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!  :-)
