cysts on my chin under the skin that hurt really bad ><
