Why I'm doing everything the natural way!

Shea moisture,Castor Oil, Curl enhancing smoothie, Dr. Bronner's soap,Turmeric and lime mask, Activated charcoal scrub and Milk of magnesia


Growing up like majority of other young people I didn't care much about eating healthy or using natural products. I haven't taken a pill in over a year and have opted to do everything naturally. I only use natural products on my skin and hair . My skin care and natural products I purchase from Earth Elements located at Shop#3A Savannah Plaza,35-41 Constant Spring Road.
When it comes to deodorant I use either Arm & Hammer Baking Soda deodorant or I use milk of magnesia under my arm. I haven't used an Antiperspirant  in years due to its link to breast cancer in women. I will not sit here and claim to have it all together because I still struggle with healthy eating habits on a daily basis but I continue to make an effort to do things healthier.

I've suffered with really bad anemia for many years which results in me being tired easily and having a really low blood count. Having had really bad reactions to my iron medicine and pills over the years I opted for the natural alternative. I now use beetroot to help with my anemia and I've seen  changes in my energy levels for the better





Beetroot and carrot juice


Like many other females I usually resorted to pills to get me through my menstrual cramps on a monthly basis. I relied on these pills completely until the blessed day my mother introduced me to the healing powers of turmeric and I've never looked back. I simply grate the turmeric that can be purchased from any market, boil it, strain it and add some almond milk or any other sweetener of your preference.  I guarantee that no matter how painful your cramps may be this remedy works like a charm! I also haven't used sugar to mix my tea for years as I use honey for all my sweetening needs.

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...

Feeding the minds of future queens with 'The Curly Hair Club'

Growing up, I enjoyed getting books as gifts. Reading was something that my mother took seriously. I could read exceptionally well before I even began infant school, due to my mother's teachings. I loved skipping through the pages of beautiful children's book, but even at that young age, I noticed that something was missing. I wasn't in these books. I didn't see faces that looked like mine, I didn't see hair that looked like mine. I said to myself then, that one day I would write a book that I could see myself in. Little did I know, but one day this would indeed be a reality. I'm all grown up now and this book is now a reality for little girls of colour to skip through and see themselves in. I want this book to give them a space to realize that they don't need to change who they are and that they should love and appreciate their beautiful dark skin and the beautiful crown on their heads. It starts with the youngest members of the Kingdom. If the...
