I Have Good Hair Days Sometimes...

Of course these are all on days when there is little to no humidity. Summer is my most favorite season and I couldn't wear my hair out I'm a little disappointed about that...*Kanye shrug* guess I have to choose a new favorite season:-)

God, please let there be no humidity today...

Everyday I pray and hope that the weather would be different. My hair has been extremely uncooperative for most of summer 2011, I can literally count  on one hand the good hair days I've had so far this summer...no bueno.

Since the humidity frizzes up my hair, if I leave it out I end up looking like a black cotton ball, so I've been forced to wear my hair in protective styles for this beautiful season. If it wasn't my two milk maid braids Tracee Ellis Ross inspired, then it was a slicked back low bun. I recently put an end to the buns because it started breaking the middle part of my hair.I tried the wash n'go thing but I HATE the shrinkage that my hair gets at the end of the day and detangling after a wash n'go in my hair is HELL.

Braid out with a touch of humidity again! (ignore the du rag)

The only reason I want Summer to be over is so that I can wear my hair out without having to worry about the cotton ball look.

Besides all my hair drama, I am enjoying my summer and I will be sad to see it go but, at the same time happy and optimistic for the new season, and for the freedom to wear my hair out decently.

I luv these girls!

Married to Shea Butter having an Affair with Rose Water

I just have to shout my joy for my new found love for rose water. I've been in love with shea butter for the longest but I found rose water and I just need to say that it is a God send. My hair is extremely dehydrated and while shea butter has been a staple in my moisturizing regimen, rose water with the combination of my beloved shea has done wonders for my hair.

I first heard about rose water from YouTube's lovely Naptural85 channel whose hair is always super shiny and moisturized. I've always only dreamed of having hair as shiny as hers, I finally came across her secret and I love it.

Thank You Naptural85 for putting me on!

Rihanna

My latest obsession... Ms. RiRi

I had copied her hairstyle back in 2007 or 2008 this low cut with the bangs was so cute on her, and me :-) If I find a pic with me wearing my hair in that style I'll be sure to post it.

Her music is versatile and appeals to so many different genres such as reggae, pop, and r&b; my favorite songs being Rehab, Rude Boy, Hard and Man Down.

I wasn't too crazy about this girl when she first came out, she jsut seemed awkard and talent-less to me but, I must say she has definitely proved me wrong nowadays and has completely won me over. The girl can sing and dance, she has confidence and definitely knows how to work the camera.

 She has style, wicked sex appeal and a bad girl persona that the masses have come to love and appreciate. Kudos to you Rihanna keep doing your thing!



Naturalistas in Italy!

Ponte Vecchio

Roman Coliseum



We had a blast in Italy, more pics of the scenery to follow.

Tracee Ellis Ross

My other obsession, Ms. Tracee Ellis Ross. I've been trying to get these milkmaid/goddess braids whatever you want to call them all summer, but I have not been able to perfect this style:-( I'm going to have to employ Checalyn Nimrod as my milkmaid/goddess braid stylist:-)

 Fabulous, wouldn't you agree?
