There is only one you

by Fleurzty on January 31, 2009

And, for us naturals, the truth is this: you are the only one with your hair. We can look at every beautiful head of hair that passes us by and gasp with jealousy, envy and admiration all at once but nothing changes the fact that that hair is as unique to that person as yours [...]

Coconut Protection

by Fleurzty on January 30, 2009

Coconut brings back so many good memories for me. Back in Haiti, I enjoyed coconut beverages on hot summer days with family to cool down and quench our thirst. The little joys you miss when they are gone. What I don’t miss is not being educated about natural resources that are readily available to me. [...]

by Fleurzty on January 26, 2009
