My Shake n Go Baby locs! Hello Natural Beauties! I hope you are staying inspired to grow your best head of Healthy Happy Hair? I have been trying to get back here to write for 3 weeks now! I do have a few things to share that should help spice up your natural hair care game, but first, I wanted to share what I've been into! Yah I know my title gave it away lol. I've decided to start locking my hair! It was an option I had been entertaining for at least a year and a half now. I've always admired locs since year two of my natural hair journey but never thought I could or would do it. In my research I found that there are several ways to start locking as well as several lock sizes that you could choose from that best fit your personality and lifestyle. I narrowed it down to Sister locks and Micro Braid locs. In the end Microbraid locs proved to be the best way for me to begin this journey. I had 276 my micro-braid locks installed on 4-22-14 at Nappybliss Salon in Desoto, Texas. Will interlocking new growth every 4-6 weeks Some people were surprised that I decided to go this route, because my hair is/was " SOO Pretty" What's that suppose to mean? More on that when I start my new blog highlighting my new journey with microlocs. But, if you've actually read my blog posts about my regimen and process lately you could probably see the writing on the wall. lol. Love that its already full..I want full mature locs! What lead to this final decision: After being a loose natural for 4.5 years I'd reached a point where I was no longer enjoying my natural hair care routine/process. I began to loath my wash days which began to take 3 days to complete from beginning to end(end meaning, my final desired style). Because of my business schedule I rarely finished my hair in one day. (And on those in between days, I was always looking crazy trying to conceal "the transformation"). I was spending so much time on my hair the longer it got, that I felt I was starting to miss out on my life! I felt I wasn't enjoying my natural hair in its full glory, but more so trying to maintain it and look presentable. Any extra styling flare had been placed on the back burner. My wash days had taken enough out of me. And while I do natural hair for a living, by the time I got home I had no strength for my own? I even cut it in February about 3 inches off, which gave me some what of a fresh wind.... but that was short lived. lol. Whenever my hair was styled out it was always gorgeous to me. It's what people see. But people, there is a process, and you have to be at peace with your process, before and after the style. (Every person's Hair texture, density, lifestyle, skill level, patience level, and work schedule will dictate what your process is and how long it takes) Natural Hair care processes are never one size fits all. I have learned that my quick fix to problem areas are not always helpful to others because of the things I just mentioned, and vice versa. I had began to complain so much about my process to detangle that I was starting to get on my own nerves! Nothing I tried was ever good enough for me on saving time. I was also starting to leave styles in longer and stretching out my wash weeks. Whenever I did have time to do my hair, I was so tired from working I didn't want to do it. That really wasn't fair to my precious loose locks. Final loose hair shot.. hair shrunken from prev style. I finally had to admit that I was over my process, not my natural hair! lol.. I love my natural hair: the texture, thickness, and kinky-curls. I also love that natural hair can be locked and still look beautiful. I've done my research and I know locks are not NO maintenance, but they are LOWER maintenance. I promised my self at the beginning of this year that I would enjoy my hair and not stress over it but celebrate my freedom to wear my hair naturally, and as I please. So Here's to my Natural Hair Freedom.. **exhaling** Peace...I feel Great! SO! What recent turns has your Natural hair Journey taken? Stay tuned..my next post will focus on proven natural hair growth aides!
Thank you to everyone who participated in my call for questions and topics! I had quite a few responses, both public and private. As I make my way through them in the next few months, I will respond to your comments and let you know. And, if you still have any questions or topics for me, feel free to leave them! If you add your name and a link to your blog, I will credit you in my post! Today, I'm touching a topic asked by someone who unfortunately didn't leave their name. The subject matter? My Book of Shadows. Some time ago, I mentioned that I was redoing my BOS. I am still doing it, though my progress on it has been very, very slow. I have a few scattered pages here and there completed, though I should technically be much further along for April. Here's one of my favorite pages and one of my WIP pages. Enjoy! I'm particularly in love with this page because I feel like it incorporates all four elements: the paper being earth, fire used to burn the edges, water used to put out the fire and air used to dry it (I actually used a hair dryer). This is going to be my stones page. I actually sat down with each of my stones and drew them so that my reference guide to each stone will look just like the stone I have in my care.

Looking at the number of photo stories I’ve done from the city of Bikaner, it seems that we did more touristy things in Bikaner than we did in Jaisalmer. Very different vibes in both cities a…
Hello friends : ) Thanks a bunch for stopping by! I know you've missed my corny jokes so here is one to ponder until you get the answer at the end of this post: Why did the coach go to the bank?..... My card stash is actually frightfully low!! so I am concentrating on getting it built up again. I started with a set from Penny Black's new Sweet Spring release and had a hard time stopping! LOL No wonder dogs are considered man's best friends. Look at how sweet they are! I wish those puppies lived at my house! I'm planning to CASE myself and make this one into a Mother's Day card too! I'd feel the exact same way if I had a cupcake! heeheehee I stamped the image directly on to my card face for this one but popped up the gift with a pop dot. I might have overdone it on the glitter - you can barely see my package underneath it all but IRL it looks sweet. I have been MIA because right after photographing these cards the lights in my "photo studio" went kaputz! leaving me unable to photograph my pictures. The parts to repair them have arrived so hopefully my husband can get them fixed this week. Ok, you waited long enough..... Why did the coach go to the bank?..... to get his quarterback! Thank you again for stopping by! and have a wonderful day. All the supplies I used for my cards can be found at Penny Black. #30-463 Good Times #51-231 Border Edgers #30-270 Mimi's Love #25-007 dotlets #30-098 Big Wish #30-222 Wishes & Hugs #51-422 Stitched Square & Circles BIG (((HUGS)))
I’m not sure I’ve said this lately. Or if ever actually. But I just want you to know right now how much I appreciate you, my blog readers. (Quite honestly the fact that people other than my mom actually read my blog is still an amazement to me!) I have been the recipient of some […]
It was my entry to Bricklink Designer Program Series 3 and 4. It has received many kind comments and support, but unfortunately it has not been selected, therefore I decided to make the instructions available here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-177592/_TLG_/school-bus I always loved American style school buses, therefore I decided to design one. It is not actually based on a real one, but it contains many typical details. It is 8 studs wide, studless build in minifigure scale and fits perfectly to Speed Champions cars or to a LEGO City. For more details please follow the link.

Well, this party was the party that changed dates and times a total of 3 times due to Mother Nature!

But not this time...I stalked the Weather Channel app on my iPad daily checking and checking to see make sure the day of my daughter Riley's party would be nice weather! The entire event plan depended on it in fact. ALL activities were outside and I had lavish, plans under a tent that included bubbles, birds, feathers...oh my! So, I kept changing the
