MODELZ OF DISTINCTION

On March 5th 2011 we had our first show. This was also my first time performing in a fashion show ever. We did a scene called Africa. It actually went pretty well considering.

jANUARY hAIR . . .

Last month my hair went though quite a few transformations. I was home basically the entire month and I had the time to do whatever I wanted to my hair just short of cutting it.

(1) It started off all nice and curled. Had to blow it dry first. The take the flat iron to my roots and curl the rest with a curling iron. Probably took me a lil over a hour to do it.

(2) The I eventually had to wash my hair and I decided to just leave it natural for a little bit. Just had to put on a little (a lot) leave in conditioner and let it air dry. Also I put a a growth promoting oil on m scalp.

(3) After a while I had to wash it again to get all the conditioner and dirt out my hair and instead of leaving it alone I combed out all my curls and oiled my scale and hair. Then left in a ponytail for a few days.

(4) Then I had to re-comb my hair out. I did little section and platted the sections after they were all detangled.

(5) I then took my blow dryer with the comb attachment and went through my hair to straighten it some at the roots so it be all ready for when I decided to curl it again.

(6) I curled it again !

When I'm home this is a normal occurrence, at school I have to do like all of that in one day.

Natural hair is so much more fun to play with ! lol.

I'm sick of the snow, the cold, and wearing this black coat almost everyday. I am a warm weather kinda person and my wardrobe and clothing purchases reflects this.

When winter first started I was ok with it, I hate cold weather but it wasn't that bad yet. Walking to class wasn't that bad during the day and I didn't leave the building at night if possible. Now that Christmas has passes and winter break is basically over I'm done with winter. I don't want it so snow again. I'm tired of icy roads and my little brother being home ALL DAY with me. The cold weather makes me so UNMOTIVATED to get dresses. All I wanna wear is thermal shirts, sweat pants, and my furry boots when I leave the house. (My mother is in the process of trying to throw away my furry boots)

Then theres my BOREDOM. There is only so much one can do while home alone. I draw and make things but even that get repetitive and tiresome. I even clean the house in my boredom. SMH. I miss being able to just throw on a sun dress and sit outside reading a book. Or ride my bike around my neighborhood then up to the park where I usually see someone I know. That kind of stuff just can't happen in the winter.

In the Spring and Summer you can be more carefree and wild. In the Winter you have to plan more and be prepared all the time. So all I can say now is FUCK THIS SNOW, FUCK THIS COLD . . . wake me up when SPRING begins. . . lls.

tHE wEDDING ! & mY hAIR !

This is the end result of my hair troubles. I pulled the middle back and did a mini bump and slicked the rest back into a little bun.

It took a lot of leave in conditioner and working of my curls to get them to behave. lol. It also didn't take as long as I thought it would to get it done and this was my first attempt. It wasn't as exciting or as fancy as I wanted my hair to look BUT my job as the Maid of Honor that day was to help my BFF and make HER look good. I didn't mind fading into the background some. The wedding was lovely. Short, sweet, and to the point just how she wanted it. Gosh I love that girl.
