About Happily Ever Natural

I began blogging in 2009 as therapeutic reinforcement for self-care. Happily Ever Natural was created in 2012 as a way to socially connect with the natural hair community. I would always get asked about the techniques I used on my hair, and I wanted to be able to help, so I decided to start my blog. Since its inception, it has grown into a lifestyle and beauty blog where I also share parenting tips and my love for travel. It remains a go-to site for many naturalistas, beauty lovers, mommies, and trendsetters all around the world.

Happily Ever Natural’s mission is to empower women and MOMS to be confident, courageous and unique in every way!

Most of all, I love to collaborate with new and exciting people and brands. For inquiries, press, collaborations, sponsored posts, reviews, event hosting, speaking engagements, sponsorships, partnerships and much more please email info@happilyevernatural.com
