Meditation is becoming a way of life for vast populations across ethnic, social, and spiritual backgrounds. You'll be surprised what a diet of healthy life reflection and deep breathing will do for even the most challenging of situations.

Do you think working out has to be a hard and sweaty? Well if so, you thought wrong! The young singer, Willow Smith, actually participates in many yoga classes. Even though Yoga is not strenuous, it still helps with the function of moving your bones and muscles.  Possibly, you may think of working out as literally working until you're OUT, but it is always helpful to have a little bit of relaxation and fun while you're at it. Yoga is designed to help you meditate and calm yourself.

We hear it all the time, women giving up that creamy white stuff, that once had their hair patent leather straight, for beautiful textured coifs and coils. However, we have also seen those who attempt to go natural, but are leaning more towards an unkept, dry, weathered look (and no sis, that headband in the front, doesn't make it ok). Whatever end of the spectrum you are on, going natural is a process; that takes some time, patience, and a whole lot of trial and errors. Going natural implies that you are no longer using any chemical to alter the natural form of your hair, making many give up the once coveted relaxer. Relaxers permanently change the form of your hair, it does not wear off. Often,...

We see it all the time, a pool party, with NO SISTAS in the pool. And if they are, they are only waist deep. However, with temperatures reaching the high 90’s, full body emersion is definitely desired. As much as our bodies may love it, that salt and chlorine from pools and even open bodies of water do a number on our hair. Here are a few tips to protect your hair from such chemicals. * Before hopping in, saturate your hair with clean water and a little conditioner. By doing that your hair is less likely to absorb the chlorinated/salt water. For added protection, seal your hair with natural oil like jojoba or coconut oil.

What’s the first thing that people see, your skin!  And with all the stress that comes with life, your skin seems to be effected the most, at least for many of us. Ladies, I don’t care how much make-up you have on, but if you have rough and flaky skin, a pound of foundation will not create a MIRACLE. In my experience skin that’s dehydrated makes your face look dull, rough, and just unflattering to the naked eye, and it shows even under your make-up. SO WHAT’S THE ANSWER? Well the natural approach, I feel will have a magical outcome over time is LEMON WATER. Fresh lemon juice is abundant in natural electrolytes, which helps boost hydration, and is great for your skin.  Drinking lemon water...
