First off…welcome!!! Thank you all so much for joining me today as Wine’ing Momma makes her debut! This has been a long time coming and I’m so happy that my new look and name have finally happened! Now it wasn’t easy and there were many days along the way that I was looking like the image below! But I survived!!! Thank gawd for wine! LOL

I kept thinking about how I wanted it to look and what type of vibe I wanted to give to all my fun readers. There are so many “experts” out there in social media and after a while I swear they all started to sound like the adults on Charlie Brown. Do this…don’t do that… -_- [Read more…]

Restore the Luster to Your Hair with Living Proof Timeless Collection from Ulta

As much as I would like to tell Father Time to let Sybil (my hair) and I just be great, I realize that is no longer an option. We constantly torture our hair in the name of beauty. As those pesky greys advance at an alarming rate, the gap between coloring our hair gets shorter and shorter and we find ourselves exposing our hair to chemical processes that strip our locks of their natural luster and splendor. We can enjoy the beautiful hair reminiscent of our youth, and protect our investment in it, too, using a regimen of products that cater to our hair’s current needs.

I’ve been coloring my hair for so many years that I didn’t realize how much grey hair I had until I started letting some of my purple hair grow out. Lawd!!! I had no clue all of that was hiding up underneath there. And I promise you as I get older, those hairs grow at a rate that is quite possibly faster than the speed of light…seriously!

Since I can’t reverse time or slow down the aging process, I can at least use products on my hair that will help combat some of the stress I put on my tresses. Available only at Ulta Beauty, the Living Proof Timeless Collection includes not only shampoo, conditioner and plumping mousse but it includes a pre-shampoo treatment as well. All of my naturals can definitely relate to a pre-poo! Even those with relaxed, naturally straight or multi-ethnic hair will love using a pre-treatment shampoo! I also love that it’s formulated specifically for color treated hair! [Read more…]

Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals

This post brought to you by This Post brought to you by Jamaican Mango & Lime. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Coily Locks.

I’ve been natural for over 5 years…this time! 14 years ago I went natural and it was basically because 1) I was saving money for my upcoming wedding 2) I got tired of spending an entire Saturday in the hair salon 3) I wanted to try something new! Back then the products available were sparse and not many salons in my area of Nashville knew how to deal with natural hair unless you were coming in for a blow-out.

Fast forward to today and the options are endless. It’s so nice that I can just go into my favorite beauty supply store or even mass chain store and pick up products for my hair. Along the way there have been several hits and misses when it comes to products, but I was happy when I discovered Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals.

Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals is the line of moderately priced hair care products that deliver a “360 degree Moisture Miracle” of intense, lasting moisture to every, single strand of hair because its Moisture Miracle 360 °™ Blend of Pure & Natural butters, oils, natural extracts & vitamins that penetrates & surrounds every dry, thirsty, overworked strand and locks in 360 degrees of intense, long-lasting moisture. It’s nice when can find a line that carries everything you need to help your hair maintain moisture (which helps with length retention) as well as products for endless styling options.

As I inch closer and closer to my mid-40s (lawd) I realize that I can’t just “hope” that I’ll lose those pounds quick or “think” hard enough that it will actually happen. Y’all I have to actually get up and move and be active…when did this happen! Seriously though, as we age sometimes it gets a bit harder to keep the weight off or lose weight as quickly as we did in our younger years. Of course when I want to workout (at home or walking around the neighborhood) I still want to be cute and there is nothing worse than having the perfect outfit ruined. Depend® Silhouette® Active Fit* Briefs for Women allow you to wear any outfit you’d like, during any part of the day, without any worries. [Read more…]
