Enjoy your ride. You are going to love Charlotte it is so pretty there; however, there isn't a lot to do so can I say boring!!! LOL I have friends that live in Winston so I'm there every other year!!!

Hope you are having a great day!!!

Funny, I think its so much more to do in Charlotte compared to Raleigh. I love going to the Panther's games.

You might be right, but my friends are from Winston so we kinda hang aroung the general area!! They hate driving to Charlotte. A friend flew me to Charlotte for my birthday last year, and all he wanted to do was EAT!!! I was so pist at him!!! I didn't get to see much of the city at all. I did like the airport...it was NICE!!

I'm going back in June (to Charlotte) for a drill team competition, and we have plans go to Carowinds...that will be the highlight of our trip!! (funnel cakes) BlondeByDesire - My Hair has a name - BELLA -means beautiful - Page 38 617583

The rest of our time will be spent at the convention center. I guess I need to visit Charlotte with someone that lives there and knows what to do.

Thanks SAL,

I don't consider it a true WnG really - the simplest things come out the best. I just mixed water, conditioner and EVOO in a spray bottle - wer my head with it, and applied about to quarter size amounts of the Curls Milkshake and massaged that in. I shook a little (I can't do that too much, it gives me the worse headache) and that was it. I get better results like this then trying to do a true WnG with gel and stuff. Weird, huh...

I've never been to Charlotte. Basically we'll be going around looking at apartments in the Southpark area. I plan to visit more this summer when our friend gets settled in.

I want some N. Carolina Bar-be-que for sure though before I leave ... pig

It's doesn't take much to entertain me and my husband, we're really laid back. So, I'm sure we will enjoy it - nonetheless. My son also will check out UNC at Charlotte.

I'm starting to feel the same way! Have a great trip!

Actually, yours sounds like a TRUE wash and go. You almost literally washed and go'ed lol. I wish I could do that. That would probably be no bueno for my hair. Lol. And I love your blonde. It makes me smile everytime I see it.

I hope all is well with everyone.

My hair is still the same, just differnt headband. Waking up in the morning and spritzing with water concoction and applying a little Curls Milkshake has gotten me through this week.

Tonight however, I will co-wash and twist. I'll do smaller twists, hopefully they will get me through the weekend. I'll be using the Koils By Nature Butter and I'm gonna try it will a little of the Koils By Nature Gel for extra hold.

I'm driving down to Charlotte early tomorrow morning with my hubby, son, sis-n-law and a friend. Our friend is going to check some apartments, she will be relocating next month. While me and my hubby are there, we will be checking out the area as well. In a 2012/2013 we hope to move South as well. Have to wait until my youngest graduates in 2012 and is settled in college.

Have a great day.

Hey BBD,
Just saying hi. Have a safe trip. Charlotte is nice. My BFF lives there. I lived in Raleigh right after college and vist for homecoming. Charlotte is a FLYYY city but with a southern vibe.

Hey there. Hope you're having a good day. Just wanted to stop in and share a lil tidbit about the Afroveda Cocolatte. I was pretty much down to my last lil scoop of it. But I wanted to see if I could stretch it. So, I decided to mix in the Qhemet Hydrating Balm. I didn't measure. I'd say I had about one tablespoon of the cocolatte to about 3 tablespoons of the hydrating balm. It still looked very white and creamy though. The consistency is like a pudding. I must say it's a winning combo. Since the Cocolatte isn't moisturizing by itself, mixing it with the Qhemet gave it moisture but it still has the beloved chocolate smell. And since the Qhemet has a very light lemon scent it smells like lemon cake with chocolate icing! Delish! Just wanted to share since you didn't know what to do with the cocolatte. Let me know if you try it and how it works for you.

Have fun in Charlotte. And enjoy the weather.
