DEVACUT "Sneak Peak"

If you follow me on TWITTER, I mentioned that I had gotten a DevaCut in NYC's Soho DevaChan salon on Saturday. I've gotten my ends trimmed and a more rounder shape, but in all honesty you can even tell , which is good for me because I want to retain LENGTH!! Now, I will post a full video on YouTube but I don't know when cause I'm SO TIRED, but I wanted to show you my curl definition......MY CURLS HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS DEFINED!!!

All of my curls match!

Ignore my expression!!

Only the back was stretched.....

New (old) New York Post

OK, so I thought I posted this last week, but it was saved in my "Blogger Draft" folder so, even though I'm HOME (in LA) safe and sound, here's some pics earlier this week! PS- My NYC trip was to be from 01/19th to the 01/26th, but my flight was rescheduled (due to the snow) so I got to stay until the 01/30th!!

Hey Yall!! I know I've been neglecting my blog, but since I've been in NYC, I've had to FIGHT to use the internet! Wow, where do I even start......I may do a more in depth NYC post, but in the meantime, here's some random NYC pics!!

POSE :)

Sick...but this made me feel better!

I've been surrounded by sick people for 3 weeks, and I've been slowly getting sick, but today was the day I FELT it. HARD :(
I've been in San Diego, spent my rent money on beads-n-stones-n-stuff at my local bead wherehouse(SARCASM) but I just couldn't get motivated to make new hoops, until I saw this.....and this totally made my day!! I get such a good, warm, and positive vibe from her, SUBSCRIBE to her YT page and check out her shop as well!!

Chunky Braid-Out FAIL....

The title says it all. I attempted a chunky 4 Braid-Out on dry hair. I wore my hair in 4 braids, then put the 4 braids into 4 buns, AKA "Bantu-Knots" for the entire day. I put on my silk bonnet, and went to sleep. When I woke up, the "buns" were no longer, so I knew I wasn't gonna get that "spiral" look, but I still wanted to see what it looked like......needless to say it was a MAJOR FAIL, and I ended up wetting my hair.

:(

FAIL

EWW, Look at the middle!!

"MAD DOG" look! I was not a happy camper!!

Newly Natural Kim Coles AKA Kim "Coils".......

I was browsing around on twitter, when I found this AWESOMENESS!! :

"I have a new look for the new year folks…
Let me introduce you to Kim COILS!
I just cut all the braids out of my head and I feel free, breezy and I admit a tad bit scared, but I took the leap anyway. I have been wanting to for a while. But I ’aint gonna lie, I bought a wig just in case!"

Another "STAR" natural....can't wait to her journey!!

Thank you so very much!

Ask me anything

Who is your hair twin?

SO far, I've seen 2 Youtubers that have very similar hair to mine! The closest match would be CrazyCurlyfulLeah (http://www.youtube.com/user/CurlyCrazyfulLeah), and Tashiramone (http://www.youtube.com/user/tashiramone). Tashiramone hair is PERFECT in my eyes because her curls have what my curls lack : THICKNESS!!

Coming To America is....

My ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!! If you follow me on TWITTER, I've been posting random quotes for the past 2 days!!! Ive had my busted VHS copy for a decade, but this past Christmas my mommy got me the DVD special edition, and Ive been obsessively watching it ever since. Yesterday, bored as usual, I decided to "Google" "Coming To America", and found some random pictures, I'd thought I'd share........

King Jaffe–Joffer of Zamunda costume

““He's got his own money and, baby, when I tell you he's got his own money, I mean the boy has his OWN MONEY!”

I wanted to be one of these dancers when I was little!

I wanted that hair ( HEY, I was a kid, I didn't know!)

Eighty-five zero seven Queens Blvd is actually......

I already cheated.....

DANG YALL!!! Only January 3rd, and I cheated. Some friends came over and we went to this all-night 24 hour diner called D*-Pa*s, where they are known for their pancakes and french toast. So the inevitable happened......

NOT MY PLATE!! Some photo I found on the 'net...

Yup, I ordered French Toast with a side of bacon. Of course I ate ALL the bacon, but I didn't eat all of the french toast. "YAY" for me, but I feel like a failure. I'm just getting back from the gym because of my guilt, but still......

2011.......So far so good!

My 01/02/2011 LIBRA horoscope! EXCITING! Time to pop in my DVD copy of "The Secret!"

"You can feel that something exciting is right around the next corner. You are ready for some sort of catalyst to shake your life loose, but may not know what it is yet. Needless to say, this makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prepare for what's coming up. Your best strategy is to keep reminding yourself to stay in the present moment so that you don't miss opportunity knocking at your door."

SO it begins.....

my dinner.......

DIET! I know right, SUCH A CLICHE! I actually WANT to eat better, and SO IT BEGINS!!

This is my motivation. Who's yours?

PS- these skinny jeans are THE BEST for curvy gals! They LOOK like jeans, but they aren't at all. These were before companies starting using the ever-annoying-term "jeggings"! I have these in medium blue (like these), dark blue, gray, and two different styles of black! They are by Guess and are called the "Brittney". I SWEAR BY THEM!
