I feel as though I have abandoned this blog (shame on me), a number of episodes has caused me to be m.i.a; from a broken laptop adapter, to my new job, and next week starting school again I will be a busy body, but never too busy to stop by and update on my progress.
After my last wash day I decided to get another kinky braid set..if your asking whether or not I ever get tired of them the answer is yes and no; yes because I've been getting the itch to try something different, and no because of my motto, "if its not broke, leave it alone" (of course the fact that it's the best economic decision for me right now doesn't hurt ether ;-))

my current wish list consist of Shea butter and coca butter, I am also low on all oils except EVOO, having the braids in gives me a peace of mind to put that in the back of my mind until they are really needed. It's so funny the things that matter and dont matter once you have completely learned about yourself and your hair; once upon a time I had to have a stand full of products because it made me smile seeing the variety, but i learned narrowing products down gives me a chance to focus on the specifics of the product and the best way it works for my hair. I strongly recommend this method if you are seeking for something that works. Natural hair journey is a learning process and there will be many opportunities to master and tame your hair (that's if you want too, untamed is just as beautiful, I have my day.
Yesterday I ran into a natural who was rocking a puff, of course in San Diego you dont see naturals ofter so I complimented and asked her about her regimen? This is when she started to tell me her mom and sister always tease her about her hair being undone and dry..she had no idea what to put in it, to my surprise it was her mom and sis who were blind because her hair was jaw droopingly beautiful. I began to inform her of some products she can get locally and online, I even gave her the kimmaytube leave in mixture (if yall haven't figured it out I am in love). She jotted down all the info on a piece of paper, I reminded her to come back and let me know how they worked for her. Being able to help made my day, I pray my enthusiasm and hair joking encourages her to stay stay natural despite of what anyone thinks.
It amazes me how many women make the decision to become natural alone without the support of fam, friends, or the web; how brave and courageous, i bow down to them ALL, its like plunging into a pool without having any clue of how deep it is..I LOVE IT!!!
