Background I stumbled upon African black soap (also known as Alata Simena, Anago or Ose Dudu) over six years ago when I started on my natural journey. Back then, I was not subscribing to natural hair; my subscription was limited to topical natural skin care options, namely oils and cleansers for my face and body […]
“Know thyself.” – Socrates Proof versus Possibility Thinking As I get older, and more comfortable with who I am, I have realised that while it is important to acquire and utilise knowledge – quantified, objective facts – to enable sound, decision-making, sometimes knowledge is just not enough.

I went to see KC & the Sunshine Band at Niagara Fallsview Casino this past Friday; boy was I ever treated. (Who knew they had such great, fun hits!) Before I knew it, I found myself acting all fan girlish (bit of a stretch), with me almost missing the coach for my return (they really […]
Please note this natural guar gum hair gel recipe has been recently updated. I tried guar gum hair gel when I first went natural, and though I loved the slip guar gum provided the hair when wet, when my hair dried, I was left with flakes from root to tip. After much trial and error, I […]
In the past, I have been known to leave my house without breakfast (I know, horrible right?), but lately, given I am more conscious about providing usable fuel to my body, breakfast-free days are few and far in between. The following is a great peanut butter and flax cookie recipe. For a heartier meal, crumble on top of plain yogurt […]
