Spring Break 2012

This year, I am having my first Spring Break! Yipee! I am going to be hanging out with close people in my life and the truth is, I cannot wait! I will be leaving town this weekend and I will be headed out to the sun. My Spring Break essentials are:

1.) Chillimango Vest - $12 

2.) Forever 21 cropped burn-out tank - $8.90

3.) Wrangler Girls Jeans - [Gift]

4.) Leather bag - [Gift]

I am super-excited. I will be on a long road-trip and getting my hair wet a lot with swimming and foreseen water games, so I did a corn-row stretch last evening. As i said in a previous post, corn-row stretching is a nice and comfortable way of protective styling and with salty water, chlorine etcetera and fear of over-combing my hair, this will definitely save Nolan. I will also be saved from styling my hair every morning.

 Since I travel light, the only hair essentials for my trip are:

1.) My satin hair bonnet. It protects the hair from hard friction from cotton/wool materials while sleeping.

Preventing split ends too.

2.) Extra Virgin Olive Oil [EVOO]- It is my favorite moisturizer as it locks in moisture in hair and prevent frizz. Since I have cornrows on, I am mainly using it for hair health purposes, Strengthens hair strands.

I did an experimental manicure yesterday. It went down south but I will stick to it!

Also (a) major essential(s) are Moisturizer and Sunscreen:

In different environments and with different weather/climate, you must care for your skin. This is to prevent coming back home looking like a troll or having Vampire skin. I am totally against flaky pale skin if you can prevent it. I will be posting on my trip- so you will be updated :)

Have a lovely time,

DO-4-SCHOOL #2 'The Fedora Poof'

This is hat week for Nolan. Hat week is the first week of the month. I wear hats to school since back in High School, my teachers didn't let me wear them in class. The 'No Hats' rule. So since I joined college last year, I was happy to live out a teenage dream. LOL! For my Do-4-School on Monday, I dressed up my poof [after a corn-row stretch] and wore my grey fedora.

What is a 'corn-row stretch'? A corn-row stretch is simply braiding few cornrows with natural hair and letting the style stay for some few days. It is one of my favorite ways of protective styling. I visited my parents last weekend and got the chance to get my corn-row stretch done.

I prefer two. It's fun to dress up :) I also got the chance to dress up my Ankara Bow on my road-trip.

A great week to you :)

I love the fact the hat is not hiding the hair; just acting as an accessory.

Since I started my Natural journey, I have picked up several habits here and there. One of them includes frequently checking my favorite hair blogs which have their own bookmarked folder. Frospiration is a segment that I will be posting often on my aspirations for Nolan, my hair. I will be posting photos from my favorite hair blogs. They will all be credited to their sources. The photos more or less describe how I'ld like my hair to look like at some point of its journey. Other photos will just be of super-cool hair, though I do not necessarily want to pull them off ☺.

Have a lovely time,
Siri Nusu
