A few weeks ago, I went visiting relatives. We were offered a meal which we accepted and I proceeded to eat what I considered really tasty stew with some rice. It wasn’t until after I had finished eating that I was told that there was no oil used in the making of the stew. That …
Around this time (end of a quarter) I would usually be bringing you news of the next NITC. Source Unfortunately, rather than sharing pictures of venues and details of the upcoming event with you, I have to come on here to say that we (Screwy Hair Girl, Sherese and I) have decided to postpone the …
Writing the post on Lice Infestation made me remember an experience I had while in Junior Secondary School. It was traumatic and I thought I would share it in case there is anyone I can save from such a treatment. While in Junior Secondary School 2, I found that I had lice infestation in my …
It is time for children to go back to school and it just occurred to me that I can kill two birds with a stone by discussing lice. It will be a good segue from the last post – remember that scary picture of the louse holding tight to a strand of hair? It will …
I have heard several people complain that there are way too many rules for gaining and maintaining healthy hair. Don’t use ‘cones, don’t use heat, don’t use sulfate shampoos, don’t comb your hair without conditioner in it, don’t touch your hair and dance to a song (you caught me, I just threw that in there. …
At the NITC3, a lady asked if I knew of threading styles that are actually wearable. Styles that one can wear to work or out to the store without people thinking that you’ve just stepped out of a 1960s time machine. I love the wonderful results that threading gives my hair and I do not …

Folks are constantly asking to see videos from the meet ups. I don’t have a lot of footage, but I will share what I have. I am starting with our Compere – Chigo (not to be confused with Chigurl). She’s funny but there is more to being a compere than being funny. She helps us …
Healthy snacking. An oxymoron perhaps? When I decided to watch what went in my mouth, I found that one of the most challenging things was finding a healthy snack. Thrown in was the fact that I was advised to get a lot of fibre into my diet. So began my search for a healthy snack …
