Keke Palmer: Naturalista UPDATE

Hey there family!
As you know from a previous installment of Naturalista SHOUTOut we love, love, love the young and talented Miss Keke Palmer!
NOW she is going prime-time. Well sorta, day-time! lol

BET has just announced that Miss Keke and Judge Mathis have been chosen to host a daily talk show.
"The Keke Palmer Project" (working title) will join three other daily syndicated talk shows at BET: The Wendy Williams Show and The Queen Latifah Show, both of which were picked up for second windows on the network, as well as Telepictures' upcoming talk show The Real (which debuts in the fall).
The series will begin production in Los Angeles in the summer and target millennials.
The show, BET said, is the next logical step for Palmer, who is very connected with her fans via social media. "I like to read quotes that touch on how I am feeling. If I am dealing with confusion, I will read quotes about clarity and peace of mind," Palmer said in a release announcing the news Monday. "I started posting these quotes on my Twitter page, and fans responded so positively! I realized that many of them were dealing with similar issues, and the quotes helped to open up a genuine dialogue between us."


If picked up Keke will become the youngest talk show host in over 20 years.
 I know that's right!

Potty Training in 3 Days? Gimmick or Nah?

Hey Hair Mommas!
This article is about something all of us moms have had our battles with! POTTY TRAINING...
Is it time to potty? Most 2-year-olds can't stay dry all day and all night, but many are ready to begin the potty training process. Once you get under way, watch for these signs she's making progress:

• Willingness to use the potty when asked or on her own, even if she sits on it without any results.
• Being able to tell you when she needs to use the potty. (Unfortunately, she sometimes won't notice until just a second or two before she wets.)
• Having longer periods of dryness in the day and waking up from a nap dry.

The hardest part about potty training is to not push your child too hard, a tactic that almost always backfires. Praise successes and don't make a big issue out of accidents. Don't start on night-time training until after she can make it through the day without any slipups.


Now, there are some manuals and guides for sale on the topic... And your older relatives may have a tip or two, but as a daycare mom I have found only one "Potty Manual" that I would even consider trying! It was created by a mother of four who is also a daycare mom.
You just have to see it to believe it! Will I actually get the program??? IDK...
Tell me what you think!

Naturalista ShoutOUT: Special Report!

I come to you this night so upset! I just found out that one of my hair care idols 

Domineque Banks, aka longhairdontcare2011 on YouTube, has passed away due to complications from lupus.

 Her videos are so inspiring and she was very artsy and spunky, which I can definitely relate to!

 I pray that her loyal fans and loved ones are comforted in this deeply sad time. Our prayers are with you all! 

♥♥WE LOVE YOU Domineque! R.I.P ♥♥

STAY TUNED! 

Switching Lanes...AGAIN

(^^Me with cold rods^^)

Hello People!
Did you miss me???
I hope so! I missed you all  -warm hug - LOL!
So I'm gonna jump right into it! The title says it all! I am switching lanes AGAIN!
Last time I checked in I was recovering from a broken ankle, figuring out ways to spend more time with my family, mixing our own hair oils and gels and finding better ways to become healthy.

WELP!
I am still up to those things and MORE! Now I am a co-provider for a daycare! Yes ma'am. I am getting paid to care for children and to teach them! Its not what I pictured myself doing, but hey! I LOVE IT!
I get to be around some of the most innocent creatures Gad has created and everyday they teach me something new about myself.

Aside from being a new daycare mom, I am also still on my fitness journey and losing weight! I call it the "GET IT RIGHT GET IT TIGHT" mission! (hashtagged on my Instagram account, [badge to the right])

AND...

I will be creating a new reoccurring section called "Just Me" where I will be posting pics of my weight loss journey! It should be awesome!

I also have growth updates, a new regimen, new stylists to showcase, and cooking up new topics for tabs including one featuring smoothies and new product updates!

SO much to do, so little time to do it in!
Like anything else in this crazy world I am changing, but for the better! And I promise to let you guys in on it more! I've got to get better at blogging more bc I want to share things with you guys. YOU GUYS make this page what it is and possibly could be!

-raises cup of tea-
HERE'S TO THE BLOG-A-SPHERE!


PEACE PPL
see you later this week!
