…IT’S MY BLOGIVERSARY!!! Woo-woooooop! That’s right y’all… today I celebrate one year of ToBNatural|luvtobnatural.com. Whew! What a year. I had no idea I would get as much love as what I have experienced especially in the past six months or so. I’m so happy that people are inspired by the content here on the blog as well as what I present through social media which is ultimately an extension of the blog. I love to express myself through writing and I love hair- what better way to fuse the two than to start a blog! To kick things off, I hooked up with my friend Chérmelle, The Coffeetographer™, and had some photos taken to help create a polished look for the site. It was a must that I rep my home, Brooklyn, so we chose DUMBO for the locale with the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop… The blog was started while…
This week’s mani is brought to you by my favorite colors {as of last year}: coral and teal. I acquired this coral polish at a friend’s wardrobe & accessory sale last summer. I had to have it!

I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to do an accent nail this time around but I went ahead and tried a little something. A dotting tool would’ve been ideal for this design but I made do by holding the brush on an angle, using the edge ever so carefully to form dots {or as close I could get to ’em!} in a diagonal pattern… Hey, if I…
Hey my peoples! Welp, after all the back and forth about what I was gonna do with this hair of mine, I finally settled on doing Marley Twists and I am SO excited to start styling these babies! I have a how-to video on the way but I know some of you may have some questions about the process so I’ve put this together for ya… How long did it take you? Well, I had a whole lot goin’ on so it wound up taking parts of two days. Hair used: Afro Marley Braid by Janet Collection Number of packs: Hard to say. I bought three fresh packs of hair but also washed & reused some leftover hair that I’ve had for a while which I’ve used for updos as well as my last set of twists. The old hair would probably make up about four packs so I’d say…
