Happy Good Friday everyone!  Isaiah 53:3-9 3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the...

Psalms 118:24 says, ' This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." This is our license to enjoy today. This is our license, our proof to keep on, keeping on. This is our license to smile through trials and tribulations. This is our license to laugh out loud. This is our right to ENJOY and REJOICE today! It is, because the LORD made today. It is our right to relax. It is our right to be at ease. It is our right to ENJOY today. It is our right because HIS word says so! This post is for Danni and anyone else who is going through it... Cheer up because He loves you :-)   and I pray that someone was blessed today :-) -1BlessedNatural

Happy Monday everyone, I have heard many women say they don't want to go natural because it's too much work. They do not want to buy a lot products. They do not want to style their hair a lot. I'm here to say that you do not have to do those things if you do not desire. I am a person that likes to try different products and hairstyles. However, I have found a simple hair regimen that works for me: Daily: Moisturize my hair and seal with oil morning and night             Current Style of choice - Twist outs - twist hair nightly                                                                                     ...

Happy Friday everyone, I have been making my own Shea Butter mixture slowly, over the past 2 months lol. I used Shea Butter when I had a T.W.A.. But, I haven't used it on my hair much, lately. I had a bunch of ingredients that I wanted to try to mix together, so I figured why not try a Shea Butter mixture. I have read many websites that have claimed that Shea Butter (by itself) is a good moisturizer for your hair. In my experience Shea Butter has only worked in sealing the moisture in my hair. If I applied Shea Butter to my hair, it would look shiny but would dry out and become brittle. So, I would say that Shea Butter is a good sealant. If you apply water or a moisturizer on your hair, and then apply the Shea Butter on top, you would get good results.  I used an 8oz container of raw Shea Butter mixed with Olive Oil for my mixture. Ingredients 1. Raw Shea Butter (6oz) 2. Olive Oil (1/4 cup) 3. Water (1 tablespoon) 4. Aloe Vera Juice (1 tablespoon) 5. Pep...

Hey everyone! I have been having trouble with dry scalp and dandruff, because I haven't been using Selsun Blue. I haven't been using any type of shampoo; I've only been using my Castile soap mixture.   A while back, I bought 100% pure Tea Tree Oil from Whole Foods. It costs about $11.00 for the 2Fl Oz bottle above. I had been using the Hollywood brand, but I think the real oil is better. I researched the benefits of it, on a few websites including KinkyCoilyCurlyMe & Daily Glow . Today, I did a pre-poo with Castor Oil on my hair and the Tea Tree Oil on my scalp. I also put about 10 drops in my Castile soap mixture to cleanse my hair. It was recommended that you use the Tea Tree Oil on your scalp daily. However, the fragrance is very strong. I might try to apply it to my scalp at night. I will give you all an update soon!
