Today is the day for a meetup

Bronner Bros' Hair Show is this weekend which warrants the need for a meetup. Lexiwiththecurls and also Adrienne from memyhairandthecity are hosting a meetup tonight here in Atlanta. Creme of Nature is also hosting a TweetUp right before the Bronner Bros' event. I am fortunate to be able to attend both (I won tickets from Adrienne's blog for the Creme of Nature event). I will be attending both events with my baby sister who has been natural all her life. The second event, I will attend with my Zeta mom, Natalie, who has been natural I think at least for a year or two. Stay tuned for pictures and a recap of our night. I will try this mobile blogging out this weekend so we'll see how that goes. You might hear from me more often if it works.

Transitioning into your natural beauty

This year is my year. The pass year was a bummer for me mostly because I spent most of it unemployed. I didn't struggle financially but I did lose out on parts of my life that I am still trying to regain. So this year is the year that I seek out to enjoy myself and further develop myself into the woman that I see in my mind. A woman that is capable of doing anything her heart desires and that won't be stopped by anyone else's doubts. Unfortunately, I am my own worst enemy and I am trying hard to work against the lazy part of me that deters me from tasks I was once excited about. For some reason I can't stick to something for too long leaving tons of unfinished projects scattered along the timeline of my life.

This year, I'm working to put an end to that. I came across this article yesterday about a woman dedicating time for yoga everyday for the next 365 days. No matter what happens that day, she will do yoga. I thought what a wonderful way to force yourself to make time for something you want to do but you probably make an excuse or let it slip your mind or let life interfere. I am in no way ready for a challenge of that magnitude but I would  love to try something like this but not a year, I'll start with 30 days.

I have this dress I want to recreate. I've looked for another one everywhere but haven't found anything close. It's a really simple design and something that could be easily recreated. Today, I'm taking my mom to the fabric store and we are going to search for a pattern and fabric for the dress. For the next 30 days, my task will be to finish this dress. I would love to start creating my own dresses and skirts. I figure it's in my blood - my paternal grandmother was a wonderful seamstress and my mother use to make her own clothes. Let's forget I can't cut a straight line for the life of me.

Transition into your natural beauty is not just about hair. It's about being the person that God created you to be. This will be my first 30 day challenge for myself. Feel free to join me with your own challenge. What do you want to do more? What do you want to add in your daily routine?

Product Junkie, No, Accessories Junkie, Yea

All the hair accessories I've purchased in the last 2 months

I have never liked to buy a whole lot of hair products. I like a simple and easy routine which doesn't require me selecting through 15 conditioners to moisture my hair. However, I have become very obsessed with ACCESSORIES. Headbands, hats, earrings of course - I don't even want to discuss how much money I've spent in the last 3 months of my transition. I have brought an entire new accessory rack of earrings. My headband stock has gone up 110%. I'm running out of room and have decided to dedicate an entire room in my new place to be "my closet". For now I store things where I can and will hopefully be able to find what I need when I need it. 

Are you an accessory junkie like me?
