Summer vacation hair staples, OOTD and fun in the sun

Good morning folks,

Happy Monday to you all. I just wanted to get on since things have settled down a bit. I went to the Curly Nikki Meetup two weeks ago, left Raleigh and went to Atlanta for 2 days, left Atlanta and went to Tallahassee, FL for 3 days, came back home for my fiancee's family reunion and Flew to Cozumel Mexico last Monday through Friday. Man, did I have a ball.

The weather in Mexico was hot, but amazing. I captured some footage and wanted to share it with you guys. I also, got some footage of outfits of the day and showed the products that I used while down in Mexico. I hope you all enjoy the video.

Hey chicas! Curly Nikki Meetup Recap

Hey curlfriends...
It has been a while, I know I have really been slacking off, but with the wedding less than 60 days away, I really have lots going on. I went to Curly Nikki's Farewell meetup in Raleigh yesterday and had a ball interacting with other natural ladies. I met quite a few people, got a chance to exchange information and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a a cute little wine bar that was a little hot inside, but we made it through the evening just fine.

I am sad that I didn't get to meet as many folks that I thought I would, but I am sure that over time I will meet more of my natural friends at different events. Here is the LINK to more pics on my facebook page.

EJ's signature Braided style

Hey guys,

So everyone knows I can't braid and I can barely twist, but my very dear friend from childhood was in town this past weekend and so graciously did my hair for me. She is my braiding hero! LOL, the only person who's constantly braided my hair since I have been natural. Here is a video of my signature braided style. I hope you all enjoy it!

Natural hair Meet up April 30, 2011

I am a week late with posting the updates for this, but boy did we have a great time. There were about 25-30 women in attendance to the Natural Hair Meet up that we had and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We did product swaps, talked about hair products and regimes, had a local vendor and enjoyed some great food. Here is a video below of some of the highlights from the meet up. I hope you enjoy!

Herbal Essence 2/$3.97 at CVS

Hey!!!

This week CVS has a sale going on in their weekly add for Herbal Essence products. Basically, you need a cvs card which is free to get, it's just like a grocery store perks card. You purchase the two products of your choice and it rings up for $5.97 when your receipt prints out, you get a $2 off coupon on your next purchase at the store which basically makes your purchase $3.97 for both. Here is a picture of the receipt they will print out for you to get $2.00 off your next purchase.

Also, I am not sure if they randomly print out coupons for stuff, but the lady ahead of me in line didn't have her cvs card, so I allowed her to use mine. She just bought some minor stuff, like trail mix and a beef jerky or something and the cashier gave her the receipt but handed me the coupon that came out with it and low and behold it was 25% off my next purchase good for 3 days only. When I got to the register she said I could combine my two receipts so I did! I went back and got two full price Organix tea tree mint conditioners, used my $2.00 off coupon and my 25% off coupon for a total of $9.21 spent on organix. Which is regularly priced at $6.99 at cvs. Here is the pic of the second receipt.

I know you all may think, it's not worth it, but I say go for it. I got two bottles of Herbal Essence Hello Hydration and two bottles of Organix Tea Tree Mint and my combined grand total was less than $15. I am satisfied with that purchase. You can use your $2.00 off on anything in the store that is full priced for 30 days! Even if it is something that only cost $3. I hope this helps someone!

Funky Messy Updo

Okay, so I was going for a neat and cute look from an old twist out, but instead ended up with a mess. I decided to twerk this style and make it a funky messy updo. With confidence, we can pull off the mistakes like we meant to do it! LOL

Twist Out Method 101 and welcome to my new followers ツ

Hey guys,

Happy hump day to you all! So tonight, I wanted to do something with my hair. I will probably do a deep treatment on it using Herbal Essence Hello Hydration mixed with honey or using my Shea Moisture deep treatment masque with honey added to it.. Heck why not mix it all up and pile it on, can't hurt right???

After browsing through some of my favorite youtube channels I came across Naptural85's Twist out Method 101 and I am going to attempt to do this on my hair tonight. This will give me an idea of how I will wear my hair on Saturday for our natural hair meet up!I have a couple styles in mind and need to play around with it tonight so that I can have a little something cute for Saturday... Wish me luck guys! Below you will find her video as well as the one that I did on my hair with a twist out...
