Latasha and daughter Brianna

In today's society everyone have this perception of what true beauty looks like. However, everyone is beautiful in their own unique way! As an elementary student my daughter was ridiculed for being dark skin with the kinky coily hairy. She began to feel that her beauty was inferior to those classmates, passing judgment. Shortly after she wanted to change her appearance to resemble the bullying classmates to become more normal in their eyes. I quickly expressed that she was beautiful and was born to stand out. During this time of her life I was faithful to the relaxer also known as the creamy crack. As a parent I try to protect my children emotionally and physically which is not always possible. I started to ponder on ideas of how I can make my daughter feel beautiful again . I decided to embark on the natural hair journey along with my daughter and did the big chop! She was ecstatic to see I joined the natural hair team and her self esteem increased a great deal. Even though natural hair can be a tedious task we love our kinky coily hair. Let me share some of our favorite hair care methods and products. Eden Bodyworks are our go to products and are very affordable! It's very important to deep condition your hair on a regular basis. Protective and low manipulation styles are the best and will keep your hair healthy however twist outs and washing Go's are my fav!

Kelly and daughter London

I decided to do, the big chop five years ago. Relaxed hair just wasn't working for me. My hair was breaking badly, and I hated relaxers. Perms with lye and no lye, it burned the crap out of my head and thinned my hair out. I knew after having a child, I didn't want that for her hair, because her hair was so soft and curly. I dared to mess with it. It was one of the reasons I wanted to see what my natural texture was like. Although I choose to use a lot of protective styles, I love my soft kinky curls. I love any twist out in my daughter's hair because it is so full and long, even after shrinkage. Our favorite hair products are anything from Shea Moisture line, raw coconut oil, and Cantu coconut curling crème. That is what has worked for us.

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Photos Provided By Nicole Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL. It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was. I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed. Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me. The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies. That was very courteous of them. I wanted to get a little more background of this family. Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family. It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids. They have been cooking for years and
