nocturnal

Its close to 2 am and I cant sleep .. even tho I'm super tired and drained .. over the weekend i celebrated a close friends birthday and i dance and drank like it was 1999.. need less to say i had to work the next day and now since I'm home in my bed , i opted out of the the toss and turn battle and decided to share some photos of the night with you guys....

 my hair was pinned in the back then a simple roll and pin hump in the front.... my make up was simple with a pop of color... and my face very highlighted ...

me and the birthday girl....

Girls being girls

striking a major pose .. 

we had a very good time..

so what did you ladies do with your hair over the weekend?

Are you up for a challenge ?

I am ! that's why I came up with the 

"treatmyhairwithlove" challenge !

My hair has grown alot in the 15 months ive been natural  but i feel as if it can look better !

So this challenge isnt about reaching length its about your hair appearing healthier.

My regime is simple but I feel as if i can do more , put more in my hair, with that being said here's my new deep treatment( I call it deepT's)

* Coconut milk

*honey

* any oil (coconut,olive,jojoba)

* any conditioner  

leave that on for desired amount of time and then rinse with apple cider vinegar

 Im going to do this every week until .... further notice i guess..

Are you in?

makeup obsession

Like every girly girl, I love makeup! I love how it looks feel , hell I even enjoy the packaging it comes in. so like many frugal gals I cant go and buy every brand, but i do go in and admire the different hues of eye shadows n lipsticks.. Here are a few photos..

Sunday morning talk

Coffee brewing,  I'm sitting by my kitchen window enjoying the early morning breeze which will be replaced by the beaming sun later...

I'm just reflecting on everything that has happen this week and being grateful.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the simple things. on a day to day we are pulled in so many different directions that we  lose sight of the most important YOURSELF.

That's why i enjoy doing my natural hair because  that's the time i have to enjoy me... make me feel good.

The other day a co worker asked me "girl who does your hair?" I replied "me".  she said wow  i couldn't ever imagine handling my natural hair. i told her it wasn't that hard ,  the same way you learned how to care for  your permed hair , you can do for your natural mane.

I feel  as if she was trying to be funny or smart but really just wanted to now  how can she go about becoming natural as well...

Needless to say  in good spirits i gave her my blog and Youtube info JUST in case she wanted in..lol

o wait( gets up pours cup of Joe, sips ahhh wait were was I?) 

So she took the info  and said thank you..

Alot of times other women dont know how to ask each other for info for the fear of  having them think your trying mimic them or "hate". which makes it sound as if she/he is trying to be funny ...

Point of the story is to have an open mind to any question anyone may have towards your natural hair , it  may not all be coming from a nasty "hateful" place. JUST  PURE CURIOSITY .

can coloring natural hair damage it or change its curl pattern?

Now I know when some naturals think  of coloring their hair it can be a little scary as well as allot of questions. but honestly the beauty of being a Natural is that now you can experience different colors without so much worry about it falling out .  Now about it changing your curl pattern in MY CASE no I'm still a PROUD 4a/4b curlie... Ive had my share of colors check it out....

June 2010 around  5 month natural honey blond

3/2011 "til" 5/2011 reddish color

Now back to black(my fav) :)

Now I'm going to honest when you have color in your hair you have to take EXTRA care of it.

Here's what I do...

* I cowash once a week  with very mild water(almost cold ) to keep the color vibrant

* I use shampoo/conditioner that is for COLORED TREATED HAIR ...

*seal the hair with my oil mix

* and style as usual ...

so my advice to ladies that are thinking of coloring , make sure you find the color that best fits you  and JUST DO IT...

Hope this helps....

xoxo
