New Hair!!!


So after searching the Internet I stumbled upon Phillydiva and her "Protective Style". I fell in love with this hair. Since I have been working out 6 days a week the sweat is taking a toll on my hair. The hair I have in now is Indie Afro Curl by Dream Weaver. I do have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the way the hair looks and feels. It is sooo amazing how soft and real it feels. The hair was only $35 a pack and I bought 2 packs of hair. I will make an update on how the hair lasts because this seems to good to be true.I want to completly stop putting heat in my hair so often and eventually wear my fro forever (with an occasional weave here and there:) I need my hair to grow so I can have the height that I want in the fro, so this is the perfect style to ease my way there. Here is a video of me explaining things and showing how I blended my hair. Enjoy!!

PYT of the Week;)


Ok so I know I haven't been kind to my readers:( But have no fear the PYT of the Week is here...and man is he fyyiine!! He is currently Essence Magazine's Eye Candy of the week and I just have to agree. He is in the upcoming Tyler Perry movie Why Did I Get Married Too coming out in April. Lamman Rucker's acting career started to soar when he became a soap star in popular soap operas like As the World Turns and All My Children. Here is a clip of him in the highly anticipated sequel. Enjoy!!!

Spring is Here!!!


Waking up was soo hard to do this morning, but once I actually went outside I was relieved by the weather yet again. It feels like spring is supposed to feel. It's warm and there is a cool brezze in the air. And since I am losing all this weight I'm excited for warm weather so I can show off my new shape!! However before Spring comes into full swing, I need to get a few items:
Item #1: Wet and Wavy Weave
I think I might need to get this hairstyle over spring break, because I sweat my hair to pieces every day working out. Phillydiva on youtube has this really cute dreamweaver afrocurl hair in the video below. This is hopefully what my hair can look like.

Item #2: Swim Wear
I am not one of those people who think that a bikini is one size fits all! So when I have gone to the beach or pool in the past, it was a very uncomfortable experince simply because my body was not a beach body. I'm working out 6 times a week and Im not stopping anytime soon, so appropriate swimwear is in order. I'm trying to sort through what exactly I want...but this will take some time.

Item #3: Spring Dresses!!!
Anybody who knows me, knows that I love dresses. I never wear pants! Forever 21 has the cutest spring dresses and I just have to get them. Here are a some skirts and dresses from Forever21.com

Amoy Pitters= My Inspiration!


Amoy Pitters is living the dream for all the driven future entrepreneurs like myself. Amoy Pitters is a celebrity hair stylist that has climbed her way to the top of the ladder with her networking skills, determination, and drive. According to Essence Magazine.com, she got her start at Paris fashion shows and styled the models for Christian Dior in January 1998. She then started styling for John Galliano and Donatella Versace soon followed. The celeb-stylist just recently opened her new salon Amoy Couture Salon, in New York.

I have to say that Amoy Pitters, has quickly become one of my new role models. What I want my career to be is exactly what she has created for herself. Her salon has the same qualities that I would want my own salon to be. A wonderful atmosphere that caters to the client and their specific needs. She also has a new line of clip in weave extensions! One thing that I realized from my first year in college, was if you don't step out and try to do something amazing, nothing amazing will ever happen for you. When everybody else is telling you to take the safe route,you will get safe results. Amoy Pitters has encouraged me to keep the faith, because it can and will happen. With God directing my life, I know I can be anything. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!! Hallelujah!
