Twist Out 'Froed Out

 My hair at the Houston Children's Festival this past weekend. Initially, I did a speedy twist out that I conjured up at the last minute. These are the results after a few hours in the Houston sun....

 Prop I found for Khloa's 1st birthday cake smash. ;-)

They haven't invented an anti-humidity cream/gel/spray/ that will hold the 'fro down. LOL

I LOVE WHEN MY HAIR SWELLS LIKE THIS! :D And it was so soft!

P.S. I don't know what that is in my hair... : \

'Fro Fashion Week: Pt. 3 Massage, Thrifting, & Fashion Show!

Here it is a month later & I'm still talking about 'Fro Fashion Week. lol! Okay, well let's get into it. This will be final part of my recap.

Sunday started off w/ me trying to find a store to get some batteries for my old camera. Eboni spotted me looking crazy outside of the hotel & was kind enough to take me to get some...I thought we would never find a store. I had no idea there were very few stores in downtown Atlanta. Mind you, I'm talking about a Walgreens, CVS, etc. Even a corner store would've been great. Finally, we found a CVS & I got my batteries! Thanks again Eboni! lol :-)

 Now my day could really start! So I started off w/ a massage in the Shea Moisture suite.

My masseuse! I was so sleepy at the end of the massage. I wanted to go back up to my room & take a nap. She did an incredible job!

Kynx products.

lol....

I saw AfroBallerina again on Sunday! (why do i look thicker than usual in this photo?)

I attended a "How To Thrift" type workshop hosted by Two Stylish Kays. They actually had stuff for sale in workshop! I had to indulge! I'll post a pic of my new items in another post.

Eboni was one of the lovely models. It was great how they put together accessories & outfits & the many ways you can wear an item.

Beautiful belt they styled on this model.

I took my goodies up to my room & recorded this video. Then, I headed back downstairs for the grand finale: the fashion show!! 

Adrienne, the editor-in-chief over at Sadiddy Magazine. Her hair color is extremely vibrant!!! I loved it! I think I took another pic that I'll put on Twitter or Facebook tomorrow.

The rapper had us all singing "Naturally Beautiful. Perfect the way you are. Naturally Beautiful. Girl, you're a super star!" This woman came from the audience & danced to the song. She was getting it!

<3

Jade from Fashion Rouge. Hot hair! I love see unique hair color!

Taren Boone, the founder of 'Fro Fashion Week. Beautiful! I got a pic of the back of her dress too. ;-) Keep scrolling down.

I really liked this bathing suit! Definitely different.

And of course the guys....

 Introducing: A perfectly shaped fro. Reminded me of one of these.

The back of Taren's dress!!!! :D

 Spotted the beautiful Felecia Leatherwood!

 Trina from Baby Shopaholic sporting a new do'. I snapped a pic of her on the runway, but it came out blurry. #boo

 Look at this little cutie pie! He was blowing kisses at us. He's gonna be a heartbreaker.

This is the reason I almost bought another bag just for my trip home! LOL I ended up stuffing (barely) everything into my bags I'd brought.

Here's the official recap video by Thirsty Roots!

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

That's it! I hope you guys enjoyed my 'Fro Fashion Week recaps! :-) FFW was a FAB intimate, family oriented conference. The suites, demos, workshops, Penthouse Party, Bloggers Brunch, the attendees...I had a ball. I met so many people & everyone was so easy to talk to. I felt catered to the entire time. The FFW team made sure that it was enjoyable experience to the MAX. Tarin was such a sweet & cool person! She & her team did an excellent job! I even spent time chatting w/ her about the DMV. If you're from the DMV, you already know what I'm talking about. lol! Definitely check out Fall 2012 FFW especially if you're in the Atlanta area. I had a SPECTACULAR time & I hope to attend another one!

Rock Climbing Hair

Can you find my hair??? lol!

Me climbing!

The hubs helping Khlo Face climb. :-)

Bopee Bo!! She kicked off her shoes per usual...

I'm new to rock climbing....and ya'll I didn't make it to the top at all! LOL I'm going to try again one day though. I'm obviously still on a twist out high from 'Fro Fashion Week. I wore a twist out that immediately frizzed up before we left the house due to my hair still being damp. Then, it was raining when we got to the place. I used Beautiful Textures Whipped Curl Creme. I can be a bit heavy handed so because of that I used way too much, but after my hair absorbed the excess the next day it was extremely soft. Have you guys used any of the Beautiful Textures line?? I only hear great things about it. Can't wait to try the rest of the line! :D

The 70's Are Back

I've always said this even before going natural. If I could go back in time & live in any decade as a young adult, I would definitely pick the 70's. :-) The fashion, the pride, the songs, the phrases, the AFROS...I'm convinced the 70's is my long lost era.

 And now me.....

When I combed out my twist out yesterday, I couldn't help but feel like Troy from the movie, Crooklyn. Remember when Troy rocked a 'fro at the end?

To me, her afro symbolized how much she'd grown throughout the movie. Rocking my afro can be best described by this. When the hubs saw my hair he said, "This is the moment you've been waiting for, huh?"

Pics gathered from around the web.
