I was blessed to spend this past weekend in Texas with my family. Their mere love lifts and encourages me so. We all had a great time at church followed by a fun photo shoot. Allow me to share my family - and check out how mom's locks have grown. I am so proud of her. You gone, gurl!!!!!
Mom, my sisters & me
My beautiful niece, my apprentice photographer and my road dawg! I'm slowly converting her to naturalness. She was my guest at Gigi's Customer Appreciation event on Saturday where she was introduced to every length, style, age and shade of Sisterlocks and sisters for that matter. Look forward to some great pics and a post highlighting this beautiful event full of Sisterlocked sisters and brothers.
Me & T (my little sis and my niece's mom)
I purchased my first hair ornament at Gigi's event on Saturday.

Me and my road dawg...
I have more posts coming your way soon and, of course, more Sisterlocks photos.
Those of you emailing and giving Blaq all that sisterly love, support and encouragement - I love you from the bottom of my heart.
I simply share Blaq - my peaks and valleys with Sisterlocks and life. Cause no matter how the outside looks, no matter how long you grow your locks - what's truly within will ultimately raise its head. If it's ugly on the inside - ugly gone come out. If it's hurtin' on the inside, here comes more hurt to the detriment of you and/or others because like attracts like.
We must ask ourselves, what was my lesson? Retain the lesson, because once you've been there, you never want to return. File it away in the "dat ain't never gone happen to me again" folder and bury that which is dead so that you can give life to a greater you.
I don't have all the answers. Hell sometimes on this journey, I don't even know the questions.

Each one

And, of course, Sisterlocks.
Until then,
Remain strong, remain focused and remain true to you.

Lovely Family
You and your mother's locks look goregous!
I'm amazed that you can still get curls from your Caruso's, I stopped using mine because I thought it was pointless. Maybe I need to give thema second try, if you don't mind me asking what do you do to help create those curls and how long do they last?
Take Care

Beautiful post. Love you gurl!
Blaq,
As always, your locks look beautiful. The longer they get, the better they look. I was pleased to see your sisters with you; T looks so wonderfully healthy and strong. Your niece looks sweet, you two look good together, I'm sure she must adore you!
I can't believe how much your mum's locks have grown!! They certainly don't look 16 months old!! I'm proud of her and the way she wears her natural hair. Well, as you say, "It's natural to be natural!"
I'm glad you are getting back to being your old self. You give so much to others, and I believe strongly that as you bless others, blessings come back to you.
Much Love!
Oh My!!! You look absolutely GORGEOUS girl!! I love your hair and your family is so adorable!!
I can't stop drooling over the photos. Your family is beautiful and your mum's sisterlocks are amazing. They really have grown.
And your orange dress is to die for.... Thanks for sharing as usual and for being such an inspiration
It's always a pleasure to read your blog!
The last picture of you is stunning! Everything looks beautiful; smile, dress, hair. God has truly blessed you and it shows simply and straightforward in that picture.
