A new feature!

Today is the first day of a new feature on my blog called:

"Mani of the Day" or better known as MOTD!

Now if you don't know, I am a self-proclaim polish addict. I happen to LOVE doing my nails and I find it to be very therapeutic and calming for me. I'm able to block everything that's going around all around me and just concentrate on doing my nails.

To date I have over 100 polishes and counting. Just this past week I attended Nails Night Out in the city and came home with goodies from Nubar, No.6, Zoya, Jessie's Girl, Color Club etc. I spent $30 to get in and came home with a gift bag worth over $1,000. You KNOW I was the happiest girl in the world! I didn't even mention that between the nails polishes that were included in the gift bag and the ones I picked up in the swap, I came home with 17 polishes.

Awesome SQUARE.

So my very first MOTD is Diamond Cosmetics "Don't Teal My Heart Away". I happen to LOVE this company and their incredibly inexpensive nail polish($2!!!!!) and amazing customer service, I'm a fan for life!

Don't Teal My Heart Away is a gorgeous teal cream. Application was great, it was a bit thick but nothing I couldn't handle. I decided to use Nubar's Foundation Base Coat and Diamont Seal and Shine Topcoat this week. I'm going to see how many days I can go without chipping or tipwear!

Gives me fever!!!!!!!!!

A girl was getting bored with her hair, so I decided today to switch some things up a bit.

I set my hair with perm rods
Dipped it in hot water
and let those curls loose!

and......

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I've given myself the fever!!!!!!!!!

Randomness....

- I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you God, I'm going back to work!
- I was looking at some old hair photos and I miss my hair.
- But not enough for me to wear it out, winter haven't even started yet.
- I think I'm going to rock these kinky twist until May. I'll probably wear my hair out for my birthday in April.
- My hair is due for a henna
treatment....STAT
- and a trim....next month STAT
- as a matter of fact, I have to invest in some good clippers.

Random product ramblings....

- I really want to try Anita Grant's rhassoul deep conditioning cubes and their cafe latte leave-in conditioner, but the exchange rate SUCKS
- I really need to use up/get rid of these friggin Hair Nectars
- I can't wait to replenish my hair stock.
- I can't wait to whip up my deep conditioner mixture(Lustrasilk and Aubrey's, I'm coming back!!!!)
- hmmmm I need more castor oil
- goodness I'm running low on everything!!!!!!
- man I really want to try Ida's Auyverdic poo bar, but I really don't need anymore. I have enough for the next 2-3 years.

Oh well, nothing is being replenished until March.

Till next time!

Let's play catch up....

I decided in August that my hair was going to be on vacation, so I decided to re-visit kinky twist as a protective style for the colder months.



What made this time around different?



I've finally embraced my natural hair 100%! I realized this when I was in the city with my friend and of course she wasn't a big fan of my banging fro, that frankly, I didn't give a flying fuck if she liked my hair. I love my hair, I love that it sets me apart from everyone else, I love that it has a personality and that its getting BIGGER! I didn't need my mother or my sisters validation anymore. I happened to love my hair now more than ever and I can't wait to wear more out styles in the summer.



As far as products go, I've kept true to my word and haven't purchased anything else for my hair........except herbs and powders, but other than that, nada. As a matter of fact I'm running dangerously low on all my products at this moment, except KBB's hair nectar(I have about 3 bottles left over after I gave one to my aunt in law).



The end!
