TerraD, MM, Life and Brazilian Blowouts!

Hi ladies! MM and I are back in the game. How did I ever live without internet? I will try to steal a pic of my wedding day hair, but we will be back with updates tomorrow. Miss you all !

Yay!!!

Hi TerraD!!

You do have a lot going on....I just love nurses I support about 165 of them daily. They are so sweet to me. Not sure if its my winning personality or the fact they know if I'm happy they are happy... No just kidding!!!

Can't wait to see your wedding hair pictures.

Have a great day!!!

TerraD and MM in the house!!!!

MM has been through a lot, these past few weeks. I haven't been taking care of her like I should and I haven't been eating well . Tonight I'm going to oil my scalp and give her a much needed moisturization. I will be doing a bun challenge for the rest of the month, as a way to make it up to MM. My hair is very sensitive to buns and will break off if I put it even the slightest bit tight. So I will do a few large french braids every night and then take them down and style in a bun in the morning. I am only using shea butter to smooth my edges, thanks to a recommendation from ms winner, winner chicken dinner (tia). She suggested it a few weeks ago and I tried it this past weekend and loved it. By simply spritzing my hair with water, emulsifying the shea butter and smoothing it on, my edges lay down. During my bun challenge I will try to jazz it up a bit with cornrows and or flat twists, but moisturizing will be my number one concern!

As far as my health goes, it sucks! I have not been eating well or exercising and have thus lost 3 pounds . The skinny girls in the house know that weight loss is not a part of a skinny girl's agenda. I will be paying more attention to my intake and will start back exercising tonight. I will start with my pilates and will head to my complex's gym a couple times this week! Hopefully, I can get my 3 pounds back in a few weeks, as some nicely firm muscle!

I miss you guys, loads and will work on keeping you guys up to date on MM and my life! I think I need to exchange numbers with a few of you, just to stay in touch, because I <3 you guys . Have a nice night everyone, from MM and myself!

P.S.
Here's a wedding pic of me, if you squint you can see the hair LOL

I think I have gained your 3 pounds. and then 2 more since I've been home...and I'm not a true skinny girl so while I don't mind...it definitely wasn't wanted the week before miami! lol

wish I could see a closeup of your hair! is that a twist into a pinup/bun??? looks pretty cool but then again idk lol

LOL it is a twist into a pinup!

MM is looking good after my moisturization overload last night. I put EVOO, giovannit direct leave-in and shea butter. She is extra juicy this morning. I did a simple side bun and she looks good. Nothing fancy so I won't bother to put up a pic! See you all later!

Have a great day!

Well have a great day.

We need to see more pics of that wedding

Hey Terra,

DITTO THAT!!!

LOL. This is where my not having a camera becomes an issue. I have to wait to steal more from my bestfriend's facebook LOL.

Anyway, MM and I have to go to work. She's feeling good again after a nice moisturization. I realized that my buns turn out better when they are extra moist and even still a little damp. Last night I did 5 huge bantu knots that I sprayed with H2O/leave-in mix and applied organix condish. MM was still damp this morning, but felt and smelt heavenly! I then put her into a fairly loose bun. I'm sure I did not invent this bun, but I call it the conjoined buns (like conjoined twins..., anyway). I split my ponytail into three pieces. Made two small buns on either side and took the middle third piece and two strand twisted it. I then pinned the twist where it split down the middle of the two buns. I will do this style again tomorrow and will try to make it look extra pretty, so I can take a pic of it for you guys. I may even try it with a braid down the middle.
I think that by having my hair straight for a month, I missed my curls so much, that I've become more creative! . I'm actually not complaining about this bun month. I will try to give my hair a break once a week. Right now I take down the bun as soon as I get home and redo it every morning and this works for MM.

Have a great day ladies!

I think I can see the style a little bit. Just do that style again and take pics for us!!

ohhh, I want to see the conjoined buns! I am trying to picture it in my head but I am a visual person so I am sure I got it all wrong.

LOL. I will be redoing the bun in the morning and will try to take pics before heading to work!!!

Uhh what they said. Hey I forgot to ask did you feel the quake? I am so happy you are back. Do I have to stalk your fb friends for wedding pics?

Hi TerraD - just checking up on ya - and looking for pics

LOL. They haven't put up many pics yet To sweet: Yes I felt that quake! I was about to feed a baby, when I started getting dizzy. My preceptor pointed out that the IV bag was swaying. The hospital is on rollers, like most buildings here, so we just swayed with the earthquake!

MM is loving me again! Last night I sprayed with water/leave-in and smoothed on shea butter. I then gently combed into a low bun, that I banded all the way down. Because I banded, my bun is much smaller than yesterday I, therefore will spare you the pic until I tweak it just right!

On a random note, my mom and I have our issues. She's in no way the lovey-dovey type. So as I kid I felt shafted. If my friends fell, there mom's would scoop them up and cuddle them until they felt better. If I fell my mom, would tell me to get up, brush it off and stop running like a "little boy" . Well, long story short. This is what I received from her yesterday in the mail:





And in the inside it has a paragraph about how proud she is and at the end it says: Love you always!

God is good, that's all.
Have a great day ladies!

Awww.....that made me form a tear

LOL! It's totally unlike her, but cool all the same

Awwwwwwww I so understand the relationship or lack of with mommy. That is so special!

So, while re-paying my debt to MM, I have been very vivacious with my styles. I just invented a new style for me called the faux bang! I smooth my hair into a bun while wet, but leave a section of the front out (about the size of a dollar coin). I braid that section and secure everything under a satin scarf and head to bed! In the morning I un-braid the front section, which is now very wavy, and swoop it to the back and add it to the bun, assuring that the volume remains in the bang. It looks like I have a little hump bang. I know, I know, pics... I am still getting over my style shyness so I will put up pics after I've "perfected" them .

Have a great day ladies!

Awww come on no perfecting we wanna see. That sounds sooo cute! TGIF!!

There is no shyness on CN! Not allowed....
