First Protective Style of 2015

So last weekend I was beyond lazy and it was kind of chilly here, so I decided to wash my hair and do a protective style. I wanted to do mini twist but my bestie has had my blow dryer on hostage for months. So I washed my hair and decided to do a set of braids, I used the Cantu twist and lock gel and love the results. My hair has managed to stay frizz free all week, but still soft and shiny. I honestly can't tell yall how long these braids too because it was a three day weekend so I was in no rush to count time or finish. But I will say that I started Saturday afternoon and took several breaks and then finished before 11. See the pic below.

Selfie Wednesday

PS I'm washing my hair this weekend it was too cold last weekend I just twisted it on that old braid out 🙈

Braid Out and Juice Fast

Ahh today is day four of my fast, I'm juicing and allowing myself one meal within reason. Each day gets better, trust me. Anyhoo, I did a braid out with twelve braids using Ecostyler Krystal and Lottabody styling milk.

I'm a picture loving girl and I'm sure we are all guilty of having tons of selfies that weren't post worthy right!?! Well here are some of mine enjoy

End Of the Year Ramblings and 6th Day Hair

So 2014 is coming to a close and I have to say that it has been an amazing year! I have truly learned so much and just want to thank each and everyone of you that read, comment and share my blog with people everyday! I remember when I first posted an entry and then when I felt like I was talking to myself(before I discovered blog statistics) lol. But you guys have been amazing and I wanted to post my famous list of things that 2014 has taught  me. 

1) one day I will master a roller set on my hair I just need to keep at it. 

2) dry sets for twists and braids always give me the best results.

3) polishing my nails two hours before bed is a big no no! 

4) I stepped out of my comfort zone for 10 out of the 12 months this year and it felt great. I have always been such a planner and am learning to allow myself to live life more, relax and enjoy it! 

5) I will never apologize for my insane makeup and nail polish collection...once a product junkie always a product junkie.

6) I have about 4 friends and until this year did I realize less is better...they have become my family

7) although I love a beat face(makeup) and a fresh mani...a smile may be my favorite thing to wear everyday.

8) we all have flaws but I have learned to accept them and love them (some days I stumble)

9) I'm a homebody and can really enjoy myself at home but still enjoy getting dolled up and seeing the town. 

10) brunch is awesome and I need to figure out a way to have it everyday.

I hope you guys have an awesome and amazing New Year!

Three Strand Twist Out

Last Saturday I decided to re-twist my hair but didn't feel like washing it. I thought a three strand twist out would be an awesome way to get a defined twist out. I placed my hair in about 20 twists and took them down this morning. I only used Ecostyler Krystal and Pink for this twist out, but forgot to take a picture with the twist in. Merry Christmas love bugs!

Braid Out, Plaid and Glasses

I promised I would post a pic of my hair! This was a braid out about a week old, I took pics today of course it's frizzy but it is stretched. I used Krystal and Pink Ecostyler gel and placed my hair in 8 braids...and of course like normal to maintain it at night I braid my hair back up and then don a large satin bonnet!

P.S. The glasses are from Warby Parker, they are such an awesome company for every pair that they sell they donate a pair to someone in need kind like the concept of Toms.  I purchased this pair back in November and order two more pairs yesterday. All glasses are 95 bucks for single vision and they even let you try before you buy! Check them out if you are in need!
