Can't have all work and no play!

So here is an outfit that I recently wore when going out to see my honey ;)

Work look of the day

So, I've decided to post fashion tidbits of myself. This was the work look today. The school year is coming to a close, so there won't be many work pics in the near future. But, I will also post some pics of my outfits when I go out to play :)


Gotta show the shoes too


Pay no mind to the scuffed french manicure, that will be handled momentarily lol

Are certain ingredients really that harmful to hair?

Being a part of the natural hair community and participating in certain natural hair forums, I have noticed that many naturals refuse to use products with ingredients such as mineral oil, lanolin, etc... I understand the concern because some of those ingredients clog pores, and things of that nature, which could impede hair growth or the moisture process. BUT, I was thinking back to my childhood when I was relaxer free... I remember hair products being used such as Blue Magic, Bronner Brothers Super Gro,getting my scalp greased, and my hair thrived. My cousin had extremely long hair and her mom used all of those products as well. We were relaxer free but had products on our scalp and in our hair that are balked at by many today. Even though those products aren't the most natural, they definitely helped keep our hair healthy. So, are those ingredients that bad after all? If they worked for so many years, should the sentiment remain, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
