DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!!!!!

Hello World!!!!!!!

Ok.....a few updates.

1) I got a new laptop

2) When I moved I opted not to get Internet because I realized that I was just not being productive when I was glued to a computer screen. I have to admit that it's been very hard to go cold turkey. But to keep my sanity, once or twice a week I go to Starbucks, sip an Iced Chi and catch up with the rest of the world. It's my guilty pleasure time :)
3) YES!!! I am still bunned up!! I have made a few changes though. I work in a psych ward, so I've decided to fore go hair sticks in the workplace as it could be potentially dangerous. Although I work with elderly patients, they are surprisingly fast and strong. So now roughly 3 days out of the week I do wear a large soft scrunchi to work.

Also for the summer time I've decided to wear my hair in box braids......which shall be bunned!! I really like this style! It's simple, less hassle, and much cooler when the temps start climbing!
4) I missed this blog and I'm glad to be back! I will be coming back and posting some updated pics.



THANK YOU FOR READING!!!!

2011.....Happy New Year!!!

Hello Everyone!

The month of December has a been a very crazy time for me. If anybody remebers my post with pictures of my hair accessory collection.....yeah...about 80% of that is gone. Nearly all of my hairsticks, flexi-8s and all of my flowers were lost due to an unfortunate accident >:(

**nothing but hair sticks were harmed during this accident**

But no worries, I've already started to amass a new collection. Not that's it's gonna be easy because I loved each and every one of my hairsticks....no seriously.

Anyway. I'll be back to posting pics of my daily dressed up buns and I'm even working on some videos. So thanks for following and stay tuned!!

Let's Try This Again

Alrighty then. Because of my computers suicide, and my lack of camera, I'm starting my experiment over. This will now carry from December 1, 2010 through December 1, 2011. Not that I mind, because I have fallen in love with my adorned buns :)

I've got new pics though from the past few days.

Saturday 12/4: I didn't go anywhere. I had to wait on Art Van to send out a leather repair man since some movers scuffed up my leather couch >:( I cowashed, detangled, and moisturized earlier in the day, so this bun was fairly wet. The hairsticks are from a seller on ebay. Her stuff is super cute, and really inexpensive! I love her sticks and snatch them up whenever they are listed!

Sunday 12/5: I spent the day having "girl time" with my little princess, so my hair actually never came out of the pig tails that I sleep in.
Monday 12/6: I worked a double shift and totatlly meant to take a picture, but I was so tired lol! And the cold air really dried my hair out (I haven't finished making my winter hat) and it looked really bad lol!
Tuesday 12/7: I had to work today, but I remembered to snap a pic before I left the house! This is a Tahitian Jadewood Ketylo.

Back In Business!!!


Ok. So I am back! I'm so excited because my computer is better than ever, and I've got tons of new hair toys to play with :D I don't have many pics of my new buns yet because I have a new hard drive. I've decided to mesmerize everyone with my dazzling hair accessory collection instead. LOL, it's actually pretty miniscule...but growing everyday! **insert evil laugh & hand wringing here**

Starting Fresh

So the past few weeks have been pretty crazy for me. I moved......far away! LOL. But it took a lot longer than I expected. Then in the midst of the moving fun, my laptop decided that it no longer wanted to be of this world :( But my BFF's brother (who will be heretofore referred to as "the computer whisperer" took it, worked his "computer whisperer" magic and now it's better than before!

I'm so excited because what turned out to be a $70 fix was plaguing my computer for MONTHS!!!!! The first thing I'm gonna do when I get it back, hopefully tomorrow, is make a video using my web cam that I never got to use!

So the moral of the story is....never download a debilitating virus onto your computer and then do nothing about it lol! Until then....HHG!!

Week 3 of 52



Monday 10/25: After recovering from illness over the weekend, it was back to work on Monday :( I had to detangle my MATTED hair from the weekend. It was a tough task, but I labored through it. I used a really neat fork that I purchased from ebay to hold my bun up.




Tuesday 10/26: I'm in the process of moving so, and had an appointment to view a house (that I was running late for) so I threw my hair up with a KETYLO stick in Tahitian Jadewood.

I can't wait for my hair to get longer. I'm really tired of my curly ends hanging out of every bun :(
I have to download the rest of my pics from my sister's camera, so I'll be back with the rest of week 3 later!

Week 2 of 52

So obviously, I'm a horrible blogger lol. But in my defense I've been very busy with moving and work. So onto the the past few weeks.

Monday 10/18: I was going on 3 days of unwashed hair (which is a long time for me). But I managed to come up with a cute and simple style in time for work. I threw my hair up in a modified figure 8 bun since my hair isn't long enough to make a full figure 8. I secured it with a flexi 8. I love these!
Tuesday 10/19: I was in serious need of a good co-washing on this day! And I was running late, so I threw my hair up with a cheap 2sided hair comb from a local beauty supply store.


Wednesday 10/20: I had Wednesday off, so I gave my hair a good pampering! I co washed with Vo5 Champagne Kiss Conditioner. I don't know what it is about this stuff, but it literally melts my tangles away and it smells so good! Then I DC'd with a combination of Suave Humectant, honey, Giovanni Smooth as Silk, and EVCO. I did a home grown steam treatment using hot towels and a heating cap. I didn't take any pictures of my pre-washed hair :/ But I got some good shots of the final product of my hard work:



Thursday 10/21: Back to work! I took my freshly steamed hair and put it up using a smaller flexi 8.


Friday 10/22: I did my usual chignon again on Friday, but I switched things up and used a jeweled pelican clip to hold it up. I really liked the way it swooped out kind of far on one side :)
Saturday 10/23 & Sunday 10/24: I was SICK all weekend. I went to Big Boys Friday night and thoroughly regretted it for the rest of the weekend :( But, I managed to still keep my hair up lol! It was a horrible tangled mess to deal with on Sunday night, but I still kept my bun in :D
