All things J

It's bin 5 days since I blew my hair out (well, when I took these pics) Did you check the vid ?? Go on, do it now. Well, I gotta say... I was loving the shit out of it :D Girl, YES! lol I really liked the length mostly... among other things. I can't wait until my hair gets to this lenth without stretching...wow. I had so much fun with it last Friday night. Believe it or not, it was the first time I could truly say "big hair don't care" LOL Saturday morning hair- corn/cane row out The only down-sides are, after a couple days my hair took on the... heat burn smell :/ I know, not good. I'm hoping I don't have heat damage because got damb it, the setting was low!! *sucks teeth* (UPDATE: A little heat damage, but nothing some deep conditioning treatments can't fix) Also, it's bin either raining or ice dropping (lol) since I did my hair!! (still is) Gosh, can a girl show off her first  successful blow out in peace?! Chec

...loose natural/ post locs I have not bin loose natural since I was 11 years old. I remember my natural hair was a pain in de ass (tt) for me and I disliked the hair styles my mom and aunt gave me My mom finally caved and had my hairdresser aunt perm/ relaxed / straighten my hair (so many terms) for my primary school graduation. I was gladddd!!! (tt) lol I couldn't stop playing in it. It was long and very healthy. Ten years later, because of too much direct heat on the hair (flat iron mostly) that caused it to thin out and also the need for change ( I like change) I decided to grow locs. (tho I think if I used to watch YT videos then, my permed hair would be down to my butt) lol ...Anyway before this turn into more than it should be, here are a couple comparison pics :)                                                                         Mini Twists This is a great look to go on vacation with. No fuss & cute! I saw my growth a lot with this style t

~~Cough every time I say trend~~ lol anyway, I'm stoked that green is on trend for Spring. I'ts my favorite color, especially this shade (mentioned this several times before huh?) This is one trend, together with black and white, I will be taking advantage of. As for the floral trend...hmmmm One has to 'jump out' at me The scarf I got a couple years ago and the blouse is thrifted.   Pants from H&M, booties Bakers (sry not really pictured) and wrist clutch from Strawberry a few years back. Remember my jacket from a previous re- do/ diy??- H&M Speak out in my poll, so i'll know what you all want to see!! Blessings J

More like temporary fail... :/ Well... hair before dye job I applied color on wet shampooed hair I let sit- in room temperature (did not cover with a cap)- for 35-40 minutes. Directions said 20 but since I have natural hair, I decided to stay a little longer. I rinsed, conditioned twice, de -tangled with usual products & put into jumbo plaits/braids Hmmm not liking the look that much. Maybe it will grow on me? Check out my youtube video for a better look at the results Blessings J

Went to the East Village NYC for dinner with the guy.

Restaurant Review -Reservations are a must (maybe just on special days) - Small place, tight yet comfortable seating -Friendly staff (though they seems a little overwhelmed that night. it was packed!) -Food 3/5... decent price What a lovely evening :) How was your Valentines Day? Blessings J
