Call me Tracee:-)

 The last time I washed my hair which was earlier this week on Tuesday, I did a roller set and sat under the hooded dryer for about 30 minutes before I went to bed. I've been wearing my hair in a bun all week and decided to leave my hair out today, I'm still having an issue with frizzies, but I'm feeling it.

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?

My newest obsession; Ms. Amber Rose and Kanye West Sexiest Couple ever!

Okay so last night I watched Running Russell Simmons on the Oxygen channel and I think I fell in love with Amber Rose. Can you say BAAAD???! this chick is so baad I think I dreamed about her last night lol, I know weird right. Its official, this is my first female crush. I just love her style, her body is amazing and her appeal is captivating. She draws you in and, on top of it all, she was with my ideal guy Kanye West (he's so dreamy) I love him. Now that the sexy couple has broken up, its weird how obsessed I am over them they were probably the sexiest couple I've ever come across...

 Can you say tomboy? I'm a tomboy too!

Jordans? too cute, I want a pair and I want a boyfriend to go with them too :-)

Anybody who knows me, knows that I hate shopping with a passion, Ms. Amber Rose actually inspires me to want to go shopping, I'm definitely feeling her fashion sense.

More Black Hair Inspiration

First Willow now Sesame Street? We're on a roll! He is the man responsible for the Muppet as well as the writer of the timeless inspiring song I love my hair. Joey Mazzarino's race is White/Caucasian and he is the father of a Black/African American girl. I really appreciate Joey for doing this song. We as Black/African Women spend all of our time focusing on what we want our hair to look like, rather than accepting the texture and quality of our own natural hair. It took me years to accept my natural hair because beforehand all I wanted for it was to be straight, and everybody else around me had it conditioned in their minds that straight hair was the only presentable way hair should be worn. Joey recognized a common struggle that has been around for centuries and is obviously still a struggle today among Black/African American girls and women. Being that Joey is not of Black/African American descent I think what he did is significant and worthy of the recognition that he has received thus far and more. He recognized this sad fact about black womens' self identity and did something positive in attempt to put an end to the negative view on Black girls'/womens' hair. While his intention may have been to improve the self esteem of his little girl, the message came across loud and clear to me and thousands more. For more details on this interview please  go to curlynikki.com.
 

I'm officially a cake decorator now!

Saturday was the last day for my basic cake decorating course, and I got a certificate of completion for the course so I'm officially a cake decorator now! Don't believe me? here is the proof:

My first rose cake:

As you can see, I still have to practice. So I'm going to take sometime to practice everything that I learned before I move onto the next course. I must say I am proud of myself for finishing something I started and, I'm so excited to see my progress in the near future!
