Who's Who at Savvy Brown

Bringing the Who’s Who Series back, and with a fresh face to the blogosphere: Savvy Brown. I am so glad I came across her site, as I see nothing but success in her future. Enough said, check out her responses and be sure to visit her site and take part in her current giveaway!

I understand you just launched your blog. What prompted you to start blogging? Any challenges so far?

My friends and family were REALLY getting tired of me going on about how bad half the products in their beauty cabinets, laundry rooms and kitchens were. And my hubby was REALLY tired of me turning the bathroom into a lab. So I figured if I turned my little “healthy” obsession into a blog maybe
someone else would listen! LOL!

What is one thing about you that you would love to share with me and other members of the blogosphere?

Just do SOMETHING! Change the way you wash your hair, or your dishes or
your food for that matter! Just change 1 thing in your life for the better, and you’d be surprised what an impact it can have.

What sets your blog apart from other very talented blogs and communities?

My blog is kind of a guide to being healthy, green and cute for the rest of us. Most people at this point know that sulfates in your shampoo, high-fructose corn syrup in your food, and bleach mixed with ammonia are bad for you. But what is missing are affordable alternatives I have friends ask me all the time, “Well if I can’t use bleach, what am I SUPPOSED to use?” “If I don’t use cones in my hair, it won’t look right!”

Most people don’t know what their carbon footprint is, (I know I don’t). But they know exactly how much money they have in their bank account.

I’m just trying to show why and how many of our household products (especially beauty products) are making us sick (asthma, fibroids, cancer, migraines, eczema, etc.) and that there are plenty of healthy, very affordable alternatives. You can take steps to being green and healthy without eating cardboard, wearing funny-looking shoes, or looking like a “Survivor” cast member.

What is in store for Savvy Brown readers in the future?

Well, the more subscribers I get, the more guest bloggers and more giveaways I’ll be able to provide. I’ll also be doing YouTube how-to videos, podcasts, and maybe even an eBook!

What is your best hair advice for any woman?

Natural hair is NOT “bad” hair. (So stop calling it that, it can hear you!) I feel so bad when I see posts and message boards with women who say, “I hate my hair!” There is nothing wrong with your hair. However they may be something wrong with the way you’ve been TREATING your hair (or your body that affects your hair. You don’t have my hair, or your sister’s, or your
mother’s, or your best friend’s hair. Your hair is unique to YOU. So whether you’ve been natural for years or are just starting out on your journey, find a style that you like and then adapt it to work for YOU, not the other way around.

Tell us something about your hair that you don’t often share (good or not so good)?

I need to pay more attention to my scalp. I always read these posts about women who put in twists for like 6 weeks and I cringe. My scalp NEEDS to be washed every 7-10 days, otherwise my head is NOT happy. And it needs lots of water, both inside and out otherwise it’s parched! My hair can knot up pretty quick if I stop paying attention to it.

Shout out: What is your favorite blog next to Savvy Brown? Why?

I can’t pick one so I’ll give you my top three! Ok well Curly Nikki was the first blog that really did it for me. I couldn’t wait to see the different women’s styles that she would feature. I obviously love Texture Playground, (and silently stalked for a while) because I’ve enjoyed following your hair, fashion and fitness journey. I also like tipnut because if you’ve been to my blog, you know I LOVE making stuff!
