Crockpot Cajun Chili

If it turns out as good as it looks and smells, I will post the recipe. I am making cornbread and white rice on the side. I have a small block of cheddar cheese I am about to shred, and a quarter of a small onion I want to mince. There are some other bits & pieces of other potential toppings, just sitting in the fridge, I plan to use up rather than toss out.

Wordless Wednesday

Sexy Sexy Man

years!

It all starts with the letter A

The middle Little wants to learn how to read. So tonight we started with the letter A. I don't think I am going to go straight through the alphabet. I am going to start with his name. He recognizes the first letter of his name and prints it well now we are moving on to the second letter.

Chillin

I went out Saturday night to a great bar/lounge on the Eastside of Manhattan. I did exactly what I have been dying to do. Sip on a drink and groove to the beat.

Dominican Blowout

This is me with my natural hair. No gel or nothing. Air Dried.

And this is my with my Dominican Blowout.

This is how my hair look 5 days after I got it done.Oh this is also right after a 5 inch trim. My hair has grown since this photo.

Dominican Blowout Instruction

I have been getting Dominican Blowouts most of my teenager/adult life. Who knew that they actually had a NAME. Growing up as a bi-racial child in a Italian family, I was regulated to a horrible mushroom cut. (no I will NOT post pictures). As a child I had short, curly, fluffy, fuzzy hair. My Italian grandmother had NO idea what to do with my hair.... never mind how to maintain it.

As I got older as much as I loved my beautiful spirals, I like the look of pin straight hair. I learned I had to allow my hair to grow OUT before it grew DOWN. I needed the weight of the hair in order to obtain length. When I was 13, I was introduced to the Rollo Set and haven't looked back. I generally only get my hair done for AMAZING celebrations.. which only ends up being once or twice a year.

I am amazed and I am hooked. I now have natural (I don't dye or use any chemicals in my hair) waist length amazing spiral curls, and when I want I am able to get the HIP length pin straight hair I had always dreamed about.

Although I am curious about the Brazilian Blowout... I may try it ... but ONLY on my bangs....not that I have bangs but I would GET bangs ..hehe..

Makeup Tutorial?

My little Little is obsessed with makeup. She will use everything.and anything as lipstick and eyeshadow I hide it, she finds it. I take it away and she comes back with more. Btw, this is a Sharpie Permanent Marker.... I used Baby Lotion to remove it.
