I am trying to do 5 days twisted 2 days out for 10 weeks. There really arent any rules I dont think, you set the rules for yourself but the overall challange is to stay twisted for more than 1 day. as long as you stay consistant

Ok, that sounds easy enough. I'm in!!! I will alternate between cornrows and twists though.

Look at you --- accessorizing with the hat! I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I decided to come up for air and visit. Work is still taking a lot of my spare time. I visit every now and then when the home computer is available. For now I'm only updating when I tried a new style or product. Chat later.

I also wanted to let you know that I put a thread on the Curly MeetUp (A Houston Curlies MeetUp - We Are Overdue). I'll volunteer to coordinate a date and place for us- if the response is there. If you are interested, please visit , comment, suggest. I think June was the last time I attended a meetup. We'll see what happens.

Hey girl!!! Glad to see yah!!

I posted in the meet-up thread, so I hope we can get this done real soon. I think we are well over due!! So are you going to do a mine review of the Ori products?

Thanks for responding. I have a few friends and family (mom and sister) members who are natural as well. I have been begging my mom to join us at a meet up but, she chickens out at the last minute because she thinks she'll be the oldest one there. My sister joined us when we had the meetup at Pappadeux's.

You know, I have enough Ori products (the shampoo, milk leave-in, mango curler, etc.,)to do a review. Maybe this weekend.

I'll be looking for your review, and please tell your mother how old I am!! Natural hair doesn't have an age cap, in fact there are more mature naturals than we think.

Alright then... I like this challenge because I so don't feel pressured. However, I am up at 11:44pm twisting. I used up my 2 days out this week already!!

LaToya28 wrote:Wind blown and all, it still looks good! That's a huge plus for natural hair. I'm seriously thinking about joining you and Crissy for the twisting challenge. I want super retention!

I'm getting retention and awesome definition by staying twisted more than 1 day. I plan to stay twisted for at least 5 days, but I would love to stay twisted at least 2 weeks. That's my goal...

Good Morning...

Well we have 23 days before Christmas. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to purchase a real tree or use my artificial tree. The funny thing is....my sons don't care one way or the other if I put up a tree. I guess that they've out grown all that. REALLY? So I guess to get them back to their inner child, I'm going to go way out this year. I'm going to put up a tree as well as light outside!!!

This should keep me busy Saturday morning, and Sunday afternoon; and it will help me keep my hands out of my hair so I can stay twisted...LOL

I'll post a few pictures later...gotta get ready for work. Now that I try to put on make-up before I leave instead of in the car I'm making Xander late for school again.

Have a great day ladies!!

Title Change...

LOL I put my make up on at my desk! hahahahahahaaa that child of mine drives me nuts in the morning! GRRRRRRRRRRR!

I think I am going to get a real tree this year!

oh and today is the test. I put the lipgloss on at 9am.....tick tick tick! hahahahaha I will let you know the verdict!

Y'all look at me...**dancing at my desk** I'm rockin a hat at work for the first time ever!!!!



Okay....my eyebrows don't match. ROTLFMBO...I'm going to get this make up right even if it kills me!! LOL

@Sweet...do you think they are trying to drive up crazy on purpose. That Xander starts counting down the time about 7:45!! I just want to pop him in the mouth!! "Mom it's 7:48 I'm gonna be late AGAIN!" too funny!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day.

SN...I can't stand taking pictures with my phone!!
