ON MY WISHLIST

Happy Friday/Weekend Lovelies!

I hope that this week has gone well for everyone. Mine has. I'm excited about next week, but I'll talk more about that... next week. ;)

There are a few things that I've been fienen' to get in my closet. One of them has been for more wrist-candy. Truthfully, I've normally only gone as far as Target for go-to pieces because I'm unaware of places to find great bangles & bracelets that won't level my bank account. Well, Sophia over at Kiffe Coco has enlightened me to a wonderful designer.

Meet some of the wonderful workings of Amrita Singh that are now on my list.

Well, I'm off to dine w/the fam for my brother's b'day.
Hope you all have an awesome weekend!
Peace.

THE HAUTENESS OF YOUNIKNESS JEWELRY

Younikness Earrings

I just could not wait to post about these earrings. I actually was trying to take photos of them once I receive my new cam but the hauteness of these girls got the best of me. I absolutely could not wait to wear them.

Back in December, Younikness.com had a major marketing campaign sponsoring several Christmas gift giveaways on several blogs. I was fortunate enough to be a winner of one of these giveaways, receiving two earrings of my choice.

Get ready for many a pic of me posing featuring these fly ass earrings.

See me tryin' to ANTM pose. Haha!!
 Oh, I'm gonna be such a terror when I get my new cam. Lol.

For the record: I do not favor the "bra-strap showing" look...on me. Wore a cardi over this & took it off to get a better pic of the earring.

I am so in love with these earrings.
I'm a definitely a customer now. I've already "wishlisted" a few more earrings on the web store.
You can peruse and purchase at the site. Just click on the link below.

Not sure if I'll post again til next week. No, can't say I'm going to Fro Fashion Week. I wish. I'll actually be setting up camp at the superbowl of competitive cheerleading, Cheersport Nationals. Hopefully, both events won't be on the same weekend next year.
Ttyl,

NOT SO MINI

This pic of a mini-cooper (from The Benny's Lullaby blog) has absolutely no relevance, outside of the term "mini", to this post. I just think that they are one of the most adorable cars around. ;)

Hola Beautiful Ones!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. And if you don't celebrate it, I hope that you had some wonderful days off. For Black Friday, I hit up Sage Naturalceuticals and purchased Komaza Care's Intense Moisture Therapy for a deep treatment. I'm all out of my tried and true Hairveda SitriNilla Deep Conditioner, so I'm giving this one a whirl. I've used Komaza Care's Hair Nourishment Oil and loved it. So I expect nothing less from this product. I'll definitely let you all know what I think about it. I'm already lovin' the scent. But I'll save all that for my official review of the product.

And yes. That was all I purchased. Now don't go to thinking that I'm so good and was all that restrained. It was simply a matter of this is what I can afford right now. Trust me. If I had had the room in my budget, I would've purchased a styling butter (for twists/braids) since I'm just about out and about 2 to 3 oils. Winter time brings out the oil-rinser in me. Not to mention having to stay on top of sealing my ends and my skin after getting out of the shower.

This is my attempt to do mini-twists in my hair. A part of my goal was to do a protective style that I could do buns, ponytails and updo's with. The other part of my reason behind this style was to give me enough time for my stand-alone hairdryer and flat iron to arrive. That's of course, after they've been order. Lol. And lastly, because I wanted something different.

Now as you can see, they are small-er, but not so mini. Lol.

Well, actually some of them are mini and some are not. I ended up re-twisting a couple in the back because they were way too thick. I think that they are still a bit too big but "Oh, well". I'm not doing this over.

I had actually wanted to wear my hair straight for the holidays but given that it rained some, I'm not bummed out about it. However, I'm wanting to sport the straight look for New Year's Eve. Where ever I go to celebrate and bring in the new year, I envision myself wearing a dress similar to this one on Halle along w/straight tresses.  

Catch is, because I only straighten my hair twice (at most) a year, it's bound to "blow up" on me in a party type setting. Thus negating all the time spent on straightening it in the first place. Haha! It's cool though. I'll deal with it.

What's going on in your hair world?...
