Beautiful Winter

This year has flown by so quickly, can you believe its July already. It dawned on me that soon it will be Summer, the weather will be unbearably hot and the nights will be mosquito infested. I want to really enjoy what is left of Winter - the chill in the air won't be there for much longer. Soon layering will be a thing of the past, sleeping in will be close to impossible. No more complaining about the about the cold; instead I will layer and  keep the red cappuccinos close by.

About my hair

I attempted the high afro puff - I think I just managed a puff. Because of the very coarse texture of my 4c hair I couldn't get the puff to be as high as I wanted. I have been keeping my hair moisturized with deep conditioning treatments every two weeks, for locking in the moisture I use sheer butter and black castor oil. I have done minimal protective styling during this winter - my hair doesn't respond well to weeks upon weeks of braids.

Red Wall

The red wall behind me is everything. Today I wore one of my favorite colors- yellow and I paired the skirt with a denim shirt. It started out as a lazy Saturday; the plan was to lie on the couch and watch Dstv catch up all day. We later decided since that is exactly what we did yesterday, it would do us better to go out and about, so we went out for lunch and mingled with other humans...and I got to dress up.

I am so inlove with my TWA (teeny weeny afro). Cutting my hair was the best thing I could have done.

Thrifting was never something I used to do. I have been inspired by some of my blogger friends who find the most amazing pieces in thrift shops. I always envied this weird habit of shopping from other peoples closets - I of course never thought I could do it. Until I started..its the most thrilling thing. Going through a rack of super cheap and previously owned clothing, hoping to find a gem and then finding that gem.

I did the big Chop this past weekend. I am now sporting a very adorable short- hair- cut, if I may say so myself.  I'm planning to keep my hair natural and see where it goes.
