[Recap] Holiday Mixer at Carol's Daughter

Last night Jess, Crystal and I went out to Virginia for the Holiday Mixer at Carol's Daughter. The event was put together by Marques Davis Productions and included fashion, beauty, and hair care information and giveaways.

Guest Speaker at Howard University for T.A.N.G.L.E.S

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to be a Guest Speaker at the T.A.N.G.L.E.S. "Natural Hair Journey: Where Do I Go From Here?" event [HERE]. If you've never heard of T.A.N.G.L.E.S., it is a Natural Hair student organization started at Howard University and T.A.N.G.L.E.S. stands for "Transitioners and Naturals, Growing, Learning and Educating Students".

Co-Hosting The Nappturalite Radio Show!

I hope you all tuned into Nappturalite Radio last night because if you did, you would have heard me Co-Hosting the show with Dawn! This was my third appearance on the show and definitely one of my favorites.

[Recap] Natural Connection Meetup By Zarah Charm

This past weekend I was in Baltimore for The Natural Connection Meetup hosted by Natural Hair Stylist Zarah Charm.

The meetup was held at Na'klectic Salon and as soon as I walked it I felt welcomed. There were refreshments, door prizes, swag bags, friendly people and an overall great atmosphere...not to mention fly natural hair styles!

[Recap] 2nd Annual DMV Natural Hair Meetup

This year's 2nd Annual DMV Meetup hosted by The Mane Definition

was AMAZING and even better than last year's! Over 80 beautiful women (and a few men) came to Busboys & Poets in DC to meet new friends, learn & share natural hair tips, and enjoy great (healthy) food!

[Recap] Return of the Curls: Taming the Beast

This past week in Richmond, VA one of the best Natural Hair events that I've ever been to took place, Return of the Curls: Taming the Beast! I say this was one of the best events because there was constantly something to do or learn, whether it was attending a workshop, watching live demonstrations, or meeting vendors & retail owners the day was fun and exciting!

[Recap] Happy Nappy Day

Despite the rain and cloudy day, I did get a chance to make it to Nappy Nappy Day in Baltimore, MD. I think the rain scared a lot of people away or maybe I was just late because there was just a light crowd amongst a sea of products and accessories.

[RECAP] 2012 Baltimore Natural Hair Expo

I had an AMAZING time at the Baltimore Natural Hair Expo! I met a lot of great vendors & stylists and a few of my CurlyNuGrowth supporters came up to me and said "Hi!"; it was great!

Check out some of the pictures I snapped at the event and also a few video clips!

[Recap] NuGrowth Meetup @ OyinHandmade & XS

The meetup today was amazing, to say the least! The diversity of women that came out to the event was truly wonderful. There were women transitioning to natural hair, women with Sisterlocks, loose natural hair, and even someone that just did the big chop a week ago! In addition to the stunning women in attendance, the venues were really nice!

I didn't even know about this event until the day of, but I am sooo glad I got the chance to attend! Nadira of Adiva Naturals referred me to this event from the Embracing Your Beauty Natural Hair Extravaganza after we chatted for a few about Locs and natural hair care.

I woke up early to get to the Embracing Your Beauty Natural Hair Extravaganza by the 11 AM start time because the organizers announced they'd be giving away goodie bags to the first 100 attendees! And guess what? I snagged one!

After getting my goody bag, I met up with SouthernGryl, a fellow naturalista & member of my NuGrowth Meetups group. She was rocking the must beautiful flower in the back of her Bantu Knot out and everyone was amazed by it, even me!

Last weekend, I attended the Koils By Nature's "Natural is Not a Fad" event with Alex of TheGoodHairBlog and our friend Dee.

I had a great time, even though we arrived for only the last hour and a half, it was well worth it! We were able to see and meet the models from the Fashion Show, which rocked the most beautiful Loc styles and fashions!

We ended up arriving at about 4:30 PM, unbeknownst to us that the event started at 3:00 PM, so we were a tad bit late lol, but that didn't stop the fun. In fact, I think getting there after everyone had cleared out was best!
