My journey on the road to “Relaxer-No-Return,” would begin after shedding my last strand of unhealthy hair in 2009. This would be the defining moment I would prepare to change the course and re-write the history of my hair. Fortified with determination, and a salon appointment in tow, I would enlist the expertise of a professional natural hair stylist, take a deep breath, and gradually begin growi

ng out my relaxer. The next two years after that day was the period of “transitioning-trial-and-error.” Like many women, I found myself struggling to make a real connection with my curls. I decided to journal my process as a therapeutic reinforcement and embrace my newfound healing hair care lifestyle. As I shared my daily grooming celebration, I learned and perfected different hairstyles and began bonding with my product preferences. At that point, it became clear that through my transitioning transparency, I managed to grow and nurture a community of like-minded curly heads who genuinely appreciate my fresh perspective and candid conversation. Thus, my blog has grown in popularity since its inception and continues to be a go-to site for restless naturalistas in all stages of their natural hair journey. While working with my hair, making how-to-videos and posting reviews may be a welcomed project, I glowingly speak about my MOST favorite role as a wife, and a new mom to a beautiful baby girl who is poised for social stardom as well! I am the Founder of Happily Ever Natural and a transcending texturelista known as /Michelle Thames. Michelle Thames

There are certain places in the South Suburbs that are more than just somewhere to eat.

You remember the sign.
You remember who used to take you.
You remember what you ordered.

And judging by the comments on my Reel, The Submarine Port is definitely one of those places. 😂❤️

I had never stopped in before, but Randy had, and now Riley has too.

That’s kind of the beautiful part.

46 years in Midlothian and a whole new generation is still discovering it.

Now tell me: what did you used to order from The Submarine Port?

And send this to somebody who KNOWS that sign. 😂
