~Jamaican Black Castor Oil~ Another Bandwagon???

Well I haven't had much time to see what are the new trends and holy grails within the natural hair community lately but, for some reason I have been hearing a lot about Jamaican Black Castor Oil. Now I have not tried every oil out there but I do intend on testing out a few although I am very happy with my coconut oil!!! Lol. I'm currently am wearing a a protective style (sew-in) so I can't go mad scientist on my hair at the moment but, as for you other lovely naturals out there if you have tried JBCO please let me know your results and why do you think it is more beneficial than regular Castor oil? How would you compare it to other carrier oils? Feel free to leave a comment or two on your thoughts about it and would you consider it as another "bandwagon" for product junkie's (like myself) to invest in?

How it can be used:
~  to strengthen the hair
~ hair growth and retaining moisture
~ eyelash and eyebrow growth
~ massage oil

Another Shea Moisture Haul!!

While shopping at Target with my mom and nephew today,I just so happened to pick up a few of Shea Moisture products from their body care line. Yea I knew exactly what was gonna happen when I went in there although, I didn't actually go to Target for that reason...lol Anyways, I spotted the Coconut & Hibiscus Shea Butter Lotion. Of course, I picked it up saying to myself I would just try it out. Now If I had just picked up the lotion and left I would have been alright but no, I ended up buying the groom and shave soap for my dad ($4.99) and a pack of three of their soaps which included the Lavender & wild Orchid; Yucca and Baobab; and the Red Bush & Sage for only $2.99!! What?????? I have no idea why the pack of three was cheaper then the one but, I COULDN'T RESIST!!!  I definitely cannot wait to try them!! I also managed to snatch up the last package of the African Black Soap kit so yea I think I'm getting a bit addicted......lol!!

Well if any of you have tried their body products let me know how your experience was with them. I will be posting a review about the products I picked up after a few weeks of constant use especially the lotion because it is suppose to be for "Toning" the skin so we will see!!!

Happy New Years!!!

 I am so very thankful unto God for letting me and my family to see another year!! I will surely never forget the loved ones lost and many of whom I may not have known. It is most definitely a blessing to be even sitting here typing this blog...we all have so much to be thankful for whether we know it or not.
I would like to wish everyone a prosperous year and, to keep all of your goals and dreams in mind. Do not let anyone tell you that what you want to accomplish cannot be done. YOU have to know it for yourself. Well my holiday hours at the job will be slowing down soon so there will be more coming from me very soon so be on the lookout!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hello to all, and a very Merry Christmas to you!!!! So I have finally got a day off from work and I must say things have been really crazy and I never knew how crazy people could be during the holidays until, I started my photography job!! Really is it that serious people????  Now I must admit some people are nice while others just seem to think they can do, get what they want when they want it...how rude!!!! lol On to other things, I haven't had the opportunity to try any new products here lately because I am currently wearing my wonderful kinky twists until after the holidays are over! Mainly because I'm to lazy right now to do anything else to it.
*QUICK UPDATE* Also, I forgot to mention (just in case you were wondering) that Shea Moisture's Curling Souffle' does work well by itself on my two-strand twists!! I tried it once before with the smoothie which was fine, but it can stand alone. I must admit that my hair was so soft,defined with a nice shine to it!! I never knew my hair could look that way especially since the natural color of it is a sandy, ashy brown!! Lol.unfortunately I figured this out before I put the twists extensions in so, I forgot to take pics!!

*Oh yea, I didn't get a chance to catch the Miss Jessie's BOGO if any one did let me know how the products are working for you!!*

A lil more art!!

So here is another painting. let me know your thoughts and if you know anyone interested in an custom oil painting! Lol I really need to sell some of this stuff!!

Art for sale !!

Although I love talking about hair, I would like to mention my more creative side. I have a lot of paintings that are sitting around my home and I have no idea (well I do but, it's hard to part with my work lol) what to do it it. So I guess I will actually put some of it out there!! If any of you know someone who has a child that loves Spongebob Square pants please let me know!!! If interested feel free to contact me at sosweeto7b4@yahoo.com for more info!!!

Also, I can do custom oil paintings on canvas!!!

Oil and Acrylic on hollow core door.

Holiday Rush!!

So it is almost that time of year again, you know the time when people are running over you in the stores with buggies and strollers!! Lol  I've recently just started a new job and things have been crazy!! I'm currently doing some photography work so things have been extra busy since this is the time of year when many families are coming together to take family photographs for the holidays. I've really been thinking about (again thinking) doing a braid out on my hair. My only thing is, that it seems that my hair has more tangles when I'm unbraiding my hair. I was wondering how many of you prefer a braid out to a twist out?? What kind of results do you receive from each?? If any of you have any tips on having a defined braid out let a sista know!!!

As soon as I can get to my hair I will be updating you! Lol Until then, I will be rocking my wigs!! Hate it or love it!!!
