Hey you guys and my how time flys. Well what's been up with me. Last month I was not feeling so beatiful got on the scale and I was two pounds away from 200. Depressing I went to not feeling good about my self at all. So that was three weeks ago. I did something about it, I started a diet. Which didn't consist of much change at all. A girl likes to eat but I over eat, so when I'm full I just let that plate go. I go walking in the morning. AS FOR MY HAIR I HAVEN'T NOTICE MUCH CHANGE, but I'm learning to take each day as it come. The day before thanksgiving i will go to the salon again, for a style I saw on the computer. Yeah Thanksgiving is big because it celabration also for my sister birthday. I have this one feeling when you become natural, you want to just become natural all over by that I mean lately I just want to watch what goes into my body! The kids hair is coming along. To make myself feel good I did a mini photo shoot of myself.

Extentions

In September I attempted to cut Shanti perm off. It was uneven, then Shanti is a twirler, whenever she gets tired she twirls in her hair and sucks her tongue. So every morning I have to get back up and do the style I did over again. Her hair was to short for a pony tail. So yesterday I went to the salon and added extentions into her hair which I will probabably leave for six month, cut the rest of the perm off then decide what I'm going to do with her hair then. Patience is growing but it's going to take a while to lock because it is really soft. If anyone has any ideas, I'm ope for them. By the way shanti still has her braid locs underneath!

A wise saying!

The fragileness of the mirror that the woman views herself in( the eyes of others) this crazy world. It's not what others think of you, it's what you think of yourself. All that's a part of loving yourself. Some more words said by my baby

Baby, I love you!

Baby, I love your naturalness because it expresses your confidence, it express your beauty and the love you have for yourself as a strong black woman. This was a statement made by my fiancee. It's good when the man you deeply in love accepts you for the woman that you are. I mean I stand alone in my journey but it good when the people who surround you stand for what you stand up. When I first started this journey and my locs were babies I had so many negative comments. But I knew who I was and what I stood for and that was all that matter. Now that my babies have grown and oh how those same people who gave me those comments are in awe. But my baby has always loved me and supported me for who I was. I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT NOT TRY TO BE LIKE ANY ONE ELSE!

It's happy Monday, the beginning of the week, the first day back to work. I always try styling my hair at the beginning of the week. I came up with something simple because I'll probably be outside either sweating or get caught in the rain. What the point is you don't even got to worry about it though. That's the great thing about having dreads. I condition my hair last night and it feels great, I must admit it has not been feeling so great since I dyed it. from the look of this picture, my hair is almost fixing to touch my back.

Locked Hair Blog Exchange: All Locked Bloggers Email me to Link Your Blog Here Hey my name is monica, I been on my loc journey for a year now and also has been a wonderful journey for me. It has taught me patience for the most part. my two daughter have also started their loc journey. http://imfinnallyme.blogspot.com

locing my girls hair!

My girls started their loc journey in august 09. Now they are just a month into their journey. Both them have braidlocs. my youngest is three and my oldest is seven. This was a choice they btoh made. they wanted their hair like their mommy. Now that my oldest has went back to school, I find myself asking did any kids pick on you, she just says no. I do worry because when I first started locing their was so much critism, but I was grown and knew who I was so I could take it. also we know children can be so crucial when someone is different. do you think I'm worrying to much? She seems to be content with herself. My three year old is not in school yet and by the time she goes to school which will be in a year. she been thru many stages, also she have alot length. I was excited because I knew I could maintain my children hair on my own. I had many friend say no, they are to young. I just had to keep the haters away. My boyfriend had stated it was a go as long as I kept it up. Smile!
