Horseback Riding on Valentine's Day

In the 5th grade, my class went on a trip & we all had a chance to sit on a policeman's horse. I declined because I was way too scared to do something like that. It's always been one of those things I've regretted. So the hubs treated me to a 1 hour adventure trail ride. When he 1st told me about it, I was so excited! Then, Valentine's Day rolled around. That's when I got nervous. Real nervous. What the hell was I about to do again?! After arriving at Cypress Trails, I was no longer nervous: Shoot, I was SCARED.

*********************************************************************************

Checking out my helmet. Didn't expect a huge mirror in the middle of a farm, but I was glad it was there. lol! I didn't like any of the helmets. I just picked out one that could fit over my hair! And that was no easy feat even after putting my hair in a twisted down classy bun.

It took me a month of Sundays just to MOUNT the horse. Notice the woman in front of the horse? That's Meechie! Looking at her twa really made me miss my old one. She was my instructor for the day. We hit it off right away.

Finally, because I was getting nowhere (lol) Meechie showed me by mounting the horse herself.

At last! On the horse! I believe her name was Sen...

Riding off heading towards the trail...

We experienced dips, hills, walking near cliffs (that's what they looked like to me!) & walking across water. That scared feeling hit me at times, but the horse seemed to know what she was doing so that eased me a lot. As we were riding back to the ranch, the hubs said he could hear us yacking about hair. LOL We talked about natural hair the entire time! Products, YouTube videos, bloggers, you name it!  

Had to get a snapshot with Meechie. She did an excellent job leading me on the trail. :D Her & Eboni have convinced me to try SheaMoisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Even though SheaMoisture sponsored 3 giveaways for my HairGurl Summer Affair last year, I have yet to try their products.  I have so much stuff that I'm trying to keep my spending to a limit when it comes to hair products. I hope to try out the Curl Enhancing Smoothie really soon though!

Khloa's new friend. haha

Khlo Face dressed for the occasion. Country girl. :-)

My hair. I twisted the middle down & did a classy bun at the botton. I left a little of the top out. I should add that this is the 1st time I've done this bun since I've been natural. I missed it! Ya'll know I used to do this bun all the time when I was relaxed.

Have you guys ever been horseback riding?? Would you try it?? I definitely wanna go back out there & go for another ride!

Twist Out Fail!

Happy MLK Day!! :D If you follow me on Twitter, you know that this past Friday I decided to set my hair in a twist out on Friday night. I was actually trying to figure out if I should do a braid out or twist out. I settled on a twist out because early on in my journey when my hair was shorter twist outs looked better on my head than braid outs.

The twist out looked like a hot MESS! I didn't bother to take pics of it. I should've taken into a account that when I did the twist out on hair that was relaxed on average every 10-12 weeks. My hair hasn't been relaxed in almost 6 months so it was just standing up all over my head!!! Grrrr.. So I pulled it up into an updo. It was the classy bun...

I forced a smile in these pics, but I was pissed! I won't be trying out the twist out for AWHILLLLLE!

Thanksgiving Hair- A Complete Bust!

A complete bust. I basically wore the same bun I wore about a little while ago....I attempted to where the rollerset but it looked like complete crap! This pic was taken the day after Thanksgiving, but this is basically the hairstyle I wore. I don't have pics of the back.... : \

Lifted Classy Bun

Last night, the hubs and I went out to eat at a gathering at RA Sushi.  I wanted to try rocking a braidout again, but I failed to set my hair last night. So I was forced to come up with a hairstyle 30 minutes before we had to leave. I started getting frustrated because all of sudden I didn't want to  go. #preggiehormones And then I just decided to go with the old tried and true classy bun...except this time I lifted it a little higher than usual. Can you tell?

Sidenote: I'm getting together some videos for you ladies so you will see just how I do some of my hairstyles. I know it's been a long time coming...;-)

Update: Munchkin & Hair

Hey ladies! :-) Oh, I miss you guys so much! Great news- It looks like my feeling sick everyday/all day nausea/don't want anyone near me/most food is disgusting days are over. Hopefully. :-) I've been feeling pretty good & I've even started exercising. I still can't sleep at night so I hope when I go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow she can finally prescribe something for me because this is the pits! I've been so tempted to take my sinus medicine-that stuff will have you sleeping like a baby. I had to think about the Munchkin though. My doctor advised me not to take anything other Tylenol during the development stages. In other words, I've only had about 2 nights of really good sleep. So now that I'm feeling almost back to my normal self- it's back to hair. ;-) I've been neglecting my hair terribly, but I'm back to giving it my full attention. Okay, that's a lie. The Munchkin has my full attention everyday. I'm making sure that I'm washing & deep conditioning every week, but I've been slacking in the moisturizing department. My hair is not retaining moisture that well. It's definitely giving me a run for my money. Aah the newgrowth!

I've run out of... -One of my fave conditioners-Deity :-( -Shampoo.... -Patience...just kidding -Grapeseed Oil -Almost all of the conditioners I've had in my collection Moving along....here are some hair pics I took a couple of weeks ago! The Classy Bun With Curls!

That's all for now. I'm going to wash & dc my hair today. I want to style it really pretty for tommorrow. At my 1st doctor's appt I looked like death warmed over. I'm also going to update my regimen & post it here. Don't forget to make sure you vote, vote, vote today! :-)
