Untitiled

So its been two months since I started my locs again and Im loving every day. But this post is not going to be about my locs which I been sitting here trying to find the words for this.

I lost my mom on Tuesday April 13,2010. I been struggling with the lost but hiding my feelings. Im standing strong for the fact this what my mom wanted and also for the sake of my child. She's too young to understand what mommy is going through and might scare her I truly don't want that. I had my mom cremated and i have yet to receive her remains. Yes! not yet, something dealing with money but she will be coming home soon. I also will be moving into my own apartment this month hopefully. Another thing I have started is my tumblr account I prolly won't be on blogger as much. I need to find more topics to talk about. Maybe after I move I'll have something to talk about. More on hair stuff, my jewelry designs (yes i design) raising my 2 year old, and living alone for the first time. Im also looking for a template for this blog. I might design my own but we'll see. So you guys I shall be back very soon with my moving update and pics of my new apartment. I shall also post a craft. Im really leaning on my artsy side which I have not visited since I had my daughter. So thats it all Im going to post but you will be seeing more of me in the future.

Weight loss and hair

So like I said in my last post I was thinking bout locing my hair. Guess what? I woke up to a head full of curls. I twisted my babies but on a scarf and went to sleep. Awaken to curls and a fro with 2 twists still in my head. I will prolly go to the salon this coming month to get it done professionally and people who know me know I hate salons and being around people. But we'll see how it goes.

Now weight loss I started working out in January I lost 11 pounds that month. DC was hit with a snow storm I stopped working out. I will be going back to working out when I finish this detox. I ordered these pills called ZI XUI TANG BEAUTY AND FACE CAPSULES.

I found them while doing my daily search on YOUTUBE. I stumbled across NINA DETOX PILLS video and she went from 200-125 taking these pills. I said to myself let me reach these and maybe try them. I seen so many women across the net taking these pills and fab results. Yes honey I ordered me a bottle. Now I ordered the bottle Im taking now from another company. Its day 2 of my pills and I feel like a ball of energy. It comes in 48 capsules which is a 3 week supply. I'll post pics of my before and after when the 3 weeks is up. Im waiting on my order from Nina so I can take those for more results as soon as Im done. Im no where near hungry and they said (reviews) to constantly eat or snack through out the day. Im forcing myself to eat. So let me get back to watching the window for my package lol.

Locs the third time?

Im still natural just rockin a flat look because the fro was getting un-manageable. It was 2 tangled up i didnt know what to do. I tried so many products nothing worked so i grabbed the trusty hot comb and got to combing. i haven't did this in a year and I didn't have many split ends. Clipped my ends anyways. I was thinking bout doing braids since i was wearing braids since december. But i have came to the conclusion I'm starting a new set of locs once I get my hair dyed. Im keeping my brown which is my natural color but lifting the front to a light brown or auburn. We shall see and i will post pics. I gotta find someone to do my gel twist because I still dont know how to do it yet. Gotta go still working on this layout just wanted to update guys you a lil bit.

Face lift!!!

This blog is undergoing a face lift right now im looking around for stories to post along wit songs and random gossip and of course im doing a new background and layout hope you enjoy it when its done

I really had enough!

I cut the loc extensions out due to the build up I couldnt get out. So when i took them out I braided my hair it only lasted a week. I guess I took this hair shit along with the depressing shit im going thru. Thats a different story but im just saying. To make the story in why its depressing. I been thru a rollercoaster ride my whole life and now the operator is back. I could give you guys my life story but it would take up my whole blog. My biological father was a druggy and he use to sell clothes off my back along with my shoes...sad i know. My mom made me had hate him most of life. I was assaulted because of him. I mean i can go all day with this shit. But i shall be moving out soon since he's here almost everyday. I feel extremely uncomfortable. I may be moving in bout a week or so. I refuse for this to happen to me or my child. And grant if he even touch my baby imma cut his dick off and put it in his mouth. Anywho's I'll shall be back with pics and vids of my hair bye bye for now! *Muah*

Let me update ya!

