My Challenge

I have been natural all my life but yet I still feel like someone who just did their BC (big chop) because I never really paid much attention to my hair. For most of my life especially high school I would get the typical " When are you going to get a perm?" or the most recent one " You have been natural all your life? Then why isn't your hair down to your butt?" (..Umm yeah theirs a thing called breakage.) I never really took control of my hair until now. For the past four years since I've been in  college I've had mostly braids and kinky twist. And when my hair was out I would get my handy dandy press and curl. I've been researching about natural hair since my junior year of college through YT and most recently blogs and that has really helped me out. I recently made a promise to myself that I would try for a year not to get braids in my hair ( since that has always been my clutch) and really find out  how to finally take care of the hair thats on my head instead of depending so much on others to do it.



My first attempt of doing a protective style. I got this idea from YT Ms.Vaughn but changed it up a bit. 


My friend Belinda and I . This is just some random hairstyle that turn out great. I braided the sides and the rest is just a twist out w/shea butter.

*My Winter Wish List*

Hey you guys! Since winter is here( I don't care what anyone says its freakin cold....fall my butt..lol) I thought I would share some things I've been drooling over. Here are a few items that I would love to get that can help you cope with the harsh weather. 
Dallin Chase Jasper Black Leather Jacket - as seen on Rihanna





















1. Leather Jacket: I think since right now the weather is cold one day and warm the next a leather jacket can be a great thing.I especially like the one that Rihanna is wearing here. I think the design adds a little extra flare. 

Forever 21

2. Blazer: I think a blazer should be a staple in anyones closet. You can dress it up or dress it down. Blazer's reminds me of a little "security blanket" for any outfit.  




3. Holiday Dress: With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years coming up I think its extremely important to have a holiday dress that you can go to. Here Glee's Amber Riley shows four looks that I would love to wear at any holiday party. In order to make it weather appropriate I'm sure you can pair any dress with some tights or some boots.  

Forever 21
4. Funky Flats: Flats can be a life saver especially if you need to give those heels a rest. I especially love these leopard skin flats because their versatile enough to be paired with any outfit. 






5. Hair Accessories: I love to try these Forever 21 hair accessories! I've seen so many natural hair ladies rock it and  would love to give it a try.I think this can elevate any simple hairstyle.
