Protective Phony Pony &amp; "Natural" Makeup




I mentioned in my January Length Update that I was going to wear "phony ponys" (Fake ponytails) as my protective style for the winter. Well, I got one and decided to record a video tut of me applying it. And of course, I had to throw in a makeup tut to go along with it. Hope you enjoy!

Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in Co-Bolt Blue by Sally Hansen 


 



  I've got the birthday blues...










 



I love this dark blue shade by Sally Hansen! This is the first fast dry nail color I've used that dries with a sheen. Most of the fast dry polishes I've used (mainly those by Avon) dry dull.

Transitioning Tale: Lilianshekinah's Story 




Today's transitioning tale is that of a beautiful young diva named Lilianshekinah. Having been relaxed for only a short period of time, Lilianshekinah began her transition in childhood, and has been natural ever since. You can learn more about her hair care journey, as well as her random adventures in life, on her blog.

The latest installment of my Q&amp;A series answers questions pertaining to deep conditioning treatments and the damaging effects of hair dye. Since some of my subscribers have asked that I do a video tutorial on my pre-poo olive oil treatment, I thought this would be the perfect time for a demonstration. Enjoy!

We tend to want more in order to have a sense of security, but God will always provide for our needs. Even when it may not feel like it, we always get enough.

"And
 when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not 
have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. 
Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed." -– Exodus 16:18

Although the Pre-conditioning Light gel by Isoplus does a great job of slicking my edges down when my hair is curly, it causes my edges to wave up and basically revert when I apply it to flat ironed tresses.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and although you'll see a lot of companies toting pink ribbons on their products, not all of them are truly dedicated to the cause. There are however a few beauty companies in particular that will be donating 20 percent or more of their profits to charities that support the fight against breast cancer.

If you recall, I shared the disastrous details of my initial attempt at using waist length clip-in hair extensions in My 18" Extensions...#FAIL! post. Anywho, I said I'd share the results of my second attempt, and I'm happy to say that the revisions I made did the trick!

Earlier this year I shared the details of my skin care regimen. However, the one thing I forgot to mention in that post is exfoliation. Exfoliation is key to achieving and maintaining a clear complexion, particularly in the fall and winter months.

Mindless Behavior &amp; The Real Housewives of Atlanta




So, I was scouring YouTube the other day and came across this new (or at least they're new to me) boy band called Mindless Behavior. They appear to be very reminiscent of a lot of the boy bands of the past. Can we say ABC meets Dru Hill meets B2K?



Anywho, the thing that caught my eye about these boys is their hair!

My 18" Extensions...#FAIL! 





























 



I recently shared the 18" Spanish Wavy hair I purchased as part of my latest beauty supply store haul. If you recall, I also shared in that post how I had already made clip-on extensions with the hair, but they turned out to be a FAIL. Well, today I'm going to share the reasons why things didn't go so well:

From infancy up, our hair can go through many changes. It's said that our hair actually changes, on average, every seven years. Just as our body ages and can go through different phases due to hormonal changes, so does our hair.

Str8 Hair Maintenance Update



I've been getting a lot of questions lately from subbies who want to know how I maintain my hair while it's straight. As time goes on, I definitely learn more and more about what works best for my hair, and strongly believe that everyone should experiment to see what works best for them, as convention does not provide a one-size fits all regimen.

ANTM Makeover Sabotage?




If any of you have had a chance to catch an episode of the latest season of America's Next Top Model, then you know that this cycle is all about the All-Stars. Tyra and her crew have brought back the most memorable competitors from previous seasons to compete for the title of America's Next Top Model. Among them is one of my hair inspirations, Bre Scullark.

So, as I'm sure many of you have noticed, I didn't blog much this month. It wasn't because I didn't want to, or that I forgot about you guys (*smile*). My lack of posting was actually due to the fact that I've been working on some things that will hopefully make this blog better. So, if you visit the site and things seem a bit wonky, just be patient.

We must submit to the holy spirit to live in accordance with God's law.
 
"The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind 
controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile 
to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those 
controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." --Romans 8:6-8 (NIV)
