Oh oh oh....

I can NOT believe that it's already been over 8 months since I started this dreaded funtasticness! I thought I'd update with some pics, since I haven't in a while.

Along with the dreads maturing, I've lost a little bit of weight too. In fact, I've lost a total of 22lbs since whenever it was I started actually working out and such last year!! I am THRILLED! I'll be joining up with a boot camp next week that's run by a coworker, so I'm looking forward to a bunch of weight falling off faster in the next few weeks. Go team me! *highfive*

On to the pictures!!

Err...sorry about the blurriness. It's time for a new camera, methinks.


Ffffffffff!! I LOVE how fat they're getting! I have the hardest time keeping my hands out of the top of my head. The texture feels glorious!! It's like...velvet!


I actually wasn't in that good of a mood when I took these pictures, hence the "I'm kinda not really smiling" smile.

They take such an incredibly long time to dry now. Oh! I had my first stranger-in-my-bubble experience regarding my hair. This woman PET MY HAIR in a (get this) costume shop in early December. Literally reached up, pet my hair, and in broken english told me that "eet sooo pret-ty and so soff."

Thanks for reading and looking!!

I should update!

I figured that I should probably update everyone to say that I'm in the process of locing my hair!

After wearing the kinky twists for about 6 weeks, I had an amazing conversation with a woman with absolutely incredible locs in my school's gym. They were amazing, and almost to her waist, and she swung them with such confidence and grace that I was awe inspired.

She looks at me, and says: "You know...the next step from kinky twists is to loc your hair!" and kind of giggled. I told her that at the time, I wasn't entirely ready to do so, considering that I have family with serious hang-ups about natural hair. But we kept talking about it, and that day, I went home and started a massive research on what to do, what not to do, if I should do it myself, etc. It was amazing! I was completely immersed in research for about a week that even my fiance was puzzled.

Anyways, I'm off to work on my art. I should update here some day with that stuff as well. :D
