I'm bent, turned and......

curly.....

Ok so I decided roll my hair with those 'ole fashoned sponge rollers that are usually pink. Since I'm not a pink sorta girl, I mean I have it in my closet, but I don't make that a habit. Ok, hold on I done got off track. So, I bought green and black. I rolled it the night before church & what you see above is the result. It was nice until I went out into the blustering cold wintery wind of the Detroit. Little did my lil ones know that they were defeated before they had a chance. Anyway, we pressed on to the house of the Lord anyway. I got a lot of compliments on my hair, its growth, and its style.

Thinking that this was a fluke I decided to try it again for Monday, a start to a work week I knew would end with a glass of wine and.....(ok a bottle of wine) and a HOT BATH!!! So, Monday I went to work didn't take pictures until after my day was over and was getting ready to call it a night. Take a look & tell me whatcha think....

I didn't think I would get to this point of curling my locs. I thought I would just be freestylin' for a 'lil longer. I'm gonna try smaller rods and see what the turn out will be.

Yes We Can .... AND WE DID!

Our First.....

Family.....

Holloween......

is here. Are you ready for the bombarding of 'lil ones asking for sugary treats that they will try eat in 1 setting if allowed? Well I know my niecie poo Isis aka IcieMcMicie is ready.....
Whatcha think?

Last TightenUp to end year 2!!

Ok, as I embark on my third year. I look back over some interesting moments when I truly thought that in ‘bout a year, “I’m gonna end up shaving my head again, cause this hair of mine will remain splotchy.” I did yall, I had conversation about this here…..
or this one….


I can honestly say that patients is the key and all I can think about now is I’m sure glad I have hair on my head for the winter, but what about when summer rolls around again?!?!? My hair is now on my neck and in my eye…..

However, when I’m ready to change my look it will be either cutting my locs into a style or coloring my locs. In no way, by no means do I feel this is just another phase I’m going through. I have truly accepted the hair that the Divine Creator, God, had given to me, and locs are just the style I’ve always wanted. Since I’m not gonna perm, and can’t stand pressing, flat ironing etc. This IS the logical explanation, and I’ve wanted to loc for years, but was comfortable with what I knew & afraid of the unknown. Ok, ok, ok, enough of that……

I have always, had an air of confidence no matter how BIG or small, faded or permed, bald or braided and now loc’d. I have to confess that the beginning was a ‘lil hard on my confidence, but I stuck it through. I think the vanity is from well… both mom & dad’s sides of the families. So, I got it honestly….this attitude that, “I LOOK GOOOOOOOD!”

(still concerned ‘bout that eyebrow). So, now I’m working on on my 3rd year (10/2008 -10/2009). I know everyone celebrates the actual Loc’d date or thereabouts. I celebrate the move INTO the next year. Like those ‘lil kids that say I’m 5 ½ . So, if I had to count I would say that I am……24month & 5days.

So, here are a few of the good’ens not in any particular order.
