GoldDiggers

Sherri Shepherd is one of my favorite comedian, actress and television personality. I can remember when she announced her engagement to Lamar Sally. I thought she was Happy but now that I'm reading about this divorce, I feel he married her to get her money. Soon after her first divorce in (09), Lamar started to plot on her. Sad!!! And the surrogate (someone He was already with) was in on it too. Why do I say that? Because guess where They say He is now, with the surrogate. Here's the trifling part....He's with the baby's mother. He filed divorce. He wants child support from Sherri to take care of their baby. Heck No!!!

Now, I have raised 4 children and it Did not cost me 10k-20k a month to raise them. So, why does He think she should pay him 10k a month? Now according to IMDB.com, Lamar is known for his work on Rodney and It's my time to talk. Ahhhhh, He used her as a come up.

According to dailyentertainmentnews.com, after their 2011 wedding, a report surfaced that Lamar was still close with an ex-girlfriend and He had invited her to his wedding to Shepherd. He never mentioned to Sherri that They were former lovers.
I hope things workout in her favor.

Understanding Natural Hair

I recently read an internet blog about things that naturals should do. When I first read it, I immediately thought, the writer must not be natural. Why do I think that? Because the writer suggest that naturals need to wash the hair once a week. However, she is a natural. Who would've thought?


First let me say, we wash clothes. We shampoo hair. If we (naturals) shampooed our hair once a week, it would strip our hair of it's natural oils. The writer then says that they make facial expression when they hear that naturals shampoo their hair once 3-4 times a week. NO, our hair is not dirty for a month, as we co-wash with conditioner. It's called co-washing and it still cleanses our hair but using conditioner instead of shampoo keeps our hair soft, moisturized and does not strip it's natural oil. We can co-wash our hair 1-2 times a week.


The writer suggest that naturals should wash their bonnet. Whether you are natural or relaxed, a clean satin/silk bonnet and pillowcase is essential to avoid hair breakage. That's a no brainer.


Next, the writer said that naturals need to clean your hair products. She showed a picture with hair in a product. I agree, that's nasty but I don't know anyone that has hair balls in their products. No one moisturizes or saves balls of hair in their product. Some do save the hair that has come out during detangling in a plastic ziplock bag to do patch/strand test, if they decide to color (not dye) their hair.


I'm not sure what blogs, social media pages or pictures, she has seen but I think most naturals take care of their hair the best they can. Of course, with proper education and a regimen, they can grow and maintain healthy hair. Organic Hair & Health Spa specializes in natural hair, offers private one on one consultations, educates you on at home maintenance in between salon appointment and has mobile service. Call Organic to schedule an appointment at 443-631-0616.


I hope this gives you a better understanding of how naturals take care of their hair. We Shampoo, Condition, Deep Condition with a Moisturizer or Protein Treatment, and Seal in the Moisture before styling our hair. At night, we sleep with a clean silk bonnet on a satin pillowcase, like relaxed hair should. Being natural just takes more time to style your hair but I wouldn't trade my natural hair for anything. I've been natural for over 20 years and I love it.

Homemade Foam Soap

I've sure had a lot of extra time on my hand  to research and experiment with somethings. When you adapt to a healthy lifestyle, you begin to evaluate people, places and things that are around you. I started making my own febreeze , due to my daughter and I allergies. Soon afterwards, I began making body scrubs, lip balm and anything natural I could think of.

Today is a snow day so I decided to make some foaming hand soap to put at each sink. Who wants to spend $4.79 on foaming hand soap, at local retailers? Not this #FrugalDIVAH. So, I filled my container with pump almost to the top with hot water. Next, add 2 tbsp of liquid castile soap ($3.25 DIVAH BOUTIQUE ). Then add 1/2 of Sweet Almond oil ($8, DIVAH BOUTIQUE) and any essential oil for a nice scent. Screw on top , change it up and you're ready to wash away.

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to proverty. (Proverbs 14:23)
