random ramblings

I have a cool opportunity to co lead a workshop with my friend 
the workshop is centered on natural hair and healthy hair choices
I am excited about it
I also have the opportunity to develop a program for summer school
The program will be centered on positive behaviors 
Life is good 
I like having creative license 
And I can always talk about hair and social work

hair.

Had a date with Alecia at Nourish Couture 

life.

School's out on June 7 
It's fast approaching
Deadlines 
Reports
But I love summer
I always have
I love warm skin, sandals, sundresses, water
Summer is just synonymous with relaxing for me

It's fitting that I work in a place that I get summer break
Biggest Loser and Celebrity Apprentice are getting ready to conclude
Celebrity was hit and miss for me I did watch the whole season but....
Loser is where it's at... Olivia is my fav to win
It just amazes me to see the transformations
But even more so to see the things we do to ourselves unbeknownst to us 
Or because of lack of understanding or overemphasizing shortcomings
There were times when I felt so alone and as if I didn't belong in my own family
But for the grace of God...
I'm headed back to Nourish Couture tomorrow
Plan to get a trim and funky style
I sent a pic this time to give her an idea
I am so blessed 

fantastic friday

So hurrah for Friday
This was our first week back from spring break
It went really well
Today was the first day of Starbucks Frappuccino Happy Hour
And Ulta has a sale on OPI
Buy 2 get 1 free
So of course I indulged

I bought Start to Finish - a base coat, top coat, & strengthener
That's Berry Darling - a hot pink fuchsia
San-Tan-Tonio - the ultimate nude for brown skin
I am ready for the weekend 

may

So it's already May

Crazy how time flies

Spring break is over

But it's already May

We have 26 days of school left

I know I can make it

Spring break seemed to refresh us all

The kids were on target and teachers seemed at ease

Relaxation is a good thing

Hair update

I took down my updo and undid the twists

To a very pleasant surprise

An unbelievable twist out

I know Alecia used Jane Carter Wrap & Roll

But seriously amazing

I undid my hair Saturday and it was fabulousness today

And I thought about washing tonight

But wanted the opportunity to do something funky tomorrow

So excellent experience

Fitness

So still working out

But P90x is pretty much on the self

I had been integrating it with doing Jillian Michaels on cardio days

But now I am kinda over it

I've been chilling with Jillian and occasionally some other random on demand workouts 

But my body is looking good 

Raw

So yeah we aren't so raw right now

Still going strong on veggies

I crave celery and carrots

But today inconsistent with raw for breakfast

And not super reliable at getting the fruit in 

I think the major issue with that is that if I don't eat it first thing I don't really eat it

And that I am finicky about fruit 

Sometimes I am all in and other times ...

My husband has been going to the gym  and they have a smoothie bar 

So I might get back into making smoothies for breakfast which would help with the fruit intake

Such is life
