Before The Chapter There's Transition

By -
It's so good to know that when life has you busy and kept away from the world of blogging that you're not forgotten and your friends reach out and touch. Thanks guys for checking in on me, it's been rough but in a good way. I've been pressed, squeezed and challenged to grow on so many levels lately that when I look in the mirror I sometimes don't recognize the woman looking back but I'm determined to finding out. Change is good!

A few weeks ago I got to visit Urbanbella for a consultation and purchase some of their wonderful products for natural and transitioning hair. Before I got there I was up in a bunch on what to do with my hair. I started becoming very impatient with wearing headbands. The stylist I had the pleasure of consulting with showed me different ways to style my transitioning hair and recommended the best products for me. Mind you, during a consultation you are only being showed on half of your head different styling techniques not actually given a whole style so after she was done she wet it down for me and put in a leave in conditioner. So I don't have any pics of a style just pics of the inside of the salon, which by the way is beautiful! I will post those soon. The pics below are different styles I've been doing on my girls with the help of some styling aids like, Baby Buttercreme (this is what I use to moisten the kids hair) and Curly Meringue (this is what I've been using on my transition hair). I've been doing two strand twists, twist outs, and braid outs with these products and sometimes I just wet our hair, apply these products and let it air dry. I also bought a couple of other products I'll share with you later.

Gotta run, I have a busy day ahead. I'm going to see The Secret Life of Bees with friends today. I'll share my thoughts on it soon!

    I love the natural look. I haven't heard of those products but will look into it. Their hair looks so healthy.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
