This was a post about a woman who goes to pick up her daughter from the child's grandmother house and the child's hair is relaxed. Well I had a similar experience. To fast forward, I decided grow the relaxer out of my daughter's hair. It's been about 16 months of talking to my daughter about her hair. Telling her her hair is beautiful, letting her touch and watch my hair grow. Putting her hair in twists, cornrows, extentions, everything. The only thing I left up to her was when I was going to cut the relaxed ends off. Well, MY BABY told me she wanted the ends cut off yesterday and here she is........<br />

Well a couple of years ago, I found this website called <a href="http://sparkpeople.com/">Sparkpeople.com</a>. and fell in love with it. There I could track my progress and also get great free tips. So I went back there to update my account and link it to facebook. Yes facebook for all of my friends to see. What was I thinking? I don't know, but I did and so now I'm motivated to produce results. I enjoy reading articles and getting recipes there. I understand that getting into shape should be a lifestyle change and not just some temporary diet phase, know what I mean?<br />
<br />
I have been on my new journey of the more healthy slender me for 2 weeks now and have lost 14 pounds. I say I'm off to a good start. Yeah, BF knows he's in trouble :)<br />

Almost with a hint of "if you can" in his voice. *Not so smart for him* I am such a competitor and what he doesn't know is that before he wanted to challenge me on such a thing I had already began to put my plan into place. Hmmph. But I have a secret weapon. Buwahahaaa...~evil laugh~ I want to become vegetarian. I figure I would give it a try and if I didn't like it then I would eat meat again. Well folks, I have been eating only veggie meals for about a week and I gotta say I love it. I love to eat different tasty foods. I have found so many easy to make, low costing, delicious veggie meals that this dude is gonna loose his money. I mean, I started with this because come December 27th I'll be a sexy 30 year old chick and I need to start taking my health seriously. Winning this challenge will be all the more sweeter. ;) I will not loose!<br />
<br />
I know I'm following some one's blog who has a wealth of vegetarian meals. I'm going to go look for that now. If any of you guys have suggestions or recipes for a new vegetarian on a shoestring budget, then please share chile! <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh my gosh! I'm so amazed at the growth between now and at 16 months. This is crazy. I have to make a confession. I am a DIYer and last month I HAD to go to a salon to get my hair retigtened. I kept falling behind. So half of my head had 2 inches of new growth and the other half about .5 inches. Don't laugh. Between working and everyday life, I couldn't find the time to complete my whole head. Smh. Well now I have all of my hair caught up to the same and plan to keep it that way. The salon visit cost me 85 bucks. Ouch!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I will caution those of you who latch or interlock your own locs. This experience of mine cause me to loose 2 locs. The reason why you might ask? I still play in my hair. I know. Sad but true. By doing so with so much new growth, I would snag my hair at the root causing the base of those locs to become weak. So they popped. No worries. Lesson learned. I now have 2 puffs of hair in those areas, that no one can see, that will grow into healthy locs. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">"Inty" way... enjoy the pics! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you guys can see the pics well.

I'm just making a short post to inform you guys that I am coming back. Life has been so crazy as you all know it can get that way. I probably have 3 weeks or so to go in cosmetology school as I had to juggle school and finding work to pay for tuition. Can I get an amen? My locks are out of control! Oh how I love them. They are truly growing faster than I can keep up my retights. Oddly enough they are showing some length but I think I'm hitting the stage where they are starting to compact as well. Most of my locks from my crown down to the nape and as well around my temples have closed ends. The apex of my head is a different story. This is where my locs are truly my own. They are curly loose end rebels up top. Anywho, it has been 15 months since I've started my loc journey. I promise pics are coming soon. That is when I can figure out my digital camera. :)Kicukalahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05599600734655959188noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5727207984763122657.post-67569034782492878572010-01-17T12:07:00.000-08:002010-01-17T12:10:24.540-08:00All moved inHappy New Year!!<br />
<br />
Ok, so it took me all the way to the 17th to say it. I'm all moved in to my new apartment. I wish I could hire someone to come unpack and decorate for free :) It's been 3 weeks or so since being laid off and I've had a few of my clients over to my home. I think this will work out while trying to finish school. As for school, I'm going day and night now to try to graduate early and go for my license.<br />
My hair still looks great, but my scalp took a sort of beating due to me being outside in the cold moving and such. It's just so dry. What I did notice was that my scalp was not white. Yea!!! Dry, but not white. I think my scalp is finally coming around to not being slathered with petroleum or mineral oil. I did a oil treatment sort of. I shampooed my hair like normal then I used Anti-Itch Scalp Oil by Organic Root Stimulator concentrating on my scalp. Left it there for a few minutes while I finished my shower then rinsed followed by a vinegar rinse. It was very soothing, however I don't think I'll use it every time as it soften my hair. Thankfully none of my locs came undone. My hair has grown alot and it's amazing. My locs are still a little fuzzy, but I charge that to my hair type and I'm ok with it. I haven't been doing alot to my hair lately, just free stylin'. It's been 13 months and I'm still totally in love with my locs!<br />
Well I'm off to catch up on everyone. Bye for now.<br />

