How important is your hair?

If you recognize the significance of healthy hair, then 21 Natural Hair Growth Stimulators is the perfect book for you. And if you don’t, then you’re about to embark on a crash course of nurturing hair from the inside and out.

Prepare to be taken to task as this hair care book showcases a host of ingredients to grow thicker, fuller, healthier hair. The Earth has provided its inhabitants with much of what’s needed to survive. The necessities for hair are no exception.

From edible delights found in alfalfa sprouts and black tea to Emu and Neem oils, to name a few, readers will find common and uncommon methods for making the most of these natural products. In fact, everyday items for some just might spark renewed interest.

The ingredients discussed throughout this book are life sources in growing, maintaining and repairing hair. You’ll learn about the vital properties in relation to the effects on hair. As such, you’ll find more than topical usages but also the internal benefits of the list.

Hair care is more than what we’ve come to do weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly as mundane routines. We must make a conscious decision to invest the necessary time, effort, and care into our crowns. Effective hair care for growth, prevention and maintenance can make all the difference to those that understand the importance of hair. Start your journey to a better understanding of one of the most significant aspects of our physical appearance—hair!

Trina is eighteen and suffers from bi-polar disorder, making her paranoid, wild, and violent. Frightened by her own child, Keri searches for help, quickly learning that the mental health community can only offer her a seventy-two hour hold. After these three days Trina is off on her own again.

Fed up with the bureaucracy and determined to save her daughter by any means necessary, Keri signs on for an illegal intervention known as The Program, a group of radicals who eschew the psychiatric system and model themselves after the Underground Railroad.

Having her own successful baking business literally fell into Harper Richardson’s lap. She’s strong, smart, independent, and well-rounded. Her life has already been figured out, and she is living it to the best of her abilities, along with her year-long boyfriend, Zaire.

Things seem to be going well until Harper is given some news that stuns her, leaving her angry with herself for being so naïve. Zaire isn’t the man she thought he was. Still reeling from that news, she decides to go and have a great time at the Houston Livestock Show. Her interest was only in the concerts happening, but a certain bull-rider steals her attention. Doing her best to resist him only makes her want him more.

Legend Semien, bull-rider extraordinaire and a legend in the making, has made his passion a professional career. He loves the risk and suspense of it all. Being in the limelight of the rodeo circuit, he’s cocky and expects to be able to get whatever he wants. That expectation applies to women too. His conquests always approached him, and he was living the life he thought was meant for him to live. The moment he sees Harper, he knows that he wants her. There’s something different about her though. She doesn’t approach him. Destined to make her his, he steps out of his comfort zone in a quest to get what he wants.

While Harper and Legend are like night and day, they are attracted to each other like magnets. Despite the baggage and complications of their past lives, they attempt to get to know one another. Will they be able to leave their old lives behind in pursuit of a life together?

Like so many of us, Rochelle Graham-Campbell was a broke college student working multiple jobs to make ends meet. From working at a local nursing home and delivering newspapers to waitressing at Olive Garden by night, her entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well. After Rochelle's "big chop" in 2008, it was this same spirit that led her to make and sell her own natural hair care products when the market let her down. From a tiny bathroom in her college apartment, Rochelle began filming her haircare journey, soon becoming one of the pioneers of natural hair blogging on YouTube. Prompted by dozens of women inspired by her hair growth, Rochelle realized her calling. 

With just $100 in tips from a night of waitressing, she bought the first set of bottles and ingredients to formulate her own products. These kitchen concoctions soon became Alikay Naturals, Rochelle's solution to beauty without compromise. 

From humble beginnings, Alikay has blossomed into a wildly successful bootstrapped business now sold in Target, CVS, Rite Aid, Kroger, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and top beauty supply stores and salons across twenty-two countries. Now in her tenth year of business, Rochelle shares her journey from server to beauty founder and breaks down the mindset behind her success. Covering the hustle, self-care, and purpose beyond profit, 90 Days to C.E.O is a comprehensive no-BS guide to starting and running a successful business.

Shonda
It was supposed to be a simple favor for a friend, and it turned my life upside down. No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes. It was one little favor for my bestie, step in to play the fake girlfriend for a guy willing to pay for the privilege.

Make some cash. Move on.

It was supposed to be simple. Only I didn’t count on Ryan being gorgeous, or charming, or a good dancer, or an excellent kisser.

It was one fake date for a fake one day relationship.
But the consequences of that date would last forever.

