If you’re like me, you re-twist your hair on Sunday. This weekend, I will finish my hair routine on Saturday because…
I love the super bowl.
While I love the commercials…I also love how it brings people together.

Why do you spend all that time on your hair?
That’s what my husband used to ask me about 6 years ago. I was natural. But I didn’t wear my natural hair. I straightened it as straight as I could. I rolled it every night in curlers. I rarely wore my hair down for fear the dreaded moisture monster would scare my hair into its natural state.
Now I spend about 8 hours retightening my locs every 5 weeks. And he says, “That’s really fast, Terez. You’re getting good at that.”
That might seem ridiculous. However, my white husband appreciates that I am wearing my natural hair. Ethan has been my No. 1 biggest supporter. Although I had a lot of chemical-free bloggers, Internet-based DIY-ers and online naturals to turn to, if I didn’t have him in my corner, I don’t think I could have done this natural hair thing.
When we first got married, he did not understand what I had to do to make my hair look “presentable.” I would not dare go out with freshly washed hair. Ethan would always ask why. I always retorted, “I can’t.” He was the first person to tell me there was nothing wrong with wearing my hair after it was washed. I think that was on our honeymoon.

Around the time of the ball dropping in Times Square I set aside time to review. Review the past year, and develop a plan for the next year.
It seems like 2011 just flew by! For much of it, I feel like I was auto pilot, the details seem blurry. Our multi-tasking, social media, smart phones, tablets, gadgets, tv and whatever distractions from faith, friends and family. In 2012, I want to slow down and be a little more present. I started 2011 by sharing tips to achieve your Resolution.
2011’s Buzz was natural hair’s popularity and come back!!
The number of black women who say they do not use products to chemically relax or straighten their hair jumped to 36% in 2011, up from 26% in 2010, according to a report by Mintel, a consumer spending and market research firm. Sales of relaxer kits dropped by 17% between 2006 and 2011, according to Mintel. [1]
Those who follow natural hair can’t be surprised.
Even Dr. Drew touched on the topic of natural hair!

Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas!
This holiday season, I had the opportunity to meet Donna Deeken, aka The Snow Queen. (You might have also seen her on wife swap a few years ago). Mrs. Deeken is known for her vital role in Miller and Rhodes’ Snow Land (a former Richmond Virginia Department Store). She made sure Santa always knew the children’s name! Her work has made her a local legend.
I didn’t get to fussy over the holidays…
