Tennesssee Natural Hair Care and Wellness Expo

Time is almost here, three more days until The Expo and I am so excited.  I am even wondering should I keep my hair in the twists they are in now, or let it do what it do like I am sure everyone else will, lol.  Anyways I am so excited at who will be there, one of my favorite stores the Bubble Bistro will be there with all their goodies, the owner graduated from high school with me, she has some great stuff ,check out her shop. 
FYI: the bath bombs and body oil are great, and my husband loves the Skin Vacuum, black soap that has cleared all his razor bumps away, seriously.

Sarah Elliott-Owner/Designer of Sarenzo Beads, can't wait to get some of those.

Some of Memphis own

The Philosophy and Politics of Natural Hair - Pearl "The Hair Deva" Walker, of Legacy Locks, Braids, and Natural Styles.  I will definitely check this shop out when school starts back and I am back on a regular pay schedule (clearing my throat).

Transitioning to Chemical-Free Hair - Takeisha Berry-Brooks, Owner/Stylist, A Natural Hair Affair Beauty Lounge.  I have done a consult at her shop but did not end up getting my hair done but my sis in law goes there and loves it.

There will also be a class on Becoming Fibroid Free, I will surely like to get into that one, I currently do have uterin fibroids that are shrinking but may also be causing some problems so I would like to learn more about that.

Excitement is in the air, stay tuned.

Blogger issues making me blue

I am having some serious Blogger issues and they are making me more than blue...
I can't seem  to leave comments on blogs if the comment box is posted under the post but if it is a pop up window it works well.  I also am noticing that when looking at other blogs I follow the page is showing that I am not signed in and apparently I am cause I am trying to leave a comment.  And third, I don't know if my followers are able to leave me a comment, if not please shoot me an email and say something to the effect of  "hey girl, can't leave a comment." 
This problem keeps coming and going and I don't know why but it is very frustrating for me.  If somebody knows what to do please help.

I hate not being able to leave comments on some of my favorite blogs :(

4th of July fun

Fourth of July has come and gone and unfortunately school will be here soon (crying inside), as much as I can't wait to get a paycheck, I really don't want to go back to the school: that's another story though.

Here are a few pics from Lake Blora in Killeen, TX where we visited my mom. We had so much fun on the waterslide and paddle boating, after 4 hours we finally left. Enjoy!

Sew Not About Hair 3, well maybe a little...

Ok back on my crafting thing...
The other day while scanning my craft blogs I ran across  the cutest bracelet and decided I wanted to make it. Now I had  never done this  before but I thought  what the hey, it turned out cute if I do say so...

double wrapped beaded bracelet

Then I decided to make some matching earrings

 

I don't have holes in my ears so I do clipons

The whole set

    Since this was my first time making these I 

just bought some regular wooden beads to see 

how it would turn out.  The next one 

will be more stunning.

I already have one order :)

Hair
I had a wedding to go to on Saturday, so on Tuesday I washed my hair and did a braid out everyday so it could be stretched by the big day cause I was going to do a cute style all pinned up and what not...so I thought.  I bought the hair pins and got to working,  the wedding started at 6 and it was around 4:30 when I started.  No I did not have plenty of time, do we women ever have plenty of time.  Had to get kids to sitter and still get dressed.  Hubby left at 4:45 to drop girls off so I started pinning: first style, second style, third style, none of the styles were working.  For starters it is humid here and the humidity just had my hair a poofy
mess, nothing was helping my hair and I was afraid to add any hair lotion for fear of more frizz.  Frustration was setting in now. Hubby calls at 5:15, he was on the way home and my hair still wasn't done, what to do.  So guess what I did? Got one of my good stretch bands, wrapped it around my neck, and Viola, a hair style...

 There are those thin sides I was 

talking about, still working on them.

other side

Still got compliments with this style though :)

Sunshine Award

Wow, I won a Sunshine Award, I would surely like to thank Diva Locks for this award and for supporting my blog, it is nice to know my blogging is somewhat interesting, lol.  Make sure you stop by and check her out and the little diva out, she has some cute hair accessories going on.

 Here's how it works:
Thank the person who awarded you and link back to them
Tell one thing about yourself
Then nominate 10 blogs
Stop by and let them know you chose them!

One thing about myself: I HAVE to have a snack before going to bed, always, everynight.  I feel like  am going to starve through the night if I don't nibble on something before falling asleep.

My Big Girl: She is obsessed with painting her nails.

My Baby Girl: Has a blanket that we can't get rid of, she drags it everywhere, out of town, sleepovers, she even wants to take it to kindergarten with her. 

I love so many different blogs that I love to visit, from hair to crafting blogs here are the ones I nominated, check them out.
