Vitamin...

Yesterday i posted that I would try biotin for hair growth, but today at walmart all they had was the 5000mcg bottle and im afraid to take THAT much a day even though they say its okay. Instead i bought a hair, skin and nails vitamin from target. It says to take 3 per day, which will provide 3000mcg of biotin along with a lot of other things to promote growth in hair, nails and skin. I replace my women's one-a-day with this because it contained just about all of the same vitamins. Let's see how this goes!

Biotin for hair growth?

I've been researching taking the vitamin biotin for hair growth. It is said that it can increase hair grow to up to 2 inches per month where normally your hair grows a half an inch a month. My multi-vitamin, women's one-a-day, already has a small amount of biotin in it but i am going to purchase the specific vitamin at walmart and see if it affects the rate of my hair growth. Will update =)

hair care regimen

Well if u kno me u also know that i plan EVERYTHING. When i take my nubian twists out I am going to use my Godiva shampoo bar from lush, Herbal Essence hydralicious conditioner, giovanni leave-in conditioner, and Olive oil for a hot oil treatment every Sunday. I plan to use shea butter as a moisturizer. I was given a free sample of a daily spray moisturizer from Brenditas body works and I really love it so I may buy a full sized one. I plan to do flexi rods while I let my hair rest for a couple a weeks and then maybe do a sew-in weave. I have sooo many things that I want to try. I really am ready to do my BC now but im trying to stick to my plan lol =)

hmm have you noticed?

While on curlynikki.com i clicked on a post and strangely it had been about something I have been thinking about for awhile! Have you noticed that on commercials the black people always have hair that looks natural. Why do you think that is? People have their own opinions about it but I think they want to show that there is a difference between white people and black people. I think the people look beautiful in the commercials and I wish other black people would see it and think Ohhh well that's what my hair REALLY looks like, maybe i should embrace it instead of trying to look European. But still, it strikes me as a bit odd!!!!

A sad day for fashion...

As you all may know, today February 11th, 2010, Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London apartment. He took his own life about a week after the passing of his mother, and 3 years after his friend committed suicide. McQueen was a brilliant designer so this comes as a great loss to the fashion world. He will live on forever through his fashion. R.I.P.

Marc, My love

If you know me you know that Marc Jacobs is hands down my FAV designer. It would be my dream to attend one of his brilliant fashion shows. BUT for now the closest I can get is watching it LIVE at Marcjacobs.com, Feb. 15 at 8 PM. You KNOW I will be tuning in, and I will give my opinion of the collection. But we all know Marc can do no wrong.

Dear fashion week...


As i was walking to grand central this morning, I passed the Mercedes-Benz fashion week tents at Bryant park. My heart was pounding because I wished so badly to be inside of their. I mos definitely will be volunteering at fashion week in the fall for spring/summer 2011. I would do it this time but the timing is bad, with Valentine's day and the approaching snow. I love the world of fashion =)

Transition style #2/ my weekend at home

I came home yesterday to get my hair done. As you can see I got Nubian twists, it took 8 hrs but i always love them. There really easy to maintain and very cute, in my opinion. Now I am getting snowed in with my mom, hope I can make it back to NY sunday!
