Welcome to Wine’ing Momma!!!

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…]

Sybil Gets Her 1st Sew-in!

January 27, 2016 by Alisha 4 Comments

Last month I had the pleasure of hanging out with talented Maria of The Maria Antoinette! Maria and I first “met” when she and LaQuisha of Corner Curl Girl over 3 years ago when they had a 30-day natural hair challenge. That’s the first of 2 challenges I’ve actually completed in the last few years by the way…LOL! I’ve had the chance to witness Maria’s business and following grow tremendously over the years and so happy to be able to call her a friend. Not only is she the bomb with hair and makeup, she is genuinely a nice person as well. Nothing worse than someone being pretty on the outside with a heart of stone!

You all know that I’m not for long hair, but what I’ve been wanting since I got my taper cut was for the top to have more length. Shrinkage is the debil and it didn’t help that my last 2 cuts totally jacked up the length on top. -_- I showed Maria a picture on instagram and we just knew we had to recreate that look. I’ve never had a sew-in before so this was all new territory for me. [Read more…]

The Best Blogs in Nashville! #NaBloPoMo

November 13, 2015 by Alisha 7 Comments

Coilylocks (now known as Wine’ing Momma) has been around for about 7 years but I didn’t really start to get serious about blogging until 2 years ago. After I attended my first conference, Blogalicious, I was hooked. I was in awe at all of the talented people who I met from literally all over the world. And what was even cooler was meeting some of the people who had become internet friends in real life.

Little did I know that there was an amazing community of bloggers, writers and social influencers right here in Nashville. I’ve had the opportunity to make some new connections with brands and friendships because of this group of local women. [Read more…]

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…]
