Sisterlocks Anniversary: 8 years 3 months

 

So Eight years and 3 months have passed since my Sisterlocks were first established. The time did not fly. Yet, I still embrace my Loc journey.


I'm enjoying my fashion again. There were many phases of my life that I truly was in fashionista mode. Using Selah Boutique is allowing me to refresh my wardrobe at an affordable price for 2020. I even purchased my first Brazilian scrunch butt leggings.


Doing the Census enumeration work actually helped shed some inches off my body.


I am estranged from my birth family. There is a lot of toxicity and family secrets. I struggle with losing my parents, but in recent years, the interaction yielded more misery than comfort. I supposed my worth had deteriorated long before now. Self worth will always have to be a woman's foundation.



Fresh curls always require a fresh picture.

I'm over the hill, but age is nothing but a number.

Sisterlocks Anniversary: Eight years and 2 months

 

Trying to support Sistahs with Boutiques!

My Sisterlocks are at Eight years and two months old.  I am a little late posting for this anniversary.  Parts of me wondered if anyone benefits from my monthly Sisterlocks check-in's, but then I realized that I benefit from this journaling effort.

I still self maintain my Sisterlocks tightenings. I figured out about four weeks equal one full four point rotation.


I made it over the hill! (50 club)



I closed out my #round2mark3 campaign on 9/11 - a good Memorial date.

I used the Colorproof SuperRich Shampoo for my loc maintenance.  My promo code: BENITA10 will get you ten percent off of your purchase at the www.colorproof.com
