Shocked? I know, me too! So I did the usual (shampoo & deep condition) and sat under hooded dryer to get my hair dry. Then blow-dried my hair on medium. I cannot believe the length of my hair! I surprised myself! It's been raining lately so my hair is getting bigger by the day. I didn't blow dry it to get straight anyway.

This is refreshing knowing I won't have to do much to my hair for the next couple of weeks. I don't know why these days twisting up my hair seems like work. It's worth it when I'm finished but then I remember the days I couldn't wait to have longer hair just so that I could wear my hair twisted. lol. Pitiful, I know, but I am free for the next few weeks. I may wear my hair twisted all summer. Matter of fact, I think I will. I'll keep you all posted. Enjoy Spring!!!

I would've purchased a new bike, but what I need it for, I could get w/used. It's nice. Going to take some time for me to get adjusted to riding it because it's a road bike. Balancing & pedaling is a little harder at 26 than my early teens. I had so much fun pedaling earlier that I'm a little sore. It's ok though. I've got my iTunes mixed, my bicycle, and Dino. Life's great!

Good in the sense that I didn't have to do anything to my hair, but bad in the fact it took me almost 3 hours to untwist. This cold weather is no joke. My hair was in the beginning stages of loc. Well, maybe not but it took longer than usual to take out my twists. Back to my weekly routine. I've just gotten lazy that's all.

This is a really cute hairstyle. I'd like to thank Larsee (she's a stylist also) for creating this nice style that I will be rocking for at least the next two weeks! I'm trying to do anything protective because this winter is no joke on my hair. I'm keeping it moisturized & twisted as much as possible. Spring cannot come fast enough for me. <p></p><p>Sent from my iPhone</p>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-16648225394789119122010-01-21T11:31:00.000-05:002010-01-21T11:18:09.638-05:00Multimedia message<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24-ptFaatjXWCtI0jAv6p_EOZ1v7oh_N2Ir7ZSGfMRA0YTbYBD8AJd1cD1MMBf_E-1Gndmwfup7teus6kjoVqN-MOdGmb-tz-WhROt7goIVgM8oc_1IUIqO1WsApxQ-N7smC4CJ1bobU/s1600-h/bm-image-789642.jpe"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24-ptFaatjXWCtI0jAv6p_EOZ1v7oh_N2Ir7ZSGfMRA0YTbYBD8AJd1cD1MMBf_E-1Gndmwfup7teus6kjoVqN-MOdGmb-tz-WhROt7goIVgM8oc_1IUIqO1WsApxQ-N7smC4CJ1bobU/s320/bm-image-789642.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429228170453628162" /></a></p>I took this picture last night as I was walking around the Boardwalk.

Almost everyone has experienced it. Not physical hurt, but emotional. These are scars that are supposed to cured with time. Some scars taking longer than others. I have shed a lot of tears over these scars that don't seem to heal. Who is going to wipe away the tears that I cry for the little girl inside of me?<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-42338686783793508412010-01-11T22:45:00.002-05:002010-01-11T23:01:52.911-05:00DisappointedI know that you all probably do not want to hear this, but today unfolded as interesting. When I speak, I am a woman of my word. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that a lot of people trust my judgement when it comes to making decisions. So much that, today, I made a referral for someone for a service. Now I made this referral because I "thought" (hence that is what I get for thinking right?) this person's art was of quality. But the individual that was referred ended up being disappointed in her work. So much that she sent me texts (the most indirect way to communicate with someone w/o speaking) explaining to me that she was dissatisfied with her service. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am going to take this as a lesson learned. I tried to step back and analyze this situation from a few different angles. I should be flattered that someone would make a decision in part on my recommendation right? I am. I am not even going to lie, I've asked around too when it comes to services/business recommendations who hasn't? But I don't want to be the cause of anyone else's disappointment. I feel like life is full of disappointments and I would rather partake in the cause. </div><div><br /></div><div>I know, this is probably something that is minute to blog about but after today, I will not vouch for anyone or any business anymore. I wish that I could help you but I cannot. What I may recommend may not be to someone else's liking. But I guess the reason that this is hurtful because this person put so much trust in me. I should've stepped back and not made the recommendation. It's ok though because I learned an important lesson today and I am going to leave it at that. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Have a great night. Tomorrow is filled with its own problems. I'm done for the day.</div>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-64211295028506046562010-01-10T19:19:00.001-05:002010-01-10T19:08:04.090-05:00Multimedia message<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypBJyeb-V8KUbQpdZCIwXKSlb1S6vl4tQryn3dsXsZEzuzAr26BwsVPzYQaLHqKOVELcgn3_6ZntOZeGkgoK0aC87RSVu0EHskcHBLnRgEGLgqYYkbz5vwolXc1JaRcFrPz72Vr_Y7_8/s1600-h/bm-image-749922.jpe"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypBJyeb-V8KUbQpdZCIwXKSlb1S6vl4tQryn3dsXsZEzuzAr26BwsVPzYQaLHqKOVELcgn3_6ZntOZeGkgoK0aC87RSVu0EHskcHBLnRgEGLgqYYkbz5vwolXc1JaRcFrPz72Vr_Y7_8/s320/bm-image-749922.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425267185945946898" /></a></p>This flower has been through an awful lot.

