  • It's Valentine's Day. For some of us, this means candy, flowers, gifts, maybe a dinner out. For others, it means sadness, loneliness, and even jealousy. _______________________ You might be single and wondering when or if it will ever be "your turn." You may be married and wondering when or if your spouse will ever get it. _______________________ In the meantime, there is one person that you have control over, and that is you. You know who knows exactly what kind of candy you like? Or that you don't really care for flowers but would love a new book? Who knows that you dislike the commercialism of this holiday but you'd love to receive a handwritten note? Or that you want the works - candy, flowers, jewelry, and all? You. ________________________ You know yourself best. Take care of yourself. Do for yourself whatever it is you're wishing for. Whatever has crossed your mind to do for yourself one day, with respect to your means of course. Yes, that includes writing yourself that letter, telling yourself "I love you" or "you're beautiful." ________________________ This isn't to perpetuate the idea that you don't need a man or no one will ever do for you. Having a fulfilling relationship is a wonderful thing and a worthy aspiration, but so is getting good at loving you. ❤️ #happyvalentinesdaytome
  • In honor of Black History Month, I've been researching traditional hairstyles. _________________________ This photo was taken in Gold Coast, which is now Ghana, around the beginning of the 20th century. _________________________ Talk about a #rollandtuck 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #blackhairstorymonth #blackhistorymonth2019
  • It's been a long time since I've featured any of the beautiful natural sisters I've come across on Instagram. Changing that today after seeing this super juicy texturrific puff. 😍🙌🏽 📷: @_____adj
  • When you have short hair, it might seem at first that you don't have a lot of styling options - but you do! Headbands, hats, and wraps are just a few of the ways you can style #shortnaturalhair 💁🏾‍♀️ Link in bio or visit naturallyyoumag.com/27twastyles . 📷: @cynthykayobi . . . . . . . #bigchop #transitioning2natural #twa #minifro #miniafro #type4hair #4chair #4chairblogger #type4 #4chairchicks #4chairstyles #4cnaturalhair #4ctexture #shortnaturalhairstyles #twastyles #naturalhairblog #naturalchix #kinkychicks #naturalhairdoescare #howtonaturalhair #respectmyhair #naturalista #naturalhairchat #naturalhairloves #naturalhaircare #naturalhairblogger #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairrocks #naturalhairstyles
  • Puffs look so regal to me. 👑 I miss the one that I wore all the time when my hair was shorter (my hair just flops over now). I tried to emulate my old fave with a roll and tuck/cinnabun this weekend. ___________________ We are often striving for longer hair and that can be ok, but if your hair is longer, what do you miss about your shorter hair? #prosandconsineverything
  • I recently stumbled across my old friend the body brush (this one is from @thebodyshop) a couple weeks ago and decided to start dry brushing again. _________________ My skin, especially my legs, gets impressively dry as soon as the weather gets cold ☃☃☃ and I thought they could use a bit of extra help. _________________ Benefits of dry brushing: 1️⃣ exfoliates the skin 2️⃣ improves circulation 3️⃣ softens hyper pigmentation 4️⃣ smoothes rough patches 5️⃣ all sorts of other things you can find on Google that aren't necessarily scientifically proven _________________ I love this technique because it takes literally two minutes before jumping in the shower and my legs are noticeably smoother within a few days. Brush in long light strokes toward your heart. Always start gently and monitor how your skin reacts, especially if you have sensitive skin. _________________ Have you tried dry brushing? How did you like it (or not)? Do you do anything else special for your skin in the winter? Please share your tips.
  • Did you recently #bigchop? We want to hear from you! Whether you are natural and loving it or just want to hide, we want to hear your story. DM or email for details.
  • I almost never do twists this small anymore but I decided to go for it this time since we had a long road trip planned. Car time is one of the few times this mom's arms are free for long enough to accomplish this feat! My roots are wonderfully fuzzy from doing a scalp massage with a few drops of tea trea and lavender in water. _______________________ I was long overdue for a trim ✂️ so I used the opportunity to trim my hair using @fromato4z's method of using my thumb to measure. I chopped off two thumbs worth 😅 which amounted to about two inches all around. I cut more off around my hairline which has been especially challenged since it fell out due to postpartum shedding. _______________________ It feels good to be mostly rid of my raggedy ends. Next step is a protein treatment. I'll do another trim in January.
