It's a New Season!

Hello one and all! Well, it is a new year and we have begun some new things in our lives.

Over the past half year we have had an interesting turn of events in our family, and now find ourselves back in the U.S. while my husband pursues ordination in Christian ministry. We're excited about this new development, but it has brought with it some major changes. I now have access to tons of hair products (which is awesome) but I'm no longer in my beloved Jerusalem (which is not so awesome). However, I know that this will be a good season full of new adventures, and I'm looking forward to what God has for us during this time.

Now, on to hair! We have just passed the Easter season, and I decided to try out a Twist and Curl again (remember the last time I rocked this style in Croatia?) Well, a couple of months ago I trimmed my hair to the tune of two inches, and let's just say that the Twist and Curl looks different when you have two inches less hair, lol. I worked with it, though, and got a bit of length out of it.



Now don't get me wrong, I still loved it, I just had to get used to it. I rocked it for a week, and the following weekend I decided it was time to separate the sections and re-twist it for a new protective style to wear during the upcoming week. However, that was not to be. I came across this fabulousness as I started working on my hair:



I know, amazing, right?! So I quickly decided that this would be the hair of choice for church the following day. That night I twisted it into four super chunky twists and tied it up with a scarf then went to bed. The next morning I rocked it with some cute makeup and jewelry:



I love the stretch that the chunky twists achieved, and I was proud of this look. I realize that I definitely like my hair big and juicy, lol.

Alas, it is now twisted up into a protective style (simple two strand twists) which I will rock for the next week or two. I'm good at jazzing them up, so look forward to a pic or two of this week's cute protective style in my next post. Until then, Shalom, y'all!

Blessings,

  3. Hello,

    Beautiful hair. Just saw a video that said you guys were moving to Austin. Is that still your plan? I live in Sweden with my husband and two kids, but am thinking about relocating to Austin. I am originally from Dallas. I am curious what it is like to live in Austin as an interracial family.
