Big Chopped and Loving it.

Thursday October 13, 2011 I made the ultimate impulse decision to cut off all (or what was left of my hair). And I must admit it was one of the best decisions I've made all year. Ever since I went back to relaxing my hair in Oct. 2010, I've regretted every hair style since. Even though my first attempt at "Au-natural" hair was a little difficult, I'm more dedicated and educated to take the journey!  I refuse to spend a bundle this time around. Personally it defeats the simplicity and convenience of being natural if your spending alot on conditioners, treatments and CURL DEFINERS (my former addiction why natural the 1st time). I've decided to use up all my current products by Motions for relaxed and natural hair and other miscellaneous products. No my regimen may not work everyone but it will work for me and my pockets.

On the 2nd day I immediately colored it a dark brown shade by Dark and Lovely and followed up a deep conditioning with Organic Root stimulator Hair Mayo and Motions Deep Penetration Mask for about 45 mins. Rinsed and used Motions Nourishing Leave-in Conditioning Spray, Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner, Mizani's True Textures Perfect Curl Defining Cream Gel, and African Royale Sheen Spray.

After all that I immediately "beat my face" and hit the streets, to show-off (LOL,so not me normally!)Oddly enough rocking a almost bald head has given a bit of confidence boost, which was much needed lately. While out I was easily co-hearsed into buying to unnecessary MAC blushes, Warm Soul (mineralize) as a highlighter and Plum Foolery (sheertone shimmer blush) for everyday looks.

Thanks for stopping by and Hope you have a AWESOME week!

Good Morning and Happy New Year!

Hair Care...aww my nemesis in the beauty world! I do well in spells but not continously. I came across this great article on one of my favorite sites (www.cocoandcreme.com)and will it'll hopefully be my first project of the New Year.

2011

I've decided to make life changes and instead of "Resolutions" for 2011. Sometimes I feel like I've matured or "wised-up" later then most people my age, but I'm cool with it now. Looking back on the past year there's soo many things I'd love to go back and change or not done at all. But regret isn't something I'm going to allow to consume my life anymore. Going forth into this new year I will enjoy my life and all the beauitful simplicities of it. Now knowing they make ME.

Love....NO COMMENT, still at odd's with this subject!

Life....I'm going in, i'm going and Imma go HARD! (In my Lil Wayne voice). Every minute of each day is never promised, so I'm going to be happier and appreciate my HAVE'S and not dwell on my HAVE NOT'S.

Makeup....Wow, I've become so lazy with my daily routine so it's not included a made up face in several weeks. My goal is to hit pan or give away (of course after through sanitation =)) whatever I have left at the end of 2011. I need not purchase anymore, except a another concealor. Guess it's time to make use of all those hours of stalking youtube make-up guru's.

Many blessings and well wishes to the WORLD.

Could it Be?

Life has been so simple yet also so hectic at the same time these last several months. Like many I've gone through difficult times with family, friends and work leaving very little time for DATING. But within the last 2 months I've met someone and it's been a LONG time since I had "someone" in my life. So far so good and I'm very optimistic about our future.

I've never been the type who's quick to find and fall in love, then again how can you stop a natural feeling. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not in love...yet. But the scorned, hot headed, "I don't no...." diva in me is tired. I'm ready to be to love, trust, honor and respect another man in my life. Because it's crystal clear the "OTHER/EX" ain't coming back.

Love, Life and Lipstick..xoxo
