Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job. I'm working as a reporter covering Oakland and I host an arts segment on the radio where I get to interview amazing artists from around the Bay Area. Plus I'm publicizing my book  and building my speaking career!  You know what's funny? I thought this would all happen by the time I was 27-30.  Nope. That wasn't God's plan for me. I'm finally beginning to do the things I've wanted to do and I'm almost 40 years old. Some people reading this who are 40 will say 40 is still young.

Win Beautiful Textures Products!

 I had a great time at the recent Beautiful Textures event in San Franciso. And I hear natural divas across the pond also had a good time when the Beautiful Textures crew traveled to Paris and London.  For my Cocoa Fly readers in the U.S. you can try some of these products that I took home.

It's simple to win.  Look at my previous post about Beautiful Textures here.  Stylist Felicia Leatherwood delivered priceless hair tips. I've taken her advice and have noticed a difference in a matter of weeks! One style I love to sport are two-strand twists. She dropped a major tip about two-strand twists that I was clueless about. All of this time I was damaging my hair because I was doing something wrong with my twists.


What was the advice Felicia Leatherwood shared about two-strand twists? Find the answer in my previous post. The first two readers to email the CORRECT answer to me win!!! Just send your answers to cocoaflyblog@gmail.com.  Good luck!
