Great morning!! Hubby surprised me with a beautiful rose gold and black watch which I am absolutely loving! Decided to sport it today along with a high curly ponytail and one of my new Milani lipsticks! This one is Flamingo Pose and it’s totally popping off my lips. It screams spring even on this rainy cool Florida day.
Yaaay!!!
It’s wash day and I’ve never been so excited to put my hair under water! Yesterday was the last day for straight hair but I think I went out with a bang.
Stay tuned for highlighted curls full of texture! Can’t wait! Here’s a look at yesterday’s hair
Sooo….I took a trip to Walgreens and picked up some really pretty Miliani lipsticks for spring. I am really excited to try these bad boys out! They were on sale for $4.49 a piece! Stay tuned!
It’s been less than a week since I had my hair professionally highlighted and pressed but it’s official…I miss my curls!!
Typically straight hair is fun for me for about a week, then I tend to get bored. I’ve been trying to get a little creative with my straight hair but my stylist did such an incredible job on my press that my hair is too silky and straight to hold a style!
I started Tuesday with a nice side flat twist but by lunch it just refused to stay!
This whole plan of keeping my hair straight for two weeks is starting to go down hill. I’ll keep you guys posted! In the mean time here’s a look at my straight hair this week. Rolling with a simple low pony today.

I finally did it! Last night I got my hair professionally highlighted and pressed!! The first time I’ve let anyone in my hair in 3 years! Needless to say I was extremely nervous. I entrusted my tresses to a young lady by the name of Toya Rucker and let me just say, she did an extraordinary job!
She started with a shampoo followed by a slight blowout and some time under the dryer. Next she applied a product by Redkin called Chromatic using the foil highlight method. It’s actually a clear formula that lifted the natural color of my hair 3 shades lighter. It was very cool!
Afterwards she washed and deep conditioned my hair. Following that she applied a color called Golden Apricot by Redkin to all of my hair and I spent about 20 minutes under the dryer. She washed and then it was on to to the blowout and press!
Before she started she applied a product called It’s a 10 Silk Express Miracle Silk Leave-in. You guys I have never felt my natural hair so straight and light! I was in awe! After the initial amazement came the unfortunate part…the trim. My hair needed a trim fairly bad and although she was delicate I pretty much threw my growth challenge out the window. On the upside my hair is healthier!
So…all in all I am over the moon with the results! Here are some pics of the details.
Happy Friday! I’ve been totally off of my growth challenge grind this week. Shame shame. Ah well!! I’ll get back to it next week. As for today, I decided to go with a fun cascading curls up-do. Perfect for Friday!
Hi beauties! Today I went with a messy twistout up-do. I twisted with my staple Eco Styler Gel with Olive oil after deep conditioning. Curls were pinned up and to the side. I love looks like this for work! They are edgy but somehow sophisticated.
This weekend I decided that I wanted to rock some twists one more time for my growth challenge grind which ends in April. Unfortunately I’ve been so busy preparing for the awesomeness God is about to manifest in my life that after doing my deep conditioning regimen I only had time to do some medium to large size twits. Of course those only lasted me a day BUT it actually worked out perfect because the texture I was able to achieve today has me hair crushing on myself!!
Soooo here are the details:
Deep conditioned with Creme of Nature’s Intensive Conditioning Treatment
Twisted with Eco Styler gel with Olive Oil and wore twists for one day
Unravelled twists on day 2 finger combed the roots and applied a light layer of Eco styler
Finished off by applying a light coating of Olive Oil Moisturizing Shine Serum
