Well, it is about time that we hosted another event.  The Big Chop Party was so much fun and the ladies really did enjoy the health and beauty benefits of Tea is for Tresses (not to mention those cucumber sandwiches).  This next intimate little shindig is called Chocolate, Curls and Conversation. Ooooooooo!!!

In my reading and research, I have learned quite a bit about chocolate and would love for the readers and supporters of All Tressed Up to be able to indulge while learning of course. 

Chocolate, Curls and Conversation will consist of:

Chocolate

Learn about the health and beauty benefits of chocolate by partaking in luscious chocolate treats such as:

• Chocolate fondue fountain (with pastries and fruit)
• Chocolate beverages
• Gourmet chocolates

Attendees will also make their very own chocolate sugar body scrub to take home for later use.  All materials and additional recipes will be provided.

Upon first listen, I was hooked!  As I began to become familiar with Nappturalite Radio, I immediately began to gain quite a bit of respect, admiration and inspiration from its founder, Dawn Yerger.  She is the mind behind Nappturalite Media - parent company of Nappturalite Radio, Naturalpreneur Central and more.

It is my privilege and honor to feature a woman of this caliber on All Tressed Up.  She posesses vision, tenacity and keen business sense.  Please take a few moments to get to know Dawn Yerger.

What led you to start a radio show focused on natural hair?

Well, many people don't know this, but I had two other radio shows and I was the co-host on another radio show before I started Nappturalite Radio. Those shows did well, and I enjoyed producing them and getting to interview well-known experts. When I went natural back in 2009, I was co-hosting the Jaye Today Show (hosted by Jaye Reliford). She asked us about how our weeks went and I shared that I had just done the Big Chop and how I was learning all this new info about going natural on YouTube. The next thing we knew, it was the end of the show and we had talked about natural hair the entire time! I told Jaye, "We should do a whole show on natural hair!" She agreed and Nappturalite Radio was born. I figured that I was having so much fun learning about natural hair, that other people would too if I could share what I was learning with them.

This recent queen I met via LB Beauty and Training Academy.  She is a beauty and will soon be able to officially provide natural hair care services in her area.  Her classic and natural beauty is worth broadcasting right here on All Tressed Up.  I just had to ask her!

As we began to connect, I found out that she has a natural hair community of her own and a new blog! Let's get to meet our most recent queen - Ria Scott.

Who does your hair?

I do my own hair and have done so for the last 1 & 1/2 years.

What are your three favorite products? Why?

My three favorite hair products are: Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp Conditioner because it makes my hair super soft and moisturized and is an all natural handmade product. I can use it as a regular conditioner, deep conditioner or a leave-in!

I love the way things work!! So, I was noticing some changes in my skin and decided that it was about time for a facial.  Would I go to the spa?  Absolutely not because...well, it's just not feasible at the moment.

Moments after the thought, I saw a post in my timeline from our own C. Dawn Farrow regarding a new cucumber facial kit.  I clicked the link and was pleasantly surprised to see that the facial kit was available for the low cost of $10.00!!!

After confirming that there was in fact no shea butter (allergy) in the formula, I made my purchase.

Step 1: Clean your face

The instructions are to use the kit after cleaning your face.  I opted to cleanse my face with the Trader Joe's soap.
