Nzuri Natural Hair Festival 2013

The holiday season is here and it's time almost time for Nzuri Festival! For the past three years, I have participated in this awesome event. Whether it was as a volunteer or taking part in the Bloggerspere, I have always had a blast and received education on proper hair care, the best products, and a multitude of information relating to all things hair, health, and beauty. This year will, undoubtedly, be equally great.

My Break is Almost Over

School, children and every other imaginable obstacle have all kept me away from my love of writing. Now that I've had a couple weeks to relax, I am excited to start fresh and continue encouraging any and everyone who can gain useful knowledge through my words. Thank you for your support!

New Year, Natural Beauty

 Beauty Defined

Beauty  [byoo-tee] : the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).

 

I first met aspiring model and high school freshman, Bianca at an event given by Naturally Happy Hair. I saw her photos posted on Instagram by Paula of Houston's premier natural hair care shop, Tendrils and Curls prior to our meeting.  A lovely young lady with a beautiful spirit, Bianca exudes beauty wherever she goes. Not only is she easy on the eyes with her natural head full of curly hair, she's intelligent and at 14 she already knows the road she wants to take into her future.  

 

We all define beauty in our own way.  Whether you look at beauty in a person's outward appearance or if it is one's inner qualities that determine your definition of the word.  I see beauty from the inside out. It is our differences that make each of us beautiful and unique.

 

 In the past few years I have run across so many young girls who choose to use their words to discourage each other rather than lift each other up. My daughter has been the subjected to the "mean girls" many times.  I think it is important that we teach our children from the beginning, especially our girls, to embrace all they are and all they have. We must help them to understand that anyone who chooses to belittle them has issues of their own.  It has been a long struggle getting my daughter to accept herself for the beauty she is, but finally at seventeen she has grown to love her dark skin, her naturally curly hair and that big ol' booty (courtesy of yours truly).
