Call Her Candice

Hey girls!  I've been receiving countless emails and messages asking if I'm still taking the CURLS Blissful Lengths Liquid Hair Vitamin and the answer is, OF COURSE.  Obviously when I first started taking the supplement and noticed the quick changes, I was fast to share.  That's how it is with anything really, isn't it?  There weren't many reviews out there and I knew people had questions so I jumped to providing some answers based on my experience.  Since my last… Read more

I've never known the actual date I Big Chopped but thanks to Facebook, a photo popped up this morning with a date.  I can't believe I never thought to check Facebook over the years but I'm also not a huge fan of Facebook these days so that makes sense.  Anyways, today is my BigChopaversary!!  Let's go through the years and see how this major decision changed things for me... MARCH 17, 2005 I went to Hair Cuttery and had the stylist cut all my hair off.  She had to have … Read more

Last night I took some time to really dive into my Blog archives and re-read some of my much older posts.  I like to do this every now and then just to remember a time or phase in my life.  It's therapeutic in a sense because I can remember things that were going on in my life then and be grateful for the growth that has come with time.  Anyways, as I looked over my posts one thing I realized is that my own "Natural Hair Journey" pretty much ceased around the time I beg… Read more

Writing this post has dawned on me many times but I always pushed it away because it seemed pointless.  I do so little to my daughter's hair and their Hair Regimen is so simple that I thought no one would really care.  Clearly I was wrong because you guys ask all the time!  LOL.  Well I finally read the writing on the wall (or Instagram posts) and I'm sharing all the deets behind how I care for their hair starting with Kennedy. WASH DAY : Not Weekly.  Every 2-3 Weeks. I don'… Read more

Well, I have come across yet another brand that I'm really excited to review for you guys.  I am constantly asked about different products that may work for different hair types and sometimes I have the answer, sometimes I don't.  There are certain types of products that I like for my own hair but I know that as a resource, finding products that may work great for other hair types is important as well.  So, if ever you feel like your need isn't being addressed please let m… Read more

I've been itching for some change over the past YEAR I would say.  I'm not sure what has kept me from taking the plunge but if I don't do something at this point, I may have a mental meltdown.  Later this month, I will be attending The Naturalista Hair Show so I'm trying to narrow down and decide what I want so that I can rock my flyness at the event.  I do know that I want  need to have my cut re-shaped.  It's been over a year since it's been shaped.  Not to be… Read more

Last week TGIN was super sweet and sent over their entire collection to the MyCandiShoppe HQ for review.  Well, I tested and used them then used them again so that I can bring you guys a complete review of each product.  I'm sure you have seen these products all over and may have a question or two.  Just keep scrolling down, read my thorough review and hopefully those questions will be answered. MOISTURE RICH SULFATE FREE SHAMPOO : I am always hesitant to test shampoos because I ju… Read more

We are here to end this recap on a high note, and a VERY high one at that.  The Blogger Branding Brunch was the most anticipated event of the weekend for myself.  Sure I came to party, to network and shop a little at the expo but the Blogger Branding Brunch was the reason for my 3+ hour hike from Northern Virginia.  And, it was worth every minute of travel time, every penny of the money I budgeted towards this trip. The morning of the Blogger Branding Brunch, I received an alert from… Read more

Now that I've fully recovered it's time I share my experience from the Return of the Curls Natural Hair Weekend with you.  Seeing as full recovery has taken me a week, you can only imagine how much there is to talk about.  I attended every single event held that weekend from the Pre-Party to the Blogger Branding Brunch so I've decided to break this recap down into three parts so as not to overwhelm you.  As you read this I want you feeling like, wow I need to be there nex… Read more

It was about this time last year that I realized how influential my hair journey had become to so many women.  On Instagram, many people wanted to know what I was using in my hair or how exactly I styled my hair.  Before I knew it, my community was growing in numbers as my Curls were featured on various Natural Hair Accounts.  It wasn't too long after that the products were being sent to me for review from companies.  It was a dream come true and my husband was over the moon, LOL… Read more
