To my surprise, I was nominated for a Liebster Award!!! I accept, I DO ACCEPT!!!  Way to go girl!!! Nice job, keep up the good work! But wait......just what is a Liebster Award? This is an award that is passed from blogger to blogger in order to help readers – like yourselves – find new blogs to follow! 

I believe I'm all of the above and more. Since Koils-n-Kinks was graciously chosen for as a recipient, I must do my duty and thank Kay of Nappy Headed Black Girl.I've come across the Liebster badge of honor on some of the blogs I've perused, but never looked into it to see what it was about.  This is a first for me and I feel very honored, I will display the badge with pride!! Here are the rules that I found, but there are different versions out there.


These are the rules and questions provided by Kay, who nominated me.
Here are the award rules:

  • Create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer
So, here we go....

1. Describe your natural hair journey in one sentence.
Boldly following my hearts desire and holding nothing back but gaining confidence, love, and rediscovery of self with no regrets.

 2. What was the last place you vacationed and where is (or would you like to be) the next?
I went to Michigan to attend a family reunion, far from a vacation. I would like to go to a tropical isle somewhere in the near future........a girl can dream can't she?!

 3. Why did you start blogging?
I wanted to keep an accurate "diary" of my journey to healthy, long, natural hair and provide helpful tips to others who were struggling along the way. I first started a healthy relaxed hair journey and hit a huge pitfall while wearing a protective style. 

4. Name one celeb you’d love to meet in person.
Oh gosh, I'm really not into the celebrity thing, but I guess I'd like to meet Erika Badu or India Arie. They seem like down to earth, real people that I could converse with.

5. Are you where you thought you’d be 5 years ago?
Yes, because I didn't set any goals for myself educationally or professionally.

6. Amazon or eBay?
Both, I prefer online shopping and re-purposing items that have been used. #thriftygal

7. Do you feel like your hair routine is perfected or are you still learning?
Omg, definitly still learning. Right now I'm on my water only journey, and I honeslty like it the best of all.

8. What past or present TV character are you?
Maybe Vanessa, from the Cosby show, Lol!

9. What’s the last movie you saw?
Just watched the Fantastic 4 (2015) last night. Had I answered these earlier it would have been Yelling to the Sky, which I watched before I watched the Fantastic 4. 

10. The world ends tomorrow morning. What do you do tonight?
Rob a bank, spend every last cent, love a stranger, hug my parents, kiss my kids goodnight and tell them I love them.

Whew! That was hard! Some other versions of the rules are out there, but I'm following the lead of my nominator.

 I have 10 questions for:
  1.  What compelled you to start a blog?
  2.  Where do you see yourself in 2 years?
  3.  If you could blog full time, would you?
  4.  If you could retire right now, what would you do?
  5.  If you could only keep 5 of your possessions, what would they be?
  6.  What is a skill you'd like to learn and why?
  7.  What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
  8.  What did you do for your last birthday?
  9.  How many text messages do you send/receive in a day?
  10.  What is your current relationship status?
Hope to read some great responses and see that you ladies paid it forward to some other bloggers.

Let's keep it rollin'.

Hey! Sorry for the delay, your Liebster response is AWESOME! Loved it! I am such a nerd too, nobody in my family is like me, so they have no clue about blogs, natural journeys and such. I am currently working on a site for my daughters softball team, hey free to play if I do it, I'm all in!! Anyhow, Yelling to the Sky was good TO ME. You may enjoy it, I feel like we are kinda on the same frequency, like I said, my family isn't into the same things as myself. I watched it alone and enjoyed it alone. I've been told I'm a different kind of black girl so...........

5 Perfect Styles for Every Natural

Let's face it ladies, as naturals, I feel that we are expected to show that we are "doing something" with our hair. We can't can just walk around all fro-y and puffy, but that would  mean we aren't taking the utmost care of our manes. I mean...really, who(#mefor1) would want to walk around like that? Big bushy fro's have absolute  no  sex appeal (I really miss mine) #beenremovinglocs4-2weeks. These styles are nothing new to the natural world, but this is how my hair looked when I was on the water only method. I never really stopped, but I wasn't rinsing much since I was trying to let my hair loc up. One day I'll post my braidlock story. As for now, check out the shine and definition I achieved while styling without product.                                                                                                                                      Puffs N Ponies   Updo's       Like many n

Water Only Washing......Beyond 30 days

After a warm/cold rinse More than a year ago, I decided to for go using traditional shampoos and conditioners. I started whipping up my own hair products with some success, but nothing to brag about. Now I always have an assortment of butters, oils and essential oils, not to mention aloe vera, distilled water and honey. My bathroom cabinets look more like a pastry kitchen than a place to do your business! I wasn't exactly losing any hair and checking out new hair recipes was my quiet, me time.  Through mostly browsing  the web I happened upon the water only method after trying the max hydration method (MHM) for about a month. Though I liked some of the results I was getting with MHM, it didn't have the simplicity that I was looking for. I was basically looking to do nothing to my hair, but I still needed to look presentable #sistagotaJOB, so I found the simplest method for WOHW from an article on BGLH . I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before. Not sh
