Common things you will see here include self love and respect, nappy hair appreciation, positive body image, the realities of chronic illness, food, past and present afrocentric culture, music, decor and accounts of my adventures. In other words, expect specks of randomness showered in glitter and stuck to the back of your cornea.
I identify as many things, but mainly, a black woman with [dis]abilities. I live in New York. And I have a collapsable [pimp] cane.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
Last month I tried a Curlformers set.
To my surprise, my hair came out very sleek and flat; my hair had more texture and body when I flat ironed it those two times. LOL
Went out last night. Look at my earrings! lol I wore a pink sequin dress and it’s my favorite thing ever. I want to wear it every day this week. lol
I forgot to put on my lipstick until I left the house. I always end up putting my lip stuff on while on the bus or something. I think it’s an excuse to use my blinged out compact.
Fluffy Puffy Face & Fro
I’ve been flaring all week. FIbro + MS symptoms really do react to drastic weather changes. My face and hair have changed shaped every day this week; swelling on the inside, swollen hair on the outside.
I’ve also been forgetting little things (phone, metrocard) and bigger things (a date, train stops) and hardly getting restorative sleep. I’ve tried to suck it up and still make it to work. Thursday was the worst of the queasiness, dizziness, feverish, shallow breathing, and painfully shaky legs symptons. Hopefully I’ll start to feel more ‘normal’ soon.
Latest Set of Twists 9/3
I added amla powder to my deep conditioner, and it seems to have made my hair a touch darker. I’m fine with that, as I didn’t notice my usual grey strands in the front and on the sides. I’m not sure if I experienced any of the extra conditioning that amla is supposed to provide, but it sure took a long time to wash most of it out.
My air dried twists now rest around my armpits when curled. I never thought I could get this much ‘hang’ without using heat on my hair.
I am definitely making a turnaround with growth and retention although I am still on medication that labels hair loss as a possible side effect.

Anonymous asked: How do you take care of your hair? Are you natural? [What happened to my answer?] Hello. Yes, I am a natural, 4a. This is an old post, but I still do the same basic thing with my hair now. Every now and then I’ll add something else and use products from Hairitage Hydration. I hope that’s helpful. :) |
If I had left my hair like this, I wouldn’t be so dang tired right now! lol #twistingproblems

really?!!!!
Absolutely! Let me find the link, because there is a gold version and a rainbow version. They also have a pretty hair chain. I want one with beads, so I may have to make one. (Both sellers ship from China, but arrived in 10 days for me.)
I like this piece of hair jewelry. (No, I didn’t shellac my edges before taking this photo.)
