Another Chance!

I know the last time you saw a post, I said that I would blog once a month...that didn't happen.  A number of things have transpired since I posted that. To only skim the surface...the end of the school year happened, I had to get ready for summer school, then back at it for the regular school year in September.  If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a teacher. Anyone who knows anything about teaching, knows that the beginning and end of a school year is busy busy busy.  These are not excuses or complaints but merely facts of "my" life.  I love my job and wouldn't trade it!  I'm not perfect and don't know everything but I do know I love it!

So, where does that leave blogging you ask?  Well, I kind of lost my zeal for blogging after a few post.  :-( Sad but true! I put it down.  Thank you God for another chance!  I think I may have found my zeal again!

 It's a new school year and I feel that I am starting feel my zeal come back.  I find myself thinking about topics that I want to cover, things I want to say, and pictures I want to upload. Will it be perfect? No. Will I make mistakes? Yes Will this be a journey? Yes.  Hopefully you will get to share in some of these experiences with me. :-) 

Have you ever lost your zeal for something or someone you thought you loved and were excited about?(I know I'm not alone).


Be Blessed!(I plan to blog again in the near future)

Naturally Beautiful

I think every natural goes through a period of time where they get tired of the process of being natural. Let's face it!  If you are on a "Healthy Hair Journey", it takes work to keep it maintained. Don't get me wrong, it's worth it and I wouldn't change it for a perm. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that it takes work.

Sometimes, we just need to take a break from reality to evaluate, rejuvenate ourselves and  reflect on where we are and where we could possibly be.  Really, that can be related to life period.  From experiences, I know life can be a journey in itself.  But I digress...

Back to my point...We've all been in a place where we need some type of hair encouragement/Inspiration.   Here are a few beautiful pictures of natural women to INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE you on your journey!  I hope you enjoy!  I sure did!

Welcome!!

Welcome to my first blog post! YAY!  This blog will be dedicated to natural hair, life and anything I feel is beautiful.  My profession is not natural hair, life, or beauty. I just know what works for me, what I like and what I think.  Who knows...I may end up helping someone. :-) I am new to the blog world and I plan to slowly walk into it. We will see where this journey takes me. :-)  I hope you enjoy all I have to offer!

A tad bit about my natural journey...

When was your last perm/relaxer?

     I had my last perm November 2008.

How long did you transition?

     I transitioned and slowly trimmed for 7 months. I transitioned with micro braids (which I loved) and flat ironing.

How long have you been natural?

     I have been fully natural since August 2009. However, I have only been on a healthy hair natural journey since July 2010. This is about the time that I decided to research natural hair and stop getting my hair flat ironed and braided so much. I also discovered natural hair videos on Youtube while googling natural hair care. :-) Needless to say...it changed my life and my hair forever!

Style I wear?

     When my hair was shorter all I really did was twist outs, Bantu knot outs, and loads of puffs. As my hair has grown a little, I wear more protective styles, Low manipulation styles, and twist outs.

Do you use heat?

     Yes. :-) I'm not against heat. I blow my hair out on wash day. Keeping my hair stretched out lowers the number of single strand knots I have. In 2010 and 2011, I flat ironed twice, and plan to only flat iron once or twice in 2012.

Be blessed!
