Is it true does PerioBrite really whiten your teeth?
From my experience.....NO!
I'm writing this post 5 minutes after brushing my teeth and I even used baking soda to give it that extra umphhh! power, but to no avail PerioBrite does not work for me at all.
It really was a waste of money. Next time I should stick to the brand of natural non-fluoride that usually gets the job done right and brightens my day and night.
Going out with yellowish-white teeth is not cool especially when you're taking a communication class and you have presentations to do like I do!
What will I do??
Make my own toothpaste!
More on that soon.

What are you going to do with your hair? you should get a wig!
From my experience black women who rock the weaves and wigs look down upon me and us as a whole who are natural. The looks I've been given attest to that. Looks like: you-really-went-outside-looking-like-that; men-always-love-long-hair-that's-why-I-got-my-bf-and-you-don't, etc. These stares and looks are very detrimental to black women living in both cities and rural areas; more so in rural areas. I bring this up because we all need to find our sangha; our community sanctuary. Please, when choosing who you let into your private club make sure they are on your paradigm or frequency, because my great Aunt sure isn't in mine but I have to live with her at the moment.

Did Carol's Daughter Sell Out?
This is how Carol's Daughter went from natural to mainstream-sold-their-soul.
Ok, first let's examine Carol's Daughter when they first came out. They were on Tyra Banks, endorsed by Jada Pinkett Smith who loved that Carol's Daughter was all NATURAL.
But now after the recent Disney movie came out and the deal they had with Disney to create a line of hair products for little girls. Those products marketed to little girls do not have a natural substance from my observations. For example let's look at the limited Edition! Shampoo "Beauty Within"ingredients listed below:
Water, Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Glycol Stearate SE, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, Fragrance, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citric Acid, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Will this seriously create beauty? I think not. I am an advocate of natural, organic products and as always an advocate of TRUTH.
So before you buy these products for your kids, tell me can you read all the names of the ingredients listed without stumbling on the words? Good Luck.

Review of thankgodimnatural.wordpress.com
This blog by Chris-tia is taking it into a new direction this year which will emphasize:
- a healthier lifestyle for black people
- better eating habits
- exercise
- how to cope with every day problems and stresses
Got Milk? Black Women and the BreastFeeding Dilema
"Frustrated" Teacher Cuts off Student's Hair
This blog also included mainstream content such as new movies that are out and as most popular blogs that I've seen showcase natural women whether it is natural chic of the week or other.
Of course there is merchandise to be sold and bought by us consumers!
The creator(s) of the blog, thankgodimnatural.wordpress.com have a book by the same name Thank God I'm Natural. Which I would love to read.
Ultimately the atmosphere/look of the website is a royalty color: purple!
Rating: 4.5/5
Rating Natural Hair Blogs on a scale of 1 to 5
I will now be rating natural hair blogs/websites.
I will be concerned about:
- content
- pictures
- A feel of community
- the look of the website: atmosphere
- and other miscellaneous things that catch my eye

My Reflection of the Last year
I finally decided to do me. To be me. I admire Nikki Yeager for flying with her intentions.
- I cut my hair, really short. I didn't want to do twists or braids or anything, I just wanted to brush/comb and leave.
- I finally decided to leave a college I hated and go to another school (which I currently do not like). Isn't that wonderful? lol (I never get a break).
- I decided to be open to meeting my soulmate and I met him! It took a few trials of a lot of ERROR but I met him! I focused and I received.
- I am finally owning up to my life and my goal for this year (2010) is financial independence also including having my own place!
- I am currently finishing my poetry book that I was supposed to finish before turning 20 yrs old, but you know, procrastination happens, lol. Just like it happens on this blog!
