CELEBRITY HAIR VIXEN: ALYSIA ROGERS

Wedge:
Damita! I thought you were gonna play with MY frog?
Damita:
Your frog ain't jumpin' in my direction!
Damita:
There's a new tadpole in town.

          Who remembers the classic movie Class Act from 1992? I may have been young at the time but I still remember I was too happy to see a dark skin black woman portrayed as the object of interest in the movie. More importantly, I loved the way the actress, Alysia Rogers, who played the role of Damita, always had her hair in fresh, feathered, bang to the side, straight from the salon in your momma's kitchen, curling ironed straight hair. 
Her hair was so thick and beautiful back then that I had to see how she (and her hair) are holding up these days. To my surprise, Alysia Rogers is still beautiful, and still has even more beautiful hair. I'm talking about long, healthy, locks of hair that I would love to play with.
According to Alysia's social media page, she is 100% natural but wears her hair in a straight state. In one post, she posted a image of her natural curls and stated she was working on bring her natural curls back to life. I take it that she is aware of heat damage. 
Despite the minimal heat damage, her hair is looks great. I recall her stating that she does deep condition her hair, but she did not list the products in which she uses. When her hair is straight, it seems to be the silkiest form of strands that make you want to reach out and touch it. I would have to say, she is one of few celebrities that I keep on eye on as far as hair goes.

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.

TRUMP TWEETS A MESSAGE FOR AMERICANS AMID DACA SCANDAL

With the rest of the United States still trying to come to grips with the devastation that occurred one week ago in Texas by Hurricane Harvey, Trump takes to twitter and gives a labor day tweet for Americans. That may not seem like a big deal but for about 800,000 DACA recipients, it comes as a slap in the face. What is DACA? DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It's American immigration policy founded by former president, Barack Obama in June 2012. DACA allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Well, "All-American" president, Donald Trump, wants to do away with the program as he feels America should be ran by Americans. Meaning, only American items to be made by American workers. That's interesting, considering numerous women Trump has been with and married to did not come to this country born American...
