AfrikanLatina ☥ It's A...

My god son loves balloons also...I don't know what it is that makes them so amazing.

Happy Birthday Taj! He's so adorable!

@ Tia...I don't either but its cool with me. His balloons cost us less than $3 lol and he's in love!

@JL...Thanks sis.

Oh I forgot to mention that we finally let him ride in his new big boy carseat facing forward!!! Talk about CELEBRATION!! lol He's been at the weight and height requirements but I wanted to keep him rear facing as long as possible and thought today would be a great day to let him finally face forward. He looked like such a big boy and was just cheesing from ear to ear. I'll share pictures later

awww taj is soooooo adorable...babies grow up soo darn quick!

My big boy!

My current favorite style


Twisting my hair this way shows how my hair hasn't quite filled back in but its coming along.


My first time twisting it up & wearing it out the house even though I'm in the house here lol


I'll share my big boys bday video tomorrow.

the lil man is so cute yes the grow up fast. but you got to love every bit of it

what a cutie baby face! He is adorable!!!

Thanks Priceless. I'm watching him play with my water bottle as I type this and he's so into it. You have to love the simple things in life.

Thanks SW! The hairstyle is easy to do and it lasts a few days, which is good for me. After about day 3 I'm ready to wear a twistout.



Operation Wean Baby is still going well. He takes his sippy cup without much of a fight now. I was supposed to wait right before he went to bed tonight to BF but things didn't go according to plan. We'll try again tomorrow. I took my twist out last night and washed with my Tresemme Naturals Conditioner today, spritzed with my horsetail mix, used my version of Kimmaytubes leave in, applied QB OHHB & QB AOHC, and put them in for ponytails because I was too lazy to twist tonight. I'll do it tomorrow. Lata curlies!

I just ready your journal. Thanks for sharing! I liked your up do... very cute!

And your son is adorable!!!

Hey Alatina...

That is such a cute picture with the balloons. He is such a cutie pie!

You did a great job on your flat twists!! WOW I have a hard time with going straight back...I can't imagine making designs!!!

Hey AL!!! i missed u so glad ur thread popped up cuz i no longer go searchin for people anymore...matter fact; u need to just put ur link in ur siggy!!

anyhoo, i was playin catch up; love the QB review and using the amla n olive balm is too heavy for me, i'd rather pair it w/burdock, use em both alone or just the olive moreso on my ends.

ok so whats the TST method for dreads? and when u gettin em again? color on dreads i just love it!!! my gf has dreads (dnt know how she started em) and she colors hers often. she has red n brown tones w/2-3 blonde dreads!

ummm, ok so i didnt realize how skinny u are AFTER baby sooo what are u "weaning" big taj from again? milk??? froooom what? cuz i know dmn well only SIPS comin out of those A cups !! HAPPY BDAY Taj and thank you for FINALLY graduating my baby outta that too small infant car seat. giiiiiiiirl had i seen u squeezin his big butt in that infant seat i wouldve saved him and upgraded him MYSELF!!!

mason's never been a fat baby but he's tall so i upgraded his car seat before he was one n his dad got mad talkin bout "u need to go by the weight requirements n blah, blah, blah" and i said...WELL U RIDE AROUND WIT MASON FEET DMN NEAR HANGIN OUT THE BACK WINDOW N KICKIN OUT THE BACK LICENSE PLATES!!!! i mean u could clearly tell that buckle on the bottom (of the infant seat) was scrunchin my poor baby ballz no matter how u adjusted the belt. i told his dad...look kiss my azz cuz im not jeopardizing my son's future kids cuz u wanna go by chez whitey rules. Well, now mason's only 3 and he's been weighin 30lbs since he turned 2 (dnt judge me cuz my baby gets down on a plate, he's just too hype n works it off fast, lol) and we upgraded to a booster seat now; which is soooo much easier to transport from one car to the next!!

But yes enjoooooy while their small cuz i tell mason he needs to be small again cuz he's too grown. all i can do is look back at pics like where did the time go **gazing into the starz**

Thank you WTRH & KNH!

Now on to Nubie lol The TST method for locs is basically just starting with two strand twists and when its time for maintenance/retwisting you use whatever method you desire...for me it will probably be palm rolling and then after they actually loc I'll do the latch hook method.

Don't go dissin' those of us in the itty bitty titty committee!! There are too many of us and we WILL JUMP YOU!! My A cups produce all he needs...they actually went to a painful C cup when my milk first came in...I'm good with the A's...His daddy likes 'em LMBO! {{insert me sticking my tongue out at you}}

LMAO @ Mason kicking out the back license plate. Taj has chunky cheeks but he's been at 20 lbs for a minute now. He could still be riding in that infant carseat. LOL If his BDAY hadn't come he would still be in it but I figured he was probably tired of looking at the back seat & himself...we had one of those mirrors so I could see him out of my rearview. Since he did meet the requirements I went ahead and let him be a big boy. I want grandbabies in the future so I made sure the family jewels had plenty of room. Steven and I are both slim so I'm guessing he's going to follow suit. Some of his 12 months clothes he just received for his bday fall off his little waist and like Mason he definitely eats...smacking his lips every time he sees us eating.

I think I'll follow your advice and put my journal in my signature! But don't come back over here poppin off on the A cup Club! I will squad up on you...and don't make me say it again Nubie!!

I received some Hairveda Vatika Frosting and OH MY GOODNESS!!! This stuff smells just like cake batter. You would swear it was edible. I couldn't help but use a bit on the twists I had in the other day. I can't really give a review on that but in the coming weeks I will definitely give my two cents on it. So as of now I have to do reviews for:

* Tresemme Naturals Conditioner
* Hairveda Vatika Frosting
* Betonite Clay as a clarifier & facial mask

I just picked up some Vatika oil on Friday and I LOVE the way it smells!!!!

Is it the kind in the green bottle? I like that one too but Hairvedas smells like cake batter!! I can get my fix without actually eating any cupcakes lol. A few sniffs and I'm good.
