Hello Everyone,Back in 1998 I began my dread journey and felt unsure of how to do it. I saw a website promoting wax and thought well I'll try it. You gotta understand that I just got through with…Continue

Stretching My EarLobes
I was wondering if anyone here can suggest what gauge to stretch my ears because my reasons for wanting to do this is because I can only wear gold and gold is expensive and I am in need another earring for one of my pierced ears that is going to close. I can't afford another gold earring so I thought it would be a good idea to enlarge the hole in each of my earrlobes a bit so that I can make polymer clay earrrings to fit. I am not talking about doing it myself but just wondering what number…See More

Apology From The Heart
Posted on October 7, 2012 at 5:00pm 2 Comments 5 Likes
Hello Everyone,
I took some time out to make a couple of videos apologizing to a beautiful soul that I wanted to say sorry for saying hurt things,and trying to control what decisions this person was making for that person's life path. Changes can be a challenging lesson. I know that I have to walk through my fears and face my challenges. I hope truly that this wonderful person will forgive me.
I had a perception of how things were and then everything changed within an…

Posted on July 9, 2012 at 6:01pm 8 Comments 3 Likes
Today marks the 15th year of the journey into being a freeform dreadie. I still believe that I will have my locks for as long as I live. I have noticed that I still get the dirty looks and outright rude comments. It all just makes me stronger because the people who act in this manner still have many areas of their life that they are unhappy with and instead of focusing on better themselves they have distractions to keep them from growing to be a better soul on this planet.
I have…

When I was a little girl in this big world I didn't believe everything my parents or other grown-ups told me.
My mom told me I had the type of hair that just doesn't grow. And praised my brother for his thick coarse hair and how much faster his hair grew than mine and how much longer his hair was as compared to mine.
But then I questioned her about her assumptions. How could she say such things when every time she would comb my hair yanking at it I would see tons of hair in…

Today I celebrate my 14yr. freeform dreadlocks anniversary. In 1998 I began my journey into becoming more of my natural self by leaving the combs, brushes,commercial shampoos,etc... behind me. I have learned quite a bit about my hair that I was not aware of. Mainly that I don't need to do anything but keep them clean and they will form all on their own.
I have dealt with a lot of negativity in the beginning but…

- Hey. I want to just let my hair grow out and let it do what it do. But I'm kinda worried that it may become painful/uncomfortable/unmanageable. But I'm really into the idea of not separating and just going completely freeform and wild. Any thoughts?

Ethon O'Brien said… yeah i know what you mean, i use almost all of those. except for the peppermint. the rosemary and sage i use with the baking soda wash along with alot of the other more pungent smelling herbs like marjoram, savory, parsley, and a few others i cant name off the top of my head haha. i use the green and spearmint tea along with the vinegar so that the sweeter smelling ones are the last ones in there. feels amazing on the scalp

vip supporters☮MamaKittyLove said… Hi! I was just wondering.. I saw that you make jewelry! My husband and I started making beads and such and decided to start making necklaces as well. What do you use as a clasp for your necklaces? We're not sure whether to make our own out of the polymer clay or somehow make some out of wire. Your work is beautiful btw <3 :)
