Sephora x Original Moxie Offer You A Special Hair & Scalp Experience In Philly

I had mentioned a few weeks back on Instagram about a Sephora in-store event I was participating in. Now I can share the full details with you!

I teamed up with Original Moxie, a hair care brand based out of Michigan, and the Sephora in Philly to offer in-depth analysis of your hair and scalp on October 18, 2015. You’ll receive a personalized hair care regimen along with a starter kit of their ultra-lux products to pamper your waves, curls, coils & kinks. The products are made from concentrated plant essence and botanical ingredients but I love how the brand takes scalp, density, texture, porosity, moisture, and shape into consideration to make the best product recommendation. This is exactly what you’ll experience at this natural hair event using their specialized Seven Point Assessment (SPA) system that can be sent to you digitally. I know, sounds cool interesting right!

All Sephora locations now carry Original Moxie products and I am excited to be a part of the first location to launch the You’re an Original a special event in the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection!

Come out and visit myself, and my stylist friend Ve, to talk about healthy hair!

18 Habits To Make A Better ‘You’

If you feel like you could do a little more to keep your mind clear and yourself happier, this article from BUSTLE offers simple suggestions on how to do so. You actually can’t get no more concise than this:

“The reality is that what you are doing today, in this moment, in the next hour, tomorrow morning… that is your life. This is it. The day-to-day of your existence is what it is, and you have to make a conscious choice to enjoy it in the moment, rather than waiting for what’s to come without doing anything to get there first. So here are 18 little ways to adjust yourself to make the most of those minutes and hours; all the ways you don’t realize you’re unintentionally self-sabotaging, and all the little ways you can make things that much easier for yourself.”

What Is Hair: The Historical Origin and Its Significance

I felt the need to take us back into history to shed some light on the significance of our hair, or hair in general, with information that will make us think differently and more scientifically. Let’s see what is hair? Or what is it’s purpose? Today we associate our hair as a sign of health measured by its strength or how long it can grow. Many of us like to adorn our hair as a way to express personal style, moods, and trends. In other parts of the world it can be a sign of wealth or fertility (I know this for sure from my experience studying in India).

Viola Takes Home a Historical Emmy Award & Speaks Truth During Speech

My black women are beautiful and my black women are powerful! Congratulations to Viola Davis for her historical Emmy Award as the first African-American woman to win best actress in a drama and it was also the first time in history that multiple black women were nominated within this category as Tariji P. Henson was also nominated. Even though Henson did take home the win, you can tell she was just as excited and proud for Davis as we all were siting at home watching her.

Warm Sips: Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. Hot Coco

Mother nature has changed the temperature drastically and Philly is getting lower in the chill zone by the day. I naturally have a low body temperature so warm drinks are my go-to that keep me from turning into an ice cube. It felt good to take a sip of my favorite hot chocolate from Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. where the cafe makes their own whipped cream and marshmallows in-house. Its just as yummy as it sounds!

I’ll be sure to share more of my favorite warm drinks this season; stay on the look out…

Paying Homeage to Our Laborers: Serena Williams X Gatorade

Gatorade released a video commercial that caught my attention this Labor Day while I browsed through YouTube. This holiday “pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894.” -Google.com

In America we’re all considered laborers whether it’s through our craft as artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or if you’re the moving part who keeps one of the thousands of corporate companies and main stream brands a float 365 days a year. This day is meant to honor you! In this video Gatorade highlights Serena Williams and all of her athletic accolades beginning in her childhood to present day in a compelling one minute segment. No person’s contribution to America’s culture is to less or to small because we all have a sole purpose. Enjoy your Labor Day and stay safe!

Hair 101: Securing The Cuticle with Aloe Vera

Here is a quick and useful hair tip that will keep your hair smooth and shiny all summer. The substance inside the Aloe Vera plant has the same pH as your hair (around a 4.5 pH) which is perfect for closing the hair’s cuticle– the very outer layer of the hair that allows moisture and products to be absorbed into the hair shaft. When the hair’s cuticle is closed and lays flat and secure, the hair appears shiny from the light that is reflected from the sun and off of the hair but also offers the ultimate smoothness for easy manipulation, styling, and detangling.
