14 Day Detox. Day 11. Lifestyle changes plus more!

It has brought on positive changes in my lifestyle. I’m eleven days down, three more to go. This fourteen day detox has done more for me than clean toxins out of my body. It has also brought on positive changes to my lifestyle. I made a conscious effort to  be still during these 14 days. Allow myself time to just breathe, to relax, to rest. To enjoy and embrace working in silence. Allow myself to just be. My routine with the detox was simple. Detox tea in the morning. Herbal capsules in the afternoon. Detox tea in the late afternoon. Eat according…

However she wants to get a second opinion, she wants me to get a biopsy. I couldn’t believe it then…

I started growing my locs in 1999. That is 16 years of trial and error with different products. I have learned over time to keep my loc maintenance routine consistent and simple. Since people approach me often about my locs, I figured posting my routine to my blog would be beneficial to others. When it’s time to wash my locs, my shampoo of choice, is Alaffia Shampoo. It comes in different scents, but my favorite is the coconut lime. It is gluten free, paraben free, and vegan. It is made with virgin coconut oil and shea butter to help keep my locs…

I recently caught up with my dear old friend, Obea Moore. If you don’t know who Obea Moore is, Google him!
