My favorite Bday photos..

While I was in Europe on vacation earlier this year for my birthday, my sister snapped a few shots of me that I just love, so I thought I'd post them and see what you think of them.

My sis took me to a performance the evening of my birthday and she snapped this photo while we were at the theatre. I like her use of light and allowing the lens to capture the light of the room:


This photo was snapped after the performance while I was enjoying the music the DJ was pumping for the crowd. I think you can definitely see that I was enjoying myself and that's what I love about this shot!:


This photo was taken while we were walking to the London Eye and passed the Parliament building where the world famous Big Ben clock is:


This is a shot my sis took of me while we were on the London Eye:


These photos were snapped while we were on a bridge close to the London Eye after taking a ride. I love how she captured my expression in the first photo; I look like I'm up to NO good, right? (lol):








This photo was snapped while we were at a Ghanian club:


This was at a metro station in Paris closed to the Louvre. It was so ornate and pretty, so my sis snapped a shot before we hopped on the train:

Amel Larrieux

I went to see Amel at the 9:30 club in DC on August 10th and her show was wonderful. If you ever have a chance to check her out live, I'd definitely suggest you take the opportunity. She is beautiful and talented.

She was very candid with the audience and shared so much of herself with us that I walked away feeling like I'd just visited a friend and what more could you ask from a performance, ey?

Keep doing your thing Amel, you impressed and inspired me!

I know I've been away for some time...

I've had a lot going on in my life and just haven't made updating my blog a priority, but I'm back now and I promise not to be a stranger for so long again (smile).



So, I thought I'd start with updating everyone with the status of my locks. I am now in month 20 and my locks are getting so long and they are very healthy. I've been maintaining them on my own, which are words I didn't think I'd ever utter in the first few years of my locking journey (gasp). I am though and they're doing well. I think it's time for a pro to put their hands in my hair though, just to make sure they are on the right path and still thriving. Here are some update photos, let me know what you think!
