The Weekday Grind
I'm about to start writing (no matter how bad it is, in my mind at least, because it's not flowing). I just wanted to say how orgasmic my new goal picture is. That's the hair I want. I don't care how long it gets (I'm never cutting it so...). I think SOMETIME NEXT YEAR, I'm going to dye it honey blonde (Dark & Lovely). With my hair being as dark as it is, it shouldn't lighten up to a honey blonde. It will probably be darker. I can't wait.
I love my hair journey. In just 5 months, I'll have celebrated my 1 year big chop anniversary. It feels easy, thanks to lace wigs. I could never really do the weave thing. I was embarrassed to wear the BSS wigs because they just didn't sit natural on me. I did the bonding thing a couple of times, because it would lay flatter, but I was still limited with styling choices. Lace wigs kicked the damn door down when I discovered them. I will always wear them when I want my hair to be a little longer than it is. Now that my hair is long enough, I'm thinking about getting a curly wig and sewing it to a perimeter braid and really wearing it for longer periods of time, like a month. Maybe like a 12-14 inch; something that hits on the shoulders. Then I would remove it, clean it, clean my head thoroughly, rebraid my hair, and re-installing it. I could do away with the adhesives and tape. The seed has been planted.
Speaking of lace wigs, I'm putting the hybrid (or the virgin indian) on Wednesday. We're going over to his relatives house, and they've only seen me in wigs, and I don't feel like explaining what my hair is doing.
Here's a special shout out to my FAVORITE natural curly girl, Terri LaFlesh. I stumbled upon her website Tightly Curly. She's the reason why I'm a conditioner junkie and why I purchased a Denman D3 brush. Her blog is fabulous. I just found it. It should have been the first blog I subscribed to. Her hair is AMAZING. She's coming out with a book, and I'm definitely buying it. She's the one that inspired me to grow and love my own hair. She's also a writer, so she's inspiring me in that area also. Please check her out.
Off to write!!!!

Wedding Hair
My wedding anniversary just past, and I am totally having flash backs to my beautiful wedding day. I wish I could re-live it all over again. A few days before my wedding, I did a test run with what hair style I wanted (in the picture above). And this is what I came up with. Very simple and very me. Needless to say, that when the big day actually came - I was so busy, excite and nervous at the same time, that I totally forgot to do my hair!! But thank goodness my make-up artist, Shonna Hall, hooked me up. It was a great day, and I have lots of great memories. Here are more pictures below, from my wedding. Our colors for the wedding were orange, peach, yellow, fuchsia and pink. Yes that's a lot of colors...lol. But it came out great.

I Love Sundays!
Happy November everyone! I'm sitting here, dripping oil from my deep conditioning treatment (more on that later), watching Bugs Bunny, and working on my book. I Love Sundays.
Me and my loving boyfriend went on a date last night. He took me to see Michael Jackson's "This Is It" and then we had dinner at The Elephant Bar. My hair was cute. I had a headband on, and behind the headband my hair was slightly fluffed out. It's funny, but with all that textlaxing, I still got shrinkage, which is good. That means that I didn't overprocess the hair. I woke up this morning, and it's so soft. Right now, I'm deep conditioning with extra virgin olive oil on my hair, Dr. Miracle's Intensive Spot Serum on my hairline (all the way around, especially the nape), and Doo-Grow Stimulating Growth Oil in random parts all over my head. Then I wraped my hairline with saran wrap and put a shower cap over the whole head. I'll leave it on as long as I can. The dripping is getting on my nerves though.
The Michael Jackson movie
I don't even want to think of him as being dead. He was truly a performer. I saw through his dancing that he loved Fred Astaire. He was so cool. He was funny, he was gentle, he was firm, and he was loving. I think had he lived, the concerts would have put him back in good standing with the public. Honestly, I don't care what a performer does when they're not performing. They're human. All I care about is the music. He was in great singing form (except he wasn't singing when they walked through "Thriller"). He didn't look like a 50 year old. He looked like he was in his 30s, with his Ed Hardy gear on (too cute - I want some of those shirts and those pajama pants he had on). I can't wait until it's released on DVD. I'm sad that he went out like he did, but I'm so glad this was the last thing he did, that no one will ever be able to top. The way he planted himself in the old movie vignettes (with Rita Hayworth and Humphrey Bogart) was so cool for "Smooth Criminal". This concert would have been so much better than the "Dangerous from Bucharest" concert. He was sort of off his game on that one. I've always loved Michael Jackson. From the moment the movie came on, I was moving in my seat. The music makes you do that. There is one song he did that I'm looking for, that I first heard during in a Sephora store. I was trying to retain the lyrics, but I couldn't.
I will take length pictures the next time I put a lace wig on. Not thinking about doing it too soon though.
Happy Sunday!
