First blog post/Sisterlocks

in Natural hair, Sisterlocks on 03/27/10

Sharing is caring!

I’m SUPER excited about having this blog!!  Crazy huh?  It doesn’t take much to make me happy.  Imagine how happy that makes my husband.  LOL I decided to go natural November 2009.  My last relaxer was October 2009.  I’ve been transitioning for about 5 months now.  My hairstyles during transitioning have been bantu knot outs, twistouts and using the flat-iron.  I’m not a fan of fake hair so braids, sew ins, wigs, etc. NONE of those are options for me.  I think women look good with what God gave them naturally!  To each, her own.  While I’ve been transitioning I’ve discovered sisterlocks.  Sisterlocks are NOT dreadlocks.  Sisterlocks are micro locks.  No hair extensions!  They’re very versatile.  Any style you do with relaxed hair you can do with sisterlocks.  The reason I love sisterlocks so much is b/c you don’t have to do the BC (Big Chop) to get them installed.  You can start sisterlocks with 1 1/2 inches of new growth.   As your natural hair grows, your relaxed ends are trimmed off in time.  Also as your hair grows you go in for a re-tighten about every 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows.  You want your hair to look neat and fresh unlike some people’s dreadlocks.  UGH!!  So I have decided to get sisterlocks as you’ve probably already figured out.  I’ll be going to God Given Beauty Natural Hair Salon in Gastonia, NC. (www.godgivenbeauty.com)  On March 30, 2010, I’ll be getting my test locks and then on April 5th and 6th I’ll have my locking session.  I’m sisterlock bound!  LOL  I’m so excited!!!  Goodbye to bad hair days!  Goodbye to going to bed with rollers all over my head!  Goodbye to being afraid to get my hair wet AND goodbye to having to spend HOURS on my hair after washing it!!  GOODBYE!

Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to t Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to the views here in Colorado. It’s beautiful here!

I didn’t get pics of everything b/c I was enjoying the moment. We hiked at Chatfield State Park (beautiful Fall colors) and Rocky Mountain National Park to see Lake Haiyaha (Gorgeous lake. Saw some BIG wildlife on the drive.) We did a bike ride through Waterton Canyon (12 miles total). We played disc golf. We relaxed at home. We enjoyed Fall Break!

Time to get back to our routine. Back to school.

We’ll have more adventures this weekend I’m sure! The benefits of living in Colorful Colorado. Always something fun to do!

Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙 I was surprised b Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙

I was surprised by how my afternoon went. My husband surprised me & the kids with surprises that I would have done. I’m the one big on surprises. My husband, not so much. 

From surprise balloons & gifts in the vehicle when we were leaving school to balloons throughout the apartment and flowers along with a sweet card for the each of us. 💞

The kids were SOOOO excited & it made me smile. 🥰

🎶What a mighty good man!🎶

Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️ Vegan chicken fr Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️

Vegan chicken fried rice.

Stay at home mom now elementary technology teacher. Yep, I’m a working girl. lol My first time back to work since my kids have been born. 9 years.

Going back to work has been an adjustment. We’ve found our new routine! I find that doing things at night or early in the morning is helping me stay sane. I want the house & all the things I did as a sahm to keep getting done. Not realistic. I lived & learned.

I get things done but some days after school, getting the kid’s homework done, cooking dinner, getting the kids to bed, I GO TO BED! I gotta take care of me so I can take care of them.

What are some of your tricks/habits that you do to keep your household running smoothly & your sanity? 😊
