(They forgot to put the cranberry sauce in this photo!)

It’s Thanksgiving everyone! If your not from the US or Canada then you may have never heard of Thanksgiving. Well, it is a holiday when families gather to give thanks and indulge in a delicious meal.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the time I get to spend with my family. I also love all the food. This year my family had a very small Thanksgiving, but the food was absolutely delicious. Insha ALLAH, we will have a much bigger one next year by inviting more family members.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, it’s a wonderful time to be thankful.

Now let’s toast with some eggnog.

Got a new theme do you like it? If you liked my old theme don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere! I’m still going to use it, I’m just trying something new.

Well actually my hair has been natural for almost all my life. I’ve have only gotten four relaxers in my entire life. I got my first relaxer when I was 11 and I got 3 more until I was about 16. It took a year for me to transition back to my natural hair. So basically I have been wearing my hair in it’s natural state since I was 17.

It was only just recently that I decided to stay natural. My decision came from watching so many natural, black women on YouTube. I was inspired by their reasons for going natural and after learning of all the harmful effects of relaxers, I decided going natural was the right way to go. I am also trying to grow my hair very, very long. And I believe that hair grows best in it’s natural state.

I am going to post more entries on my “hair journey” to keep you up to date.

I love to see black models. You don’t really see many gracing the cover of magazines. But I found two magazines that had black models on the cover. Both featured Chanel Iman and Jordan Dunn.

I wish more magazines would showcase black beauty. So black girls can have someone they can identify with.

Black beauty is diverse! We don’t all look like the more euro centric Beyonce and Halle Berry.

Okay this post may freak out my male readers. So if you don’t like hearing about menstruation then don’t read this post!

One day when I was on my period, I realized how much I hated having it. I can’t stand it!! The changing of tampons and pads, the fear of leaks, the knowledge that tampons have been bleached, and spending all that money on tampons and pads is driving me crazy. So far as to make me wish I was a boy! And is it just me or does it seem like tampons are getting more expensive.

I am fed up with this nonsense! I am going to try the DivaCup (if you aren’t familiar with this cup watch the video above). I am drawn to it because it has all the advantages of a tampon but I can wear it for up to 12 hours; it is latex, plastic, and BPA free; and one cup lasts for a year. Talk about having a happy period. If I start using this thing my period won’t be so dreaded occurrence. So Insha ALLAH, I will buy it and give it a try. I will write a review about it in the coming months.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥
