I’ve heard about ‘good hair’ a lot growing up. It hit me everywhere I went; Walking into a classroom, eating during lunchtime, playing soccer, or riding home on the bus. Everyone wanted me to know that my hair was ‘good’. Mom told me never to let random people play, touch, or feel my hair…

“The same hair products that worked then, work now.

Recipe of the Day: Girl Scout Samoas Chicken...
I am not a Girl Scout, but I have eaten plenty of Girl Scout cookies. When I got a chance to participate in the Girl Scouts of Western Washington Cookie Recipe Contest, I jumped right in. I picked up 5 boxes of cookies, a combination of Samoas, Thin Mints, and Trefoils and headed back to my kitchen. I won’t lie, I opened up a box of Thin Mintsand ate a few right away, just to get the...

The Misadventure of Bow Legged Leeka and Kermit...
Yes, I know that this little old frog seems harmless, but lets really look at the culprit. Yes, he is small and yes, he seems helpless, but this little bugger has harassed me quite a bit. Hanging out in doorways waiting to pounce on his prey. Many times have we tussled…usually in a panic but I always prevail. He has infiltrated my living room, bedroom and doorways. I’ve had casualties such as...

“Keeping it Real!”
Alrighty! For those who may have a hard time reading the scrawl on this little piece of paper, I will help you out. It says, “I Love My Mommy. My Daddy Loves Dogs.” This scathing observation was recorded by our resident poet, Doodle, when she was 4 years old. We laughed about it for days, but in my infinite wisdom...

Blog from Bloom TCI: Getting closer to me...
There were several issues I had to settle before I did “The Big Chop”! Issue Number One: “How do I prep myself for the cultural kickback on letting go of my long locks of relaxed hair?” My relaxer was installed every 4-6 weeks by my Dominican sisters (whom I still fiercely believe are thebaddest chicks on the PLANET for a blow out!). Growing my hair has never been an...

Blog from Bloom TCI: The Natural Process...
Here it is. Another set of random thoughts from a random woman living what may appear to be a random life! But, for those of us who believe in God, we know nothing is random. We have an ingenious Lord who has handcrafted an intricate lifetime for us to experience before ultimately rejoining Him in eternity. This is a breathtaking concept. And sometimes in the vastness of that concept we...

Curls and Commercials
Lately, as I watch more and more commercials, I’ve noticed that black women are rocking their natural hair more. For a long time all I’ve seen were black women with silky straight hair. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but it definitely did not represent the other black women that wear their natural curls. Now, it seems that the majority of commercials that has a black woman...
