So I pressed....Again!

Happy New Year!

2011 is finally here!! If you don't know, it's my birthday month also (January 9th). Oh, I can't wait...yes, I can! I don't want to rush life or the fact I have to go to work tomorrow. I pray that all of you had a wonderful and safe entrance of the New Year and that you will continue to be prosperous and blessed.

Well, to update you on my Natural, she is doing great! I have a nice length and I pray it continues to grow. I know it will. My bangs (after 1 yr on Dec. 5th) touches my mid nose and my nape touches the top of my shoulder. This is after 3-month clipping of ends and shedding. I have not done any protective styles for this winter air but 2-strand twists. I usually rock them for 1 week and then twist-out for 4-7 days. I have extended my shampooing to a week and a half depending on build up. But not more than one a week. My Natural stylist told me that my hair was "over-proteined" (my word...lol) and that I should not deep condition weekly. *sigh* Therefore, my hair is in a healing stage right now. So ladies manage your mane carefully and remember in some instances, less is more. Oh, one more thing about my mane...my flat ironing that few months ago did in fact stretch my curls. My feelings were confused about the outcome. I wanted tight spiral coils again and then I didn't. This stretched way was easier to detangle and I have these "fairy" knots?! I don't know... What I do know? I wanted to straighten again, but I am moving slow towards it until I a get a quality flat iron and ionic blow dryer. Question: My stylist's daughter is Natural and always has been. Even as a teen, shouldn't her hair be outstanding and full? My mane is almost a long as hers and I just started a year ago...just asking... It just makes me take good care of my hair and keep "junk" out of it.

Ok, I have talked enough for now...lol

Before I close, did I tell you that Mister & I closed our April 2011 wedding date? Ok, he put it on our anniversary (Dec. 25, 2011) so it would be easier for him to remember.?? Then I received a new update: If everything continue to line up, it will still be on April 16, 2011. Phew! Can it just be in October? I think I'm putting that in motion...besides I haven't planned a SINGLE thing! I may go dress shopping in February or March. We will see...stay tuned!

Be blessed!
