Natural Hair Protective Style - Tree Braids

Winter in Cleveland, Ohio can be very brutal to your hair. Especially, if you have natural hair. I have been fighting with shedding and somewhat dryer hair. Usually, my hair retains it's own oils pretty well ever since I completed my transition in 2010 but this winter I have noticed some changes. I also have encountered some breakage. (NOT GOOD) A friend of mine had some tree braids and I was stunned that they were because her hair was so beautiful. I called the lady who did her tree braids and got them as well. I love them! I have received so many compliments on them so I will definitely be getting again in the summer. They are definitely a benefit since I am in boot camp and I don't have to worry about sweating my hair out.

Starbucks Chai Latte

I love Starbucks coffee! The one beverage that I always buy from Starbucks is their Chai Latte's. My favorite is the Chai Latte with a shot of vanilla and soy milk...yum! With the Chai Latte, you should top it off with their Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon breakfast sandwich...a perfect combination! Since it is Lent season, I've decided to give up Starbucks so we shall see how this holds. I must pray for strength as I go through my "withdrawals" LOL!

Cheers to the Freakin Weekend...

I'll drink to that...yeah, yeah! Finally, it is the weekend! This weekend, I promise to get more to blogging. Right now, I am sketchy on designing. I used to be so good at this but I haven't played with HTML codes in a long time and now it is like rocket science to me, lol! Anyway, I did not workout today but I am planning on going hard "in the paint" tomorrow morning. Tonight, I am going to play catch up on my DVR. Until then, peace and blessings loved ones!

Fitness Science

The spring season is near and that means, the coats are coming off. I must admit, I have gained some weight over the winter months and now it is time to get it back together. I have joined Weight Watchers at work as well as a great boot camp called Fitness Science. I love Weight Watchers since it has been successful to me 2 times and the boot camp is new to me. However so far, I like it. I advice for all to incorporate some kind of physical activity in their lives. It really is a stress reliever. I am looking forward to the Zumba classes that will be coming to Fitness Science since I am a HUGE FAN of Zumba! Check them out! http://www.fitnessscienceonline.com/

MIA... :-(

Hello my creative ones...



I know, I have been MIA since my last posting back in January but it was for a good reason. I had my hands tied with my recent Statistics class. Now that my class if over (Thank God!) I can get back to my blogging. I am so happy to be back. Updates will be coming sooner than you think! Smile, and I'll talk to you soon!
