The first few moments of a photo shoot are always the most intimidating for me… I don’t fit into a box or a category, I am colorful and untamed, changing with each life event and situation, and always producing something different.
So far, the most difficult thing about this competition is switching from the role of model to photogopher. I have to think past composition, facial expression, and body positioning and now have to focus on picture quality, lighting, etc. This has been no easy task. I have grown to respect the roll of photographer so […]
I’m not new to Jamaican Mango & Lime products, my mother and I have trusted both the Locking wax and gel for twists and twists outs since I went natural two years ago.
As a busy working student, I never have time to pamper myself, and usually, things like skin care are definitely at the bottom my list. Especially if my options are expensive products that clog my pores or trips to the spa. So, the option to try a do it yourself, natural product was something I’ve […]
I will never forget my big chop. It was impulsive; I couldn’t wait to get to the nearest mall to have my permed hair removed forever.
by Vee Jefferson. I’ve always liked the idea of going natural, but never had the guts to go for it. My aunt, who has been wearing locs for some time now, had been encouraging me to grow out my natural hair so she could loc it. I always told her I’d think about it, but […]
Oh my goodness, it just hit me that it's almost over! The contest, that is. Time sure does fly, doesn't it?
Finally! I'd been wondering when I was going to get to model my funky, little fuzzy, brown hat. This was my absolutely fav of all the goodies we received.
Oh let’s see… Try ALL the products in the Eden Body Works’ Peppermint Tea tree hair pack and then choose my favorite. Would that even be possible? Decisions, decisions.
Challenge 4 has been the most challenging so far. This week we are actually modeling jewelry. Since I’m not a photographer, my biggest problems have been with lighting and the camera settings.

To be honest, I’ve always known better than to sleep on cotton, but still I did. The rationale behind sleeping on satin made so much sense, but still I never bothered. I was intrigued by this second challenge. I wanted to see if I’d truly feel a difference.
Videos of me getting my hair cut for the contest! More to come shortly. YouTube Profile And a special thanks to my wonderful cousin, Cedric, for allowing me to use him and his shop for the videos. He's so funny! and check the "country grammar" LOL! He owns and operates Glover's Beauty and Barber […]
Boy did I make a mistake. I went to this girl who had been highly praised by some girls I knew. I looked her up and made an appointment. Her name was Angel. Whew! Well, she applied the "supa" and sat down in the chair in front of me. I was like, what's really going on? […]
