My hair...out here in the boonies

Here's a hair update...

So Korean! Look at that forehead!
LML! These are some twists on a lazy Sunday Morning. Can't wait till my eye lashes and eyebrow grows back in so I could start looking less raggedy...ugh. LOL But don't my teeth look gorgeous?

I left my home in Brooklyn, NY with absolutely no hair products. I know what you're thinking... AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! LOL. My bag was already over weight I was not looking forward to paying another 100 bucks to satisfy my hair's obsession with moisture. I lie. I did bring one thing with me. Kinky Curly Knot Today... A friend gave it to me and said it would be good for my curl pattern. I usually mix it with Aloe Vera juice and oils from Kimmaytube's recipe but I decided maybe I could use it by itself...super wrong. Apparently my hair has to be super wet to use it. My hair was so sticky when I first used it as a leave in by itself. I felt like it wasn't doing any good in my hair. So I mixed it with olive oil and water and it feels so much better in my hair. Fortunately, the weather over here is perfect for a twist out since there is no humidity to fluff out my curls, The perfect twist outs. I'm using Herbal Essences Hello Hydration until I their finished. Then I'm buying by Shea Moisture from Target. I told myself I was only doing protective style over here... but I find myself wanting to show out my curls. Is that pride? Maybe but I twist every night and lose in the morning.

    Protective styling can be a lot of work, (for me, I'm lazy). That's why a long with my huge sunglasses and sun block, I squeeze in my huge sun hats to protect my hair from the sun :). I should send you some lol.

Wonderful Children

Bless my heart! Their ruder than when I first believed and ridiculously bright. Too bad intelligence does not mean wisdom. Can you believe this child in front of my face decided to kick another child, make him cry and think that it was OK for her to do that? She has lost it. Then, there are those who think their too smart to listen to any adult and they find joy in talking back to adults. Did someone say corporal punishment? No I would never do that... Any who...the Lord is good who promised, and these children do not determine my happiness. Praise Jesus! Keep my lips from guile Lord!

What is Kwanzaa?

I thought that it should be important for me to do some research on Kwanzaa before I went all full throttle Kwanzaa mode. Kwanzaa is a holiday created by  Maulana Karenga . While secular in nature, it does celebrate the cultural heritage on Black people in America. The Seven core principles of Kwanzaa are: Umoja  (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Kujichagulia  (Self-Determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. Ujima  (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together. Ujamaa  ( Cooperative Economics ): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together. Nia  (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to...

Ask a question

I ate beef. This kind of beef Not on purpose though. Today, after the sonogram we went to Red Robin, which I've never been to before because...why would I go there? But apparently they have vegan and vegetarian options. Unfortunately, the waiter got my order wrong. I'm eating three bites of my sandwich thinking that it's a real good imitation of beef (LOL, my brothers would probably say that I've been so long with out beef that I forgot what it taste like). I'm three bites in and I get past the spicy in the sandwich to taste the beef. Poor waiter, looks like he's about to cry when he has to do the sandwich again. When he brings it back, there is cheese in it. I have to laugh because the waiter now looks like he really is going to cry as he takes that burger back. When he finally gets it right, he also let's me know that I do not have to pay for my order and as I'm leaving, he gives me a gift card and tells me that the next time I come in the resta...
