5 months natural / smell goods hehe

heyy guys i'm trying to be a little more frequent with the updates. anyhoo next week i'll be five months natural and just wanted to share a couple pics (make it one pic--serious computer issues) i took just for yall

this is a great experience! loving how my hair is growing and i can't wait for it to get even longer and stronger ♥ doing way more growing than it EVER did relaxed in this short amount of time it's so mind boggling...

random but i wanna discuss perfumes, with the holiday season coming up and all ♥ i think smelling good is one of the important aspects of a woman's physical appearance, plus you just feel
good when you smell good!

so for starters (all descriptions taken from sephora/com)

Flora By Gucci

Gucci Flora is a subtle, sophisticated, floral fragrance inspired by princesses from the past, present, and future. The Flora Donna is a young, classic, and refined woman with the 'Gucci edge' of power and sensuality. The first Flora scarf was exclusively designed for Princess Grace of Monaco in 1966 and soon became one of the most popular Gucci icons. This scent is an expression of the Flora legacy. Its seductive layers mirror the playful details and

bright colors that channel the heart of a fashion empire.

Notes:
Citrus Accord, Peony, Rose, Osmanthus Flower, Pink Pepper, Sandalwood.

Style:
Elegant. Natural. Spontaneous.

my boyfriend got me this as a surprise "just because" present! dont you love those? it smells great

next up:

Parisienne by YSL

The essence of a woman who is incredibly free—she is not from Paris, but Paris adopts her. She knows how to love, how to live. Parisienne is the fragrance of ultra-femininity and sensuality, built with notes of blackberry, damask rose, and sandalwood. The grand floral with a woody structure is luminous even in its mystery.

and last but not least:

Miss Dior Chérie L'eau

Discover Miss Dior Chérie L'eau, a side of Miss Dior Chérie you've never seen before. This lighthearted, energetic fragrance adds a bubbly new facet to the original essence. You can't resist the charm of this fresh take on Dior's classic gourmand blend filled with confidence and enchanting surprises.

Notes:
Strawberry Leaves, Pink Jasmine, Caramelized Popcorn, Strawberry Sorbet, Patchouli.

Style:
Feminine. Playful. Irresistible.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MISS DIOR CHERIE - "EAU DE PARFUM" i don't like the smell of the original one bit =X

protective styles

sorry i havent blogged in soooooooooooooooooo long just been really really busy. can't wait for this semester to end so i can blog frequently. anyways i've done about two protective styles since the last time i blogged. one braids and one a quick weave.

now for some pictures....

the ridiculously short outfit was for a uni's homecoming. there were so many beautiful naturals there it was ridiculous!

anyways after one week inside my quickweave cap my hair really flourished! so i figured i'll keep my hair under the cap for a week, take it out, wash and condition and oil my hair/scalp then put it back on. and by the way my hair has grown a little over two inches in the past 4 months i've been natural. but i have crazy shrinkage!!

and i bought some biotin from "yes! organic" line (don't really remember the mg's but i do know that it is 5000% of my daily value (!!!) ) i'm REALLY bad with rroutinely taking any kind of pills, so i went a whole week without taking them. i'll try to take them more regularly.

at the 6 month mark i'll take a bunch of pictures and show them off.

peace xx
