New Products YAY!


I FINALLY did it. i FINALLY made up some salt and sugar scrubs and some bath salts YAY!

I been making these for ages but never put the time into packaging and all that till today so I am happy. One more thing on my "to do list" checked off!

I have listed these mostly as "choose your own scent" kinda deals, but may make individual listings for scents in the future.




The sugar scrub is yummy. I have one listing for the Pink Sugar Type scented salt scrub. I made myself some of this not too long ago in the dead of winter, and OMG! heaven!!! My skin was even softer than it normally is and thats some SOFT skin! Makes your skin glow too. I like it, and it makes you smell good too. I scent it kinda heavy like all my stuff, I intend for you to smell like this at least all day LOL



I also listed a new lip balm I made the other day. Its Orange Dreamscicle. YUM! Maylee actually stole one of these and LICKED IT! She liked it so much...of course she now owns the one she licked and I charged her 3 bucks, or we can settle up her bill with some sweet baby hugs. We are still in negotiations on this one.


So thats it for my new stuff, just thought I would post cause my blog is terribly neglected lately. I hate being so busy!

Oh and dont forget about my sale on ARTFIRE!! I will be posting these items today!

******************DREADLOCK UPDATE! NEWS FLASH!!*****************************


This is the back of my head...my dreads are about 2 months old now. They are coming along slowly but surely. This is right after palm rolling...and they still kinda dont look like dreads (sigh)


I do have some good ones though...the ones in front are locked up pretty good...I pay more attention to the back when I palm roll though...weird.

All advice on what to do about my dreads is much welcome!!! I have a small bird family nesting on the top of my head now cause its so frizzy.


Oh in case anyone is wondering here is my dreads. This was taken this past week, and my dreads are about 2 months old now. They are coming along...wish they looked less frizzy though. i am looking into remedies.

My dreads now in color


I now have a rainbow of color in my dreads!


I got blue, yellow, red, green...I am one colorful hippie chick now!

I am in awe of how vivid the colors are. I have not had pretty colors in my hair for YEARS! I love this new look.

My "Loc-tician" suggested this idea one day and I went for it. I am all about color, and besides I havent touched my hair in 4 years or more so its time to do something, right?

You can see on her site all the cool stuff she has done to peoples hair.



Now for more pics!























As you can see here I now have rubber bands in my dreads. They had matted up real bad at the roots and I think it was from me wearing my wool dreadband all the time. So she pulled it apart (ouch!) and put in some rubber bands so hopefully it will behave instead of wanting to make one huge dread...thats what it wants to do obviously!

This dread thing is a long journey, and its turning out to be quite an adventure! Hope you guys like the new colors, leave a comment let me know whatcha think! My freak flag is flying high now! LOL

My new dreads!

I wanted to post last night but we had to take Tyler to karate class and then we watched a Kung-Fu movie so I didnt have time but anyhoo I HAVE DREADS!!!!!!!!!!!

This is me before I went to the salon. Oh and if anyone reading this is in Lousiville Ky I can give you the name and number of the nice lady who did mine. She gave me her website and I would post it here but I cant get it to come up! AHHH! I would love to see her pictures and share it with you guys but it dont work I will have to call her and get her to clarify the web address for me but anyways!







here is me now! I love my hair!


If you want to see ALL the pictures I took of my hair I have a photo album on photobucket of everything. I hate to post them all here cause that would make the page hard to load for those still on dial up...I know your out there, crawling the web like an arthritic dinosaur.


No wax or other funky stuff was used in making my dreads. these are all natural baby! I love the lady who did them for me, she was a Rasta and it was so refreshing to talk to her. She is all about love and acceptance, it was VERY nice to talk to her and I would love to be her friend! I cant wait to go back and see her in 2 weeks for my touch up. I have so much I would love to talk to her about since she is of like mind. I had no idea about Rasta stuff until I met her. It sounds like something I would be interested in so I am reserching it. Anything about love and light makes me feel warm and fuzzy and I totally believe in synchronicity and I believe I was sent across her path for a reason. She totally uplifted me and just really made my day go so much better. I feel so pretty and so energetic again!

I was feeling kinda down on myself before I left to get my hair done but since I have this new 'do I just feel on top of the world! MAybe this is what I been needing for so long...and I finally feel like I am complete...I look the way I feel if that makes sense...kinda like the whole "woman trapped in a mans body" thing but this has to do with my hair not anything about sex or gender confusion...I am 100% sure I am a woman inside and out LOL

Ok I am babbling. I got to go do stuff and Maylee has been up all morning and her father is being kind enough to watch her...must be my dreads! LOL He seems to like them a lot too which is nice to be getting so much attention ya know. I will enjoy it while it lasts!
