Hello Ladies!
This morning I will be doing a "7 things about me" tag , passed on to me from the fabulous Tinuke over @ Coilybella http://www.coilybella.com/ What I must do is tell 7 things about myself that you my fabulous readers may not know about me.
So here it goes:
1. I am a Muslim women. Who strives to please her lord, daily. I cover my hair each and every time I leave my home with the hijab ( head covering). I was not born into the religion of Al-Islaam, in fact I was raised baptist.
I toke my Shahadah ( Testification of Faith) about 7-8 years ago. And have not looked back since, with no plans on doing so.
2. I am a huuuuuge fan of dreads . And have a strong desire to grow them one day soon. Inshaa Allaah ( godwilling)
3. I am advocate for the education of children. If I could and maybe one day I will be able to. I would open up my home to children who may not have a safe , quiet place to study, do homework, and read and to come and excel!
4. I am a cleaning and neatness fanatic. I can not live around filth and clutter.
5. I love to read, and learn to speak Arabic, fluently.
6. I am seriously afraid of heights....it's serious y'all (lol)
7. I never had my Drivers license. But, have driven and know how to drive. And in 2 weeks I go take my written test...yay!!
Thanks for reading!. I not going to tag anyone, however if any of you fabulous ladies out there would like to share 7 things about yourself that you readers may not know. Feel free to do so, and comment here @ AuNaturale letting us know you did. So that we may visit your page.:))
TAKE CARE & HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!:)))
Hey there Fellow Fabulous Naturals!
I has everyone been since my last post here @AuNaturale. I hope Everyone is doing well. I do apologize for the inconsistency as to posting here , but as I've shared before I was going to not be posting as much. Just from time to time when I feel I have something hair related to share, sales, and product reviews.
As for my hair , I am very happy with the progress it's making. At on point I was considering allowing my hair to grow. But, I quickly realized how much I like shorter hair on me , how it compliments me and my style better, and how easy it is to handle. So I then immediately, cut the sides and back shorter , while leaving the top and front . I really like this look on me. I am still doing my nightly GHE
(Green House Effect) routine with herb infused EVOO, with fabulous results. I am still using the best DC ever used thus far the "luscious locks hair mask" by Karen's Body Beautiful. I plan to give a few more of her products a go, very soon. Stay tuned for reviews on those. I am still using and very pleased with my gel mixture with the base being Eco Styler gel "pink" with the added ingredients of Aloe Vera, Olive oil, and jojoba oil. My Qhemet Biologics Moringa Tree conditioning ghee as my leave in, And my aloe Vera and water spritz. Enjoying each phase of this journey.
As for other things in my life. There has been lots of GREAT! changes in my life. One's That I am very...very...very..excited about. So good... I cant stop smiling as I type this post. Change is good , ladies!. Sometimes, it takes a minute, but when it's your time...it's your time. And, When you feel it from your head to very bottom of your toes. It's one worth smiling about!. Let's just say I am very happy , and beginning to know and actually feel myself worth....It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood ! (LOL)
My health is good!..I am exercising daily. Sometimes I run...sometimes I walk...Sometimes I workout with a video. But, which ever I chose that day, the point is to keep it moving. It's good for the body, mind and soul...It really is. Iam truly grateful for where Allaah has brought me , and what he has brought me out of....which was darkness. There is simply to much to live for...just to much life....no room for darkness.
My children are exceling , healthy, happy and well !. My oldest Daughter is focused, and college bound. Sending of for her college info,doing well in school taking college prep courses... She is 14 , there are many other vices she could be mixed up in at her age , boys, drugs, skipping school, running away, being disregardful, pregnant, this list could go on and on (lol). But, she is just the very oposite. Shes is thinking of becoming a Doctor, a Muslim one at that. Shes is still deciding exactly which type of doctor she wants to become, but she an idea.
My middle daughter, has made the merit role and was student of the month!. She is a veeery hard worker, and very focused. She shared her goals with me before the beginning of the school year and, thus far she has reached those goals and beyond! , a possible lawyer here, or a teacher.
My youngest daughter...is doing very well. She has a vast vocabulary for her age of 6, very bright young lady. Another doctor here.
And My boys...My oldest son, made star student out of his entire grade , they pick one girl and one boy. Very bright very interested in science and animals. Thinking of becoming an veterinarian. My youngest son is in 4th grade and reading on a 8th grade reading level. And he made merit roll! He is thinking of becoming a judge.
All I ask is for my children to have direction and goals....AT ALL TIMES. So you see there is soooo much for me to be excited about in my life. That it takes up all the room..and leaves no room for darkness.
Thanks for reading , and as I continue to smile.......remember to stay....Naturally Fabulius!:))))

Also, For my KBB ( Karen body beautiful ) fans out there be sure to check her site. KBB's products are a bit pricey but I am finding to be well worth every single penny especially my holy grail DC "Luscious Locs Hair Mask". I plan to buy her leave- in conditioners and her butters very soon . Once I do look out for a review on those products. For those who are interested in her products she is always running weekly specials, again because of her prices this is when I buy from her.

Hello Ladies!
As many of you may be aware October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last month or so I shared my story here http://aunaturale007.blogspot.com/2010/10/breast-cancer-awarness.html which lead me to being a advocate for all types of cancer, especially cancers that affect women. Cancer of all types has effected me in my 41 years of living , as you will read by clicking the link above. I can not express enough the importance of breast cancer awareness. As stated once before breast cancer awareness is to be every single month and every day of the year, for the rest of our lives, god willing. As long as my lord allows I will continue to support breast cancer awareness in any way my creator allows. Ladies, if your at the age to get mammograms and self exams please do your self a huge favor and do so, immediately.
If you haven't reached that age or haven't any health concerns which will prompt you to start mammograms early , like I had to ( per my doctor). Please...please...please do your self exams regularly. REMEMBER EARLY DETECTION IS KEY, AND SAVES LIVES! Below I will share a bit on Breast cancer, as well as post the link for you ladies to view for yourselves.
BREAST CANCER INFORMATION
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.
If you're worried about developing breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns is to get as much information as possible. In this section you'll find important background information about what breast cancer is and how it develops.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both of the breasts. Breast cancer usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer). Although African-American women have a slightly lower incidence of breast cancer after age 40 than Caucasian women, they have a slightly higher incidence rate of breast cancer before age 40. However, African-American women are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age. Breast cancer is much less common in males; by comparison, the disease is about 100 times more common among women. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among men in the United States in 2009.