I like this hairstyle especially the blue. I'm stepping out in some bold colors with my hair. It's a protective style that I absolutely love and I don't have to do anything at all to my hair besides wrap it in a scarf at night and use a light oil occasionally to prevent dryness. I am going to wear this style until about the 15th and then I am going to get a different color and style for the latter half of the month. I am going to be working out everyday this month. So I want to make sure that my hair and scalp are cleansed and conditioned. I am going to take a break from the braids sometime in December to allow my hair to rest. Just make sure if you do decide to get braids that they are NOT too tight. Taunt is ok, you do want the hold. But if you get out the salon and feel like you got a face-lift. Um, you might want to get them taken out, that is entirely too tight. Don't add that type of stress to your hair. I hope that everything is going well with everyone. I'll be back soon. I've been pretty busy lately but I haven't forgot about y'all.</span>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-35653392943281163752009-11-02T13:45:00.004-05:002009-11-02T14:22:24.124-05:00A GREAT Hair Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUUbCVXKfl2_vmEYCFmz0ksqljHEpPxmn4BsceZQVM7jRRHraJJwQDZXpjEAoeQSHKRTUNu13AcZjuJu3ecUVF9oZNPc48VrSNZ5PY6QNDiWyrKzbfYAruYCecMxKZGQ0efga56G5W_g/s1600-h/Photo+on+2009-10-16+at+18.56.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUUbCVXKfl2_vmEYCFmz0ksqljHEpPxmn4BsceZQVM7jRRHraJJwQDZXpjEAoeQSHKRTUNu13AcZjuJu3ecUVF9oZNPc48VrSNZ5PY6QNDiWyrKzbfYAruYCecMxKZGQ0efga56G5W_g/s320/Photo+on+2009-10-16+at+18.56.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399581472107437442" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I made a YT video on what happened to the extensions that I had in at the beginning of October. That was a VERY short-lived hairstyle. The combination of the braids and the sew-in was too much stress on my hair. I couldn't take it. Anyway, moving along after everything was taken down, I decided to wear my hair in a puff. There is no telling how long I could've been wearing a puff because this was the first time that I actually tried it. OK......Let me tell you.....I thought that I was TOO cute!! I'm dead serious. I took so many pictures and smile from ear to ear the few days that I did wear my hair in a puff. To be honest, I don't even know why I was acting like this because I should be proud everyday of my hair. Something got into me that day. But, it's a milestone for me because I would see other women with their hair in puffs and anticipated the day that I would be able to have myself a puff! So there is it! *big grin*</span>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-50283426357069377662009-10-12T10:21:00.003-04:002009-10-12T11:09:50.560-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbQUH3hdSPB3oTgt9w7ceX02D-4KZZP06PjVYlgRp9mLyEBGZdhBUQ2MxYkZRofKDUEB8OsD_jfaP4NtpjhURdNNTQbvPeJBOTESdFMLqc3WSeD846np44cJqC3zvVhf5tNbhY63JbHU/s1600-h/Photo+on+2009-10-12+at+11.07+%233.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbQUH3hdSPB3oTgt9w7ceX02D-4KZZP06PjVYlgRp9mLyEBGZdhBUQ2MxYkZRofKDUEB8OsD_jfaP4NtpjhURdNNTQbvPeJBOTESdFMLqc3WSeD846np44cJqC3zvVhf5tNbhY63JbHU/s320/Photo+on+2009-10-12+at+11.07+%233.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391730865834882738" /></a><br /><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Greetings! Yeah, I know it seems like it has been forever since I have written my last post. I have had a lot going on. Seriously. So I will rewind it back. If you follow my YT channel I posted a vid that sums up what has been going on. Anyway, September 15, I got a new puppy! His name is Dino. He’s a maltipoo. I’ve spent the last few weeks getting him house-trained. He is doing extremely well. He’s a sweetheart. I’m really happy that I got him! </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Ok, Sunday the 13th, one of my best friends called and asked if I would cut her hair for her. Big Cut. Yes. I couldn’t believe it either. I knew that she was transistioning but I didn’t know that she would be ready for the cut! Normally I wouldn’t make a big deal of a hair cut (because I am a stylist), but to have the honor to be able to BC for someone is amazing. Especially since I have already experienced the big cut myself. </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It’s important to share your experience with others. I say this because you may not think that you have a voice, but you do. It’s amazing the feedback, e-mails, and questions that I get from ladies about my hair. I really encourage you to share your story with the world. You never know who is listening to you! </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I also started working at a salon. Whew. I know. Told you I’ve had a lot going on. You already know. I get asked questions there as well about my hair. It’s ok. I’m always open for questions because I find myself enlightening ladies on what they think is “impossible.” No worries. I will be back on here again soon to share more stories!