The first challenge

Toshia-Shaw-Lacy

The first challenge was soo much fun! Immediately upon placing the hair pins in my hair I felt regal, I felt like an Egyptian Goddess...

Especially after putting on the dress and makeup.  The location just added to those feelings. I was surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and numbering, photos, statutes, and themes.  It was amazing! I felt my ancestors in my bones.  I promise you I did not want to take it off. In fact I rocked that headband all day! LOL  

I did my hair with the mango & lime products prior to the shoot, and my hair is still smelling like fruit and essential oils! I so enjoy the oil that came with our box, my locs have a nice sheen to them and there is no buildup on the scalp.  I will be purchasing it from now on!  The shampoo woke up my scalp, and the tingling sensation was welcomed.  It really got into the shaft of my locs  which very few shampoos can do trust me.  However, I already used up half the bottle! LOL

Finally got the box!

Greetings fellow natural beauties!

Ok so I finally got my box of goodies! Yaayyy! There are some incredible items here in this box.  I can honestly say I got so excited upon opening this box. I mean its not just the contest in general, but the chance to be a part of something which allows me to be myself, my true self. Not someone elses' vision of what I should look like. No impossible standard, that I cannot obtain.  No stress, just a chance to uphold and celebrate my God given hair.  I am truly thankful!
