*sighs* Hair Woes

I've been bored with my hair for a while. So I cut more defined layers into my hair last week. Somewhere between  1 1/2 inches in some spots to about 4 inches in others. Now... I like cutting my hair. If I could realistically trim my hair every other week or so I probably would. The feeling you get from freshly trimmed hair is the best.

Anyway, for the past week I've been under the sneaking suspicion that my hair cut was off. And last night my suspicions were conformed. The transition in my longest layers are not smooth and on my top layers one side of my hair looks chopped off while the other side looks a litter more blended. The transition between layers could be a whole lot smoother. Also my hair seems a whole like thicker... I don't know what that's about. Could be the humidity, maybe the layers, but it could be something else, I'm not sure. I just know I don't like this cut I got. My only saving grace is that you can't really tell when I actually curl my hair.

So for the next couple of months I'm going to be doing plenty of updos, curls, ponytails, I might even go a month without straightening my hair (yea.... I might be reaching with that one tho LOL) and doing things to promote hair growth so it can grow out so I can cut it again... and properly this time.

Live.Love. Smile. Enjoy.

Power Puff Girl

I saw this picture as I was wandering around the internet and for some reason I really liked this girls look.

One Saturday morning before church I decided to try to implement this picture. I'm not a big fan of big, or high hair. But like I said before I liked the picture and figured I had enough hair to give it a whirl. This was definitely an out of the box hair experience for me. Would I do it again? I don't know...maybe... but I would have to perfect it some more cuz I didn't like how my poof came out. I like the girl in the pictures "poof" better then my "poof". To me hers has a defined messy look... and mine is a round uber defined puff ball sitting on top my head -_-. (I feel I can take these risks when I attend  a small church.... no one is gonna see me for real anyway *shrugs*.... Well now you are...but I'm back to my #LongHairDontCare self....  so who cares if you see this pics *shrugs*).

Doing this style on freshly washed hair is a challenge. My hair didn't want to act right at all. I think it would work better on hair that is several days old.

Puff Ball Peters

What you see is what you get!! 

  

 At the end of the of the day Irene destroyed my hair. I went to the car to get something (the winds were something else I almost got carried away!!) and by the time I got back inside my hair was thoroughly wind tossed haha. Even thought I confidently wore my puff ball... I was glad to let my hair down and put it into something normal lol!

Dear Mama...

This past weekend my mom celebrated another year of life. I don't know how old she is cuz she barely knows how old she is -___________-.

I'm a lover of birthdays and believe in celebrating in some capacity. This year me and my siblings planned a surprise birthday dinner for my mom. I sent my little minions on the task of finding out what her favorite meal was. And I did my usual planning and cooking. I told my mom I was having a dinner I just didn't tell her it was for her.

 She said she wanted a big frame...

 And thats what I got...

 This cake was actually really good!

 Friends :) 

Cutting her cake 

I believe my mom was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed herself. I only wish her husband could have been around.....

Live. Love. Smile. Enjoy.

Chris Young - Tomorrow

Not too many people know I'm a pretty avid listener of country music. I will literally go from country to hip-hip, R&B or whatever I'm listening to, to country like it's the most normal thing in the world *shrugs*.
Anyway... I don't know why... But I'm loving this song right now! I will roll down my windows, turn up the volume and sing my little heart out with my unsinging self. 



Live. Love. Smile. Enjoy.

Highlights... Lowlights...pt2

Great:
 - Seeing my friends
     - My roommate and girls
     - Making a special trip to DC to see my friend that came into town... lest I be burned at the stake!
     - Going out to dinner with a friend to a vegetarian restaurant (minus when they knocked over a cup of water over the whole table and seat. Bare lotioned skin and wet vinyl seating = the worst) and then getting fresh baked sweet potato pie! I love pie! I blame my dad for that lol!
- Not having to pay for parking in NYC city
- Getting into the Museum of Modern Art for free! ( have I mentioned I don't like museums?... no?... well I don't care for them for real although I will go. So going for free works for me!
- Planning a surprise birthday dinner for my mom.  
- Finding a gift for my moms birthday. Asking that woman for gift ideas is so HARD she never knows what she wants.

Not great:

-Parking in Manhattan is stupid and expensive. And the amount of times one spends driving around looking for a spot is utterly ridiculous!
-The fact I can't be in two places at once. I missed out on a great weekend at home last weekend.
- Standing in the shower in my hotel room 2 1/2 hours way from my office I suddenly remembered I had a staff meeting the next morning... talk about annoyed and blown. That's what happens when dates are changed and you fail to update your calendar.
- Not being able to see one of my friend I haven't seen in years and yet talk to all the time while I was in NY.
- My dad not being around for my mom's surprise birthday party.
- Unspoken. It sounds like I'm taking prayer requests!... Anyway I just don't want to share that what it truly is. *shrugs*

I Hate You

....So... the most dreaded time of my year is here once again... September and October... you took me took hell. I had to fight like hell to find my own way back even still hell tries to grab me sometimes. Especially for specially moments. 

September and October, the love of my little life was taken on your watch and for that all I have to say is  "Fuck you and the memories that surround you."

Sincerely,
The Fatherless


Live. Love. Smile, Enjoy.
