I am a Scorpio and therefore my birthday is just around the corner. I have included a wish list.


1. "God's Property" tattoo under a current one located on my ankle. Which font?

 


 









2. A nose ring (a diamond) I am a little nervous about this one



3. A package from Edible Arrangement with dark chocolate covered strawberries


 

4.  A visit to Create A Canvas in Lithonia Georgia



I believe that is all...

This is one of my favorite singers. I my top three are: India, Beyonce, Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, and Rihanna. I know those are all very different, but they each sing to an aspect of my personality. However, I love India because she is beautiful, her lyrics speak truth and positivity. I am uplifted when I hear her music.
 
She performs at the Lupus Foundation of America Butterfly Gala 2012 at Gotham Hall in New York City.

Okay, so it is clear that I have some time on my hands. So, I decided to post some sisterlock inspiration pics. These are from ladies around the globe whose pics keep me going.


 


 




 




 

The Debate is TOMORROW!!!!!! Go President Obama!!

I got a free day today. It was supposed to be a day of homework, however plans changed. So, I decided to take advantage of it. I got my nails done. I chose blue for my toes because I am feeling calm. I chose burgundy for my hands because I am feeling steamy (not in a sexual way). I am just real intuitive and observant today. At any rate, check out a few pics from my day:

I saw this on a blog I love to peruse, "Sisterlocked". I cannot wait for Christmas, because I am gonna purchase one of these for my daughter (and maybe myself)!Below is her website. Now, for legal purposes, she doesn't endorse me (heck she doesn't know me) but I am a fan and wanted to share.

More of my journey...

Okay, so here is a side view of my sisterlocs after the installation.












Here is my hair after a few months. I was experiencing major shrinkage.

                                                                               
                                                                                So, here I am in December.











                                 Here I am in December, again... 

This is in July! I am seeing a little dropping. If you look at the photo above it may look like it is dropping, but I simply rolled it. That stretched out the locs a little bit.









This last photo is where I am today! I am experiencing more dropping and growth. I love it. In December my hair began to thin out. I still am unsure why. However, when that happened my stylist told me to use Biotin, the coconut oil, and castor oil. It all worked! I have had some to fall out, but I kept going and did not give up, which I may add hasn't been easy. However, at this point I am content! I am looking forward to seeing what my hair is going to do as it grows.

 

And, yes it is very clear a sistah has put on some weight. My plan is to get it OFF somehow. I am taking medication and one of the side effects is weight gain. I have put on about 30 - 35 lbs since December. Stay tuned to read about that story while watching and holding me accountable as far as working to lose it. Like many of you, I work, go to school, and have a family. So, I have to find time to do me. It appears as if that is my mantra for a awhile: Do me! Hmmm... I will have to think about that one. 

First Day!!!

Hello Everybody!

I am kinda excited. This is the first posting for my Sistelockin Rockin Blog!  My aim is to try and post regularly. I hate going to blogs and getting into them only to have the blogger stop posting. I do understand that life can get in the way, so I am not mad. I just love to keep up with my favorite people.

So, I guess to begin, I will show you my sisterloc progress. It has been a year and a half for me. My sisterloc birthday is April 10th. I, like others, have had good days, bad days, horrible days, and great days. Right now I believe I am at a good point in my journey. I am seeing growth and they are finally starting to loc.

I always thought, since I have 4z hair, that I would loc rather fast. I was wrong. It has taken me a minute to loc and I am still not finished. I don't have a real routine. I just wash it when it needs it. I use this shampoo from Lush called Rehab. I regularly use Castor Oil and pure Coconut Oil on my scalp. I don't claim to have the most awesome sisterlocs in the world, but they are mine. As time goes on, I will share with you my hair issues. At that point you will have a clear understanding of where I am coming from.
