I'm Baaack!

Hi everyone! I missed posting last week as I was preparing to head to Atlanta for the World Natural Hair Show. I'm back in Houston and have so much to share. I had so much fun alongside Naturally Happy Hair. I'll be posting on Getting to the Root on Wednesday and hopefully, I'll finish and upload my very first YouTube video by the end of the week. Thank you for your support and know you're more than welcome to share your knowledge. Until next time, stay TWISTED!

Good Evening Everybody!  I am counting down the days until I make the trip to Atlanta next week. I am so excited to attend the World Natural Hair Health and Beauty Show!  I am going with a purpose and that is to gain knowledge from other natural women and learn how to better take care of my
God-given temple. I know it's more than a week away, but I've already started packing. :-) Hopefully, by next Thursday I will have lost a couple more pounds.  I've been working hard and eating well.  I really hope it shows on the scale.

Umm...Flexi-Rods

Good evening everyone!  Today was a beautiful day and I rejoiced and was glad in it!  Spring is upon us and that means warmer weather, shorts, sundresses, sandals and up-dos. I have been playing around with flexi-rods and actually tried sleeping in some last night.  A word of advice: DON'T DO IT!  First of all, sleep and flexi-rods don't belong in the same sentence.  Second, just DON'T.  I twisted the right side and put the rest in rods. Yeah, it came out cute, but at the end of the day my curls were gone and the only remnant of my rod set was my sore scalp.  I'll settle for a twist out for the remainder of the week.  On another note, I will be posting on my "Getting To The Root" page on Wednesdays with the most recent post at the top.  As always, until next time STAY TWISTED!

Good evening everyone! I hope you all had the chance to watch Oprah's Lifeclass tonight.  T.D. Jakes said, "At any age you can still ignite your purpose by finding your passion."  What is your passion and are you lining yourself up to fulfill your purpose?  It wasn't until December of last year when I decided to go completely natural (no chemicals/no heat) that I realized how one small change can trigger change in so many other areas.  I've always believed things happen for a reason, there are no accidents or miracles.  Everything we go through in life is a lesson and it is up to us to whether we learn from it or fall by it.  When you line yourself up with the right purpose and the right people, you will see things begin to fall into place.  I have always been a person of solitude but in December, I stepped outside my box.  I met so many wonderful women who were doing so many positive things. Things I never knew I would be interested in. I was afraid. I questioned my motives. I couldn't give myself permission to be content in the space I was in.  I stepped back, took a deep breath and asked myself, "Why not?"  Why not do something for you? Why not spend time enjoying your life?  I made a decision that day to take part in my own life. It's okay to think about the things you want for yourself and take necessary actions to fulfill them.  The alternative is living a life of mediocrity and never reaching your full potential. I want all that's mine and I won't stop until
I get it! 
 

On another note, I will be posting a new chapter in Getting to the Root on Wednesdays. I am now going to sign off so I can wash and condition my hair. Tonight I'll two strand twist with Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding.  Until next time, stay TWISTED!!!

Up and running...

Good evening everyone!  I'm officially publishing my blog tonight!  Let me first say that everything I write is true and in no way am I trying to evoke pity from anyone.  I hope by reading my "Getting to the Root" posts, someone will be able to work through their own issues.  My journey started with owning my natural hair but it is developing into so much more. I'm slowly peeling back the layers to get to know the woman I was created to be. My goal is to inspire someone to get to know themselves and accept their flaws while owning every ounce of their beauty.

Good Evening Everyone!  I have a giveaway in progress on my Facebook page.  All you have to do is go "like" my page and post a comment stating what you love most about yourself.  The winner will be selected on Friday and will receive their choice of a Miss Jessie's product or a beautiful train case.  Go check it out!!!
