With my demanding job and my wedding planning, I have had not a lot of time for me! My hair is growing so fast, I can`t keep up with it! I`am constantly re tightening. It seems like I`am constantly trying to cover my grays. Now that the holidays are over, I`am trying to give it a break from the coloring until April when I turn 50! WOO! WOO!
Mrs Menopause is trying to take over! I have notice that I`am gaining weight around the middle and thighs. I have been between a size 10 and 12 for years! When I fit into a size 12 pants, it`s time to work out! As I stated in my blog, I`am recovering from bilateral knee injuries. I had not worked out other than PT since May. Sunday, I went to the family room to work out! I bought the Pussy cat Dolls workout. It was fun, but it was an equivalent to a warm up. I needed a step work out! Thank God for Kathy Smith step Workout! My old Flo-Jo workout still does the trick too!
It been HELL in New York! It seems like every 2-3 days, we have snow! The cold weather and the dry heat in my house has been drying out my locs! I really do not like covering my locs other than when I `am at work. If I`am going to keep them healthy, I better take some intervention. I have increased my intake of water and I keep them under a satin cap when I`am home. I have been shampooing and conditioning my hair every two weeks instead of three weeks. Between shampoos I spritz with an leave-in conditioner and water!
I love how curling my locs look, but it takes too much time to roll. Anyway, since my locs grew, the curl does not last long. After I wash my locs, I braid them. I then get underneath a cool dryer for 20 min or until they are a little more dry than damp. In the morning, I take them out. The braid out last until I shampoo my hair again! The braid out gives my locs more body!
Having 300 locs can be a pain. The reason I got SLs is to have versatility. To tell you the truth! I have done nothing with them now that I have some length. I have to experiment with up dos for my wedding. I guess that will be my next post!
Thank you all that have subscribed to me on Youtube and blogspot! May God bless you all!

Looking good! Menopause Girl, I'm going through the samething. I'm having hot flashes like no bodies business. Not getting much sleep I get hot then cold and listening to hubby snoring isn't helping. Lol!
