Cooking for Diva's (beginners): Turkey Biscuits Treats

I think it is safe to Say I am no Chef, but I am no small girl either so I eat! :) lol. So yesterday my mom and I were sitting there and I need of a little snack. I went to the kitchen and whipped us up a little snack. So I went to the kitchen only to find we did not have any bread but we did have biscuits. So I popped them in the oven and pulled out the shredded cheese and the sandwich meat. Once the biscuits were ready, I split the biscuits in halves.I put mayonnaise on one side and the shredded cheese on the other. Then I cut the sandwich meat into four pieces applying two pieces to each biscuit. There you have it turkey biscuit treats!
Arouse your taste buds Divas!

Embracing My Natural Hair

Watch "Two strand twist and Bantu knots!" on YouTube

I will start out by saying, "I am a lover of weave." ...drops mic. Ha! I became natural by chance thru my addiction of weave. I ended up finding a hair and a stylist that does great sew ins and before I knew it...I had gotten a yeR worth of sew ins and it had been 12 + months since I last relaxed my hair. Then came invisible parts. I was able to gel my hair down, mold it with hair protectant (morning glory) and not to have any or my hair out and have my hair protected.... I was in love.

I looked around and another year had passed and I only had about 2 inches of relaxed hair left so I cut about an inch of that off. I wasn't strong enough to cut 2 inches at oncce. Even though I never wore my real hair. So eventually I cut all the relaxed hair off. I tried different hair styles some worked and some didnt. Learning new products that work for.my hair is a challenege but I am determined to find the perfect product for my 3c type hair and start embracing my NATURAL HAIR.
