IntelligentBeauty;-) journey to mini twists/spring time regimen

Hey chica! Just dropping by to say hello!

yo, where u @?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING LADIES:

I know it's been a looonggg time. You gals look great, though. Everyone's hair looks like it is growing by leaps and bounds!!

So what have I been up to? Busy with family. I have decided to homeschool my boys. So I have been consumed with the subject. We have been having alot of family fun.

Destiny and I have been having fun too. I have been posting pics on facebook, though. It seems to be helping alot of women out. So far there are about 8 women at have converted to natural hair since I first posted my transition pics until now. I am loving it . So happy to help by example. Here is the link below of my second album of natural hair only. It is current. Enjoy!!

Thanks Ladies.

wheeww!! good luck on homeschooling! hats off to you cuz i barely got the patience for homework!

ur looking good and doesnt it feel good to recruit i mean i dont walk around holding people's perm hostage but it feels nice to know u can be an inspiration to others. i think my toll is at about 6, lol. then u get bombarded with questions, i pass on what i know n learned but i always advise them to seek what works for THEIR hair n do research!

Hey IB! I keep up with you and your family on FB. I often wish you were MY mom! Many parents don't do that much with their kids and to homeschool them on top of it is a plus! Proud of ya and happy for your boys!

Happy Thanksgiving IB,

I have missed you! Congratulations on the homeschooling of your sons ... that's great and I commend you as well.

Your hair looks great - Destiny is flourishing.

Keep up the good work.

@Nubie, thanks for the blessings.
Yes, it feels great that you can inspire other women to see their nature beauty. It's so funny though. When they are thinking about transitioning over, they always private message me and tell me not to tell anyone..... . I just think that is hilarious!!!!

@Poet, thank you for keeping up with me on FB and your kind words.

@BBD, I miss you too. Now with homeschooling on the plate along with life, I rarely have time to check out my fav blogs... But it's all good!!
Thanks for your kind words. Bella is looking great, as well.

Good Sunday morn,

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Mine was very nice.

Destiny has been in DC under my hat for 2 days........... . She is very happy. She needed that since the blow out I did. I have her covered in AOHSR and EVOO, then on the second day I added Vatika oil.
I plan to wear a ponypuff for church. Then tonight try another twisted updo. Tia has been inspiring me with her updo styles on her blog.
We will see............................

HAVE A GREAT WEEK DOLLS!!!!

Hi IB...

Homeschooling? Amazing...just think of the fun you are going to have. I am more excited about the field trips you will get to take. I think that home schooling is very innovative and it allows you to bring different perspectives into your children's education.

Me on the other hand....that would not work. I remember when all I had to do was let Xander read to me for 30 minutes after 10 minutes I was like this... He struggled with reading and he was calling words. You know what I mean. We made it...I had everyone on board. He read in the car...you know I couldn't fall asleep, he read to my mom and his brother. It worked!!!

Sounds like to you are still doing a wonderful job taking care of Destiny. 8 months since your BC..WOW time sure is flying by!!

Hey KNH,

You are too funny with the ......
I am excited about this new journey and expect great things out of it.

HEY EVERYONE,

I am loving everyone's new avi..................BEAUTIFUL!!

Great news: I was called to be on the Dr Oz show. This happened because I took my hubby to a Dr Oz show about 2 months ago. (HE LOVES DR OZ). They emailed all the guests and asked who wanted to be on a segment and if so email a pic with info. So I emailed my pic with info and was chosen. They unfortunately had to cut my segment and I just ended up as a studio audience member with my hubby, which was fine. I wanted to be with him anyway. It was a terrific show, where we recieved 10 prizes total.
Well last week I recieved a call from the woman, who I was corresponding with on the show. She explained she really wanted to use me on a segement on an upcoming show. I told her "YES! When?" She explained that it would be a 2 day shoot. Then we proceeded to make transportation arrangements to NYC and back home again. So last Thursday, was the first "field run" in a supermarket with 3 other women. It was so much fun. Then this Thursday is the studio appearance. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anywho, the segment I am in will be about supervalue food. I don't know the air time yet. But I will keep you posted.

So now for Destiny, I am thinking about a spiral/roller set but then I was thinking about blowing her out and creating a cinnabun or twist out.

Any suggestions??????????????????????????

Omg that is soooo awesome! Anything you do to Destiny will be beautiful! But I vote for Spirals!

Dr. OZ!!! You must keep us posted!!! I vote for the cinnabun!!!

Congratulations on the Dr. Oz segment! Indeed keep us posted when it will air. I'm voting for the twistout!

OMG the home schooling and then the show!! You've got so many great things going on!

Wow, congrats IB, that's terrific. Please keep us informed when the airdate will take place. I like Dr. Oz too.

Wow that is awesome!! I so excited for you IB! I can't wait to see your lovely face on Dr. Oz

And I think the cinnabon would be beautiful as well as the spiral. Maybe do the spiral first and the blow out after that? Just a thought!

Hi again,

So I don't know why I can't multiquote and post reply.

But anyway, thanks for the congrats and the votes. I am getting nervous and excited all over again.
For Destiny, I am really leaning toward a spiral set. The cinnabun is pretty
(I tried it for work tonight). But I want something that would enhance my front and side. I don't think my back will be seen too much.... .
I forgot to mention what my hair looked like for last Thursday's shoot. My hubby suggested I just wear my curls. I was so SHOCKED and HAPPY he said that!!!!!! I had been waiting for him to feel that way about my hair. Then he thought and said that I should aim to have the same look like the pic I originally sent them (smart ). So I decided on a ponypuff, but a stretched one. Besides, the ponypuff looks more natural for a supermarket run....lol.

I have so much going on this week. Life doesn't stop just because you will be on the Dr Oz show this week........... . It's just an add on. But it's all good. I will be able to breath soon.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK CURLIES AND HOPEFULLY MY NEXT POST WILL BE WITH AN AIR DATE!!!

Hey IB, I haven't been by in a long while. Congrats on homeschooling your boys. That takes a lot of dedication so kudos to you for that. And please keep us posted on the air date for your Dr. Oz show...I've never watched it, but I'll definitely tune in to see you! Have a great day!

OMG IB! That is so awesome!!! I can't wait to see you on Dr. O! I only get to watch that show sometimes but it seems awesome! Can't wait!!!!!

So I'm curious, what kind of prizes do they award for being in the studio audience?
