I am excited to be staring the new year off with a healthier diet and brighter outlook on life. I have been increasing my veggie and fruit intake and have increased my exercise routine. I have also made an effort to look for great vitamins and supplements to help me to be a healthier and better me. I recently found out about Canfo's BeautifyMe.

"Beauty is simply a reflection of the body's condition: every woman has the ability to become beautiful. Hair, skin, and nails are often the most obvious reflection of the body’s condition. When the body and more specifically, when a woman's reproductive system is deprived of nutrients, hair often appears less full and vibrant; nails have bumps and ridges and are even brittle; skin becomes drier and more prone to inflammation. BeautifyMe™ works to replenish and enhance the reproductive system and its ability to absorb and maintain nutrients. As the reproductive system more efficiently absorbs nutrients, the byproduct is a healthy, replenished body with healthy, hair, skin, and nails." To learn more about Canfo and their pro-better-health products, go to Canfo.com.  I am excited to add BeautifyMe to my new healthy diet!
Aubrey Organic's has some great hair care products. Their lavender shampoo and conditioner smells heavenly!

I had a chance to add the balancing shampoo to my last hair wash.  I used it as a pre-wash and then used my regular shampoo after, and I loved how clean my scalp and hair looked! To learn more about Aubrey's hair products, go to

I have seen Ethyn & Ayden's photos before. They are such handsome little guys.
29 Styles, 29 Days, $29 Dollars!
By Terez Howard

If you could ask me what emotion dominated my first year with locs, I would not say freedom, although my locking journey was and continues to be a freeing experience.  I would not say love, even though I love my hair more than ever since my micro locs were installed.  I would say fear.
Yes, fear.  I was afraid of ruining my hair.  I worried that manipulation would cause irreversible damage.  I know.  Dramatic, right?  So, I did only about a dozen hair styles during those first 365 days with locked hair.  For me, that was a sickeningly minimal amount of styles since I was the girl that changed her hair do at least every week, if possible.

It took me a whole year to realize that the locs growing out of my head weren’t going to crash and burn from styling.  Therefore, to satisfy my craving for hair styles, I decided to do 29 Styles, 29 Days, $29.  I will do a different hair style every day in February and not spend more than $29 on accessories.
This challenge will be tricky because I don’t have long locs, and the styles I salivate over require arm-pit length hair.  I also lack hair styling skills because I have done next to no experimenting with my locs.

I invite you to follow my challenge at Naturalicious Hair every day in February.
