My Summer

This is the best time of the year for me! I don't care how hot it is outside! Nothing like being poolside with a book & enjoying the sunshine! This is what I'll be reading the next few weeks. Literally. I've completed Darius Jones. That was a very good book. I couldn't put it down. I love books written by Morrison. I am reading 32 Candles now and it's a great read so far. This is my style for the week. I was able to get Larsee to braid me up in the back.

Like my polish? Opi(Don't know beets me). Self manicure.




Oh, E.Dickey is going to be in town toward the end of the month for a book signing. My heart stopped for a second when I found out! Hope you're reading the Gideon series. Great reads! Anyway, I'll post pics from the signing, I'll be there.

Big hair, don't care

I decided to try something a little different this weekend. 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. But the result was very pretty......

Quiet

I keep so much to myself because I know if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. But in the meantime, know that I'm blessed.

Dwele G.

Dwele was in the city Friday and I had THE opportunity to enjoy his music live & meet him after the show. I really enjoyed myself! Of course I had to let my hair out for him! I rocked a twistout that night. His hair is nice too. Aren't we just too cute? :)

Dwele is a really down to Earth and sweet. He called me full name on stage & I got cerenaded! My heart melted. If you could've seen the grin on my face.....

I'm Twisted

I had some time yesterday evening to mini-twist my hair. 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 know I am!

Rose Garden

This is just beautiful. I know the petals will be falling off soon. My mom planted quite a few rose bushes & the only one that blossomed was this one. I stop & take pictures of the roses. I don't know why but when flowers blossom, I always feel that there is hope & a new beginning to anything and everything that you may want in life. Just inspirational for me.

Spring is in the air!

It has been beautiful the past few days! I made it to the lake a few days ago & was able to take a few pics. This is my kind of weather! Enjoying the sunshine!!!

Earlier Today

I'm estatic! Seriously. Saturday was a very busy day for me & I was uncertain if I was going to be able to purchase this bicycle that I saw listed on CL. 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! You like?



Joy.

Another great hair day

I have had my hair twisted for the last 3 weeks. 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. I will do
better by my hair.

Twisted Again

Just got my hair twisted up. 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.

I took this picture last night as I was walking around the Boardwalk. Spotted duck. I hope that you can see it. I really could've used a flash. If I had some bread, I wouldve fed the ducks. :)

Took this picture a few days ago at work. I'm having great hair days! This is just a flat twist out. I'm smiling because I know that my reflection is truly that of me. No lye!   

Today.

Hurt. 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?

Disappointed

I 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.

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.

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.

Have a great night. Tomorrow is filled with its own problems. I'm done for the day.

This flower has been through an awful lot. It's the middle of winter and it has survived. Just a reminder that I can survive & withstand anything. My tears are just nourishment of survival of the flower I've become.
