Red hair inspiration.

From Torpore

Lately I've been quite fascinated with these beautiful pictures I've come across on flickr - of  redheaded girls. Red hair is so lovely, and so intriguing. These pictures also make me long for red hair myself, to be frank. However, I think I'm going to keep my blonde hair for a little while longer...

Authentic Hair by Ademola Mandela

I saw this book about five years ago, when I went to New York. When I got back home, I tried to search for it, because I was really impressed by how the book was put together. So originally, I found it online for about $45 dollars. But I though... O' I will just wait until they lower price. But a few months later, I could not find it any where! It was sold out. So today, I did a search, and someone is trying to sell it on Amazon for $145! Ok, I like the book, but I don't need it that bad. Dang... :-P. Any how, I will keep my eye's open. It was a really nice book filled with pictures of people (a few celebs) with their natural hair. It includes passage and poetry. If I ever get the book, I will share more about it with you.

Mustard yellow, black and soft pink...

... is a really wonderful colour combination, in my opinion, and those are also the colours my outfit today composes of.

Loving the Redo of this style!

Franchesca (from Franchesca.net) read an old post from my blog about

a recent Natural Hair Show. She like the picture featured in the post and

decided to do a hair tutorial doing the style. Here is the original picture

on the left, and Franchesca's re-do on the right!

Very cute! Thank you Franchesca for giving this style a try. It came out very well. Check out her YouTube video below -

Natural Beauty Spotlight - Valerie June

I love seeing how uniquely different women and men loc's/dreads look. Because we all have a different textures, shapes, styles and color of hair. A lot of times, I will see someone that will look like they have perfect loc's, but knowing better... I am sure that each of their loc's are different in some kind of way, whether it be the length or the thickness.

I saw a picture of Valerie June on Holistic Loc's, and I was mesmerized! What a beautiful crown of hair she has. I just love it. Free form dreads are not every one's cup of tea. But I think she looks amazing. Valerie is a singing artist. To read more about her, check out the post on the Holistic Loc's Blog.

Love what you do!

I saw this great poster on The Bright Side Project. I probably mentioned a few times how much I love being creative. My dream was always to be a artist or designer of some kind, but I ended up in boring Corporate America.... :-P.

But I have found numerous was to reconnect with my passion of being artistic. I love to draw, do crafts, sewing, knitting, painting, creating websites and blogging with tons of great images that express what I am feeling or trying to portray. That's how I get in touch that that part of me. I keeps me centered. I would love to hear about your passions and what keeps you happy.

How to Grow Long Hair Fast

There are lots of methods to follow in growing long hair. Here are some tips on how to grow beautiful long hair.

Beautiful long sleek hairstyle for women

Shampooing

When shampooing, wet your hair by putting your head under the stream of water and work the water into the hair with straight downward strokes. Pour the shampoo into the palm of your hand, not onto your head, and begin working it into the ends of your hair, moving up toward the crown of your head. Do not scrub at your hair or bunch it up on the top of your head.

Be careful with long hair — hair that is too long like Demi Moore’s can drag down the face. Long layers work best with pieces hitting at the nose, the chin and the collarbone. Consider a v-shaped style where the length is mainly in the back, while the sides and front of your hair appear shorter. Also, consider adding wave or curls to the hair.

Dark Hairstyle With Irregular Bangs

I love her bangs! Irregular length hair in the forehead.

Back from Sacramento...

I just came back from a great weekend in Sacramento. My family and I went up to celebrate my sister-in-laws graduation. What fun that was! Lots of great food, sun and celebration... Got a chance to get in the pool and and relax. My daugthers, husband and I all got sun-kissed. I can't wait to go back. I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!

My new 40s dress.

I wore this vintage dress from the 40s yesterday - one I recently won on ebay. I think it's so pretty with the lace collar and the lace on the sleeves.

In my backyard.

Hello,
I am sorry for neglecting my blog for nearly a week, but I've been rather busy with a conference, finishing a paper and enjoying the lovely weather we had. But now I'm back, for the time being!
I took these pictures this afternoon in my backyard - it's now cloudy and rainy and not pretty and sunny as it has been for days and days.

Top and tights from H&M, skirt from Gina Tricot, hair piece from Bianco and boots from Bronx.

I also thought I'd show you my national costume I wore on Sunday - Norway's constitution day.


Also, I received two wonderful awards.

A U.K. Hair Affair
By Princess L. Goosby

Sisters around the world are celebrating their natural beauty, and their proclamation of what is beautiful is catching on. Stepping out in style and with a very contagious charisma, they are making a phenomenal hair statement: The way their hair grows is beautiful, chic, and oh yes, stylishly fabulous to boot.

Check out these snapshots of natural styles that are sported in the streets and magazines of the U.K. These styles have a traditional everyday natural look but with a twist of versatility, funk and volume. The result is a head turning hit!

The Coil Review

Check out this Natural Hair website called The Coil Review. It looks really informative. Check it out and let me know what you all think. They also have a blog at Coil Review Blog.

It's about that time....

Y'all... I am getting so old.

Two!! Not one.... but two grey hairs in my beautiful head of loc's.

Aww man, this is a serious reality check. I could just cut them out and go into denial...lol.

Or I can embrace it!

O' what the heck! I think I will embrace it.

You only live once.

So excited!!

I just won a Cantu Shea Butter contest, for a gift bag (valued at $100) on In Her Shoes!

I have never won any thing in contest or giveaways, so this is so awesome. Check out the post here. I have been wanting to change up my maintenance products for a while. I read that if you alternate/change the products you use every 6 months it will help to cut down on build up and give your hair a boost. So this is perfect. I will let you know about my experience with this product line after I try it out. Thank you In Her Shoes!

RE: Bohemian Soul - I love this store!

Check out my new cute knitted-hair-flower and earrings from Bohemian Soul. I just got it in mail yesterday! I love the cheerful color. It's actually a bright orange, but my camera did not pick up the true color.

I originally saw this on one of the Bohemian Soul models, featured on Bohemian Soul's Myspace page -
