Hey y’all! I never made a formal announcement here on the blog but, since last month, I’ve been a regular contributor to Natural Hair Rules!!!â„¢. Awesommme! đŸ˜‰ My most recent piece deals with winter natural hair care as it pertains to coconut oil. Many of us use this emollient in our regimen but have been taught to put the use of it on hold during the colder months. Well, this article gives you five ways you can still use your coconut oil even when it gets chilly. Click the graphic below to check it out! While you’re there, head over to my first contribution on length retention! Enjoy! xoxo Toia B.

Of course, I had to represent for the BK! Here’s what I did… This leather/faux leather combo jacket was one of many gems I walked away with from an event organized by super stylish thrifter Afroista at Buy the Bag. Won it in a contest. Wooot! Hat: H&M (similar) | Scarf: H&M (love this!) | Jacket: (Thrifted) Bebe | Shirt: Old, Gap (very close) | Jeans: Old Navy | Boots: Target (pretty close) At about fourteen weeks pregnant, I was tired and beginning to… expand (LOL)!
