It’s been a while, a looong while. So much has been happening over the past few months. I’m not sure if I’ll do a huge review post, but while I have the time, I did want to show off my latest hair style. Two weeks ago I shelled out $255, yes $255 for my last retight and had wrap-a-loc done on my sisterlocs. Why was it so much $$$$? Well, I have missed 2 retights, so they charged me double the usual amount for that = $170 + $10 (wash) + $75 (wrap-a-loc). To tell you that I walked out of there pissed off was an understatement. My hair was NOT all of that and to top it off the curls did not even last. I am beyond over going to my consultant for these retights spending all that money. I am determined to take the retight class and do this ish on my own starting in January. Anywho, since I love wearing my hair curly, I went on a net surfing rampage to find a DIY method. I like the look Bantu Knots give, but they don’t always turn out like I want. To make a long story short, I found out that many women with locs set them using pipe cleaners. Upon closer inspection, the pipe cleaners look VERY similar to the wrap-a-loc tools. The nerve some people have to “develop” something “new” and sell it for bookoo money! I purchased 100 black pipe cleaners from Michaels for $4.00 vs paying probably $80 or more for enough wrap-a-loc tools. Oh, and the $75 I paid my consultant did not come with the tools; they removed them prior to letting me leave of course. So, I washed my hair and rinsed it with Apple Cider Vinegar (I’ll do a post on that later). I set my hair with Lottabody and got to work. I did not sit under the drier because I did not plan to remove the tools right away. The great thing about this method is that while you’re waiting for your curls to set, you have a hairstyle within itself. It turned out way cute and I even went out on the town lastnight just like this. Here’s how it turned out!

Hey readers! I would like to announce that at this very moment I am blogging from my new PC. It feels so great to finally have a computer that fits my needs! A lot has been going on, so I thought I’d write a post to summarize everything:

I had my 10th retight done yesterday. The next time I get my hair done, I’m going to have to travel 2 hours to get there (due to my upcoming move). For all of you constantly searching for Johadeni Nappi’s website, it is still under construction. As promised, I will continue to post their contact information (Address: 1638 9th St N, St Petersburg, FL 33704, Phone: (727) 823-9899).

• Over the weekend, I travelled to Gainesville, FL (where I’ll be moving to) for the 3rd time searching for an apartment. Thankfully, this time was successful and I’ve located my future place of residence! Next step is coordinating the actual move for the first week of August.

• Today is the first day of my last week at my current job and I am so ready to move on. An interesting situation has been brewing and let’s just say that I need to get my software copyrighted ASAP!

• I have more potential customers who are interested in my product. That means that I’m going to have to work at superspeed to get my business site, paperwork, pricing, etc. up and running. It’s going to be a LOT of work but I’m looking forward to it.

• I am going home to Miami, FL this upcoming weekend to drop off my puppy Chino (I’m not taking him with me when I move). Sure I’ll be sad but I think that’s the best I can do for him right now. When I move to Gainesville, I need to focus on getting situated with everything. Besides, my parents love him and they have a huge yard for him to run around in.

I think that’s about it. I’m trying to be quick because I do need to go off to work soon. TTYL!

Lesson Learned: Patience is a virtue.
