Hairstyle of the Week and Updates!

Greetings Naturalistas!

I've been incognito for a little over a week now, primarily due to having an extremely hectic workload. I will admit, my last two weeks of hairstyles haven't been the cutest. Week one's bun was AWESOME, but my fingers grew tired of manuevering my hair around extra bands and pins...or maybe I just got lazy...hmmm...

Week two's hair was just a puff...yea I know...not really a protective style...I'm a bum....I admit it!

I did MUCH better for Week three:

I initially created around 10 chunky twists after washing my hair on Saturday; I had the notion that I was gonna wear a bug fluffy twist out, but by Monday, I decided to separate each twist into four smaller twists. To moisturize while re-twisting, I used Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I woke up this morning, not knowing what to do with them, and I just started rolling and pinning my hair down and VIOLA! I call it the Twist, Roll, and Pin!!!

(Side View)  At least four twists rolled in a row on each side.



(Front View) I left six twists out for the illusion of having bangs.

So...this is how I plan to wear my hair for the rest of the week. I'm attending a family dinner Friday night and I'm wondering if this style will change. I 've committed myself to wearing protective styles only, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing my hair! I'll be good...maybe...

Healthy Living Update!
Me and the Daniel Fast: I barely made it through Week 1 without meat. Don't get me wrong now...I enjoy some meats, but I only eat it once a week. I did eat healthy foods, but I noticed that I need to plan better meals. It also made me realize that everything is NOT for everybody. I hope to be ready for the next round...until then, I am eating foods I believe will help reduce allergy/ezcema flares.


Let me know your healthy changes for the new year!

Later!

My Imperfect Bun and Healthy Eating Update

Naturalistas!

Since my scalp is SOOOOO sensitive, I have decided not to have my hair done professionally for a while (my scalp errupted due to an ingredient in one of the hair products used to make really cute twists!). DIY protective styling will be on my list for the next few weeks.

'Get it Right, Get it Tight' Goals for 2012



I hope everyone had a safe and eventful night last night! I spent the evening stuffing my face at Carrabba's, followed by an exciting movie, Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol! I LOVE action movies and this did not disappoint!

So, as I sat at dinner last night, I thought about resolutions for the new year. We have all made them, but HOW many of them do we follow through on? So this year, I tried to make goals that are actually attainable.
