Video: One Man’s opinion on Natural Hair vs Relaxed Hair

This young lady asks this young man some good questions. His answers are HONEST, so listen to his opinion of women with natural hair, and they are just his opinions on the subject. There are other videos out there, but this is a young man, and his opinions matter too.

Good Eats: Summer Salad

This fresh summer salad fed 8 children! 6 of my own and 2 guests.  Some children cringe when they hear about salads and lettuce and things.

Lock 911!

Well I told you about the issues I was having with my hair line and a few thinner locks that needed combining or reinforcing. First, I’d like to say that I am going to the Dr. in hopes of finding a resolve for this horrible pain and aching and other health issues I’ve had for several months now…back to my hair…

My Hair Line !!!!

You may not be able to tell from this little pic, but for as long as I can remember, I have never had a strong or very full hair line. It was always kind of sporadic, long in some places and thin in others. The very front, right at the peak, always looks nice and when grown out, it looks full, but when I was relaxed, I could never get it to lay down, and now that I am natural…well I encounter the same issue. Not that I want my …

It’s Autumn Already!!!

Hello to all! It has been a while! Marriage with 7 children, a brand new coffee shop, continuing a recording career, and even dealing with a few health issues has kept me away, but I hope that the forthcoming posts will be well worth the waiting! Stay tuned this week as I add new photos, information, and recipes.

Blessings, YASU
