Blog from Bloom TCI: The "Anti-Naturalista"
So, what is a “Naturalista” anyway?  Well, I guess since its a completely invented word, it can mean almost anything! LOL!  But, my definition is a woman who lives by the intangible.  She enjoys keeping her life and her look in an organic state.  No, I don’t mean “raised with out chemicals” organic.  Although, that may apply at times!  I mean organic as is full of...

The African In Me: Let's Talk about "Good Hair"  →
theafricaninme: 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.

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...
