Thanks Trisha and Angelspun . I feel like  longlocks is my extended family. 


        Hair news-Hair got two compliments.   One from my neice who said "wow your hair got long" and one from my sister in law who said "nice hair". So Thankgod for my hair. even though it is thin. its long and thin.  I wish it were thicker.  My hair routine is cool rinse with Aussie conditioner. Then, lightly towel dry, and put a dab of Pantene Pro-V anti frizz creme for curls. It says softens curls and smoothes frizz. Next, i use  SoftSheen Optimum OIL Therapy for a shine booster. I twist my hair and use a claw to keep in place. I use my detangler comb and Longhairlovers  brush for the front.  I love longlocks and being a long hair diva. I wish i had more time to comment on longhair ladies journals, but at least i have time to type in my journal.

dear journal,


     there is a yearning desire for me to straighten my hair.  i don't know why.  i feel like having silky smooth hair. My hair is curly and its been a frizz ball. yesterday i had it down when my neighbor came over with her two kids. we had like a mini playgroup for our children.   

  anyways i have been writing poetry for a magazine called 'Spirit Magazine, A magazine designed for the diverse woman'.  It is high quality and inexpensive. it is $20 for the year at amazon.com.   I personally love it. It has lifted my spirits and healed my soul.  In the upcoming issue i have some poetry listed. If you would like to order it or learn more about it you can google  it. i like it because you don't have to be a size 0 to read it, and it spiritually stimulates your mind. I have been writing for the past year and it is a good outlet for moi. 

     the weather has been gorgeous here 75 this week. its incredible in Chicago.  Its made everyone happy.

Yay! We have a new president. this is so exciting and history has been made. Go Barack Obama!!! We voted for him.

Thank you ladies! You longlockers are always here for me and that means a lot to me.   

  hair is down now pulled back down on the side of my shoulder and of coarse curly.   I'm so thankful to be apart of longlocks. The people on here are so down to earth.  Growing my hair long has been a fun hobby and has made me a happier person.  It is like a secret society of longhairlovers. hehehe    well we are off to give the kids a trim. Only a trim.  I will be there watching them!   Then we might go to a restaurant. I dont know which one we will let our palates decide.

Dear Journal,

  My 5 year old got a hold of the kids scizzors and snipped one of Julia's blond ringlets off.  ARGG. I was so upset, because I am trying to grow Julia's hair long although she is only 2.5 years old.  Her hair is so frizzy, I can't wait until it gets longer so i can braid it, and it will be less frizzy. I already have a plan. I will braid it the night before school, then in the morning i will let it down for her. Frizz free curls. I hope so.  We will have to wait and see.  Thankfully i learned so much at longlocks that will last me a lifetime.   My hair is down curly with a scrunchie in it.  I did the usual routine, but i used head and shoulders shampoo because it balances the ph on your hair and i used a conditioner for long hairs. Its a red bottle but i forgot what its called and i dont feel like going upstairs to get it. sowwy. I did a lot of shopping today for the hollidays and im pleased with myself!   I know i have more to do.
