CELEBRITY HAIR: KANDYSE McCLURE

Never heard of Kandyse McClure? Well I knew of her since I first seen her in the 2002 movie "Carrie." She played the character Sue. You know, the one with the beautiful curly natural hair that made her stand out from the other girls. Well, yea that's her.  She also was known for her role playing Anastasia Dualla on the Sci Fi Channel's television program Battlestar Galactica.

To me Kandyse is absolutely stunning. She is one of the most beautiful African American women I have seen. Puts me in the mind of Kerri Washington. Kandyse McClure is pure African. Born in Durban, South Africa.

"I danced so hard I arrived with straight hair and left with a head full of curls."

Her natural curls give her a exotic look that is the pure beauty in our African features. We have features that stand out like no other.

Her hair appears to be in the 3a range. She also seems to enjoy a lot of wash-n-gos with some type of gel to keep the curls intact without any springy ones sticking up, like I would normally get. In a bio I read of her, she talked about how growing up in S.A, she would either be considered black or white. There was no in between there. She explained the struggle it was as they classified her as  "colored but other." They were teaching her to accept whites and to fear dark colored. That was one reason she wanted to branch away and find who she really was. This was all judged by her hair type. Cruel world.

below are more pictures. hopefully she appears on the big screen in something that will put her up there with the other stars.

SUNDAY DINNER: HAITIAN RICE AND PEACE WITH SALMON

I had never tried Salmon. Never liked it. Well, that was because I never tried it. Hmm. Nonetheless, I finally gave in and had my first taste of this delicious dish about three months ago and fell in love with it. I do not know much about the fish but I do know that they are bred in fresh water, go to the ocean for a bit but return to the fresh waters to reproduce. Salmon is known as one of the worlds healthiest foods due to it's rich content of Omega-3 and protein. I will make another post about the benefits of Salmon but this post is about Sunday Dinner. Along with the Salmon that yes I will fry ( it will not kill me to have fried food every now and then.), I am also having Haitian style rice and peas. The classic dish in every Haitian home. The peas in the rice with the hint of mushrooms offer a delightful taste to your taste buds. This will be my first time actually trying this recipe but I know it will turn out better than expected.

COCONUT OIL TREATMENT

Dear December...Day 1 Keeping it simple. Coconut oil treatment to add moisture and shine to my hair. I want that strength, elasticity back in my strands. To view step by step on what exactly to do, follow my other pre-poo routine ( Pre-poo for softness ). For this round, I'm only using coconut oil, about a spoonful of olive oil, shea butter, and some cinnamon oil mixture. Planning on letting it set on my hair for about an hour. Rinse, shampoo, then condition. Most likely I will dry wrap my hair to put it up in a high bun for work tomorrow.

BOW WOW CHALLENGE: FUNNIEST MEMES

Once again, rapper/actor Shad Moss (Bow Wow/ Lil Bow wow) was caught "insta-lying" again, which created a challenge called "#BowWowChallenge" by social media. It all started with Bow Wow posting a picture about him catching a flight to NYC. The picture he posted was of a private jet and a fancy car outside of it, pretty much indicating that he was about to hop on it. It all went down hill when a fan of his happened to be following Bow Wow's post on IG and saw he posted he was on a private jet (though he didn't state it directly). Once the coach passenger noticed Bow Wow was lying, he took a picture and uploaded to social media, which then prompted a mass influx of people searching the internet to find where Bow Wow had stolen the picture from. Ultimately, they found it and started calling Bow Wow out on his lies. Even rapper, 50 Cent took part in the challenge. LOL
