All About My Hair

Lets just get this out there....YES I wear weave and YES I love it!
I think its safe to say I am almost addicted to it because I have been wearing extensions/weaves probably since my junior year in high school and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. 


But first, before I get to the weave, I wanna say underneath this weave is my real hair and its actually pretty healthy (I will show a picture of my real hair the next time I go get my hair done) Its grown so much over the years and its a little past my shoulders now. Really thick, but I am aiming for more thickness. I do get my hair relaxed as well, which just means that I get a chemical put in my hair to make it straight for about six weeks. 

For those of you that are not too familiar with African American hair I suggest you watch the movie Good Hair by Chris Rock. I made my best friend Allie watch it with me a long time ago and literally all her questions have been answered...or so I think. (Hey Allie!)

As far as my weave, I am currently wearing hair from Sheena's Hair Emporium. I love long hair so I chose the longer lengths in the Indian body wave texture. Let me tell you, this hair is the bomb. I've only had it in for almost three weeks, but this hair holds a curl so well! I'm talking days, and even after I workout, the curls are still there!

Most hair that I order is more on the pricey side but they last the longest, so I think its worth it. Completely different from wearing hair from a beauty supply store, and trust me I know, because that was all I could afford in high school.

So if any of my ladies out there have been thinking about tying out weave or even just extensions I totally suggest you do! (yes there is a difference)
 It gives you a break from your natural hair and lets it rest without you putting all that heat and product on it everyday. 
By the way, your real hair gets braided up and braids=hair growth. Which is always a plus!  

Can I also just mention, weave is not only for black girls, I have seen white girls rock weaves too and make them look beautiful!

Dont forget to check out Sheena's Hair Emporium and follow them on Instagram too!

I will do a hair care blog post soon so you all can see what I do to keep it healthy on the daily.

Fall Fashion

 Its starting to get a lot colder where I live now (Texas) so I think this is the perfect time for me to share some of my favorite fall clothes that I have in my closet. In the fall, my outfits consist of leggings, boots, and scarfs most of the time because its obviously the best way to stay warm and still look cute!

So my first is an essential, and that's an over-sized sweater. Every girl needs one of these that you can just throw on with some leggings and BAM! Your're ready to take on the cold! Mine is from H&M and this mustard color is perfect for fall.






Next is my favorite jacket right now and have been in love with since I got it last fall. Depending on how cold it gets in your city you might not wear something like this but I do and I would wear it everyday if i could. I believe I got it from Forever 21 but I have been seeing these style jackets everywhere.

Of course every girl has their favorite pair of boots they love and mine happened to be a Christmas present from my mom last year. (hi mommy) They match with anything I wear this time of the year and I can tell they are going to be long lasting which is always a plus.


And last, you all could probably guess I was going to mention this scarf because I mentioned it in my fall favorites blog post so yes, my leopard scarf is a must for the fall. I literally wear this scarf at least once a week and that's only because I don't want people to think I'm crazy for wearing it everyday, because trust me, I would.



Now I wanna know what you guys enjoy wearing in the colder months!
