Product: Michonne Deluxe Action Figure from The Walking Dead Size: 10in./25 cm Price: approximately $30.00 Manufacturer: McFarlane Toys Place: Walmart and Amazon Prime Items Included: Outfit, sword, sheath, and (2) arms 1BlessedNatural: a look inside the box. Check out her lox!   My Review  This past weekend, I saw the 10 inch Michonne Deluxe Action Figure ( The Walking Dead ) at Walmart, and I had to buy it! I don't usually buy action figures, but I loved the detail on Michonne. On the show, Michonne is a sword-swinging fighter with a good heart. She is a powerful character, and the toy captured that really well. The box says that the figure was created based on a complete 3D scan of her (Danai Gurira). You can see the wrinkles in her clothes, details on her boots, and facial expression. She is very lifelike. Even her dreads are elaborate, and I love her headband! If you are looking to get someone a Christmas or birthday gift and they'...

1BlessedNatural: Review of the Natural Goddess Moisturizing Conditioner/Detangler Hey, my blessed naturals! Today, I want to tell you all about a natural hair product called the Natural Goddess Moisturizing Conditioner/Detangler. I usually jump right into the review, but I would be doing this product and its creator an extreme disservice.  The Natural Goddess line of products were created by 19-year-old Joi Zakiyyiah. She's overcome  many challenges, including health problems and the loss of her brother. Zakiyyiah credits the Lord for her strength. She created her product line because she was not pleased with the choices of natural hair products on the market. I was very inspired by Joi Zakiyyiah's story, and I hope you are too! I'm very proud of her. Product: Natural Goddess Moisturizing Conditioner/Detangler (Pudding) Size: 4 OZ Price: I received the product for free to review, but the regular price for this size is $12.50. There are 2 other sizes a...
