Holiday edition 2020: Sisterlocks Anniversary

 

Time flies fast. I didn't post my favorites for hair products this year.  No one noticed anyway. LOL  Also, Christmas 2020 marked my eight years and five months Sisterlocks Anniversary.


I have been boutique shopping and enjoying modeling.

I think that I look like Mrs. Claus here! I hope everyone's Holidays were bright. God has a Master plan.

Exciting news coming soon!!!!

Sisterlocks Anniversary: Selah Boutique Styling

 

It's my Eight years and four months Sisterlocks anniversary. I needed to revamp my wardrobe on a "CitiTrends" budget.

Selah Boutique offers curvy fashion and clubwear. Because I am short-waisted, I don't need baggy clothes as a curvy model.


I'm also engineering outfits to work with my body needs including reversing ties.

I'm enjoying different bursts of color.

I'm enjoying mixing the pieces.

I'm definitely trying to work out/exercise more.

Some outfits are more lounge wear.

Some outfits are more formal.

My Selah Boutique selections may not last past a year, but they are a lot of fun. I
watch closely for limited time deals.

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! 
(Dress ensemble from Blaque Diamond Boutique in Aiken, SC)

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
