(Finally) Sharing some photos/videos from my 30th (Finally) Sharing some photos/videos from my 30th birthday trip to #Kenya — leave it to me to post this 9 months later 😅 Read my blog post for a full recap (🔗 in bio) on where I ate, played, and stayed in #Kenya🇰🇪 (#Nairobi and #Lamu) including @ololo_lodge, which was hands down one of my favorite stays because: 1. It's located in #NairobiNationalPark: Making it a great option if you're short on time but want to experience a safari 🦁🐒🦓🦒 2. Their staff is very attentive and friendly, especially their manager, James! 3. Your stay includes complimentary breakfast, lunch, dinner, and beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) 4. Their amenities include a spa room 💆🏾‍♀️ and even a pool to enjoy in between the morning and evening #gamedrives
👀 Watch me go from a #silkpress 🔙 to my curl 👀 Watch me go from a #silkpress 🔙 to my curls 👩🏾‍🦱 Does anyone else love the first #washday after getting a trim? Your ends are healthy, detangling is a breeze, and your curls just act right 🤣 I've posted a couple of these "revert silk press back to curly hair" videos on the ⏰️ app, and enjoy making them because it's fascinating seeing how much my hair shrinks with just water, it's like magic ✨️😍 I love getting silk presses because I get a brief break from my curls and get my necessary trims. However, nothing beats my #naturalhair! I wish I appreciated my curls more when I was younger and not striving for straight hair or a looser curl pattern, but I'm happy I do now 🙏🏾

🎉 This month marks my 8 year #naturalhair anniv 🎉 This month marks my 8 year #naturalhair anniversary! On September 4, 2015, my stylist cut my relaxed ends, starting my #naturalhairjourney. To celebrate the occasion, here's my usual #lengthcheck from my recent #silkpress and trim. Embracing my natural hair was one of the best decisions I made in my early 20s. This is the healthiest (and longest) I've ever seen my hair 😍 but it took a lot of patience and mistakes to get my hair where it's today. I've never really shared some of these mistakes, but there were many — including: • Experiencing heat damage (my stylist and I were able to fix this and have since stopped using high heat towards the front of my hair) • Accidently cutting ✂️ a piece of my hair when unraveling #passiontwists 😅 (thankfully, it was towards the back of my head and has since grown out) • Having protein overload (I underestimated how strong @aphogee's protein treatment is 😬) What mistakes have you made in your hair journey?
#ad What's your least favorite part of pre-travel #ad What's your least favorite part of pre-travel 🤔? Thanks to @taskrabbit, I was able to hire a Tasker to pick up last-minute items I needed for my recent trip.  This allowed me to focus my time and energy on more important things, like packing and doing my hair 👩🏾‍🦱. @kayak and @taskrabbit have teamed up for a sweepstakes where one winner will get a $500 gift card towards travel from KAYAK + $500 in Taskrabbit credit.

Do you wear your #naturalhair 👩🏾‍🦱 whil Do you wear your #naturalhair 👩🏾‍🦱 while on vacation? For 90% of my trips, I put my natural hair in #minitwists or #minibraids. Both are great low-maintenance styles, keep my hair moisturized in any climate, and are versatile to style. My favorite hairstyles for mini twists and braids are: two buns, a low ponytail or bun, or wearing a scarf with my twists/braids out. For the other 10%, my hair is either: blown out and styled, in a protective style (mainly #passiontwists or #senegalesetwists), or silk pressed. It really depends on factors like: the climate at the destination I'm going to, activities I'm getting into, and duration of trip. • Slide 1: Mini braids with twists at the ends in Kenya 🇰🇪 • Slide 2: Mini twists in Peru 🇵🇪 • Slide 3: Mini twists in the Philippines 🇵🇭 • Slide 4: Mini twists on blown out hair in Portugal 🇵🇹 • Slide 5: Mini twists in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 • Slide 6: Regular sized twists in Canada 🇨🇦
