Sisterlock Sisters

These are updated pictures of lil' sister's locks... Too cute! I love her hair it is so thick. She let me trim off some of the ends however this is the before look. We tried to to take pics of the after but my camera needed charging. I will post some later.She still wants to keep a little of her ends. She likes the curl it gives. If I remember to take my camera. Maybe if she comes over later to bring back my two CDs(Keri Hilson and Ciara) and my book"Never Again Once More". I know you're reading this!! You jacked my book!!! We are in a book club and she threw hers in the trash can.

Sister's locks are 17 months. She doesn't do a darn thing to her hair... I think she puts rollers( those bendable stick thing-a-ma-jigs) in the morning and two pony tails at night and thats it.... The pics do not show the true thickness of her hair. I need a better camera honestly.

Bring my book so I can be prepared for the meet up/book club... I love you!! (remember the end of Grey's Did you say it? Drink all of life in and take a look around and be grateful and thankful and remember to say it.)

** I decided to change the side of my part and I like it.. Looks fuller to me... Just wash and go...

Hair-mazing

(The last time I wore this shirt )

I am simply amazed at how my hair grows or transforms. As a look at other ladies blogs and track their growth and changes I am speechless. Dewdrop,Chosen Vessel, and Knots and Locks and Adoration and so many others that I like... I eagerly anticipate each month to add yet another milestone. It's easy to see the current styles and looks that everyone has but look at where they started. Some pretty and others well .... others that you say I am glad I don't have that problem or glad that your hair don't look like that... Either way...Its a trip... A fun one that is full of discovery. You wake up and discover new stuff that you can do to hair.. You discover hair styles by accident and roll with it...

I have very soft hair so some of ends are curly and do not have that lock feel but no one know but me.. I will have to post some before and after pics of my sisters extremely thick locks...She hasn't cut her ends off though. I will do it for her this summer. I think she is ready. I wanted her to wait one full school year but they need to go...

Happy Sisterlocking or Locking

Penny's Secret

I am no longer in denial. I am a thick girl. I decided to post some full body shots because this past year I have gained thirty pounds. I am sick of it really. I am tall so my weight looks different on me. I guess I wear it well. I am officially on a diet or should I say life change. My weight keeps me from dating among other things and since I am not dating I might as well eat but the weight keeps me from dating.... It's a crazy cycle. Bad enough I used to have the brown girl issues which I will not speak about but you know what I mean if you are a brown girl. Let's put it this way when you get played you begin to critique every thing about yourself..... I feel like Oprah with the weight thing. I excerise yes not a fan of it. My second address is not at the gym. I am starting to eat right as of last week but I back slid this week. I am an emotional eater or snacker. I snack all the time. If I am mad I snack if I get my feeling hurt I snack and if I am in deep though I snack. When I am really liking or feeling myself I work out.Hmmm what a connection I just made! So I am saying today!! I like myself way too much to be this new person. I will loose this weight by the end of the summer so consider this my before shots. I will not post progress shots nor will I say what I weigh. I am 5'7 so it stretches. My sister had a baby and lost all her weight. I still have mine..... However I don't really compare my self to anyone but my former self. I am working on the inside to transform the outside but old habits die hard.

In all fairness about 15 lbs is due to steroids and the other meds I take on a regular basis. The rest of my assests is all on me.

My hair looks good since I can see length. I only see length through pictures in person I only see flaws. Today this man was talking to his son and I guess they were talking about my hair cuz I heard the son say something that he wasn't shaving his hair off. The conclusion that I drew was that he wanted locks and his father (old school shallow black man) was asking him if thats what he wanted while looking at me. You know I gave him the evil damn eye like don't stare at me and talk cuz I ain't deaf you know...... Any who....
