One Month Locaversary!!! Yay Me!!!

Hello to all bloggers, researchers and lurkers,

On this fine day/post, we celebrate my 1st month locaversary (5 weeks, technically) AND.... you guessed it.... I am STILL In LOVE!!!! Just had my first retightening yesterday and my consultant was very happy. I had minimum slippage and much growth!!!! This first pic is of the back (duh!) after a wash right before I went in to get my retightening! As you can see, my scalp totally disappeared and my hands were constantly in my hair, due to a few naughty strands that insisted on crawling from one lock to another! SMH!!!

This lovely comparison shot is one of my favorites as it depicts my growth, as well as my weight loss... I probably haven't mentioned this in my previous posts, but I am also working on being healthier and shedding a few pounds (try 50 lbs), this comparison shot gives me hope that I am on the right track!

Last (I think) and certainly not least, here's a comparison shot of my sides! Great, isn't it?! I am thinking if I have such great results in one month, imagine a year!!!!! Eeeeeep!!!! I am still very excited and very in love with my SL's and take great pride in knowing that I am taking very good care of them.

As always, your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated! Until next time...

How about a few more for the road, lol!

Impatient much?!

Blessed day, everyone!

I am IMPATIENT! I am counting down the days to get my SL's! 16 days, 4 hours, 19 mns and counting...

As I wait, I've found myself thinking of my life, and I realize that for 24 years, I've got quite a story to tell! After a 6 year break, I'm going back to school for NURSING (I've made a full, 6 year circle, lol)! I am so excited, finally my life is back on track! It's been a long roller coaster ride with more downs, then ups mixed in with a few loops and swirls! Thank God, I am still here and I am still standing... BETTER, STRONGER AND WISER!

So, as I share my SL journey with you, I pray that the Lord will use my life story as a testimony for His glory and someone, somewhere, someday will be blessed reading it... Be blessed!

Impatiently waiting,

Mondy

Whoo Hoo, I have a date!!!

It's been a while since I wrote here, I actually forgot about it! However, I did not forget about SL's! I've falling even more in love with them... In my last post in February, I was considering the BC, well, I did it! I walked into the bathroom, and chopped it all off in March, it is now 5 months later, and I can honestly say I no longer have a TWA but a very sexy, very happening afro, lol!

The most exciting part is that I've chosen a consultant AND I will be part of the family on September 13th, 2010! I am super excited and will definitely post pics!

Be blessed all,

Mondy

Intro

Hello everyone, after continuously researching, I've decided to get sisterlocks. My reasons are many.... The number one reason, I am tired of perms! Second reason, I absolutely love everything about sisterlocks, especially the fact that I am able to get the best of my natural hair... I love reading the different blogs about locs, and the pictures are priceless, especially the photographic journals! I am now transitionning, and currently have kinky twists in my hair, I'm not sure of the length of my natural hair, but it's long enough for locks and relaxed ends are a bit longer than chin length. I am looking forward to removing my twists, so I may embark on my Sisterlocks journey, I am still undecided on whether I will do the BC (Big Chop) or lock with my relaxed ends... until then, I appreciate any advice as to how to prepare myself, and what to expect. Thank you all in advance and looking forward to joining the SL family!
