Like many, I’ve been guilty in the past of setting new year’s resolutions and not fulfilling them. So, I’m not going to call it that any longer. I do, however, have some goals, which are more general. Better my health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Take time to enjoy the people, hobbies and things I …
Why the Hiatus…Again?
This keeps happening lately, huh? Well, this year has been an interesting experience to say the least. I’ve accomplished more than I than I thought I would and lost more than I could have imagined. Kinks of Nature has undoubtedly been reflective of my highs and lows throughout the year. There were times I just …
Review: Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa (Covent Garden, London)
Salon Review: On Saturday, I went to Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa for a cut with Subrina. Probably, the first thing I’d point out was that it was extremely hard to get in contact with anyone there to make the appointment. I called the listed number for 3 days and never got anyone on the …
Salon Hunting
Lately, I’ve been bored with my hair and not giving it the most attention. I’m not even sure when I last deep conditioned; rinse-outs have become my closest ally.

Where am I?
I never make personal post on Kinks of Nature, but this is certainly an exception and hopefully a motivation for others. I am now in London! It was a long and hard road getting here, but I’m finally doing it. Two years ago I said I would do it, and now I’m here. On Monday, …
One Year Ago
One year ago, I started Kinks of Nature with the simple goal of recording my own hair journey and little quirky stories. I am thankful for my readers and followers. It is for that reason that I continue to post even when time is lacking in my day. I know I have not been that …
Why “Kinks of Nature”?
Besides “Kinks of Nature” having an interesting ring to it and the input of ladies of the CurlyNikki Forums (thanks!), I chose the name because of the duality of its meaning. Kinks, for the purposes here, can be defined as quirks or idiosyncrasies of one’s personality. Kinks can also be used in reference to the …
