Let Her Be CURLY!!

I'm in school for Cosmetology and I have stories to tell to say the least. I am enjoying myself and it is trying sometimes but I hope to do good for my part of the Natural community..LOL, Hope to make you girls proud!

So I have a pretty steady stream of natural clients that I service. Most heard of me through word of mouth and some have stumbled upon me on accident. I have a little girl that comes to see me about every two weeks. She is about 10 years old and her mom brings her in to get her hair straightened. She has a head full of hair that is even more beautiful Wet and wavy!

So she's sitting in my chair and we are conversating about kid stuff. You know music, favorite colors and.... Hair. So I ask her, "Do you like your curly hair?" She says, "Yep!" I say, "Well how come you won't wear your hair curly?" She said kind of sadly, "My mom won't let me..."

My heart sunk.

How could mom deprive her of her curls. Mind you... mom has been really informal to me, despite that apparently she loves how I do her hair because she reschedules with me before she leaves. When I met mom she is rocking a short relaxed do. No shade to the relaxer honey... if that's your cup of tea.. than so be it! But I felt so bad for the young girl that was not allowed to rock her curls.

I then asked the little girl, "What do you think pretty hair is?"
She answers,"Long and curly."

Awwwww man! How beautiful is that. And my thoughts were, I thought it would be so much easier to rock the curly hair than getting it straightned every two weeks. Every time she comes to me her hair is all over her head and she is just looking a mess. I guess mom is not really into doing anyone's head.

So what should I do? I want to approach the mom and fill her with a little bit more of info about rocking the curly hair. She just seems a little unapproachable, you know what I mean....

I say... Let her be Curly.....

What would you do??

Me, Myself & I

I am a loner.

For the most part...

I am a friendly girl. Always have been. I keep a sunny disposition about myself and I don't mind being alone. It's always been apart of who I am, I can't help that I enjoy my solitude and I don't NEED others to go on with life on a daily basis ... whatever it may be.

I have decided to take a chance and audition for Sunday's Best. The auditions are Saturday and I'm Kind of nervous. I don't tell people a lot of my bidness. Lot of folks don't even know that I got a set of chops on me but I don't think it's something that I'd like to advertise. I've always been like that... I have let some in my inner circle know about this venture and already it just seems like... I dunno... too much.

Folks getting upset because they want to be the one going to the auditions with you, Some have already claimed to be on my management team and I haven't even auditioned yet! I've never been one to look for fortune and fame and I've decided to go to the audition because I feel led to do so. And already I'm getting grief!

So I ask all my wonderful friends who only know me from the words on my pages and the pictures in my journal just to keep me lifted up in your prayers this Saturday. I want to do the right thing and I don't want to move when I'm not supposed to move. Your spiritual journey is serious, and you want to be where you are supposed to be.

So with all that being said.... I want to say to every one I hope u all enjoyed your inaugeration day! :-) and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week.

Talk to you soon!

How I Rock My Blowout!

I know I haven't been around. Just ignore me... LOL... This really is my place of solitude and I'm going to get back to my real love which is writing soon. But right now God has other things in store for me...I hope everyone is doing well!


Love,

Beauti

Merry Christmas!

I know I've been away, but I've been working this season. It certainly hasn't been easy and I have been drained physically. I've been trying to keep up with exercising and eating right and this has not been an easy task.

Still God is faithful and I'm making it.

I recently discovered that I have an interest in someone. I would only grade it as a Crush right now because I only know him on the surface. But he has a smile that would light up any room and just seems to have a great personality. A smooth creamy chocolate and just all around handsome. I'll call him my Chocolate Mcdreamy.....

I've been chatting with him when I run into him and it doesn't hurt that he goes to my church. But I'll keep you updated on a possible connection. I'm working on it! LOL...

I hope everyone has a Fabulous Christmas! Be Blessed and Not Stressed!

Take Care of You!
