Natural as I want to be

Thanking God its almost over

Well this is sugamama with the braids, just tryin to get that growth yall. I took them out this weekend with the help of the kids and treated the team to a pizza dinner. Washing my hair felt great without those extensions. Im on my way.

Rockin braids waiting for growth

Wow My first posted picture. It took awhile to get it, but I prayed and pushed on. This picture I have had for a little while. It has been tac pinned at my computer desk for constant inspiration. I found Debbie Allen and Vivian Allen Nixon (mother and daughter) on the cover of a braid magazine and fell in love with it.

Waiting to Exhale

Hello my sistas...Well I have my date of installation for my sls, this Wed and Thurs March 28 & 29 BOY O BOY O BOY O BOY (smile) can u tell I'm excited beyond words. I found my certified loctician on the sl web site. I knew she was the one for me when I found out she lives 10 mins away from me and we are members of the same church (CCC). I mean when God gives u the ok to do something in your life he prepares from all the angles. I called her and we met after church so she could see my hair length. That was Nov 06. She has a beautiful head of 6 year old sl. She saw my excitement and the spark in my eye as I starred at her hair and asked a bunch of questions. She kindly and gently told me ...baby.. u need more hair. (after my GI Jane a month earlier I probably had 1 inch of hair if that) I have stalked the sl blog exchange for the last 4 months reading all from begining to end WoW u girls a serious about this blog thing. Anyway I digress I called my loctician last week and said I think I am ready to start my Journey and wanted her to check a sista out. She is so great, she came by my home and did a spot check for length because both my little ones were sick. Well she made this mama feel so good when she told me I was ready
Yea Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
sugamama in the house!!!!!!!!!!!
I went out today and bought a digital camera. I will take pics this weekend of my braids before I take them out. Then the afro and the installation of my sls. First I have to read the directions for this thang, I am truly old school when it comes to this stuff. I am so excited I will be devouring the instructions. I need to be a pro for my daughters college graduation in May, and sugamama will find a way.
