I just wanted to update you on a few things! So first, Happy Easter (even though it was yesterday). It was a good day. I am begginning to receive compliments about my "new look". I am still wearing the cornrows with an afro puff and I guess people are just getting used to it.
One of the ladies at my church said, "girl, I love your hair, you should wear it like that all the time" another young lady looked at me from across the sanctuary and held up the black power salute (fist pumped in the air). At first, I wasn't sure if it was a compliment but when she smiled at me, I knew she liked it!
On to my sisterlocks accesories. I have purchased the dreadsock and I am anticipating it's arrival before my sisterlocks installation. It is hair protection cap that is supposed to prevent lint (which seems to be a concern for many sisterlocks wearers) and should hold snug through the night. I am a 'wild' sleeper so that's comforting! I opted for the "shortie" because it is marketed for beginners and I chose my alma mater's color, "University of Memphis Blue" is what we Memphians refer to 'royal blue' as. Go Tigersssss!!!!!!!
In other exciting news, my first garden in coming along beautifully. I have big boy tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, cucumbers, red onions, strawberries, watermelons and cantaloupes attempting to grow in pots, buckets and storage bins, lol. I decided that before I "break ground" and get all caught up in this gardening thing I'd better see if I could care for them. No fruit yet but I am caring for these plants like they're my children. They better make me some beautiful grandbabies soon!! LOL
And last but not least, I am a firm believer that knowledge is power and therefore, I'm ALWAYS reading something or another. I ran across Dr. Joann Cornwell's (creator of sisterlocks) book, That Hair Thing while browsing others sisterlocks pages and of course, I ordered it too. I hope it arrives before my installation date. I think it will be a great passtime for this long installation that I'm going to have. And, what better way to feel connected to the process than by peeking into the brain of creator.. Cheesy, I know!!
Other than that, all is well. 10 days and counting before I am officially a member of the Sisterlocks family and I can't wait!!!
LOVE, PEACE AND SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
