Honest Chocolate Girl -- The First Blog

You ever wonder how life chooses you? Crazy thought, isn't it. But seriously, who really is in charge of this process. When I was younger I used to believe we were like the Sims (the EA Sports computer game) and someone from another planet was controlling our every move. The idea seemed logical at the time until I grew up.

I will attempt complete honesty on this blog. Life experiences will be real of course, but just like millions of others, life for me hasn't always been the sweetest. I have many ugly, gruesome "What Not To Do" life stories to share.  Hell, even as I write this now I am pondering ways to maneuver through an unnecessary fuck-up that I caused! It's all good though. I take every day for what it is: just a day. My lifestyle won't allow me to sit down so staying on my toes lightly describes the way I live.

I always get weird when I reference my life. I'm torn about sharing. Apart of me wants to bear all details in hopes to save another chocolate girl, like myself, from total mental destruction. The other part is a vault, only letting me, myself, and I in and out. So here we go; the first blog. I have no idea what I am doing or what is to become of this. Stay tuned I'll keep you entertained..

Texture ID...ENTIRE Line - Honest Review

I literally just want to dive right into this review and I will try my absolute hardest to not be long-winded (lol). I had the honor to try the entire Texture ID product line by Sally Beauty. I won them through a giveaway my homie/hair product-plug was hosting. The entire Texture ID line is made with four essential ingredients ( honey, aloe vera, protein, and nutrient rich oils) that are supposed to lock in moisture as well as provide intense definition. Listed below are each of the products from the Texture ID line as well as my initial thoughts. I will also let you know if I recommend the product or not and why I do (or don't recommend lol). Let's get into it.... Texture ID: Curl Clarifying Shampoo  - Rating: 6/10 The shampoo is very light almost too light for my hair, but it lathers well. I love the scent; it's not too heavy but it is also very light almost like a dryer sheet cotton-like scent. The product claims to not strip your hair of natural oils, b...

You CAN Overcome Heat Damage... Here's how

The title seems misleading, but it's true; you CAN overcome heat damage! But it will not happen overnight. Contrary to belief, there is no overnight hair product or oil that will magically fix your damaged hair. Before I dive into anything, let me give you a rundown of my heat damage experience. Go back to October 2017 for a second. It was a beautiful fall day in Atlanta. For whatever reason, I got the sudden urge to straighten my natural hair.A wig was not enough for me anymore. I just took my extra long twists out and I wanted to try something I haven't done in a while...... This was my first mistake. Later that day I began to prep for my straightening. I pulled out some old and I mean OLD heat protectant spray and spritzed it all over my hair. I can't remember the brand, however I do remember is it was in a green bottle, with an orange spray top. As I gathered my tools, I realized I had two really old flat irons tucked away in my beauty closet. I was excited about ...

You gotta dig

I am indirectly--directly starting my 2018 in September. I think it is more than fair to say the last eight months have been a bust for me. I have missed so many deadlines and goals--I can't keep up. Something in me knew I would have a late start this year, but I didn't know this late. But It's fine guys--I'm not throwing a pity party. Honestly, the only thing I know how to do is keep going. I just needed to humble myself and my life is doing that now. Either way I am grateful. All these lessons I am learning shapes me; makes become more of a boss. On a lighter note. I have some reviews coming out SOON on a few BLACK OWNED natural hair care products! I'm stupid excited because I get to put my social media marketing skills to the test.  This natural world can open a lot of doors if you remain AUTHENTICALLY you. Restarting my natural hair journey for me has been a helluva ride. I found myself finding myself through this entire process and it's really amazing...
