Latest Trend Hairstyle

Hello all! I received an email from a reader by the name of Christy. She is obsessed with picking out the lint in her loc's, with is causing major damage, including thinning of her loc's. Below is picture of two of her loc's, one healthy and one thinned out because of constantly being picked at. I have a few suggestions from previous post ( link fix & repairing broken loc's - which can also be used to fix thin loc's). Leave a comment for Christy if you also have advice on what she can do to repair thinning loc's. What have been your quick or not so quick fixes?

I don't know about you, but when my tennis shoes get to the point where the springy bounce is gone, and their not so pretty any more - I am ready to replace them. Once I buy new shoes, I often just toss my old shoes. That for me is the norm. But recently I read an article in people magazine about a man that decided to start donating his and other peoples used tennis shoes to under privileged children in other countries. What a great idea. Of course, if all things were possible, I am sure we would rather be giving these children new shoes. But for a child that has no shoes at all, something used is just as helpful. So I think that when I go to buy my next pair of new sneakers, I will check out some Project Sole as a source to recycle my old shoe. From Project Sole: "We are a shoe charity. We use your donations of athletic tennis shoes to supply durable footwear for others in underprivileged communities throughout the world and use proceeds to make financial contributions in...

I do know that the majority of the readers for this blog are women. So I do apologize if the phrase 'you guys' was a bit annoying... :-P.

Beautiful photos from Decas, who lives in Bermuda. Below is a picture of him and his wife. What a lovely couple.

For facebook users, there is a cool fan page called Black Men Who Love Black Women . I like this page because there are a lot of women with different textures and styles, that come together to celebrate their own unique beauty. "There is somethingintriguing about the black woman who loves the way she was born. So much so that she goes against the grain and chooses NOT to put a burning-hot relaxer on her scalp to straighten her hair in order to fit inside the "mainstream". This group is for all guys who recognize the black woman's natural beauty. And if you are a woman with natural hair, please join ad represent yourself."

Ok.... so I am so happy. It's funny how sometimes the smallest things can make you smile. I have been wearing the same broke down glasses for like 2 years now. Much longer than that! But the last 2 years have been the worst because my glasses were basically falling apart. I was working from home for a year or two, so my insurance was basically non-existent. But things have been better lately. So I finally took the plunge and brought 2 pairs of new glasses. What do you think? This is the first time I have ever gotten square frames, but I kind of like it. I am hoping that I have that sexy librarian look going on... lol. Ok ok .... so I am a big nerd. But a cool nerd... right?!? Maybe even a little très nerdy chic?  He he.. one can only hope! Happy Thursday everyone.
