Coilylocks Reader Survey – Help a Sista Out!

September 1, 2015 by Alisha 1 Comment

Almost 8 years ago I published my first blog post. Then my 2nd one was 4 years later…LOL! That was just after I did my first Big Chop and I wanted to share my journey with the rest of the world. So much has changed since those first two posts and it amazes me daily how much it has grown along the way. I’ve had a chance to make new friends literally all over the world with me just rambling out things going on in my life.

A few years ago I learned that people could actually make money doing this. And with that comes people selling you pipe dreams or giving you misinformation. I’ve made a lot of mistakes with my blog and I’ve also grown a lot as well. I started off just talking about natural hair and the journey that my teenager and I were going on together to have healthy hair. While working on my blog I met other bloggers and influencers that discussed health/fitness, nail art, motherhood and then WINE! I think by now you all know how much I love wine…LOL! [Read more…]

Tide Pods to the Rescue! #LaundryRedefined

July 26, 2015 by Alisha 2 Comments

As a mom of a teenager and rising 1st grader, anything that makes my life easier is going to make me happy! I ~~LOATHED~~ don’t care for doing laundry because it’s such a hassle and trying to lift those huge bottles of detergent can become so cumbersome. And don’t even get me started on the mess it can make when someone (the teenager or hubby) has washed clothes and let the detergent ooze down the side of the bottle and make a nice gooey mess. I am not here for any of that and apparently it doesn’t seem to annoy anyone in my house except me. Go figure!

First off notice how cool the container is for the detergent! With this top of product you want to make sure they stay moisture free and this air-tight container ensures that will be the case. Also you want to make sure to keep this product out of the reach of little fingers. And the top makes it a lot harder for those little mischievous hands to get a hold of the product. [Read more…]

2016 Kia Sorento #DriveKia #DriveShop

July 16, 2015 by Alisha 3 Comments

Last week Drive Shop dropped off a 2016 Kia Sorento for our family to review for a week. Last year our SUV “died” and we ended up getting a sedan. I’ve always loved the feel of driving an SUV and the Kia Sorento is a perfect mix of SUV and a sedan. I loved the style and the color was Snow White Pearl which looked absolutely beautiful when the sunlight hit it! To say the car was fully loaded would be an understatement. I think the only things missing were a DVD player and a mini fridge.

The lane departure feature is amazing for those road trips or late night driving. It gives the alert to let you know when you are starting to shift over into the other lane. I tried it out by changing lanes without signaling and was just in awe at how the car knew I was leaving my lane. And nothing more annoying than when you set the car on cruise control and have to keep adjusting it to keep up with the flow of traffic. You can set it so that the speed will be consistent with 1-3 car lengths ahead of you. That is just pure genius! And the alert for your blind spot was pretty cool too. Always seems as though people like to just hang out in your blind spot area just when you’re wanting to switch lanes. We’ve been in Florida for most of the summer so when I learned that the front driver and passenger seats were equipped with a cooling feature I almost jumped for joy. Imagine sitting on leather seats after the car has been basking in glory of the Florida sunshine…not pretty! But within a few moments those seats were so cool that it almost felt like I had put menthol on my back…LOL! The front and middle also had heated seats, as well as a heated steering wheel, but clearly there was no need to test that out in the summer. HAHA! [Read more…]
