"Take the kinks out of your mind instead of your hair."-Marcus Garvey

I thought this was a great quote from Marcus Garvey!! I feel the kinks are all of the negative thoughts that we as people have toward our natural god given hair. But, anyway I don't want to get too deep into that. I really wanted to come and just share my natural hair inspiration:

Chime!

I love this girls hair! Click here for her youtube. Whenever I am having a rough hair day I take a look at her hair and remind myself of my hair goal!! I think it is important to have a hair inspiration for your rough days. Who is yours?

The Monroe Sisters Meet-Up @ Rare ATL

 Hey Ladies (Gents). So it's the weekend of the World Natural Hair Show!! Of course the weekend is filled with meet-ups and exciting events. Thursday, I along with alot of other beautiful curlies, attended the Monroe sisters Meet-up (Meechy and MsVaugn). The Meet-Up was scheduled to be held @ Rare ATL but, ended up at a tavern next door which worked out perfectly fine. It was great meeting so many natural women. I saw so many different styles it was crazy!!

Meechy and Vaughn were beautiful as usual wearing their super cute twist-outs! They both wore dresses from Blazing Haute Designswhich I loved.

I wore I guess a semi stretched twist-out using Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I pinned up one side to add a little something something (LOL):

It was great mingling and talking to others about which products they use and how and why they went natural.I got so many new styling ideas. I think sometimes we get set on doing 1 style that we forget there are other things to do with our very versatile hair.

The event was from 7-10pm and at 9 there was a giveaway portion(we were given raffle tickets upon arriving). Almost everyone left with something. And if you were 1 of the first 100 to register you received a gift bag as well. (I was one!! YAY! LOL). The sister's also did a favortie thing giveaway where if you answered four questions about them correctly you received a goody bag full of their favortie things. I won Meechy's goodie bag and another lady won Vaughn's. Below I have included some pictures of the event! Enjoy and I hope to see some of you at the Hair Show sunday! If you can't come this year, come next. It's a great event!

I fell in love with her hair!

If you haven't checked out Meechys blog do so...it's great! The monroe sisters meet up is April 28th, hopefully I will be seeing some of my fellow bloggers there as well.

NYFW!!! Wish I was there!

I love fashion and I wish I was able to make it to NYFW so that I could see some of my favorite designers collections in person but, I'm not. I'm there in spirit, LOL. I've decided to share with you all some of my favorites (thanks to Style, I am able to pretend as if I am there!) that I have seen so far from the designers. I am seeing some GREAT things so far for the Spring 2011 RTW collections. The designs that I am showing kind of show my mix of what my style is and what I would like it to be. Hope you all enjoy. I am enjoying posting it........

3 Months Natural!

Omg!! I totally missed my 3 month natural anniversary!! I have been so tired because of my pregnancy (that's another post) that I have not even been keeping up with the dates. I did my BC on 6/5/2010!! I am so happy and I am getting some pretty good growth. I would like to thank Kimmaytube for her excellent leave in that she was so sweet to share with everyone. This has helped my hair tremendously!! My hair retains moisture, shine, and is so much easier to manage than it was when I first started my journey! I have learned so much about my hair this time around. I have been natural before but, really didn't know my hair or it's likes and dislikes. I am so thankful for the things that I have learned from fellow youtuber's and bloggers. I don't have a good 3 month photo but I have a photo from my baby-shower that was on the 28th of August. I don't like it at all (I look so goofy!) but, hey it will work. I did finger coils the night before. (Excuse the fat face, LOL.) Until next time.


Peace & Love
