Relationships: Do you want honest on the side or straight up?

Good Morning DivaBaby Fam!

After hearing much dicussion rgarding this topic, I have become convinced that women don't want the truth. Ok, I know, I know! Some of you are getting mad, but folllow me on this. Women say that they want their husband or an that thier dating to be honest with them but as soon as he has an opinion that varies from ours---we go on the "attack". It reminds me of the moviw "When Harry Meet Sally", remember how Meg Ryan's character always ordered everything on the side? I think that how most women want everything---"On the Side". Any thoughts???

Doing A Micro Twist on natural hair

Hi DivaBab!y FAM,

I found a video of how to do micro twist on your hair.  She does not include the products that she uses because most of them are not "natural" in nature but I did find this video helpful (since I fairly new to doing my own hair).  Enjoy!!

1st Twist Out!

Hi DavaBaby! Fam,

I did my very 1st twist out today and it took me about two hours and another hour to dry. I believe my hair needs at lleast another 30 minutes to dry (some area were wet). I do like the hair style! I don't want to leave my twist in for a few days until my hair gets a tad bit longer. So for now, I will rock the twist out for about a week and I will do another one. I used KCCC for the twist out (w/the knot today as a detangler first). Last evening I washed my hair with the KC Come Clean shampoo and I used MJ Rapid Recovery as a deep conditioner. I used the Baggy method and left the conditioner in my hair all night (used a plastic cap, silk scarf, and my satin bonnet). I use the Baggy method to help my scalp retain moisture. It works for me. I'll post some pics after I do my next twist out. Peace.

Hair Woes!!

Hi DivaBaby! Fam,

I am getting so confused with all the natural hair products?!?!  I have been natural since August 18, 2009 and I love it but I am really confused about what products work best on my hair.  I am currently using Kinky Curly products and I am going Hairveda products soon.  I have been researching different products and visiting blogs (watching tons of videos on YouTube).  Confusion is my middle name!  I guess I have to keep doing what works for me.  I going to attempt some twist next time I wash my hair (pray for me). I will be adding some pictures soon and I might even get up the nerve to start my own YouTube vblog :-) 

Happy Hair Journey & Enjoy the holidays!

Take care & Be Blessed,

The Traditions of Christmas

Hello DivaBaby! Fam,

Last evening I watched a few TV shows that explored the traditions of Christmas.  Christmas is often a time of "perfection" (i. e. going from store to store buying  the "perfect" gifts, baking the "perfect "cookies, finding the "perfect" tree/decorating it, mailing the "perfect" holiday greeting cards, rsvping to the the "right" holiday parties, etc.  Is it the perfection that we remember or the imperfections? 

I can remember a Christmas, when I was a pre-teen and my dad and I watched National Lampoon's Vacation; we must have taken too long cause my mom started crying because we were not participating in her idea of a "perfect" Christmas.  My moms actions made that particular Christmas more memorable than any before, thus creating a Christmas tradition that we tease her about to this day.  May be we just all need to lighten up a bit around the holidays and focus on enjoy being together and not so much on the idea of having the "perfect" Christmas.  Besides, "perfection" becomes mundane, shake up the holidays a bit!!!  Just a thought!  :-)

Have a safe & Happy holiday season!

The Return from Paris!!

Hi DivaBaby! Fam!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the holiday season.  I haven't been blogging for a couple of months, in order, to prepare for our trip to Paris.  In one word, WOW!  I have never experienced anything like this.  Seeing the beauty of the buildings, the people---being submerged in the culture felt almost like a privilege.  Words cannot do justice to Paris.  My husband and I took over 800 hundred photos and I wanted to just include a few that will give you a brief decription of what we saw.  I will truly say that I love Paris and a piece of my soul was left there.  Enjoy the pics!  :-)
