Naturally Me

Well today I took the time and did a wash n go on my hair. It took some time to get it done but I was able to define all my curls. My curls are really tight right now but I want to see what it will look like in a few days. I also tried WonderCurl. So far I like it and it might be just what I needed to make my natural hair journey plausible. 
I have so much shedding that I know I need to work with my hair more. The more I learn the more I want to try and do better so that I can get the healthy length I have before. So much of what I do is also helping me with my daughters hair.
Do I have it set in stone, no but I am on the right track. I should have done a lot of this a long time ago.

Long Weekend

Looking forward to having a long weekend. I ordered some supplies and some patterns to help get me started with making some Christmas ornaments. I can't wait. I feel like a little kid in a candy store. I need to start posting some pictures of what I have been working on and how they turn out.

We shall see what tomorrow brings but for now I am just excited to be able to do something and share with my friends. 

Projects for Christmas

I am ready to start planning some projects for Christmas. It is really isn't my favorite time of the year even though my birthday is two days before. I want to try and at least make it special for the kids. I have been so blah about it the last few years. 

I am looking for patterns to tat. I want to make some ornaments to send off to family and friends. I also have something special I want to do for my mother but I know that it will take some time for what I have in mind for her. 

There is something about doing for others that lightens the spirit. It is funny that I was in a group on Facebook and the post was about saying something positive about someone in the group. I never realized how much I have touched people just by saying that kind word or helping to make them feel special. That is such a wonderful feeling, so this year I want to do something a little extra.

So many ideas running through my head though so what should I do. Hmmmm.....

Starting my journey

I started a few months ago a journey into crafting and getting healthy. I have had my ups and downs but every step has been a learning process. I love to bead, tat, and other crafting things. It helps to ease my mind after a rough work day. I write as well. There is nothing like getting lost in a story or character I am creating.

I am also on a natural hair journey. I had so many problems with my hair falling out that I decided to work with my hair in it's state. My hair is very thick and coarse so that has been a bit of a battle but I learned some important facts a few weeks ago. 

I will post and share my journey. Today is just about my initial undertaking. Stay tuned. More to come.
