Natural Journeys: My Sisterlocks and stuff

Hmmm, well, I guess I figured out  my Lottabody to Water ratio...  I sure needed to because as you can you see, I have a half bottle of the stuff yet to go... and this large bottle WILL LIKELY last me for the next 9 years... lol!

My expectations are high for 2011-- spirit, soul and body from hair to toe! My hair ends are re-locking nicely from my first style haircut back in February of 2010. While the cut has certainly grown-out, the result is still something I can work with. What else is new? Well... as you all know, my Sisterlocks where installed by Paulette Brown of Locks4Life Natural Hair Salon. Now, Paulette has moved to out-of-state. While it has been a long time since Paulette has actually retightened my hair herself, I will always well serviced by any one of the SL Consultants of L4L. For the past year, I've been in the chair of Sabrina Sampson. Then, Sabrina opened her own shop: Lock Envy Natural Hair Salon. So, in subsequent posts and videos I'll later create, I'll be rep-pin' Lock Envy! :-) DON'T GET IT TWISTED, though... I've got NOTHING BUT LOVE for Locks4Life!! What else? Well, I have been working on my skin. I've got wonderful pure makeup and natural hair, but my...

We had so much fun putting this together! My three daughters 'bout break their necks dancing and performing Willow Smith's smash single "Whip My Hair" whenever they hear this tune. (Which is DAILY... since music is on-demand these days with YouTube, right?!) I had a little time over the Thanksgiving holiday to put this together. Unfortunately, 2girlsbigsister was ill during the production but managed to get into Day 2 of trying to work this thing out. Ms.ZB was game from Day 1. Her "swag" was only minimally featured in front of the camera, but BAAAABBY that Ms.ZB has moves with attitude when this song is played. As you can IMAGINE we ALL had headaches for awhile after rockin' out take after take, practicing and messing up! What great family FUN, though! Hilarious... DON'T get it twisted... there is a MESSAGE TO OUR VIDEO! We are saying stay the course doin' YOU naturally. "Shake off" the haters and enjoy shakin' off relaxers, ...

Did you know Dr. JoAnne Cornwell-- the originator of the Sisterlocks method is now on Facebook ? Be advised that there is a FRIEND limit on Facebook of 5000. Become a FAN of Sisterlocks -- there is NO limit! I'm BOTH! Yey, me... lol So far, Dr. Cornwell is actually doing pretty well at responding to Facebook posts. (Or should I say that her ghost writer is doing well...) It may become overwhelming after a while so get in there early... Sisterlocks is BLOWIN' UP! What better way to get your thanks, praise, and questions heard by the originator thru Facebook!! The Internet is a wonder indeed...

Click on the pic for a closer look...   Check out my daughter and I coolin' it on a HOT summer fun day in Detroit... Ahhhhhh, the freedom...

Can you see how proud I am of my first born child's decision to get SLs? She was such a BIG girl. Her Sisterlocks install took 11 hours and 30 minutes with two masterful locticians on her head. My baby was crowned by the INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN Certified Sisterlocks Consultant Paulette Brown and her qualifying Certified Sisterlocks Trainee De'Borah Letbetter The gregarious and creative Certified SL Consultant Atoya Martin did my retightening while my daughter was serviced... a rich mother/daughter time indeed. As a matter of fact, matriarchal love was in full effect on May 17, 2009 at Locks4Life. There were 4 sets of mother & daughter in and out the shop during the day! Daddy got in on the mommy/daughter day action with a little pre-Sisterlocks hug to his baby girl prior to 2girlsBIGsister's SL session. What a special day! More to follow...
