I'm Back..... For Now Anyways

Yes I'm still alive! I know that I have been missing in action but alot has been going on recently and at one point getting on the computer was not important to me. Well let me update you with hair issues first. My locks have really grown and thickened up. I really love how they are turning out. I wish I could show you an update but my hubby broke the camera and I'm expecting a new one any minute now . I hope it comes today! Anyhow I'm sure it will come either before or on my 1 year Loc-Versary! Which is June 1st! I cannot believe that its almost been a year time has gone by so fast and I really can tell a difference. I haven't been in to styling my hair lately mostly free styling. However when I do style my hair I roll them up in hard rollers which is still my favorite set of rollers for now I just love the way my hair comes out with so much bounce and volume! I have to try my Soft Spikes again some day and I still haven't purchased a Caruso yet hopefully soon. Still braiding and banding a lot of my ends are still not sealed but I'm okay with that sometimes I do wish there was something I could do about it. Lately I've been going to the beach and pool alot and I want go under water so badly but I'm not sure if I can. I'm going to ask my consultant but I want to know has anyone ever gone swimming and was able to go under water with out any problems or is there anyone out there that does a few tricks to their hair so that they are able to go swimming? Also does salt water or chlorine water damage our hair well I think it can but how does it damage our hair? Is there anything I can do to prevent it from being damaged? I know those are alot of questions but I live in Miami and it is hot down here and I love getting in the water but I can't enjoy it fully. I wasn't able to take the retightening class due to my sickness but I'm still going to go for it. I know the next class won't be down here again until the end of the year hopefully I can wait that long. Or maybe I'll find another class sooner in a another nearby city.


Anyhow on to other things I have special news to share with you that explains my being absent. I'm expecting in November, me and my hubby are really excited. However the first few months of this pregnancy really took a toll on me. I experienced severe nausea and vomiting which caused severe dehydration and weakness. I wasn't able to keep nothing down which also caused me to lose 20 pounds. I tried every trick in the book and nothing worked. I guess it was something that I had to deal with. Anyhow I'm doing much better now and have a lot more energy, even to get on the computer! lol, During my absenteeism I went to Kentucky to visit family and I also went to Chicago to go see The Color Purple the play was very good, I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see the play. I also made a stop in Atlanta to see some more family. I enjoyed myself on the trip. Anyhow I missed you guys and I know I have a lot of catching up to do and I'm sure there are a lot of new members. Also I dread going to check my yahoo account because I have all the messages that are posted on lock it up forwarded to my address. I haven't checked my email in 3 months so I know it is ridiculous can anyone tell me how to take that feature off? Anyhow I will be back I promise this time to update you on hair pics. Until next time much love.