Okay guys *sigh* its been a min since I updated this blog. So I been on a rollercoaster ride with my emotions and more. I met my brother for the first time in my life and he's gone. No he didn't die just did some bamma shit to fuck everything up but thats a different story. Anywho I called myself dying my hair red. A big NO NO in what i did. I bleached it and my extentions along with my hair decided they didn't want to be married anymore and just parted ways. So *sigh* I cut my hair no don't be looking like that I ran to the beauty supply store for hair and re-did my locs. Yes they are back and it looks like i never cut them my hair had gotten so frizzy so quick it will be a month AGIAN! on the 5th of December so I'm happy bout that. These days are just going by so fast and I'm loving every damn sec of it. I got to the habit I don't even want to twist my hair nor wash it. Im thinking bout semi-free forming my hair. Just a thought..... I shall be posting my vids I do on here since some of my subscribers are not my youtube subscribers. I should be coming with my dmv spotlight maybe. I'm really thinking bout doing 2 other blogs. 1 for the DMV spotlight of friends or people I listen to and other on just hair and hot shoes Im addicted to heels so that blog will just feature my two passions. Look out for those blogs early next year,hopefully I get a new camera and computer for Christmas. I really wanna branch out and share my loves between hair,music and fashion. But thats it you guys I'm really tired its 12:56 am I been up since 5am with my daughter. BYE!!!

1 month down!

Okay you guys i made it to my 1 month loc down. I love my lil fuzzies im getting. I twisted twice and used carols daughter and a lil loc'n gel for extra hold. My exstentions are budding which i didnt expect for being in a month! I talk to a loctictian and she said its suppose to do that. I like the reaction im getting from people about my hair. My cousin swears this is all mines lol. A few locs have fell out from constant styling. But its okay i just tell people they broke off lol. I would post a pic but im using a different computer so you guys can watch my 1 month celebration vid on youtube under the username JAMISEFIASCO. I dyed them and i plan on doing the whole head soon or maybe just the top a light brown or something. Im experimenting alot with them. I did the braidout,curls,pompador,french braids and many more, I never thought I would love my locs the way i do now. Should have did them earlier =]. Make sure you guys go watch my vids and thanks alot for going on this journey with me.

Im Loc'd baby!!!

Its been bout a week since i did my loc extensions and this time i used %100 human hair that cost me bout $31 a pack and i bought 2 of them. My hair is growing fast with them and i love it. Im thinking bout doing the latching method for a few then go head to palm rolling. Im having a lil slippage and i found out the latching is keepin my locs from slippin. I bleached them and dyed them pink but it came out pink orange and purple not by purpose. I'll post some pics of my locs. Im going to add another section to this blog starting today called DMV SPOTLIGHT and its gonna be on a rapper named Hollywood make sure u stay posted for that. But in the mean time look at the pics and I'll be back with the pics of my latching later on this week well maybe next week and I'll be at my 2 week mark i really want to go a month but we'll see.

*Update*

havent posted in a min. Thought i would give you guys a lil update...i added extenstions onto my dreads and guess wat i did.................i cut my hair. Thought it would come out when i was finished and i made a mistake of not using human hair. I also wanted to dye my hair because i was getting bored. Since you cant dye synthetic hair and since the synthetic was tangled into my locs i chopped them. I miss the hair bad so I'm starting my loc journey over. I dont think i'll be doing braid locs even tho they were good. I wanna loce it a lil fast this time. Im considering getting gel twist -comb coils. I prolly retwist every 2 weeks if i cant go the full 4 weeks. I plan on wearing my lacefront wig to hide my hair on the bad frizzy days. Also check out my vids on youtube under the name JamiseFiasco. I just started vlogging my progress so check me out. I'll post some pics later on in the week after i twist my hair. I might 2 strand twist them if my comb coils dont stay in.

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.

Im about to do like 3 or 4 post y? Because i can DUH! lol. But I have so many topics in my head right now. Like my Natural Hair Journey in pics, My love for men with dreads,and of course the dancers from my city the Beat ya feet kings. Yes i super excited to do that post I'll tell you while in a few. Also follow me on twitter...twitter.com/roxiemonroe another look into the world of me.

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!
