Wednesday Hair

Pictures of Wednesday hair...I braided already stretched hair into medium plaits over night, in the a.m I unbraided each and just did big flat twists across the top towards the back and did a high pony. The hair is just tucked under and pinned down and viola!

Monday Hair

So my hair regimen is going great, loving the results I am getting from my hair. Sunday I washed using Keracare cream shampoo which is wonderful, I deep conditioned using Mizani Curl Relenish, then used Cantu Shea Butter leave in with a little olive oil and finally blow dried, my hair has been great and feels great. Afterwards to style I twisted with Darcey's Botanicals Madagascar Vanilla Styling Cream with a little leave in on the ends. My first intention was to wear it pinned up in the twists but the next morning I decidef to do an out style just cause I haven't worn it ou in a while. Results.turned out great. Check out pics below.

Birthday Hair

 *Tried to get this uploaded yesterday, but you know how technology works*

So here is my birthday hair, I think it turned out pretty cute even though it's not as defined as I wanted but it will do for today.  I have been trying to upload a small video  but that's not working out too good for me, so the only thing I can do is post pics until then.  Once again I got this idea from Westndnbeauty, her braid n curls always turn out so great.  So I used the Shea Moisture Smoothie and with a little Africas Best Herbal Oil. to braid and then added some rollers to the ends.

So it did not turn out as defined as I wanted it to but it's big hair like I like so I wasn't messed up about it. I think know that I need something a little more water based and something good for hold, hey I used what I had.  But since it was my birthday I ordered myself a little sumthin sumthin from Darcy's Botanicals and plan on trying this style again with it, hopefully it makes it here before wash time next weekend, I will let you know when it arrives. Until then time to twist and pin my hair back up for the week.

Birthday Weekend

Wow so another year has rolled around wich means it's birthday time.  I will be 32, wow how time is rolling but I still feel like a spring chicken, lol.
My birthday is officially on Monday but I will begin celebrating on tomorrow of course and the rest of the weekend.  This year will be different though, no partying with the girls, nope, just me and hubby this time doing what I want to do.  I want to do something "couply", that's not a word but you know what I mean.  Like I said in my past post, we have been through a rough last month and just need a time to ourselves so we are just gonna have fun together, I surely have some things in mind for us to do.
So I am surely in need of a cute not too much work hair style and ran across Westndnbeauty's site Confessions of a Blog Vixen. I love the braid and curl so I think I will give it a try, my hair is still stretched from the previous washing and blow dry session on last Sunday so this is the perfect time.  Check out the video below and stay tuned for more pictures soon.

Knitted Projects

So I have been knitting like crazy just staying busy and because I love to knit, very relaxing.  My bestfriend had her baby on last Tuesday and my sisters baby will be here on this coming Monday. I knitted some newborn hats for the both of them and a sleep sack for my bestie.  They turned out cute.

 Hats for my special nieces

 Hood I made for myself, didn't like so I gave

to my daughter, it matches her coat.

 socks for my sisters baby, valentine socks next.

I actually made these hoods for some one that was supposed to pick them up on Sunday but didn't, I hate making things for people after they say they want it and then they don't follow through. Now I have to find something to do with them, ughhhh!
