Mixed Chicks Hair

Au naturel
As most of you may know- I’m a mixed chick. My mom is white and my dad is black.  It was a struggle growing up. My mom didn’t know what to do with my hair.  Often times, she put it in braids.  
 If I wore it curly, my hair would poof up!

Me & Mommy


 For years, I’ve traveled from store to store, trying to find the best product for my locks.  Recently, I was given samples of the “Mixed Chicks” hair products.
 It is a simple three step treatment for those with curly hair: shampoo, conditioner and leave-in-conditioner.


So—I decided to give it a try.


This is how you likely see me on television—hair pressed out and straight.


I started with the shampoo. As you can see—it works up a good lather.  


Next step-  the deep conditioner.  It felt a little oily but it seemed to moisturize my curls.
After I rinsed out my hair, I put in the leave-in-conditioner.


 So here is the end result.  It defined some of my curls but not all. :(  After over a decade of pressing my hair for television, some of my curls have soften. However, I was hoping the product would shape my curls a little bit better.


Needless to say—I would give this product two thumbs up!  My hair was moisturized- something my locks needed!

God's Greater Purpose


Thanks Christina Vazquez for the picture!
As many of you know, I am a field reporter!  So instead of working at an office, I work outside. Despite rain, heat, or snow-- the news never stops!
This week--I was REPORTING LIVE on the beach and WOW WAS  IT WINDY! I think my face clearly shows how I felt at the moment.

It’s part of the reason why I moved to South Florida—for the milder weather! No more ice storms for me! But no matter the weather forecast—I can put a smile on my face knowing God has a greater purpose in my life. I have joy knowing I am carrying out the plans God has for me.


This week at Potential Church, Pastor Troy Gramling echoed this scripture, Philippians 1:6 “I am certain that God, who began the good work within you will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns”
Whatever your dreams might be—know that with God you can carry it out!  My prayer for you is that you continue the good work God has started in you!
