Hey darlings and Happy Workout Wednesday

I was so hesitant  to post certain pictures of myself. I was worried of what others will say or think but today I woke up and said to myself "you've come a freaking long way and the opinion of others shall be the least of my problem." I want to give you all the real deal.  The real me, no gimmicks!  This is raw and uncut!    This right here is my biggest insecurity.  I have been struggling with  loose skin and stretch marks around my abdomen ever since giving birth to Titan (my second born).   I was ready to throw in the towel and go under the knife but my husband stopped me. He asked me a series of questions, one being "Do you think you've given yourself a fair chance?" I was confused by what he meant but he shortly explained what he meant.

Products were the hardest to find since there wasn't a lot out there at the time. Natural shea butter & I rocked it out for a while. Shea was the only thing that understood my hair. Now that there is hundreds of products out there I try to give all a

Two weekends ago, I had the opportunity to be apart of the JIRANO'S Multi ethnic hair care line photo and informercial shoot. I had a great time with such an amazing group of people.    Behind the scene      The brand JIRANO was created by sisters Jane and Jedi. These two African beauties completely understand the diversity in hair. "ME" [multi ethnic] has been created specifically for natural hair individuals. The products have been made with some top ingredients ; coconut, keratin, honey just to name a few. Their philosophy is to put as many active natural ingredients into the products as possible for beautiful hair right away, everyday. Check out www.jirano.com for this upcoming hair line.
