There is a great fashion blog called LULA .  I have always been a fan of fashion, sketching, illustration and basically all forms of art.  So this blog really caught my eye.   "Lula is sketched, scanned and digitally restyled.This Blog features her work titled "The Subject I know Best" consisting of a series of pictures that she describe as "Self Portraits".In her words: it's a "celebration of paper, glue, bindings, pages capturing images you can't forget".To describe herself she quotes her friend Jessica saying : "I'm not bad.I'm just drawn this way"." - Lula Images & Content Source:  LULA  Artist link found on: Natural Bella

I am loving my loc updo right now. It is a fun look that isgreat for the office or for a formal event. Get this look!   To createthis updo, try the following steps below. If you can, wash your loc'sfirst or spritz them with a setting spray, so that when you take your hairdown (after you hair is completely dry), you will have a nice curlpattern.   1.       Braidyour loc's into sections, using 6 or so loc's per braid. Use a rubber band thatmatches your hair color, to secure the end each braid.  I always washmy hair the night before I do this style, so it gives my hair a chance todry a bit, before creating this updo. 2.       To startthe updo, pull all your braids into a high ponytail.  Ialways do a two section ponytail because my loc’s are long and can be heavyin an updo. With a two part pony tail, you make a ponytail withall your loc ...

Meet Synethia - A women that has a great talent for styling locs. Synethia talked to me about her inspiration and what makes her a Natural Beauty. Q: What is your hair story?  What kind of hair styles have you rocked, before embracing your natural hair? A:   I have had many hairstyles from a press to jerri curls to a perm. Q:  When and why did you decide to start wearing your hair naturally? A:  I have decided to wear my hair naturally in second year of university. I got really tired of my hair and scalp being battered and scared from perm and damaged from the heat and over processing. Q:  Did you have any big fears about going back to your natural texture? A:   Going natural was a great accomplishment for me and I have had more joys than fears. I have had chemical in my hair since I was 10 years old and hardly ever knew what my natural hair looked like. Even though I did not transition to my natural hair in its loose state, I was still overjoyed that I ma...

Love & Hate…   Ihad a very eventful morning today.   Icame into contact with two strangers – one that that expressed hate and onethat expressed love.   Hate Filled Rage: While I was driving to work, a man was crossing the streetgoing in the same direction that I was driving. I stopped at the stop sign andwatched as the man and his daughter crossed the street going in my samedirection. Suddenly, with out even looking to see of any cars were coming, hestop midway in the street and tried to cross right in front of my moving car.Thankfully I was not driving too fast and was able to slow down to stop as heand his daughter crossed the street.   Instead of looking my way and saying thank you (because obviously, youdo not stop in the middle of the street and try to cross into   oncoming traffic) he looked at me with completehate and started to yell out at me “You Ignorant   #%R*&!”    Thankfully I did not hear the end of that statement, because I ...

I found this great review of the Naturally Beautiful Hair blog online, and I just want to say thank you sooo much to Amy, aka - Visionary Diva!  I appreciate your taking the time to write about my blog, and I am so glad that you found it to be encouraging as you went through the beginning stages of y our natural hair journey. Naturally Beautiful Hair (Blog Review) posted by  Visionary Diva   February 9, 2011 - 3:48pm "It was 11 years ago when I got fed up with the vigorous schedule of being in the shop every week or two getting a new hair style and every 3 months getting a perm. The oiling and wrapping up started to be to much...not to mention the harsh winters that broke my hair off and caused me to become un-be-weave-able!! Extensions led me to a whole other problem that involved my ends breaking and other unhealthy methods of gaining a eye catching hairdo. Enough was enough and I decided it was time to do something different. I can't really remember what I was thinkin...

Check out the Afro Glitz Magazine Project. "For "afro" women like me, there's a lack of representation of both appearance and interests in magazines that are marketed towards us. I do not close these magazines feeling empowered, inspired or more knowledgeable than before. Rather than doing absolutely nothing to solve this issue, I vowed to be the change that I wanted to see.  I now present to you: The Afro Glitz Magazine Project. We're women of many dreams and talents.   We love to create.  We love to build.  We love to learn. We love to inspire. Afro Glitz will be a magazine for the creatives, beauty lovers, fashionistas, writers, health enthusiasts, science lovers and techie geeks.  In addition, this magazine will be a true reflection of its audience, allowing one to submit content to the magazine.  Each article will be presented in an artsy, high quality fashion. Here are a couple of examples of how articles would be presented in the magazine:"  - ...

The Naturally Beautiful Blog reached 1000 Subscribers a last month (we are now at 1036! Whoo Hoo!!). As a thank you to everyone who reads this blog, and continues to contribute both here and on Facebook, I am giving away a brand new bottle of Sephora's Only Gold For top coat nail polish. I first tried this polish yesterday, when I went to get my nails done. After getting french tips, I went home and put two layers of the top coat over my nails. I think it came out pretty cute.  I liked it so much that I went out today, after work, and brought a brand new bottle to share with one lucky reader.  Here are a few more photos that I found online on how you can use the polish - To enter the contest, follow my blog's Twitter page at FlyLocDiva and "Like" Naturally Beautiful Hair on Facebook .
