New Years Resolution.

I'm going to try my hardest to stick with my New Year's Resolution until I've reached my goals. I don't mind sharing my goals, so here goes!

1. I must get accepted into graduated school this year. I'm not sure if I will take the gre or not, but I must start working somewhere, and I plan to start filling out my applications soon.
2. I must be 145lbs or less by October 6, 2012. POINT BLANK! I am determined to get my sexy back lol. I loved being that size & weight and I gotta work hard to accomplish this goal. It's not hard, but I must focus and keep my eyes on the prize. I'm going to get this weight off me.
3. I must travel out of the country this year. I love traveling and I've only been out of the country once in my life. I went to Negril, Jamaica for vacation and I had a blast and I want to travel more and meet and see other people and their cultures.
4. I must aim for a meat free diet, at least for this year. I haven't eaten pork since I was a small child, and I haven't eaten beef since 4/1/07. I'm trying to stay away from chicken and fish, but mostly chicken. Meat is full of fat and I'm trying to stay away from it, until I get to my goal weight. I love to eat salmon and I'm going to try my best to avoid eating it.

HaPPy NeW YeaRs!

Wow, the year of 2011 flew by, as with every other year. In all honesty, it really didn't go by so quickly for me. I hope everyone had a great holiday and is ready to get back to work on Monday lol. It's back to the basics. I'm not ready to go back to school or back to work....(lol I don't have a job). SO...I read my horoscope the other day and it said that the year of 2012 will be a great year for me, both financially, healthwise, and in my relationship. What's even funnier is the fact that it said that I would see these full benefits and rewards in October of 2012. In other words, I will have to wait till the end of this year to seek the benefits of this year. HOW GREAT!!! Anyways, I hope that everyone has a great year and sticks with their New Year's Resolution. I hope to stick to mines as well.

                                     Love ya!
                                        

First Day as a Natural

So after 5 minutes of wearing my hair in it's curly state.....I decided to try something a lil bit different.

I really wanted to try a puff. After chopping my hair, I realized that my hair, in it's wet state, would not fit completely into a ponytail. I gathered some strings and tied my hair down. I was able to keep this style for approximately 2 hours, before I began feeling a severe headache. I was quick in removing those damn strings from my head. Apparently I don't know just how tight to tie the strings lol.

After rushing to remove the strings from my head, I went to bed. My head was hurting so mad, that all I could think of was sleeping. I woke up to an even bigger catastrophe. My hair was starting to tangle up and become stiff. AGH! I shampooed and did a deep condition/hot oil treatment. My hair was so soft and manageable afterwards.....so I decided to blow my hair out!

 After blowdrying my hair (with the tension method), I decided to do some braided two strand twists. Basically, these are twists that are braided at the root. This particular method helps the twists to last longer. It took approx 7-8hrs, but they were cute.

 

                                    

Omg the twist out from these twist was stunning. It was my favorite hairstyle ever. I got tons of compliments when I wore my hair in the twist out. It lasted for about 3 days. I kept the twists in for about 3 weeks.

I really love my natural hair!
