My Attempt at a basket Up Do- Yikes!!!!

The Lupie Chick




I’m determined to learn how to “style” my loc’s. I’m getting bored with the “same ole same ole” look of rocking a pony tail from day to day. I’m not ready to folk over mad cash to go to a stylist for an up do-so Ive been stalking You Tube for the past 2 weeks. Let me tell ya-them chicas are bad (Fauren, Golden Goddess,Chelsea locs, and DC Church Girl- are my favorites- they demonstrate REALLY slow for us challenged individuals)- LOVE IT! They make trying new styles seem easy, quick, and effortless. This is my latest attempt at a basket up do- I did it 5 times Sunday night- and this is the best out of 5 attempts.. I didn’t like it too much- but my arms were so sore I didnt have the energy to do something else. I created this style using, Lemongrass Spritz (Distilled water, EVOO, Lemongrass EO), jumbo hair pins and two-strand twist on one side. Take a look..Leave a comment *Be Nice* lol..lol..

BTW: I’m on a NO TWISTING DIET- its killing me softly..I was twisting way too much, and I was too obsessed with the “neat-freshly-twisted look”. I’m learning to let them do what they do, and appreciate the look and texture of my loc’s. ** cheering to my inner self- you can do this.. you can do it**

I’m a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a poet, a philanthropist, a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, member of Order of The Eastern Star, and I have Lupus. I was diagnosed with Lupus in July 2011, after many years of unexplained illnesses, surgeries, and hospital stays. My Lupus was discovered after a year struggle with a rash on my face that was spreading to my neck and chest. I had begun to also suffer from migraines, fatigue, joint pain (in my ankles and wrist), shortness of breath, and excessive sweating. I knew nothing about Lupus except it was a disease that Toni Braxton suffered from. I initially thought there was a magical pill I could take to get rid of it. I was informed that Lupus has no cure; it’s a disease I will live with for the rest of my life until a cure is discovered. I have dedicated the rest of my life to be a face-IN YOUR FACE- activist for a cure- I'm not hiding it-I'm FIGHTING it!
