Autumn has officially started, however, temperatures aren’t exactly plunging here in the UK, at least not to the level we consider normal. Blame it on global warming, I say! After a surprising Summer with extremely high temperatures, it looks like Autumn didn’t want to stay behind and graced us with many warm sunny days. I’m not complaining and you shouldn’t too if you’re on the same boat, however, this weather can […]

Mahogany Naturals is a British natural hair care brand that I’ve had my eye on practically since the start of my blogging journey.

I’ll be honest after 3,5 years blogging and being a fact-based junkie these days, there isn’t much I read online that is news to me.

It can be about anything, as […]

DIY hair care has increased considerably over the last years, not only in the natural hair community but everywhere.
