Sharing my Hair Journey

Hi and Good Morning

So, I came back from a long day of hanging out with my sister (which is why there is a lack of posting - she is leaving on Friday for the summer and we are trying to spend as much time together as possible) to find I have new comments and new followers, which is totally cool because they saw my big bald head on curlynikki!!!!!!! A blog that has truly inspired me and taught me more about just hair. So, hello to all the people passing through here, Thank You very much for taking your time to check out my little spot in the blogsphere!!!!!!!!!

Here is a link to curlynikki, in case you would like to walk down memory lane with me.

To my new followers, my blog is basically about me, my hair journey, living in a new country and the experiences and challenges that come with that, my leg ( I 'used' to suffer from a medical condition which had resulted in one leg being shorter than the other and no hip joint - but now my leg has grown and I started wearing proper normal shoes for the first time in my life this year - so there are a few posts about shoes), there's Nico/Rocco/Bruno and Desi ( those are my camera's and phone - I am a namer (I like to name stuff...... I can't explain it)) and everything else. Have a look around and feel free to comment and ask questions.


Peace, Blessings and New Beginnings

Sweet Chai Tea

'Tea is a cup of life'.
- Author Unknown

Good Afternoon everyone

Just a heads up, I figured out how to blog from my phone, so dont mind me, if now and again, you may see a few mistakes and whatnot, its just me, getting my technology on....Lol

So, I have a new favorite drink. I stumbled upon this drink during winter time here in Stockholm when I was walking around in the city and I stopped at the coffee shop (FYI there is no Starbucks here but there are coffee places though) so in me walks and I looked at the menu and asked for a Chai Latte (because I am gonna be honest, it looked English) and folks I was sold. But that stuff is hard on the wallet, so I went into my health food store and what does my eyes see?!!!! Sweet Chai Tea!!!!!! A box of 15 teabags (which is the price of one large mug at the coffee shop) so you know, I bought that right!!!????

Then I came home and got my YouTube on and figured out how to make the Chai Latte. I am telling you, a little education can do wonders!!!!! Anyways, now I just need to buy the thingie to make the milk frothy - but I need that cheap cheap, so that will have to wait a bit. Any ways, here is my new favorite tea.

The ingredients are: Ayurvedic Spice Infusion
Anise, Fennel, Liquorice, Cardamom, Black pepper, Cinnamon, Ginger and Cloves. Making this tea sweet and spicy and oh so aromatic. It smells divine. It just smells so good when you open the box which is sooooo pretty!!!!!!

At the bottom of the package is a Yoga pose - which I think is so cool.
Every teabag has an inspirational message, this one says - ' 'Fear not a narrow home, fear a narrow heart'.
I added some milk and more cinnamon to mine and I was set for the night. The packaging also gives you tips on how to make it so that the spices infuse longer.


Here is a link in case you want to know more and read up on Yogi Tea.

Disclaimer: I am not associated with Yogi Tea. Actually, I am not affiliated with anybody !!!!!!!! I just wanted to share with you something wonderful and lovely, since I am also using Ayurvedic oils for my hair and skin, I thought this is another way to take better care of my body by drinking healthier drinks and eating healthier foods.

Day 6 hair.

'Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices' -Shana Alexander

Happy Sunday all

So this week, I redid my twist and curl, but instead decided to remain with just a two strand twist. I wanted them to last so I did these pretty small, kept them tied up and didn't do nothing with it and here are the results. I did my hair Monday night, so I am counting since Tuesday morning. Today my hair was looking a bit dry, so I spritzed it with water, added shea butter to the ends, Aloe Vera gel to my whole head and Argan oil to my scalp, edges and all over the hair. Onto pictures.

It seems that my hair is in layers.

Playing with the camera effects.

So the plan is to remain with this for another week, do a twist out and then re-twist. I think I may have found a summer style.

Blessings, Joy and Twists

Shoes for days!!!!!!!

'If the shoe fits, buy it in every color'
- Author Unknown

Hello!!!!!!!

Its official ladies, I am in the running for the 2011 World record of most shoes (in my head). Anyhooooo, I bought some sweet little numbers for my feet. I figured, I have been pampering them, wore some sexy red nail polish so I needed new shoes to show off my gorgeous feet and here we have 'em. I gotta say it feels good getting shoes in my size even though some stores are hating on the petite sized feet......But I am at a Happy place in my heart, so I won't let that stop me. Onto pictures, because I wanna show them off ;-)


These go with almost any colour.

My new favorite shoes!!!!!!!


So yep, my shoe collection is growing and growing.


Blessings, Love and Red Nail Polish

Good morning

So with Spring FINALLY here, I felt I should post about my little bags that I bought in London. These babies are cute, funky and small enough to carry a lot, including my wallet, camera, Ipod, keys, tissues, lip gloss (I never leave home without it) and chap-stick (lip ice)!!!!!!!!!! Yep, best bit about these babies they were ALL under £4 each at Primark. One even only cost me £2!!!!!! Introducing my summer bags.




My favorite one. Its my day to day bag.
This one I gave to my sister
I love the pattern on this bag.
This one I gave to my mother
So these are my little bags, hopefully, I will get some big bags also during summer. I am officially a bag lady!!!!!!! Hello world.


Blessings, Love and Bags
