Yesterday's Hair

....the wash-n-go!

Products:

  • Coconut oil
  • Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk
  • EcoStyler Olive Oil Gel

What I did:

I applied those three products to my hair right out of the shower in the order listed.  I diffused with a warm temperature for 10 minutes.  Just enough to get my hair to damp and not dripping water.  Let airdry the rest of the way.

Sometimes You Have To Hit the Pavement!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I luv all things tribal, ethnic, etc. whether it's clothing, jewelry, etc.  I'm drawn to it.  Well, a couple weeks ago, maybe more like 4 weeks ago, I scored a cute pair of "tribal" sandals from Urban Outfitters for the low low price of 10 bucks!  They were on a clearance display and I couldn't pass them up.  Color me happy for the rest of that day, especially seeing as that the only reason I'd gone to the mall in the first place that day was to go to the Apple store to have them look at my beat-up iPhone of which they told me was shot to sh*t. **sidenote: I've since gotten the white iPhone 4 and it is super cute**  Anyway, later in the week, I'd happened to be perusing UO online and saw the very sandals I'd gotten for the low still being sold online at the full retail price!  So the moral of this whole story is--sometimes you have to hit the pavement to find those good deals!

I'm an AVID online shopper.  I prefer it to going to the malls, stores, etc., but I've realized that I may be missing out on some bargains by shopping strictly online--especially, when there are some stores, like TJ Maxx, H&M, Zara, for example, that don't offer online shopping.  It's easy to become this little hermit clutching my credit card peering onto a computer screen. haha  So I've promised myself to get out there, at least a couple times a month and check out what's going on IN THE STORES.

Said shoes:





Hope you have a fun and festive Memorial Day Weekend!

Weekend Hair: Showing off a "Braid-n-Curl"




I've definitely got the "pregnancy nose". lol



Products used:

  • Hot Six Oil
  • Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curly & Style Milk
  • Fantasia IC Olive Oil Gel

Process:

Co-Washed in shower.  Applied Hot Six Oil to hair.  Sectioned hair for 8 individual braids, applied a little Shea Moisture Milk and Fantasia IC to each section and braided down until I had about 3 inches of loose hair at the ends.  I then rolled the last three inches of hair around a pink perm rod.
