Summer...

Ah, the weather is getting nice, birds chirping, sweat rolling down your face, and ice cream trucks passing by every 15 minutes! I don't know about ya'll but...ITS SUMMER! And I love this season!

I love summer because my color finally comes back and my skin never stops glowing.
My clothes are always super cute...along with my shoes!!! LOL!
And for the 2nd time in my 20 years of living....my hair is soaking it up!

My hair loves the 80+ temperatures and to me it just seems like it never stops growing. And with summer comes a whole new hair regimen.
I cut back on all the products with unnecessary chemicals. I also don't use my cantu. I use the Motown Girl Leave In Conditioner!!! I love it so so much! My hair stays all bouncy and loose and shiny non-stop! If ya'll haven't discovered motown girl....please do. Thats Motowngirl.com and its the best website in the world for our hair. The homemade recipes are awesome!!! I don't wear any protective styles during the summer because my hair doesn't respond well to it. My hair loves the heat and I think part of that is living here in Illinois where are winters just seem to get colder and longer. So I think my hair is just rejoicing. I wash my hair every single day during the summer also. I do this because my hair loves water because for me...not for everyone...its the best moisturizer and the cheapest! LOL! But anywho...summer is here and not that I have length I'm going to incorporate as many hairstyles as I can.
Love ya'll!

Hair Color!!!


So, I've been natural for a year and 5 months and I'm loving that I can finally wear it in different styles. Whenever I would go out with my friends I would usually buy a rinse to get a hint of color but being here in the midwest with the weather and sun finally coming out...I needed a change.





So I went in and got my hair colored by one of my friends. And some of my friends were worried because I was letting a white girl color my hair, but I'm actually kinda thankful that I did, but that was because her salon uses CHI coloring system and these dyes are made of corn syrup.
Anywho....Tamika Ray was my inspiration!!! I love how much confidence she has and how funky her colors are. So the pictures are of me with my new color!!! Hope ya'll enjoy!
