5 Ways My Black Won’t Crack!

September 22, 2018 by Alisha 7 Comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock there’s an old saying of “Black Don’t Crack”.  While this may be true in most cases, if you don’t take care of your mind, body and soul you’ll end up looking a hot ratchet mess!  I for one am not about that life and would like to keep looking “29” LOL  It wasn’t until I reached my 40s before I finally found a perfect combination of things to help me look and feel younger!  Now my knees on the other hand haven’t caught on to that but hopefully they’ll catch on soon!

I’ve also learned that the price of a product doesn’t necessarily mean its going to work the best.  Many of the items I use are over the counter and I splurge on a few products that I know will do what they promise and more.

1 | Maintain a Good Skin Care Regimen

I like to keep my skin care regimen very simple.  My dad is knocking on 80 and I swear that man doesn’t have ONE SINGLE WRINKLE!  And my mom also keeps her regimen simple and has been using Ponds Cold Cream since I was a teenager.  My skin however is very oily and it took what seems like years before I finally figured out a good combination.  I use Bioré® Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser with my face brush, follow that with a hyaluronic acid serum with vitamin C and Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream.  I’ve been dealing with my face looking like I smeared chicken grease on it toward the middle of the day and JUST learned about gel moisturizers.  And once a week I’ll use my charcoal face mask from KJ Naturals.  I’m also wanting to incorporate treating myself to monthly facials.  😉

Knixwear is Reinventing Intimates for REAL Women

September 12, 2018 by Alisha 2 Comments

This past summer The Nash Gals asked for a few women to come for a body positive shoot they were doing with Knixwear while they were in Nashville from Canada. Since I’ve decided they 2018 is my year of doing things WAY outside of my comfort zone I jumped at the chance to participate.

When I arrived I wanted to run my butt right back to my car. All of the other ladies were blonde, white and not an XL like me!  I psyched myself out and pushed through!  I’m currently at my heaviest and definitely not anywhere near would I would like to be especially sitting in a racer back bra and leggings knowing good and well these picture would be out there for everyone to see 😳

I’m sharing these pics hoping that more women won’t feel alone and bombarded by all the “curated bullshit” feeds that are floating around. Hell even those people don’t look like that in real life.  This bra is one of the most comfortable sports bras I’ve ever worn! 🙌🏾 Knixwear made this medium-impact sports bra to maximize performance and minimize distractions. I’m pretty sure it’ll be my new favorite seamless exercise bra.

Natural Ear Care in 3 Easy Steps

March 24, 2018 by Alisha Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but this past Winter did a number on everyone in this house.  Being stuck indoors during the colder months can stress you out mentally and physically!   Breathing in the same dry, circulated air along with cooties is not good for anyone.  But as we move into Spring then we’re all full of pollen and sneeze all day long.  That leaves you congested and full of mucus!  This year I’ve decided to be more proactive in our health and try to ward off stuff before rather than wait until we’re all sick.

Wally’s Natural sent over a few things to help us take better care of our ear health.  Did you know that your ear health is one of the most neglected senses?  Their products were created with the mission to help people unwind.  The line of natural products aims to help people relax with a loved one and take time for themselves.   We are all about self care in this house and I want to make sure that my girls realize the importance of never putting yourself last.


The three products we got were Kids Ear Scrub, Ear Candles and Organic Ear Oil.  Designed with children in mind, the ear scrub is a fun and safe way for kids to clean their ears.  Morgan LOVED using this product.  It comes with this cool sponge that looks like a beauty blender and all you do is get it wet, place a few drops on the sponge and clean those little ears!  I swear ALL of the dirt, dust and debri goes to live in that kid’s ears.  She uses it in the shower and its one less thing that I have to worry about doing…woohoo!

The Organic Ear Oil is a unique blend of essential oils that help to moisturize, soothe and comfort agitated ears.  I used this a few times and it felt so weird because of the tea tree oil but after that “cooling” sensation wore off I was good to go.  [Read more…]

When Breast Cancer Hits a Loved One

October 26, 2017 by Alisha 7 Comments

 

breast-cancer-awareness-month

October is the month when the world brings more awareness to breast cancer.  But for me, each month is a reminder of how breast cancer can affect those we love.  On March 1, 2013 my mom had a double mastectomy after a biopsy showed early signs of cancer.  Luckily my mom has her mammograms performed yearly and the cancer was caught so early that she did not need radiation or chemotherapy.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for breast cancer in the United States this year are:

  • About 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
  • About 60,290 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
  • About 39,620 women will die from breast cancer
