Hello my name is Valencia but you can call me V. After years of damaging my hair, I knew there had to be a better way. So I decided to take the path to go natual and lock up. I was Sisterlcoked from June 2006 until Sept 2010 (4yrs). In which during that time I truly enjoyed my hair freedom. Unfortunately my journey had to come to end due to post partum hair loss. I have recently started a new journey this past September, and looking forward to all the ups and downs. As a new Sisterlocks™ Consultant I want to give women and men that same freedom.

My Sisterlocks Wish List

( This is what you do when you are sord of bored...) You think up a whole list of stuff that you may not need but really want, to make you happy.

1. Brunsli Hair Ties

2. Some More Tomoka's Twists (Have some on the way!)

3. Jumbo Soft Spikes (In Purple of course). I already have the regular ones but I think I will like the jumbo size better.

4. Some More Brunsli Hair Ties

5. Medium Nappy Lock Tool ( I currently have a small and majority of my locks have swelled up which is a good thing!)
* That is also on the way!

6. 2008 Sisterlocks Calendar

7. Wrap-A-Loc (I so adore those curls!)
* I tried the pipe cleaners not feeling them, and plus I can't find any in black or brown.

8. The Purple People Heater I've been searching for a hair dryer for a minute now and being able to find one in purple with the help of Renea and Brunsli has ended my search.Yes I would buy this hair dryer because it is purple( yes I already know I'm crazy lol). Now if only I can talk my DH in buying this lovely gift for me,lol. I'm working on it though and I have to say I'm wearing him down! He will give in eventually. Asking him for the new Verizon Voyager isn't helping either but I know I will get my way! Hey it's his fault for spoiling me, lol. Isn't that what Husbands are for? Anyhow on to # 9, yes there is more!

9. Aquis Microfiber Turban . You guessed it. I want it in Purple! It took me long and hard to find one in purple majority of the sites didn't sell them anymore but I found one that did only to find out there on back order but that's okay I'll wait!

10. Good Hair Conditioner. I only condition my hair once a year until they completely lock and I'm looking for a good one before June. If any of you have any recommendations please let me know.

11. Did I mention Brunsli Hair Ties ? Lol

I think that is about it. I hope I haven't forgotten anything! I'm sure I have more. After reading this post I have realized that I have a very long list, and that I am in love with the color purple. Oh well I guess I better go do something constructive. Until next time much love!

My Time At Sublime ( Not Hair Related)



Ok so me and my DH had a chance to get away from the kids for a few hours. We took that opportunity to go out to eat. Recently we have changed our diet to a vegetarian lifestyle so we knew it might be difficult to go to a regular restaurant so we decided to go and give a restaurant called Sublime a try. They are 100% Vegan and all their products are natural and organic. Meikmeika suggested this restaurant to me a while ago. Why didn't I go sooner? Me and DH really had a good time and we enjoyed our food it was wonderful. If I had to rate Sublime out of 5Stars it would get a 5!.

My thoughts on the food
My food was delicious and so was my DH's (lol, you know I had to try his food as well). I never knew vegan food can taste so good. We had Fried Green Tomatoes as an appetizer it was good, my first time trying that dish. For the entree I had Pad Thai and my DH had Portabello "Tenderloin" along with onion rings, mashed potatoes and spinach. For dessert we had a Peanut Butter Swirl Brownie. (That brownie was so delicious I ended up eating the whole thing! It was so warm and moist(that doesn't sound right but I'm still talking about the brownie! lol). Me and my DH was very pleased with the food and the presentation was awesome!

My thoughts on Environment
The environment was great, it had a very modern feel. The scenery was nice, they had cascading waterfalls and the seating was spectacular and comfortable. The lighting was great it was dim, they had nice candles on every table.

My thoughts on Pricing
Well I have to admit the pricing was a little steep but it was well worth it! Plus all the proceeds(100%) goes to charity. Isn't that great?!

My thoughts on Customer Service
The customer service was outstanding! Our waitress was very helpful and informative. She took the time out to explain to us about specials, how dishes where set up and what she recommended. To top it off we even had a chance to meet the owner! She went to every table and spoke with everyone! I was amazed because you don't see that often, in fact I've never seen it. ( To Meikmeika did she do that while you where there?)

Anyhow we had a very good time. I will be going to that restaurant more often.
I am so glad that I decided to change my lifestyle to a vegetarian lifestyle. Its one of the best decisions that I have made I am starting to feel the affects of it. I have alot more energy and I feel good about my health and what I'm eating. Going to this restaurant has led to me to search for others and to start cooking new dishes. I will try out one or two new recipes a week and when I do I'll be sure to pot pics for you Meikmeika. However I must warn you they might not come out as good. Anyhow I just wanted to share my experience hey if you are ever in the Ft. Lauderdale area you should give Sublime a try even if you are not a vegetarian you will enjoy the food just as much! Until next time much love.

Sorry I didn't think to take pics of the food or the restaurant at that time.
