Father's Day Memoir


I remember walking home with my Dad in the middle of the winter...
My sister on the left hand as I held tightly onto the right.
My gloveless hands slid along the porch of an apartment and I grabbed the biggest pile of snow my hand could hold. Even with my fingers frozen, the idea of letting go of such beautiful snow helped to fight the feeling and discomfort. After learning that the snow had disappeared, I cried until I understood that the snow had only changed its state and would sometime soon reappear just as I had left it.

The toughest feeling in coming to terms with my Dads passing is whether or not to hold on to the beauty of his memory even if its painful or to let go and hope to have the place fulfilled in time.

I've been lucky to share a few wonderful Fathers in the past few years...
Great Figures who've shown lots of love to their own children,
and had a little love to spare!

New Hair! New Year!

For the past 4 years I've worn the SAME EXACT hair style!
As I breezed through my Facebook pictures and bored myself from the lackluster side swept bangs, I realized it was time for a true change.
My hair has been natural for quite some time meaning:
-NO relaxer
-NO texturizer
-NO perms
With that, I decided to join the kinky-curly crew and embrace my naturally beautiful hair.








 For the past week, I've been trying the Bantu Knots and manipulating my natural curl patterns to see where it takes me. The entire has been quite interesting but I thank GOD everyday that my Mum is a hairstylist... Lord KNOWS the outcomes may have been truly TRAGIC, lol



Wish me luck as I figure out how this works.
I need products to try out...
ALL recommendations will be greatly appreciated :)

enjoy your weekend!!
