FINAL KCCM Check-In

Yes, That's right, the final check-in ! The KCCM Castor Oil Challenge is over! Mama I made it ! For some reason I always have problems keeping up with challenges and seeing them through the end, but I did it ! *round of applause* 

Alright, Let's get to the good stuff !

Final Check-in Questions

1. How would you describe your growth from the beginning of the challenge to now? Considering your typical 3 month hair growth -Is this more than average, less than average, or the same?
I would say that my growth is average, but being that I have done two mini trims, there might not be a major difference between week 1 and now. I had a serious problem with split ends and I started this challenge so that I could cut them out and be retaining a little more the regular growth.


2. How did you do last week (week 12)? Did you follow through with your goals? Any challenges thus far?
I've been doing really well on this final stretch. I struggled a little bit in the middle, but I remember you posting how you wanted to see growth so you had to step it up a notch. That's exactly what I did.


3. Final Thoughts, comments, feedback etc.?

I really enjoyed this challenge and I'm proud of myself for seeing it through to the end. I always fall off somewhere in the middle. With this challenge I only fell off with checking here on your blog. I kept it up with mine though. For the most part. Lol.

4. Which JBCO would you like to win – Original, Coconut, or Lavender?

I would love the win the Lavendar or the Coconut. I can't decide because I like the lavendar smell, but love the properties of coconut !

*Note* I need to remember to take photos in the same position! At least I have on the same shirt so you can still see the differences.

Now, I must say I am super proud of my eyebrows ! They have come a long way! The trouble area at the nape of my neck is certainly making progress as well. I am seriously considering signing up for the June Challenge ! I love, love, love the progress that I have seen thus far with my hair.

Have you recently finished a challenge ?

Happy Friday everyone !

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Koils by Nature NNHMD(National Natural Hair Meetup Day) in Northern Va. My update is a little later than most but it will be posted on Monday! I had a great time and I can't wait to share it will you all.

A Slightly Grand Debut

Welcome back weekend !

I hope that you all had a great week! 

Today I debut *cue fanfare* the new Directory page! Yes, you read correctly ! It's finally up and running, go and have a peek !

There are a few links ready for your to peruse til your heart's content! Please note, that the directory page will be frequently updated.

 Whenever you stop by the blog don't forget to spend a few minutes over there, as I plan to have loads of link lovin' !

So, I'm not sure if all of you are aware, but Saturday, May 19th is the National Natural Hair Meet-Up Day (NNHMD). I plan on attending either the one in Richmond or the one in Alexandria, which ever one hasn't sold out yet. Clearly I missed the ball on this one....can we say procrastination ?


Will you be in attendance at NNHMD ? Where will yours be held ?

I'm pretty excited about this, I've missed a couple of meet-ups as of late. If you aren't attending, you can always pretend you're there via the hashtag #nnhmd on Twitter ! ;0)

I hope you all have a great weekend !!

Hello again!

Since I am behind with posting my KCCM Castor Oil Challenge Check-in's, I am going to post more than one at a time.

I hope that's alright with you  ;0)

Well, Happy Monday !

Happy Monday everyone!! !

Before I start, may I just say that Mondays really aren't as bad as everyone says ! Maybe your Monday is crappy because you continuously have that negative thought floating around in your mind.

Please Pardon My Absence!

I'd like to welcome myself back from an unplanned hiatus. I had no idea that with my last blog that I would just take a break from it all. 

Now, that I want to get back into the swing of things, I don't know where to start. Hence this post. I hadn't blogged in so long, I didn't know how to start again. Don't get me wrong, plenty of blog posts have traveled through my pretty little brain and onto my notepad...

If you are by chance wondering why such a long leave of absence, well let me explain that to you. 

You see, this blog has completely rocketed off from what it was supposed to be in the beginning. I had merely wanted to just blog about my business and the steps that I was taking to become a product company. Then I started writing posts on all things hair and it kind of took off from there. I wanted to make sure that this blog growing into what it is now wasn't taking me away from my original goal. Which is my products and my business. For a little while I kind of felt like it did. So I just decided to stop and refocus. On the flip-side I have so many ideas and posts, etc that I just couldn't wait to blog about! 

So, if that's the case then this couldn't be a bad thing... right ? 

Well, that's how I feel now. I think that I while this did lead me astray( in a good and not so good way), I want to keep going, I want to keep blogging. I think that this break has given me a chance to settle down, rethink things and make sure that I am headed in the right direction. 

It's hard trying to balance so many things at one time, but I'm learning. I hope you all will bear with me ! I appreciate it all !
