Fashionisto in the Making

I just had to share this pic of Kingston Rossdale during NY Fashion Week. He's too cute and dresses better than most of the guys I know except maybe my brother.

My New Addiction

I'm a traitor.

I've abandoned my go-to hairstyle for another.

Two strand twists have treated me well since I BC'ed but it was time to explore other options.  My new love... BANDING.  Banding is a method of stretching out you hair.  You take sections of hair and wrap hair elastics down the length of the hair which prevents shrinkage. You remove the bands and voila, instant length.  Super simple, right? I've noticed that I can see individuals coils a lot more with banding which is fun.    Now when using hair bands I don't wrap them around so tight that my hair can barely move because then it starts to straighten my hair.  Whenever I do finally decide to straighten my hair, I'll probably use this to stretch my hair and much as possible and then blow out/flat iron from there.  Although I know my hair is growing (I hit the 4 month mark already **insert dancing BBM icon here**) I would love to get as much length out of it as I can WITHOUT heat.  Now I don't get the definition that I would from two-strand twistouts but I love the look of it... just a fluffy fro and occasional coils. I do wonder what it would be like if I banded my twists? Hmm... that's next on my list.  If you've tried it before please let me know how it worked out for you.

Finally Henna-ing

So on Friday I was out for Fashion's Night Out here in the city.  And trust just walking around SoHo was a fashion show.  People were dressed to impress for sure.  And although I loved my outfit my hair was NOT behaving at all.  AT ALL!  Therefore my pics may not see the light of day (I did get to take one with my blog idol, Angel of Concrete Loop though.) Something about my hair just didn't feel right.  It's not that it didn't feel moisturized it just didn't act right, which got me thinking that maybe I've been moisturizing a little too much.  Now I don't know if that's the reason why but hey, gives me a reason to try my henna gloss that I've had in the freezer so why not?!  Plus I'm super lazy and don't feel like going out to watch the big Penn State/Alabama game at a bar so I'm gonna use game time to hang out and chill w/ my henna and a shower cap.  I'll follow up tomm.  Oh and...

LET'S GO STATE!!!

JoJo- In The Dark

I loved her when she first came out and now she's all grown up.

This is the first single from her newly released free mixtape "Can't Take That Away From Me"

From what I've heard I'm excited for her new music.

Bear With Me

I've kinda put this site on the backburner because I've had a lot going on lately.  I've been trying to focus on getting my personal life in order so blogging has suffered.  But since I last updated, I've tried a new conditioner which means product review.  Also I won a Creme of Nature argan oil shine pack so I'll be writing about that in the near future.  Once I get the hang of everything I'm trying to do, the posts will come flooding in, so please bear with me.

P.S. I've got a wedding coming up at the beginning of October and I'm on the hunt for the perfect hairstyle.  Any suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment :)