</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">One last thing, my style for October? Is extensions. Thought that I would do something bright and colorful. Bright Pink & Dark Brown. All of my hair is braided. I am going to try to rock this style until the end of the month. My hair wasn’t blow-dried or damaged. (well, maybe a little from the braids) But I like this style and I may keep my hair hidden for the winter instead of doing twists. I will give myself a few weeks for my hair to “breathe” in flat twists. I hope all is going well with everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read what I had to say & I will be back soon! </span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-91061334116803867292009-09-10T22:41:00.002-04:002009-09-10T22:48:18.056-04:00Winter Blues<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBTcDFRQHN46Hc3y-A43rxG_ynTpha8jUf7xKBHPHmzTwkavEEZ9_U6cdMSECuGesrVUh4k42UZ6-Nqlty0yWdILOXaBQg-CRHES82cVbGVJopa1B8GTJrpZ4TYWvAbaS4OiGWl7M37g/s1600-h/Photo+on+2009-09-10+at+18.00.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBTcDFRQHN46Hc3y-A43rxG_ynTpha8jUf7xKBHPHmzTwkavEEZ9_U6cdMSECuGesrVUh4k42UZ6-Nqlty0yWdILOXaBQg-CRHES82cVbGVJopa1B8GTJrpZ4TYWvAbaS4OiGWl7M37g/s320/Photo+on+2009-09-10+at+18.00.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380035345201848754" /></a><br /><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">t’s about that time again. Winter time that is. I’m not too excited to be honest with you. But anyway, I was asked a few days ago if I was going to switch up my routine. Probably not. I do know that throughout the winter I will likely keep my hair flat twisted like in the picture. I know. I am getting kinda lazy when it comes to my hair (I knew that once my hair got long enough.....it was a matter of time). I really like this style because it only takes me about 20 minutes total to do. I’m looking forward to the buns that I twist in the back to become fuller. This is a neat very protective style (especially for the ends) and I will rock this style all winter. I will be sure to deep condition my hair once every 2 weeks to make certain that my thirsty strands are moisturized. My challenge for the month is to keep my hair flat twisted for the entire month of September. I will allow myself 3 days to wear my hair “out.” Are any of you doing anything different for the winter? Or recommend anything? </span></span></p>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256293219979864256.post-43433203349765952992009-08-27T15:05:00.005-04:002009-08-27T15:14:38.179-04:00I Am A Queen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCGjYkHDvNDeDOIqNBxhZmbfkUYMBW4mExOCKlolDv1iUBVCQkseSp2xOfB61KH5B1monISm-3GmWQU3FL9apRMTey7CbFMFUD7Veg7nXkqjWz2NDyRk3CvlwZXDQUJ_SAjtumA59EJM/s1600-h/Photo+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCGjYkHDvNDeDOIqNBxhZmbfkUYMBW4mExOCKlolDv1iUBVCQkseSp2xOfB61KH5B1monISm-3GmWQU3FL9apRMTey7CbFMFUD7Veg7nXkqjWz2NDyRk3CvlwZXDQUJ_SAjtumA59EJM/s320/Photo+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374723905307536914" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If you expect me to walk through life like this...... Get REAL. I've gotten a few e-mails about the video that I posted. Why get mad? I took time to explain to these gentlemen about the process involved with relaxers and why I chose to go natural. Should you have a conversation like this with someone, please don't get angered at someone that doesn't know. Introduce these men to your story on why you are going natural and allow them the chance to gain insight on the situation. Guess what, they are still thinking about everything we talked about. I'm taking everything I learned to have a different approach to men about hair. Educate and inform.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Furthermore, if the deciding factor of a relationship is based on LOOKS alone, he needs counseling. I walk this Earth as the QUEEN I am. LOVE me or LEAVE me. I'm still going to do ME. </span></div>~LaToya~http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131718237417412528noreply@blogger.com0
