I’ve previously written about my journey moving to the UK and going through the immigration process. This summer I found myself in a citizenship ceremony, so giddy I could not stop cheesing. It was a long, expensive, and stressful process. Almost 8 years had gone by since I’d landed here, and every year I had counted …
A Gentle Reminder – Be Kinder to Yourself
Although I’ve prepared photos for a handful of posts, I haven’t been able to bring myself to write for months. In this cycle of lockdowns, I’ve lost motivation – not just with creating content, but in every aspect. Now, I’m trying to ease back into blogging with the hopes that I’ll get inspired in doing …
A Rambling Update
I have a tendency to set nearly unattainable goals, often with ridiculous timelines, planning every detail and every backup plan. Despite that, the pressure has always given me something to constantly work towards. A respite of sorts from the personal woes that at times taint my focus. However, now, for the first time in years, …
Update
Five months in and I’m just doing my first post of 2016! So much for posting more frequently. I may not have accomplished that goal, but I have thankfully been able to complete a few others on my list. I’ve even started going to the gym! Regarding my hair, there are quite a few reviews …

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 …

Use up the Stash: Update #10 (Mini Reviews Included)
I have a bag of empties that’s been sitting by the door for too long. Apparently that was a failed attempt at motivating myself to post regularly. Here’s my empties for the past few months. Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils Don’t Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel: I saw this in one of Toni Daley’s videos …
What Next?
This is going to be an update of sorts. The string of reviews is getting a bit redundant for me. Not only that, it takes a while to test a product. Unless I absolutely hate it the first time, I use half, if not most, of a product before posting a full review. While I …

Update: Shea Moisture Hair Color System Reddish Blond
*original before and after photo* I’ve waited, perhaps longer than necessary, to do an update on my experience using the Shea Moisture Hair Color System in Reddish Blond. Check out my first post here and on my Instagram for photos in the months following the color. My color has grown out quite a bit in …
