SAD DAY.....

Today is a sad day for me. I am a little fustrated with my babies. I am finally six months in and I am very proud of myself for finally being able to let go of what I like to call "The REMY Weave Addiction." But my babies seem to be stagnant. I am trying my hardest not to compare myself to other women that have gone through this stage already, and I am working on my patience, but my hair seems to grow so slow! I haven't had any significant new growth since Month 3. Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but I don't know what could be causing this standstill. Has anyone else experienced this? I am starting to think maybe it's because of stress, but I haven't lost any locks so...I don't know you guys...Just needed to vent a little....

I just keep growing and growing....

Lol. Hello everyone. To say that I have been stressed is an understatement. Tax season sure does take its' toll on you. Between juggling this and school I am scared I may just fall out! lol. But I am still trucking along. I have finally reached my fifth month and my babies will reach 6 months on the 25th. I am so excited! Although I don't see much change happening to my babies as far as length is concerned , I have a few that are locking in the back and near the middle, but my edges and the top are taking a while. The top is to be expected seeing that I did perm that one small section around this time last year ( my consultant finds this hilarious and I don't blame her lol.) I am not rushing it though. My hair has stopped slipping (although I still braid and band), but it just seems my hair is growing soooo slowly. But oh well, rest assured my patience is growing stronger and I am really enjoying the stage that I am at. While I don't really change up my hairstyle much, I do accessorize a lot more now. I will wait and see what happens. See you all in Month 6!

Month 4 Update!!!!!!

SO, Happy New Years to Everyone!!! I hope everyone had a good time over the holidays! I know I did. Not much has changed for me the past few months. Sorry for the amateur pics, but I had to put something up to show you all where I am at in my journey. I confirmed with my loctician that I am in the beginning stages of the locking process and I couldn't be more elated than what I am now about that. She assured me that my hair is fine in perm rods, and that since they are locking they may seem shorter than what they actually are, but they are growing nonetheless. I may be M.I.A. for a few weeks due to tax season. I swear if I hear , "It is $1500 per kid right?" I may explode! A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing people. But anyway I have digressed. I am gaining a little more patience everyday and haven't been obsessing so much about my own hair. I will be 5 months old on the 25th! The months are just flying by! As you can see I haven't changed my hairstyle much. I am looking forward to my hair locking and it finally falling so I don't look so much like a peacock. lol. Anyway. That is it for today! Talk to you all soon!

Am I budding?

I am noticing some weird changes in my babies, the past couple of weeks. I noticed that halfway down the shaft of my locks, there is this like lump of hair. I have read a lot of books on locking, and styling. But I guess it just seems a little too soon. I am only 3 and 1/2 months in to my journey? Am I starting to lock?


I dunno. I figure I ask some of you all who have overcame this hurdle. Everyday I am trying to find a little more patience and remind myself why I got my beauties in the first place. It is so dry here in Detroit. It is like 10 degrees outside and it seems my hair is getting more and more brittle as the days go by. I have been a bad girl with the olive oil once even though my loctician said no. ( I know... I am a bad girl, *_*) but it was just too dry and I get scared sometimes. But I will be sure to harass her on Jan 9th when I go see her. Anywho what do you all think. Think I am starting to lock? Or is it all in my head?

MORE PICS!!!!!!

I couldn't rest until I showcased my curly q's for you guys!!!!!! Im wearing my hair out at work now and getting more compliments every day! My hair is filling in nicely, and I haven't put anything in it ( im sure this makes my consultant proud !!!! ;) Ashley you are the greatest girl!) I will be experimenting more in the upcoming months!!!!! Be Blessed Everyone!!!! And happy holidays!

Month 3

I can't believe I let my three month locversary come and pass me by! So much has happened this week it is rediculus. I was supposed to get my second reti on Nov. 21st, but some young "inexperienced" driver...(that's the nice way for me to put it..) slammed in to the side of me. Then I rescheduled, went back on Tues. Nov. 24th just to find out an hour later that someone broke in my house... ugh. So it was just drama drama drama! ANywho, I just thank God I am okay and that the baby wasn't with me in the car when that fool tried to do a u turn and slammed in to me. *_* However, thats that. My babies are doing well. I am starting to wear them out more and more. I notice the glares and stares but noone really says much. They are finally starting to fall in place and arent as fuzzy looking. My loctician says I am doing well, Just keep up with braiding and banding. Sorry for the cheesy pics.. lol no time to edit them on my own pc because that was taken too. Sigh. Dont you just love Detroit... not! ANywho thats it for me. I love MY HAIR!!!!!!

Can't Believe IT.....

I got my first 4.0 the other day can you believe it!!! I have been going to Devry University online for about a year now and I cannot believe this much time has passed. I was a little irratated though by the haters out there who like to talk nonsene saying things like, "well you know DeVry used to be a technical school." As if my 4.0 doesn't mean anything because I don't sit in a traditional classroom setting. I just brushed them off, what made the comment worse was that it came from a college dropout. Tsk Tsk Tsk my people my people. When are we going to learn to just be happy for one another. I finally have some credits under my belt. I have been going to school for five semesters straight, full time, as well as working full time and being the best wife and mother I can possibly be, so after working I still come home and cook and clean and play with the baby. Now tell me that my 4.0 is not an acheivement after you do the things I do and still make time for school. *sigh*
Well now that I have gotten that off my chest... My babies are progressing fine. I hope to have adigital camera soon so I can get more photo happy because my T Mobile Dash just isn't getting it. I haven't done much to my since the updo, Just freestylin'. My mom still loves playing in my hair, but she urks me with the whole.. "when they get long they gonna look pretty talk". Not that I should be urked by that but coming from a woman who has spent the past 49 years bladheaded I would think she would share a little sympathy. smh. I just smile and keep it moving though. She is still my pride and joy and hopefully her seeing me go through this, she will want some for herself one day. More pics to come soon in month 3. HOOOORAYYY TO ME! I never thought I could get a 4.0 in anything and I did it. Never thought I would have the strength to go natural but I'm doing it. The world better look out...You never know whats' next... Till next time yall!
