Hola Julio. . .

      My first thoughts, "umm so where the heck did June go?!". . . either way, July is here! This means one thing a couple of things: 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. . .  yes, be excited.

      Another first for me today, was my random solo trip to Princeton.  Destination: Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. I mean why not? Nice weather, nice car ride whiling singing close to key with Beyonce and some nice quality alone time.  Enjoy the pictures:

Twist Me Up. . .

May 2011



  

       I must say, I need to get back to my twist (outs). I was on it in March! I have no idea what has happened in the past 2 months for I have resorted to my wash and go religiously.  That will change this week, in which I will start off with a nice hot oil treatment, poo, deep condish, detangle, start in on some oils & trim my hair. I'm thinking chucky twists for a few days or a personal mini twists challenge.  Depends how I feel. Hmmm. . .

     

 

Henna Head. . .

So, I finally took the plunge! I was nervous and excited all at the same time. However, I'm glad that I did.

What I used:

• 150 grams Nupur 100% Mehendi
• 1 1/2 cups Pure Chamomile Tea (not pictured)
• 1/2 cup Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Conditioner
• 3 Tbspns ACV
• 2 Tbspns honey
• Wooden spoon
• Old Eco Styler Gel jar
• Gloves/Plastic bag (or cap)

Let's Go!


Kinky Attitude. . .

Quick summary of the journey (details to come later):

• I decided to go natural in late December 2007/ early January 2008
• Rocked kinky twists like my life depended on it for awhile (includes transition and after BC)
• Transitioned until early September 2008 in which I BC'd
• Started wearing my hair out late December 2009
• still hung on to kinky twists until end Summer 2009 lol
• End of the kinky twists! Wore my hair out all the time (only had one weave and a wig since)
• 2010 - today: mastered twist outs, still rock puffs, flat twists, etc.

In the beginning:

As my new growth started coming in, I wore a lot of bantu knot outs and as mentioned before KINKY TWISTS lol. . . my friend showed me one day before college winter break and I did the most horrible set over the break! I thought I was cute because I did it myself . . . they looked terrible (which will NOT be posted lol). However, I did get better and it became second nature.  I would sit in front of the TV and go to work:
