I know have been MIA for more than a minute. I've been juggling so many things poor FP101 fell to the side.

December 23, 2009 marked 8 years that I cut off my relaxer and decided to take a walk on the nappy side. Best decision I ever made. Check out this post for my hair story. I blew my hair out to prep it for New Year's Eve. Here's how I wore my hair to run some errands. A really simple style, 2 braids and a bun.

I hope everyone had a fabulous and wonderful New Year's! This look is basically a recreation of a look I wore to a wedding last year except I was using Ulta Minerals. I wasn't all that thrilled with the Ulta Minerals so I did a lot of layering of similar colors since we were running late and I did not feel like washing my face and starting over. Hence the 1000 many shadows. <!-- /* Font
