New protective hairstyles! For the natural haired black girl

I'm all for something new at all times. if you follow me on any social network you know I absolutely love to switch it up! When it comes to hair I'm a daredevil :) I'm willing to give most styles a try I'm debating on what style I want next...out of these three which one you think I should pick?

Nail health news

Idk about y'all but I've made a commitment to having healthy nails I might dabble in a little nail enhancement now and then but for the majority of the year, I try to maintain them by taking care of them for long term overall health.  Here's some tips I'd like to share to share with those who feel that way too.

* skip water manicures and try soaking Nails in hot oil or warm hand cream to keep strong nails

* condition nails nightly with almond, jojoba or olive oil

*coat nails with a base and top coat to lock the color and protect Nails

Those are just a few I'll be sharing more real soon!

My first lady....Mrs. Michelle Obama first lady of style

She is the epitome of style and class, Mrs. Obama,I can say,is setting a wonderful example of poise and grace not only for her two daughters, but for the world! In yesterday's inauguration she never seems to fail with perfect color choices, fit and style she knows what works best for her and she definitely knows how to pull it off with a "swag" like no other! Lol but on the real, she has changed the game without having to spend racks my first lady wears J.crew and gap and I respect her for staying grounded despite her family's status. I truly admire her. I wanna be like Michelle Obama when I grow up!

Skin care junkie facial day :collagen essence mask

Every since I attended school for esthetics I've taken a whole new love and approach to how I care for my skin! I love trying new things to improve my complexion in anyway. I just ran across some collagen essence masks not only do they soothe your skin, they also firm and moisturize. I'm definitely adding them to my regimine twice a week for all of those benefits I mentioned. I really enjoy being girlie when it comes to this type of thing. It makes me feel fancy. I love it.

Freedom

I feel a freedom like no other when I rock my natural mane. I get so many compliments! I'm the type of girl who would try anything once when it comes to hair I've rocked locs to bald head...name it I've tried it but I somehow seem to drift back to my natural coif for some reason I find strength and pride when I wear my big hair I absolutely love the freedom and versatility I get when I release my fro to the elements (which is rare) but today for some reason I decided today that I would take my braids down and let my mane just breathe....the sun always seems to release and convinces me to be free...
