My Natural Journey in pics
























































Guys and dreads

I been in love with guys with dreads since the duffle bag boy video. I use to hate seeing boys with dreads until i saw Tity Boi from Playaz Circle. Let alone my godbrother has them and they are really cute. After seeing that vid i been in love. I started loving Lil Wayne even more yes people say he can't rap or his voice is annoying but i love his hair alone with his smile. I even dated a guy with dreads. His dreads were long and slightly puffy and he kept them twisted. Which brings me to another thing i love dudes who keep thier dreads twisted. Im not into the whole i guess they call it "free form" look cause on a sexy guy its not attractive. Im also into the hairstyles they wear with them like um lets see....BUSTA RHYMES! Yes when he used to wear his hair in those braided ponytails i loved them and i got uber upset when he cut them. I still love him though lol. I can go all day long into why i love men with dreads. My friend has dreads to the middle of his back and i love them especially when twist them and leave the twist in for a few days. It looks so good when he takes them out. I been searching all over Facebook and Google for pics but i dont want to put pics of people i dont know on the blog sooooo im going to leave that one alone. I really love dreads. Long dreads,short dreads,curled dreads,dyed dreads,styled dreads i just absolutly love them. Okay enough of my i love dreads rant check these pics.


















































ABDC






So I was hearing that Beat Ya Feet Kings were going to be on ABDC. I thought it was a joke like "nah nobody from the southside on there" and again i was wrong. I never been so proud to see a product from my side of dc on something so view around the world. Im happy as ever right now. Now the world is seeing our dances and music. I only seen it on MTV2 when they did the inaguration for obama and showed dc hood. I see they give much play to Artist from DC like Wale and Tabi Booney. I love them and how they put on our city to the fullest. Back to Beat Ya Feet Kings. I remember being and school and people yelling its beat ya feet time and there was go-go music playing and a circle was formed with boys and girls dancing. The same way these dumb ass dances keep coming out im glad we got some shit on the tv now. Im tellin you i was super happy cause MY CITY is on ABDC i swear to you Washington,DC is taking over. We in there baby im so proud.

Just the beginning


I been permed since i was 5 yrs old and im now 21 with a 1 year old daughter. I been looking at women with dreads or tight puffs and realized the beauty with natural hair. My cousin who is also my godbrother been growning dreads for some yrs now told me to loc my hair. Now im scared to loc my hair because i have touch-a-phobia. I like different hairstyles which i change every other week. I went from blonde to black within a month. I been bleached,fried,and dyed. I had the weaves which im in love with to the braids. I chopped my hair in 08 for a cute summer look and it was a gift from my mom. Then as of April 09 i decided to chop the rest off and grow it out natural. I researched about locs and wanted them but again i was scared. I wore the wigs or my TWA with pride. I told myself after my 21st bday i will loc it up. So when my birthday came i couldnt find anyone to start my locs and again i was researching for another solution. I came across a video on YOUTUBE about Braidlocs I feel in love with them. On August 3, 2009 I braidloced my hair. They started to unravel within a few days so again i braided them over but smaller. As I sit listening to my favorite mixtape i decided to document everything. Im always a talker but never a blogger. So since Im doing this new journey on a new life with locs and single motherhood I wanted to share it. Im happy with my nappturality and my fam loves it except my dad which he told me perm my hair. Im no longer on the creamy crack journey but a beautiful natural journey. I cant help but sit in the mirror and stare at myself because I feel so sexy and i love the way i look. For a while i thought i was the ugly duckling who transformed in my makeup and my wigs or weaves but now i like feeling like me. Just like Don Juan said Lookie Looky I am in love with myself! Thats my theme song and im gonna rock it every damn day cause im so fuckin Lookie Looky!
