Naturals Getting Fab With Carol's Daughter:  The Diary of a Natural Gal's Meetup

By: Lauren Francis-Jackson

 

On Saturday, I went to the Carol's Daughter meetup hosted by The Diary of a Natural Gal's Naturalistas in the City!  The Diary of a Natural Gal is a local natural hair blogger from Baltimore, MD who has been blogging for about a year.  She has a team of seven bloggers who work with her to educate and build within the natural hair community.  At the same time she launched the blog, she began doing natural hair events through her meetup group on www.meetup.com.  In addition to the bloggers Zarah Charm, natural hair stylist based out of Baltimore, MD, was also in attendance.

The event was to connect with other naturals, and learn more about Carol's Daughters products!  Jamila was styling natural sisters with twist outs and bantu knots which are her staple styles!  In terms of CD products, she used Lisa's Elixer, Black Vanilla Leave-In Spray, and Monoi oil.  I loved the Lisa's Elixer because it gave incredible shine and added moisture to an old twist out.  Zarah Charm was working her magic with styling kinky twists, and 2 strand twist updos!

Many participants were bubbling with chatter about natural hair as if everyone knew each other like old friends.  Lots of product conversations about what to buy and what new products they wanted to start using. 

I loved being able to meet the bloggers Michelle and Jamila of The Diary of a Natural Gal as well as Zarah Charm!  They were very down to earth, fun, and fabulous ladies!  Like me, they also have a passion for makeup as well.  I look forward to collaborating with these ladies in the future for events in the DMV area!  I am planning on attending an event they have planned in January as well!
