[New Music]: Jay-Z - Glory

So we've all been wondering if the rumors were true; if Beyonce has finally delivered her and Jay-Z's first child. Welp, Mr. Carter himself has given us all confirmation that their daughter Blue Ivy Carter has made her debut.

His just released 'Glory' is an ode to the new Carter. You can even hear her little newborn cries as the song fades out. It's so sweet, I must admit I teared up a lil! Check it out:

Congrats to Bey and Hov! I'm so happy for them [=

[Product Review] Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Creme

"Defines curls, waves, and coils; moisturizes and conditions; no sticky build-up"

Hey loves! I just uploaded a product review on the Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Creme. Check it out:





As promised, I set out and did some research on the Taliah Waajid brand. According to Black Earth Products:

For over 25 years Taliah Waajid continues to live, breath and love natural hair. It is her life and it shows in what she has done, not only to benefit her, but also for the benefit of others in the natural hair care industry. This is why Taliah Waajid is dubbed, “The Queen of Curly, Coily, Natural Hair Care.” She really cares about the natural hair care industry and community.

From what I've read, Taliah Waajid is a woman who has basically focused her life on natural hair care. I don't think she's ever even had a relaxer... Her story is interesting because she began caring for and styling natural hair for herself and others at a very young age. She struggled to find work in beauty salons because natural hair just wasn't 'in' then. But through it all she managed to continue practing her love for natural hair care and eventually opened her own shop and began this line of products that, from what I've seen, have received pretty positive reviews.

Taliah Waajid is also known for great natural hair products for children. I'm looking into her line a bit more and may try something out on my 4 year old daughter's hair. You know I'll keep you posted [;

[#Shoutout] to you, Ms. Taliaj Waajid for following your dreams despite the many obstacles you've faced and ultimately coming up with this wonderful curly curl creme formula [:

[Tutorial]: DIY Lip Exfoliation

Happy Friday Eve my loves! I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are, but it's been pretty up and down the past 2 weeks here in New Orleans. I'm talking below 50 degrees in the morning, to damn near 80 degrees by lunch time, to thunderstorms on the way home in the evening... who has time to play around with weather like this?! Lol.

Aside from leaving you with an ever-lasting cold, harsh weather conditions like this can also do major damage to your lips! I don't know about you, but I damn sure don't want to be caught with cracked up, crusty down, dry lips. Not cute.

So what can you do to protect your lips? Exfoliate! And the best thing about this process... it costs nothing! Last year (before going natural) I posted a video on DIY lip exfoliation using a few items I got straight from my own kitchen... Check it out:



I'm actually going to do this myself when I get home today... Hope this helps someone out there!!