As of December 23rd we will come to feel the effects of our wounded economy and face a lay-off. I've worked for my employer for the last two years. It won't be easy, but I'm optimistic. I welcome the change actually. It comes in a timely manner with other things that have changed in my life...<br />
<br />
I've found myself newly single-again. No worries. There comes at time in an adult life that when things are not working, move on. No regrets. No drama. I'm reminded of a Tyler Perry play when Madea saids "When you're in your teens and twenties you make stupid mistakes cause you are trying to find yourself. But come 30, a light comes on and you get some sense... If a light don't come on, Check ya bulb. Check ya bulb. (Lol).<br />
<br />
I'm moving soon. Not to my house yet, but definitely a better place than where I live now. I definitely feel that this move is a good decision for me full of opportunity and closer to my circle of family and friends.<br />
<br />
And I'll be working on putting myself out more to start building a clientele for my hair care business. I'll start with natural hair and braiding as this doesn't require a license in the state of North Carolina. To tell you the truth, I like working with natural hair better any way. I felt so good talking a grandmother out of relaxing her 7 and 8 year old granddaughters' hair. I asked what she would hope to accomplish in relaxing their hair. She said to make it easier for me or any other stylist to work on their hair. Wrong answer for me. In this scenerio I was the expert and I acted as such. I told her there was absolutely nothing wrong with their hair and I would be glad to service them both. I told her that relaxing their hair would cause more harm than good if not properly tended to and at 7 and 8 it wouldn't be good. She thanked me for my honesty and I preceded to braid her grandbaby's beautifully big coily hair. (Warm feelings)<br />
<br />
So I say Hello, to what lies ahead for me. To seek out new and wonderful opportunities, to boldly go where I've never gone before (kinda). I've had to start over before, but now I'm ready to embrace what I know that I am ~a strong woman~<br />
Here I am again at a new start, embarking upon a new me...<br />

But I can't help but feel that if I don't ask then I will never come up with a solution. And probably someone else is having the same dilemma, so here goes ladies... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxTanwZNN510qLaCIfVV3NrFIeOslJSRdroMPl6bK9lhf0ZjfldMnF5PR8mINK3ww8PBHJ-17EfLh_TtLlqpsl3b74OtlOTJWJLKjCaU-Rp1mmiNOkK0juQBzncs-q1ChJJSD9DxOST333/s1600-h/100_1821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxTanwZNN510qLaCIfVV3NrFIeOslJSRdroMPl6bK9lhf0ZjfldMnF5PR8mINK3ww8PBHJ-17EfLh_TtLlqpsl3b74OtlOTJWJLKjCaU-Rp1mmiNOkK0juQBzncs-q1ChJJSD9DxOST333/s200/100_1821.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hair that is in my hand and down below it is what is complete. Also some hair on the sides is complete. In one day! I'm excited.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But.......<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Ok, so it's been about 4 weeks since I last reti my hair. I started Monday, but didn't reti any yesterday. Let me just mark it as 1 day of reti complete. So I have the entire top of my head to do and here's my problem. Because I can't spend alot of time on my hair in one sitting, I have to come up with a way to style my hair and mark where I left of. On Monday I spent approx. 6 hours on my hair throughout the day because it's my day off. For the rest of the days I can only spend about 2 or 3 hours. Because I'm new to doing this myself, takes me about 3 to 4 days to complete. So how can I style my hair over a 3 day period that is decent? Or what can I do to keep my place in the World of Thick Strands?<br />
<br />

This is how I wore today and it is horrible, but what else can I do? Any suggestions my sistas?<br />
What's in the bun is what is needing a reti. This is still alot of hair. It would probably take me 4 hours. I go a little faster in the front because I can see.<br />
<br />
awaiting what great ideas you have for me...<br />

The dilemma of <a href="http://inthelifeofag.blogspot.com/2009/05/5-months.html">two hair textures</a>..in the 5th month<br />
The <a href="http://inthelifeofag.blogspot.com/2009/07/milestones.html">demise of my relaxed ends</a> month 7<br />
Contemplating taking my locs down because of the <a href="http://inthelifeofag.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html">parts not being straight</a> and <a href="http://inthelifeofag.blogspot.com/2009/09/say-what-say-huh-9-months-get-out.html">what I decided to do</a> in months 8 and 9<br />
