… but I’m gonna claim “preggo brain‘ and keep it moving. As I said prior, I styled my box braids most days during my trip home to the Virgin Islands, but did not take photos of all those styles. To prove a point, these photos were taken 2 weeks after the previous post … meaning I had 2 weeks of varied styles (’cause ya’ll know how I do) and ain’t took nary one photo of them styles. The pure shame and horror. tsk tsk
Anyhoo … enjoy the couple shots I did take near the end of my trip:
It’s simple but I figured I would still share since I did bother to take the pictures *hee* . By the end of the trip these braids were shot. I pulled them up into a high ponytail with a large Goody flex barrette.
I will now attempt to distract you from my major photo-taking failure by including this photo below with an incredible view of the hillside in St. Thomas U.S.V.I. in the background.
When I was in the Virgin Islands I styled my box braids most days. Unfortunately my good intentions to take photos of all those styles fell way short. Here are a few shots I did remember to take near the beginning of the trip. The front was flat twisted into a side ponytail in the back. Enjoy!
OK, waaaaaay longer ago than I’d like to admit I was contacted by Margie, the owner of Celestial Comforter, LLC. She creates several products, including oversized shower caps that easily accommadate oversized hair LOL. I really really REALLY love her product and strongly recommend them to everyone, not just those of us with “large” or natural hair. I have used the large sized ducky shower cap every day since last year, it is my favorite ever!
My name is Margie Cattouse, the owner of Celestial Comforter, LLC. My product is aptly named “Celestial Crowns Shower Caps”. I originally developed my “Shower Crowns” for an underserved, loced hair community, of which I am a proud card carrying member. I researched in stores and on-line sites for oversized shower caps and was thoroughly underwhelmed! What existed, lacked knowledge of, or an affinity for this particular community of potential customers…. quite simply lacked LOVE.
I decided to design a better mousetrap, making a shower cap that would be sturdier, more attractive and mindful of price. My Crowns come in 3 different sizes, XL, L, and Mini-Crowns. ~ Margie L. Cattouse, Owner, Celestial Comforter, LLCMyCelestialSouls.com
~~~~~~ Disclosure: These shower caps and satin bonnet were sent to me for free to review. The opinions are my own. I love them! LOVE THEM! For more information about the Glamazini.com disclosure policy, click here.

I did not like the smell or consistency of this product for my hair. I felt like it left an undesirable coating on my strands that never went away during the day. I actually watered it down during my trip and preferred the Nourish & Shine over this.

A small peak under my sink Listen, I only have 1 head of hair so why do I have so many blasted products to use on it? . 2012 is shaping up to be VERY different in MANY aspects of my life … and hair is definitely one of them. Last night I was rattling [...]
So I’m perusing the most recent edition of St. Louis Magazine, when I come across this advertisement for Bumble Bumble Concen-Straight apparently being offered by Ta-Da Salon in Chesterfield Missouri. I’ve never heard of the product or the salon, but the description on the website says “A gentle yet potent, single use straightener – plus heat [...]
I‘m catching up with posts and want to share the blowdried box braids that I’ve been rocking under my wig for the past month. These photos were taken on December 20th, right after I took the “wrapped braids” down from how they were pinned up under the wig, and right before I washed them to [...]
I have long hair. Always have (when I wanted to at least). Relaxed or natural, long hair has never been elusive to me. Due to that I often here from others the same phrase “I cannot WAIT until my hair gets that long!”. Here’s my question … What do people mean by that? What are [...]
Christmas has come early at my house. Recently I spent some time shopping at a department store (which I never do) because I got me a gift certificate and wanted to check it out. I hadn’t been inside a Sears store in years, so I went online to see what they had available and decided [...]