Ryan
I just wanted to avoid looks of pity from my non-single friends and colleagues. It was one date—one fake date—for a friend’s wedding. Nothing more.

But Shonda was just my type. Curvy, brown and nerdy.
She knocked me for a loop and that one date turned into an entire night. And then she was gone. Poof. Out of my life.
Until fate, and my boss Michael, stepped in and changed everything.

Christmas in San Diego was meant to be a vacation, a chance to recharge my batteries.
Instead it changed my whole life and helped me find my heart in the form of a beautiful little girl with green eyes like mine.

And her mother, curvy, brown & nerdy. Just how I remembered her. 

Was it possible to have a second chance with a woman I’d only known for a day?

I didn’t know but I was hoping for a Christmas miracle.

Can a thief save a corrupt society?

Ten years removed from the one-hundred year curse for failing the Eldritch Trials, the Vulpiians feel like they can finally move on from that murky part of their history. Yet an undercurrent of unease and darkness still lurks in the crevices of their minds and society. Things aren’t as they portray, and nobody knows this better than Liekki.

Liekki is no stranger to the darker side of Vulpiian society thanks to her alter ego. As renowned thief, Blaze, Liekki, gets to live her best life devoid of political entanglements. A menace to Vulpiian society, she knows their world is just a dreamscape that hides the true horror underneath.

When lightning turns night into day, all of Vulpo knows what it means. It’s time to prove their worth again. When Liekki is selected to represent them in the Trials, it causes hysteria, but the decision is irreversible. She is their champion.

Once she steps through the door of her house, there’s no turning back. What will she find out about herself? Will it be enough to save the Vulpiians from the corruption that could doom them all?

First ladies of the Baptist church and sworn frenemies Rachel Jackson Adams and Jasmine Cox Larson Bush are stunned to learn they may have more in common than they thought—like who’s their daddy—in the scandalous new collaboration between national bestselling and award-winning authors ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Victoria Christopher Murray.

A heated American Baptist Coalition election. A murky murder cover-up. An outrageous reality TV show. What in heaven’s name kind of drama will holy rivals Rachel Jackson Adams and Jasmine Cox Larson Bush—prominent first ladies of the Baptist church—get themselves into next?

Since he first met Jasmine, Rachel’s father Simon Jackson has had a funny feeling about her. She eerily resembles his first teenage love. After doing some digging, Simon makes a shocking revelation—Jasmine may be his daughter. Rachel thinks the idea is absurd, but to pacify her ailing father, she sets out to debunk his theory.

When Jasmine discovers what’s going on, she heads to the Jackson Family Reunion in Smackover, Arkansas, in search of the truth. With her sidekick Mae Frances by her side, this big city girl isn’t ready for the country…or for the over-the-top family that she may have to claim as her own.

Rodney Allen AKA Balla, as most know him, is a man that’s considered a thinker, a strategist. He’s worked hard for his reputation and financial status and sees no limits for his future. Living his best life, Balla has no idea something is missing from it until he meets a young feisty girl from his side of town through circumstances so strange it had to be fate. What starts off as a sprint to put another notch on his bedpost turns out to be a marathon run after a girl’s heart.

Nakati Reed is not looking to be saved. If anything, she’s looking to save herself. After seemingly going from riches to rags her main objective is to make her bounce back stronger than her fall. 

When Balla enters Nakati's life it becomes obvious that he is exactly what she needs, but the two of them seem to have different ideas about the role she should play in his world. They have different ideas about a lot of things, but when it gets real in the streets Balla has no choice but to accept Nakati for who she is. 

The only problem with that is how do you protect a woman from harm that’s so comfortable on the front line?

Holidays are always challenging.

The values of the prestigious Brooks family is at stake when drama enters into the festivities as relatives and love ones arrive.

Beginning with the NBA star Jason Whitfield and his wanna-be baby momma, who has her irons in the fire for singing sensation, Taylor Brooks. As Taylor struggles to find her place in the music industry, her cousin James Brooks Jr. announce his intentions to enter law school. The family is thrilled. That sentiment changes when he adds his plans to marry Princess Zsa Zsa Ashro to the mix. Certain members of the family are now conspiring to thwart his plans.

And finally, the purpose of the gathering, the wedding of Vernon Brooks to Rene Naverone is compromised, as her team-member Genesis insist on conducting an FBI investigation into the girlfriend of her soon to be brother-in-law.

Whew….

A Brooks’ Thanksgiving begins with a brawl, climax to a wedding and end in an arrest. A traditional family gathering, sprinkled with a touch of true love.
