People have always asked what I do to make my skin look youthful. While most of it is what God has done as opposed to what I've actually done myself, I decided to talk about what I do! :-) 
I read about this months ago in the Science Daily, but was recently reminded of these beautiful people while looking on a friend's FB page. These are the people the Melanesian people of the Solomon Islands - the WORLD'S only black blondes! 
I wrote this blog weeks ago when Twitter and FB was up in arms over natural hair online subscription companies and their alleged bad practices. I was hesitant to publish, but I still think we can learn from this... In this age of advanced technology, it seems like companies are popping up everywhere.

It was also revered as an energy food, and was traditionally pulped to make wine.  For centuries people have been obsessed with the fountain of youth. "How can I make my skin more youthful looking?"

Decided to go natural after successfully finishing chemo for Stage 3 breast cancer. I didn't always do everything right, but did the best I could do. I have a great support system - family, friends and church members who embraced my decision to go natural. So, I decided to pass along the information I've gathered over the years to encourage anyone that they too can do this! What is a ManeAngel???
