Having a little fun with styling and makeup

I haven't styled my hair in a while now due to me being so busy as a hairstylist. Crazy right? While I spending time making others beautiful, I neglect myself. I know I know.... Well the other night I was in the  mood and spent a little time with me

And then I HAD to go into my collection of makeup to satisfy my inner Diva....

I was oh so serious wasn't I? I laugh at myself :D

Toodles..

My Baby is Finally All Natural!!!

Do you remember my post "Looking Out for Our Girls by Eva" ? 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........

All Natural!!!

If it moves you to leave a comment please say something encouraging to my baby who is on her own natural hair journey respectfully.

I'll let her read them for encouragement.

Proud Momma signing off  :)

Happy New Year!!

So in my last post I announced that I had been challenged to get into shape. Well a couple of years ago, I found this website called Sparkpeople.com. 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?

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 :)

I have been challenged!!

Chuckles...My BF decided it was smart of him to challenge me to get into shape by summer of 2011. 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!

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! 

Yeah, he smiles now....

come summer time I'll have the waistline, the health, and sheer enjoyment of victory!!

and of course braggin rights! :)
