Happy Thursday!

Hello peeps! Just wanted to post a pic showing how I'm currently wearing my hair. I have been wearing in twists for a bout two weeks. (Trying to look cute for our 1st year wedding anniversary) not down to there yet..... ( I guess 5.3 years isn't long enough for my tightly coiled hair) But anywhoo have a great Friday at work tomorrow! I once read this saying... I don't show up for WORK on Fridays, I make appearances.. Lol

Happy V Day 2013!

 Just wanted to wish all the lovies a Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Like every year, my dad sends me a box of chocolate. I look forward to seeing him stop by my school on vday to shower me with whatever he has. He could just simply give me a hug. I am definitely a certified "Daddy's Girl". He isn't able to visit any more because my parents moved out of the state last year because of my father's career. Of Course my husband shower me as well with my favorite Lindt bag of Hazelnut chocolate! He also picked a lovely card and a bouquet of flowers. Perfect. I'm easy to please and he knows it! I am still limited to 1200 calories a day so I treat myself to one piece of chocolate at the end if I'm under my calories by bedtime. I am currently 186.5 and my goal is to lose 1.5 pounds a week until I reach 150lbs.  I have also included some of my fav letters from my students...

How was your Valentine's?

Happy July!

Just wanted to post some recent pics! I was tired in the purple shirt... Lol

Location:Home on our 7 year anniversary weekend...

Guess who's bizzack!

I miss blogging and my blogger friends! Got consumed with fb and all the natural and sisterlocks groups that I forgot the main goal of my blog! I wanted to create an online diary of my hairstory. So I will just pick up from the year n half that I missed! First thing first.... I'm married!!! Pat n I got married last month on March 2nd. Secondly, I fell way off the vegetarian wagon but I'm running after it trying to jump back on... It's hard when it limits ur time and resources. I live in a city known for BBQ! Although I'm eating meat, it's poultry and seafood only. I think I'm good on the other meat. I'll never eat pork or beef again! I haven't since 2004. Well it's late and I will get back sometimes this week but I wanted to leave you with some pics from the wed/ honeymoon . My hair is 4.3 years locked. Enjoy!

















Oh!! And have u noticed the braces are gone!!!! Yes! Three weeks before my wedding! I was so happy n loving my smile!

For Colored Girls Wkend

Watch out there now! My locks are getting longer and more lock- looking... If u know what I mean. Still in love with my hair after 2.11 years! Refer to the locLoops tag and check out the earrings! My hair is almost past them!


During the opening weekend of For Colored Girls..... I went to a mother daughter bday brunch honoring a neighbor. We all wore hats ( which I had to borrow b/c I'm not a church hat owning kinda girl.... I had fun. Then afterwards we went to see the awesome movie.... Dinner.... Then drinks! What a good weekend spent with beautiful, strong, empowering black women.

Tried FushiaStorm Double Bun!

This was fun! I gotta a lot of compliments all day long! This was the only way I could put my hair in a bun by using the bandana method. Click on Fushia's site on the right under my Sisterlock Family. I tweaked it a little. I held my head down and tied the bandana on my head to make a ponytail. The ponytail holder techinque didn't work for me. Then I followed everything else like her blog said. I will definitely use this style again! Oh and I had to tie a headwrap on cuz my locks in the front are shorter and the fly aways drive me crazy! Enjoy!

Updating blog!

Hi girlies! I still can't figure out where my SL bloggers went... ;( I will still update my blog. So much has been going on. My ex-husband passed away from a car accident. I was very sad about it but was at peace because our last words to each other was in October when he called me for my 30th bday. They were friendly and pleasant and i got a chance to tell him that I forgave him. BF was very supportive and by my side. This incident showed me that he is truly on my team and is the one for me. We havent been together 5.5 years for nothing! My Sls are still the same to me... Nothing changed but my ponytails are starting to look 10 x better! I am also losing weight... A lot of it. I started on 8-9-10 weighing 181lbs! As of today 9-16-10, I weigh 164! My secret weapon is Medifast and just a Lil exercise. I try and walk about 30 times/ 3 days a week. My goal weight is 135. So I got about 30lbs to lose. Medifast is kinda expensive but only bc I have to pay a lump sum for 40 days. I will continue this until January. We will see what happens... Here are some pics until next time!



RIP Alejandro Perez
( I was 135 in this picture and a permie...)

Playing around!

Well I got this idea to add some color to my hair from all the music videos and the hundreds of women in Memphis. Lol! I wanted to find some kinky hair that was colored purple- my fav color next to black. The plan was to sisterlock the track and then glue it in ;)... Ok ok I was bored and the idea just popped up. I'm still too chicken to touch my own hair with bleach n color so that's when the weave thing came up. The weave was too str8 and after back combing and installing 5 sisterlocks, I got lazy and just really wanted to see the results. I Bobbie-pinned in the row of weave and took sum photos. The bf didn't like it. But I just know it will be super cute once I find some purple "marley" type hair and sisterlock the whole track. I'm looking forward to wearing this style in the summer. Here are some pilot or concept pictures!

Happy 30th 2 Me!

What a ball! I had so much fun enjoying life and everything about it this whole week. My heart is just so full of love! I am so lucky to have a family like mine... A mother who cares about me so much she doesn't care if feelings will get hurt,,she's going to tell you whats on her mind. It took me a looong time to understand that! A father that truly loves his baby girl and would walk to the ends of the earth with me if I needed him. Two loving brothers that I adore and who adores me back. 3 BEAUTIFUL NIECES AND THE ONE AND ONLY Handsome Nephew.... I love you guys you always make TT happy and make me smile. I am also lucky to have two beautiful sisters in love ( E and T )that are strong women. I truly care about them and my brothers are lucky to have them. Even though I am grown I am lucky to have a God-mother that has been there for me from birth remembering each birthday and always there for any event in my life. I love you so much God-Mother E. I am so lucky to have friends...true friends that have been with me thru thick and thin. You guys are the best and you definitely know who you are! I am also thankful for my fellow bloggies and sisterlock wearers who have made that commitment to show your natural beauty and are beautifully rockin that natural hair style. Whether you are rocking an afro, locks, twists, etc. You guys made it easier for me to wear my natural hair and I am truly thankful for that! I hope that the next thirty years of my life will be filled with the same love, joy and peace as my first thirty.
