RE-DO: Desk Lamp

... tho lamps can't see *scratches chin*


Ahright. My desk lamp's color wasn't cutting it anymore (the top was green), so I brought out the paint!!




I gave it one full coat of Acrylic paint: Licorice- Plaid ( except  the knob at the back)



Luckily I put it on to see that the green was still showing through the top!!



When the 1st coat dried, I went in with a thick second coat painting the knob as well ... and voila, it's back in action.


Downside: The paint will chip easily since I use this lamp a lot so I have to be careful. I even decided not to put my pens and pencils in it anymore.

Upside: It looks dapper!

Paint is a wonderful thing :)

Big Chopped!

Image
So yes I big chopped! I have about 1-2 inched of hair on my head right now and I gotta tell you, I'm loving it! LOL It was sort of a spur of the moment decision. I mean, I was thinking about it for a while (since I took out the crochet braids) but never thought I would do it. Then one night, in the middle of Prison Break I just went for it. Just. Like. That. That was November 1st. Well, since then I've bin doing twist outs with my usual products (blue magic leave in, almond oil), but I just purchased a new twist out product from the 'As I Am' brand. I heard good things about the line and can't wait to try it! It's all about healthy hair for me now. I'm not stressing it. No color (hopefully, cause I'm thinking of  blue black *sigh*) and definitely no heat. I want my hair to grow out healthy and strong; looking, feeling and being. If that makes sense.  I would be trying out different things like rod sets (if possible), straw sets, wash and go ...
