My "GO TO"

So, the last couple of weeks, I have been wearing my hair in either a Grecian braid or twist wrapped around my head with the ends of my hair safely tucked away and pinned. I REALLY enjoy this style simply because it's quick, easy and cute! I do believe it is my new "GO TO" style.
This style can be achieved by adding a spritz of water in the morning, a bit of gel to slick the edges, and a few bobby pins. It literally takes under 5 minutes!
It is perfect for the wee hours of the morning when I can find anything to do with my strands or for when I am pressed for time, OH, and it is a  great protective style. Enjoy!!!!!

H.O.T.D- 09/10/2012

Here it is y'all.....my mini twist......H.O.T.D. post for the month of September. I believe that mini twists are becoming my newest style craze right now gang! Yes, it is very time consuming for me, but the results are amazing. So, all I did to achieve the style was wash my hair with my Tresemme Naturals Conditioner/VO5 Clarifying Conditioner and applied Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding once again....That simple.I dressed the style up with a flowered headband. I continue to get compliments on this style more than any other style I've worn....I am so in love with this style because I get compliments and I can keep my hair in protective mode for weeks!What are your thoughts? Would you like to see me rockin this style at least once a month? Let a sistah know below......................

Review: Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding

If you follow this blog, then you know yesterday I posted a H.O.T.D pic.
If not, you can find the pic here.
I was feeling and looking great, and the products I used were Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding and some EVOO. So, today for the first time EVER on my blog I am humbly submitting my review of this product.

Note: I was in no way paid to endorse, or review this product and all the opinions are solely my own.
So let's begin with a walk through the 5 senses: Scent, Sight, Touch, Taste, and Sound. First, We shall begin with Scent.The product smells heavenly and I was taken back aromatically with the fragrant, lavender smell. I mean, gee it REALLY smells divine.
Next, Sight. The product looks purplish in color and even resembles a lavender, or lilac purple and even comes in a nifty purple container. It has a thick, creamy, non-watery texture as a cream should.  So, yes, I was smitten, as Purple is my absolute favorite color!
Then there is , Taste & Sound, which for my health's sake has been purposely omitted out of the review.LOL. We follow up lastly with Touch, and I will say this: I don't know if the underlying EVOO had something to do with my hands being VERY sticky but I did have looks of icky, sticky residue on hand during twisting! I remedied this problem by simply wiping my hands every few minutes on a few of my son's baby wipes.
So, my all in all Honest opinion of Miss Jessie's :
It is a pleasant smelling, consumer appealing, darn good styling agent. It does curl the nicely as it suggests, it was easy to apply, and a little goes a LOONG way, BUT it isn't budget friendly. It will cost you a nice penny, but in my opinion its worth it. I won this product in a giveaway BUT after first use I will definitely use it again, and will purchase myself!  My hair loved it!
I give it 4 out of 5 stars. 1 pt. deducted because of the residue, BUT otherwise AMAZING stuff.

H.O.T.D-4/12/2012

So, this weekend I had plenty to celebrate!
First off, on Friday, April 13th, I celebrated my 7 year Nappiversary!
Then, Saturday, April 14th, I turned 31 years old!!!!:)
Yay me.
I shopped all week and did something so out of the norm for me and my hair, I just can't contain it.
Wanna know what I did? Check the video and pics below......................

H.O.T.D-2/20/2012

Hello my Faithful BSBlog lovers:
Sorry I have not been updating these last two weeks or so.
I have been feeling blah, and in a rut, and things just haven't  been going as I planned.
Ever had one of these days? LOL.

Well, I have been relieved a bit today, because I honestly felt better than I have in 7 days!
 I took a pic of my hair. *I have included my hair pic for your viewing pleasure*. Mom says its a no go-But she is unsupportive at ALL times!
I loved this look, and even wore it to work.

It was constructed by simply washing my hair to prep for a wash n' go. I added my leave-in, coconut oil, and some Pink Oil Moisturizer Lotion. I pulled my hair in 5 taut ponies, and allowed it to air dry overnight. I picked out and added the part, plus 2 hair clips in the a.m.
Hope you enjoy!

Discussion #6

OMG! Over the weekend, I had a friend of mine post a pic on her Facebook wall. Nothing unusual about that, huh? Well, the pic was of Kim Wayans.

It should ring bells to hear Wayans alone. Yes she is one part of the notorious Wayans family. Her siblings are Shawn, Marlon, Keenan, etc....They are the creative forces behind White Chicks, The Wayans Brothers, and In Living Color, the HUGELY successful 90's variety show!
So, anyhow, the pic was of her sporting her own natural hair.Kim Wayans, natural-Who knew? The picture was simply gorgeous, and I loved it. Wanted to share and get your opinions on her look......Enjoy!
