Flax Seed Gel (FSG)

Hey yall,
So Saturday night I made flax see gel and I had plans on wearing my hair out this week. It has been pretty warm here but as usual the weather changed and it has been a bit chilly. So I co-washed this morning and decided to shingle my hair in the same four sections I had co-washed in. I used my denmen brush to smooth the FSG through my hair and also raked it with my fingers. I have used the gel for twist outs but this was my first shingle. I must admit at first I thought that it wouldn't be enough hold but as my hair dried the hold got a bit harder. I am planning to wear my hair like this until my next wash day next week.
Xoxo,
TwistedMarie
P.S. Have any of you tried FSG before? How did you like it? Please comment below :)

Co-washed Twists

Hey yall,
I co-washed yesterday with Sauve's Rosemary & Mint condish (review coming soon). While my hair was wet I oiled my hair and scalp with castor oil and then placed my twists into two big braids to help stretch them. Below is the pic of them a bit fuzzy but I'm going to keep them in for another week. I'm off to enjoy this near 80 degree weather in Atlanta! :)

Cabin Trip (Blue Ridge, GA)

Hey yall,
I am back as promised with a few pics. I had an absolute blast even though the drive up the mountain was insane, so insane I had to pullover and let David drive lol.  I wore my hair in the banded ponytail until Saturday morning since we spent the night before in the hot tub my hair was extremely frizzy. Yesterday I decided to do some medium sized twists and I wasn't paying attention and ended up with multiple sized twists so I will most likely keep them in for the next week or two, hopefully I can find some styles for them. Happy Valentine's Day to yall I hope everyone enjoyed there day.
XOXO,
TwistedMarie








 **Ok the above 1st pic is the banded ponytail, the 2nd is David and I and sadly I didn't take a pic of anyone else it was six other people lol. The 3rd & 4th pics are the inside view of the cabin(house). The 5th & 6th pics are the road leading up to the cabin and then the outside of the cabin.The 7th pic is David looking out at the mountains(this wasn't even the top it was thirty more miles up lol) And last but not least is the pic of me with the twists.**
P.S. I am truly saddened by the passing of a diva  Ms. Whitney Houston, all I can say is I grew up during the 90s and remember dancing in my room with a hair brush to all her music(I still do it now). Her voice was incredible and classic, she had strength in her voice that touched everyone. We must remember that we are all human and celebrity or not we all have our own personal demons. Despite her struggles I have always thought she was so beautiful...I pray for her family,especially her daughter. Cherish life yall please.

Winter Vacation




The above picture can't explain how excited I am for my first vacation of the year.I have been counting the days at work on my calender and thought this pic was exactly how I feel.I have packed my bag and found Louie a sitter(he didn't behave well last year with the other dogs) I'm not much into New Year's Resolutions but I did say I wanted to travel more this year. So the first trip is to a cabin in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains it's about an hour away from Atlanta , plenty of pics to come. Oh by the way nothing new is really going on with my hair I co-washed on Monday and have been rocking a banded low pony tail.
XOXO,
