Oh, hey there! I just wanted to pop on here and give you a little hair update. If you’ve been following me on social media, you would’ve noticed that I now unapologetically and proudly rock my natural grey hair. Away with the dye Since the very first lockdown in 2020, I’ve decided to stop dyeing my hair. The plan was to stop dyeing my hair at the end of 2020 but since we couldn’t get to the shops for a while, I decided to just start the transisitoning process right then and there.

I’m here, I’ve always been here. I just wasn’t saying anything. Sorry for leaving you hanging though. It wasn’t my intention. I’m really sorry. I’ve been thinking about this space alot lately. I wasn’t really sure what I want to do with this space or if I should shut it down completely. And because I couldn’t decide, I just didn’t say anything. The thing is, I used to love sharing about my kids (mommy blogger) and also sharing what I know about natural hair (hair blogger) but my natural hair journey is so much more than product reviews and the kids are growing up and never want to “pose” for p ..read more
