ME, HAIR & STUFF: Build Me a Mr Big Closet I'll Marry you...:
Other Stuff....
Before the Sex And The City series aired I never knew that walk in closets existed. You see in my demure way of life, first it was the big wooden wardrobes that were suffed silly with clothing items until they literally came apart at the seams. Then it was still the same narrow design with the wall closets. So when I saw the Carrie Bradshaw character waltz around her walk in closet in her single girl New York apartment dreamily reaching out for her clothes and shoes that were in clear view, and not digging in some narrow close space, I said EUREKA, that closet makes much more sense! I promised myself there and then that i would get my self that closet when i grew up.

Zoom forward to 2008 0r is it 9? Carrie Bradshaw and her walk in was back on my screen on SATC the movie, this time as a mature 40 year old woman bessotted to Mr Big. She is in the process of buying a new home with Mr Big. I think the most, most, mostest romantic scenes (exept maybe for Love and basket ball) :D, is when Mr Big builds Carrie the heavely walk in closet, white colour, white carpet, glass display and beautiful light fixtures. Now that's a man! He even proposed marriage to her in that closet with a blue Manolo Blahnik shoe (swooooon!!) and I cried like a fool.

The closet worthy proposal!!!

P.S You may wonder if i ever got my self that Carrie Bradshaw closet. Well im in the process of building one with my single girl bugdet. But my Mr Big Eyes has also been forwarned that on marriage nothing else will do but the Mr Big walk in closet :)

Umqhekezo :)

Its been 3 months since my maiden voyage of my natural hair journey. Afro is growing well. There is not much I can do to it except wash, condition, protein treatments and that sort. Its the dreaded winter time when most fros hide under protective styles like braids, weaves and the like. Mine is prevented from doing so by the length. My intention is also not to dye or manipulate it for at leat seven months. I will just let it grow wild. The mission for this dreary winter is to keep my hair moisturised and soft, which I have managed to do so far. Recently before wash, I pre poo with a concoction of Tresseme Naturals conditoner, honey, aloe and olive oil. I wash with a sulphate free shampoo (I will look up the name but i got it from spar) and condition with the Naturals or Pantene. I use Sta so Fro braid spray for moisture and seal with coconut oil or the ORS avocado and shea butter creme. I sometimes use the Soft n Free styling gel for curl definition....

Do Over: New hair journey

Whether we like it or not, hair has been a fixation with most women, black, white, yellow, red. Great hair can form the foundation of a good day filled with confidence, while a bad head can do the exact opposite. From as far as i can remember my hair has formed part of my beauty routine. I've had it short, and long (underwhelmingly so coz the first time i could tie my relaxed hair in a puff has been in recent years), it has been cut into a boxcut, had s- curl done on it to name but a few of the many styles it has gone through. The last time i cut my hair short was 2007 when i was still a student at university, after years of abuse and a receding hairline i had to save my hair. I managed to grow it out in it natural state and had fun with the funky hairsytyles that came with it. One thing that irked me about the hair was that the length remained stagnant. I envied one friend of mine's natural hair which grew effortlessly and was so soft compare to my coarse wiry, shrinky hair....

Hair update!!!

I must admit that im horrific when it comes to this blogging business. I mean its been over a year since my last post...yikes!!!. Any way this is just an update on the status of my fro. Although it seem to be going nowhere slowly {sigh} there is some growth all right. I have learnt a tremendous deal about natural hair care this past year. It has also helped me now that there is a growing network of Botswana Naturals on Facebook, so its easier to get information on products and even get the American products i used to salivate for online. They have even organised hairmeets, the second one having American hair youtube vlogger Tiffanynicholsdesign as the guest speaker. My hair has been a series of contradictions depending on the treatment. It can go from super-soft- easy- to- style- bliss to hard- impossible -stubborn in a space of 2 days...hehehe. I have therefore learnt to embrace its different moods. Needless to say im totally loving my hair journey. twa stage...accesorized...
