HAIR I go again (lol)

So I have decided to stick with the braids cause they look good on me and I have gotten a lot of compliments and most importantly "HE" likes it so I'm all good.  This time I decided to not to do any highlights and make the length a little longer.  I think I'm gonna be rocking this style a while until my hair gets to a length that I'm happy with...

My summer vacation...Part I

So I was on my way to Charleston and we took Amtrak....things did not start off well....first the train was 1 hour late.  Then when we got past Virginia the people who owned the train tracks put out a heat advisory so we couldn't go as fast as we normally would (which is 90mph) because we could derail.

Then we were going along fine and all of a sudden it got dark outside. Come to find out we were coming into a bad storm and our locomotive hit several large trees almost injuring the engineer (the trees we hit busted out the windows but the engineer is ok) and there are trees down on the tracks.

We just learned that the locomotive is damaged to the point where we can't move and we are waiting for a emergency locomotive to arrive to pull us and who knows how long that will take...
What an eventful way to start the trip. I'll keep u posted.

Summer vacation day 2

So after the horrifying ordeal of getting here and getting some rest we got up and headed out to do some shopping at the outlets.  I didn't want to do too much damage because I gotta get the stuff home...  I did find some good deals.  We are going back since I didn't get to all the stores I wanted to.    It's extremely hot and humid in Charleston so I tried to dress as cool as possible (see out of below). Looking forward to day 3, we are going sight seeing and hopefully hitting up some thift shops...till then...

On to the next one....

So I've changed it up again.  While I loved my short hair cut, it was having a full on battle with the summer heat and humidity...and the summer heat won with a TKO (lol).  So I opted for micro braids.  Its a style that I rocked a few years ago when I was trying to grow my hair out (Im always trying and I always end up cutting it off, my hair would probably be down my back now if I would have really grown it out all those years ago...).  I have it at the length I would like to see my hair be, and it is very convenient to maintain my hairstyle even in this weather.  I said to myself that this style would just be a temporary fix for my vacations but who knows....time will tell.... :-)

Hair Dilemma No More

So I solved the dilemma of what to do with my hair. I have been natural for a few months and I was really trying to see it through, but I really missed my straight hair. My hair had come a long way. But the hair battle was finally settled and my straight hair come out victorious.....AND I LOVE IT... I still plan to grow it out but im just going to go to the hair dresser on a regular basis. Here are some pics of my hair before and after getting it done.

Full Figured Fashion Week

So Full Figured Fashion Week is coming up in June and I'm really excited about it.  I missed it in last year but this year I plan on attending some of the events.  I gotta make sure I can find my flyest outfit so I can represent us Curvy Girls.

Hair Dilemma

So I have not had a perm since september of 2010. I been braiding my hair to help it grow out. Now Im at a crossroads where I dont know what I want to do with my hair. I really dont feel like sitting in a braid shop for 10 hours and my hair is not long enough for me to wear it out by itself, so Im trying to figure out what to do with it.


I miss my short hair cut but Im really trying to grow it out, AND Im not ready to perm it. What's a girl to do????
