Length Check!

 
 
Its a little disheveled but you can sorta see where my hair has grown. I like to take my pics without make-up and in my regular clothes. I feel like extra factors make things look different and may present a false representation of my image. Here I am...
IN THE RAW! lol

Healthy Living Report: Diseased Lobster on the RISE!

Hey Momma's,


Just was getting online this morning... and up pops this disgusting picture of a diseased lobster (link to MSN) out of the fisheries of Maine.  EWWW

Image: A lobster with a diseased shell (© University of Rhode Island)Lemme tell you people, this thing is ugly. I was immediately concerned bc I just so happen to love seafood. I buy a lot of seafood, including lobster on a regular basis. This type of thing only furthers my belief in the governments "Depopulation" efforts. Most conspiracy theorist are on board and know all about it. I don't claim to be a conspiracy theorist, but you have to admit sometimes, it all makes too much sense to ignore.



This does't just concern me bc of the lobster, but the overall environment they live in...
 Has the disease spread to other shellfish? Is the disease capable of traveling long distances from the Golf of Maine to other fisheries connected to that body of water? around the world? Who knows. All we know is what they tell us, and usually that is very tainted. Do your research people and share anything you know with us here at HNNY.

Leave any links or comments below. Any new information about this disease is greatly appreciated!

Special Report: Beyonce CUTS Her Hair!

STOP the hair presses people!!!
 
This is NOT a drill honey! That's right! Beyoncé a.k.a. Mrs. Carter has cut off all of her signature blonde tresses for a cute pixie cut. I found her pictures on Instagram this afternoon and was blown away! I love it though, I must say. A change for Miss "Who Runs The World" is looong overdue. Now is this a big chop??? I don't know, but what I do know is that if Beyoncé goes natural, I WOULD FALL OUT! Literally. We all know and love her lil' sis Solange who rocks her afro so effortlessly. I mean I would die....So very serious about that! ((  LOL  ))

Naturalista ShoutOut V: The Ross Family

 What can one say about the fabulous Miss Diana Ross?
 
This woman is beyond phenomenal and after over 40 years of being on top of the music business her portfolio is huge! We loved her music and her acting and her philanthropic efforts across the globe. She has topped the charts with her pop vocals and starred in classic movies whether she is the black Dorothy in "The Wiz" or portraying blues legend Billie Holiday in "Lady Sings the Blues".
 
Personally one of the moments that stand out in my mind is when Diana Ross touched Lil Kim's boob at the MTV Music Awards a few years ago. Priceless.... Although much, much more comes to mind when I think of this music icon, her fashion, her family and her stupendous natural tresses come to the forefront for me! I follow her daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross on Instagram. ANNND still to this day sing her songs and watch her and Michael in "The Wiz" from time to time. Her legacy is great and her children are just as awesome as she. They also rock the natural hair and support green efforts around the world. We all have come to know Miss Ross for keeping a head full of her own NATURAL hair! (well most of the time she admitted to Oprah lol)
 
 Although Tracee is probably the most famous Ross sibling, her brothers and sisters can be seen rubbing elbows with Hollywood elites and attending A-list events with their mom. Check out some of my fav pics of her and her kids through out the years! Rock on y'all! (<<

Family Movie Night: 101 Dalmatians

Hey Naturalistas!

    This weeks FMN (Family Movie Night) entry comes via Netflix once again. I love it! It's only nine dollars a month and you get loads of movies and shows right at your finger tips. One might argue that its a great alternative to cable, but that's another post lol.

   This past week end we watched one of my favorite movies of my childhood! 101 Dalmatians! It wasn't the cartoon, no. I thought the cartoon was for older kids bc of the animation and subject matter. I remember when I was young, I watched the cartoon version and was bored until I tried watching it a couple of years later and was able to sit through it. I tried to imagine myself as a three year old and that's what I came up with. Plus! The movie has puppies! Now who doesn't like puppies (giggle).


   In case you didn't know, the plot is based around a single man, Roger, and a single woman, Anita. Both of them live in London, England where they meet each other by chance and discover that they both have an affinity for Dalmatians. They later get married and Anita's boss, Cruela,  soon learns that Purdy and Pongo (the dogs) are expecting puppies. Cruela then hatches a plan to capture the puppies to turn them into a coat!  CRUEL-a is right, what a horrible woman. The puppy parents and their woodland friends do all they can to get the puppies back and eventually stop Cruela and her henchmen.

The movie featured Glenn Close as Cruela de Vil. She's this wealthy, obnoxious diva who has a fur fetish, to say the least. She loves fur people! Now the people at PITA may not like it, but that's her drug of choice. (lol)  She reminds of an early, erratic, slightly more crazy version of Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada".  Jeff Daniels also graced the screen as Roger and Joely Richardson played his wife, Anita.  Also the wonderful Joan Plowright played Nanny, Anita's childhood caregiver and Hugh Laurie (the lead character in TV's "House") was Jasper, de Vil's henchman.

The puppies were so cute! MJ liked those parts the most. Of course Noah was off doing his own thing, but he sat down from time to time through out the movie to catch a few frames.
I enjoyed it too!


Next week its "James and the Giant Peach" ! 

What do you think??? Is there a movie that you used to watch as a child that you want your children to watch??? Why not start a movie night!
Lemme know what you think! Comments below:)

My Angel's Wash Day

Hey People!

 This post comes to you via my little angel M.J.!!!!

  She is my inspiration for many of the articles I write. Her hair is massive and so is her wonderful smile. And child, you know she's as bright as a tanning bed, because momma don't play about book learning' .....LOL

  Naw, but seriously my princess is great. I could go on and on about her massive vocabulary, or her intelligence or her funny imagination or her wonderful personality or her overall giant cutey pie-ness, but I won't! HEHEHE
 Yes, although she is going through her 3-4 year old temper tantrum slash smart mouth phase, she is still very even tempered and sweet as pie. We get nonstop compliments walking, well, anywhere we are! lol I never get enough of them!
Last year I showed her length and hair wash regimen in a post that got a lot of attention! 

This time I am showing a pictorial. We have switched back to "Just For Me" Hair Milk by Soft-n-Beautiful. Her regimen is basically the same except now we wash her hair in the kitchen sink. I lay her down flat on the counter over a towel and let her head hang into the sink. I cradle her head in my left hand and use the right hand to wash mostly. Its a little bit better than the tub although, in the tub its a little more convenient for obvious reasons.

The pictorial is pretty much self explanatory LOL

(Clockwise from top left) M.J. before the wash, the products used for the whole process, after the wash, and finally a length check.)



What do you think? Does your little one have a hair care regimen??? Lets share tips! Comments welcome below :D



LOOK OUT FOR MORE PICTORIALS STARING M.J. in the future!
