Wash day: My first impressions of Wakati hair products

Hello everyone! As a natural hair girl, I love trying out new products to see how they will work with my curls. One product that I recently came across is the Wakati hair line. I had not heard much about it but then noticed that my Ibotta app had rebates for the entire line. I Googled and them and found out it was a brand for natural hair (particularly people of color) so I decided to give it a try. All products were relatively affordable (in comparison to other natural hair products) with a 9.99 price tag for each item. Here are a few other fast facts about the Wakati line that you will hear more about in my video:

  • Created in partnership with students from the HBCU Florida A&M University
  • Paraben & sulfate free
  • SUPER moisturizing 
  • Affordably priced at 9.99 per item
  • Available at Target and Walgreens online and in-store

Yes! Healthy food seasonings do exist! - Flavor God Seasonings review

Happy Easter ya’ll!  I’m from the south and one of the things we do is eat and eat GOOD! By good I don’t necessarily mean healthy, but I mean good as in flavorful and well seasoned. Unfortunately, many of the seasonings we and most other people that use seasonings and spices to add more flavor to their food often have deal with the fact that most of those flavorful  seasonings are high in salt/sodium content, possibly high in calories and generally aren’t healthy for our bodies. This is especially true if you come from a family that tends to have a history of health conditions such as high blood pressure and/or diabetes. In the African-American community, these conditions did to run strong and in many cases our diet is at the root of the problem. 

I had been hearing about Flavor God seasonings for a while so I decided to give them a try. I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far. The flavor is still there yet many of the seasonings are 0 calorie and much lower in sodium (if it has any at all) than our traditional seasonings like McCormick, Mrs. Dash, Webber, etc. I still use those other brands from time to time but it’s great to have healthy alternatives available that don’t compromise flavor. Take a peek at my video to learn more about some of my favs and how I use these seasonings in my everyday cooking. Don’t forget to like & subscribe while you’re there!

T-shirt quilts- A cool way to declutter and preserve your old t-shirts!

 If you’re like me, you probably have some old t-shirts in a drawer, storage, under the bed or somewhere around your house that you never wear but you don’t want to donate or toss out. Chances are these shirts possess some sentimental value and although you can’t or won’t wear them anymore, you don’t just want to toss them out. While there is nothing wrong with holding on to these cherished possessions, they can become a bit of a clutter issue or you may just get tired of moving them from one place to the other. Insert the solution to your problem, Project Repat T-shirt quilts. Project Repat is a company that takes your old t-shirts and turns them into super cozy quilts. They make great gifts and can be a great way to reduce clutter and reduce your impact on the environment with textile waste.

Giving Firstleaf wine membership a try- wine, wine & more wine!

 As we all know Big Brother is always watching and keeping track of what we browse, shop and and interact with online. Given I am a wine fiend, I’ve had quite a few ads appear in my Instagram and Facebook feeds. Firstleaf was one of them. I’d seen them before but never really thought I was their type of audience. Around Black Friday, they were offering a special introductory offer to get 6 bottles for 19.99 and I took the bait. Fast forward about 3 months and I finally take them up on the offer and order. I took a quiz first to give them an idea of the type of wines I may be interested in and they curated a box based on my results. I got a mix of red and white that I am so excited to try! I consider myself a sweet to semi-sweet wine drinker so I’m curious to see how my tastebuds like something different than the usuals. I also browsed the site and found some more wines that peaked my interest. Even if I don’t decide to keep a membership long term, I definitely see myself ordering from them again soon! Check out my unboxing video below!
