Loc Inspiration
I have been thinking a lot about locing my hair. I am all about low maintenance, and keeping my hands out of my hair. These pictures are making me think looong and hard!
Peace.

Bad Hair Day
Hey Dolls,
Well after washing my hair 2 days ago i was too lazy to do twist. you know those days were you just want to wash your hair and be done with it, well i felt that way and so I decided to just detangle my hair and do jumbo braids with just my Pantene curly conditioner.
Today I unbraided my hair and I got this Fabulous Look.
I'm Upset!.... lol I gotta do something with this hair. I'm gonna work some magic and see what happens. later.

Twist-Out 101
Hey y'all!
I am getting better at Naptural85's twist out method!
I have started re-twisting at night ( which I have always been too lazy to do before) and I do not use gel anymore for the style. I have to twist small and do more parts because my hair is not as long as hers. I use my shea butter mix which is shea butter,jojoba oil,vitamin E oil, and coconut oil I whipped up.
I am loving this style because it is easier for me to manage and maintain.

My mix. I will sometimes use a little bit of coconut oil to seal my ends before or after I add the shea butter mix.
I am still trying to work on the frizz
The twists, some of them are still a bit big but I'm trying!
I am loving this style because it is easier for me to manage and maintain.
This is third day hair. I will soon be able to get that front piece into the bun!
Second day hair
The back
I will continue to practice this style and get better at it. My next style.....the tuck and roll! until then....

Vegan Journeys
Hey y'all
So I am a little disappointed on my journey. I have not lost anymore weight since I really started this change and I am getting frustrated. I eat mainly fruits and veggies and beans, I don't/rarely cook with salt (only in quinoa and pasta) and I dont eat rice, or bread anymore. I have been exercising everyday except for Sundays, for and hour, no less than thirty mins if it is really intense. I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong......
I love making soups and my fav so far is my pumpkin/butternut squash soup with potato. I only add coconut milk to it and use a hand mixer. I sometimes add pasta to it to keep me fuller and I add spinach to it when I have too much and it is going bad. On top I LOVE putting nutritional yeast and gomashio and I eat it with bran biscuits.
This is how my plate normally looks, half veggies, quarter beans and quarter grains ( Can you tell that those bran biscuits are a staple for me?)
For my dessert ( or when I feel like having something sweet) I'll have dried mango,which I have cut out now cuz I DID NOT KNOW that they had so much SUGAR! some yogurt ( that Fage stuff is soooo yummy!) One or two chocolate rice cakes and maybe some nuts. Mind you I don't eat all of those at one time! I choose which one I will have. Normally I'll have the dry fruit with yogurt, or yogurt with the rice cake.
I'm not sure if its the dairy I still have ( I eat the supermarket brand yogurt, not the Fage, its too expensive for me to keep purchasing, but I have since given up the supermarket brand yogurt realizing that it has NOTHING in it) Or it might be the dried fruit I love..... I will cut those out with the rice cakes though I dont have much of them anyways ( but anything dunked in chocolate can NEVER be good for you, right?)
I also noticed that I am ALWAYS hungry around 10pm. I try not to eat dinner or anything else after 7-7:30 pm, so I eat by 5:30 or 6:30 pm. But no matter what I eat, or how big my sizes are I still get hungry....at that same time.... and sometimes during the day when I eat throughout the day I am hungry after..... I thought it was a mental issue ( I used to snack HARD late at night) so I started having tea, but after the tea, I would be belching and STILL be hungry! (I am sooooooo frustrated now) I don't like the fact that I am always eating and exercising and nothing is working for me. It is really demotivating......
AND ANOTHER THING! (lol!) my skin has gotten REALLY BAD... I mean REALLY BAD!
This picture does not do the issue justice. my skin is BAAAAAAAD man...... and I am breaking out on my chest,neck, and upper back. I have NEVER had this happen to me before. I read somewhere that when you change your diet, your body is trying to get used to the change and may be detoxing through the skin, so I HOPE that is what is happening to me and not an allergic reaction to something.
I would LOVE to try out green smoothies, just to see if they will keep my fuller longer. I have been seeing so many people who drink green smoothies and be dropping weight without exercising! Alas, I do not have a blender....
I need to think this vegan thing over and see what I am doing wrong......CAN SOMEBODY GET ME A BLENDER!!???
Peace

Naptural85's Twist-Out
Howdy do!
Lately I have been feeling like giving up on my hair and just locking it, for cereal! I was getting tired of the twisting sessions ( which takes 6 hours for me, I dont know WHY it takes that long!) and my hair grows in layers so it is very noticeable when I do a twist out ( I am not willing to cut it) so I wanted to try a new style.
I always admired Naptural85's styles so I tried her twist out 101 method.
I used coconut oil and Ecostyler Argan Oil gel......and this style took me 1 hour.....1HOUR....... I will NOT be doing anymore twists!!........for now. I had to do some of the twists over because they were too big and I knew that they would come out too big, but it was a good style and I was comfortable enough to go out on the street with this style. I pulled out the twists and I had to put it into a bun because the back was way too frizzy to wear it out ( I should have taken a picture). I guess I did not use enough gel... maybe next time, but I will be using shea butter instead, I have been looking for shea mixes on youtube before I will be trying this style again.
until then, Peace
