Wish List

, ,

There are lots of things that attract the eye but you just look at them and move one. Then there are other things that not only attract the eyes, but they awaken something deep inside you. That is when you know that someday you must have that thing and you put it on a wish-list. My amazon wish-list boasts of many items that i cannot afford but so desperately wish to have. Since i love photography, you can expect to find a lot of things that relate to cameras. Also, since i have natural hair you can find lots of curl-tastic hair products that my hair is just begging to befriend. But what is so fascinating about having a wish-list? Well, a wish-list provides the motivation/impetus to get the items on that list. The items on my wish-list are way out of my budget, but, the need to have those items motivates me to book more shoots and get more money to be able to click the coveted "add to cart" option next to the items on my list. One day i'd like to be able to buy everything i need without having a wish list ... but who knows. There is a novelty to having a wish-list and being motivated to get the items you so desperately wish to have. I've put in this post a couple hair products that i've been lusting after.

Big Chop

, ,

Well, It's obvious that i'm weeks late with this post.... but ... i finally big chopped! I did it on Sunday May 4th at approx 10 something in the morning with blue handled tailor scissors. I had a whole lot of hair under there. I really love my TWA which as i have noted before is one big puff of 4C hair. For some reason, people seem to hate 4c hair, but i actually like it and my hair is pretty darn soft. Shrinkage plagues my daily life but it's for the best. I do a lot of flat twists and have come across some pretty great products namely As I am coconut co-wash and Hawaiian Silky. Those are my favorites along with Indian Hemp a grease i use on my scalp. I love my new hair and my new look :) and i hope you like it too. I'm gonna have fun on this journey and i hope i attain the happy healthy hair i want.

Upscale

,

 

I've gotten back in my braids :) I'm on the final stretch of my journey to the hair i was born with. On May 13th i'll be saying good bye to my permed hair and hello to a teeny weeny afro (TWA). I'm ready. I'm pumped. I'm excited. I'm scared. I'm not second guessing this. It's what i want and quite frankly i don't care if i look ugly... 

I've also been doing this fitness thing. I've been trying to acquire a shape for my 17th birthday and also i've been trying to stay fit. Skinny does not equal fit. I do squats, bridges, and crunches on a weekly basis and i'm seeing those results :)

Dress: Upscale ( Redcliffe Quay )

Shoes: Ballet Flats (Size 6B)

Nazirah Antigua

It isn't everyday that you find a style blogger from Antigua on the internet, especially one with such an amazing sense of fashion. I discovered Nichole's blog while I was searching through instagram. I saw the link under her bio and instantly fell in love. Her style is flawless and her taste is nothing short of impeccable. So as usual, when i find a blog that i adore, i do up a little post of my faves. I had a hard time picking and choosing but i mustered up the courage and here are my faves :)

Hello : )

,

  So it's been 2 months of braids and it's finally time to take them out. But before i did, i decided to take a couple of shots with a giant hair bun. My brother and i trudged down the road with my trusty camera in hand and got some pretty decent shots. I think i've grown so much and i'm finally starting to look as if i'm about to be 17. I've been so busy with college and trying to keep on top of everything as of late. It's almost time for me to do my 'big chop' and i'm super duper excited. I can't wait to see the difference.
