Defiantly Some Heat Here

      Craft and I laid out by the pool last week. Needless, to say I invested in an Aloe Plant. I read you could drink the juice for some great benefits but I stuck with the more traditional methods. Once I got over the texture it worked like a charm! Don't bother with the bottle of green goo and just get the plant. I don't have much of a green thumb but will make the effort to get this one through the summer! Besides working fantastically on sunburn it also helps with cold sores and frostbite... neither of which I have to worry about but defiantly a plus! 

Join The Band Wagon!

      I have encouraged my sister to join me in a heatless summer. Together we are conditioning and working towards healthier, more to life hair. It sounds crazy but after years of the 300 degree flat iron style it's great to let it just be. It has been at least four years since I let my hair just be natural, I guess this is me embracing it? As for my sister she's been nearly 7 years(!!!) that's a lot of damage from heat! I had to dig all they way back to 1994 to find a picture with both our curls "free"

Look at all those curls! 

Ladies I encourage you to put down the heat tools down and pick up the conditioner! Let those curls go wild! 

A Heatless Summer

    I don't mean the temperature outside... I mean heated hair tools. This summer I am attempting to put away the blow dryer and step away from the flat iron. It may be ugly but in the beginning but this is my attempt for healthier hair. Conditioner will be in high demand along with every sort of curly hair creme and spray possible. I am putting down my paddle brush and letting the curls go wild... well kind of. (By no means do I plan on wearing a ball cap all summer.)

Nutty Neighbors

My neighbors are a little on the wild side. They often are outside doing not so typical things. Recently they had a guy on a bike pulling another guy on a skateboard. All seemed to be going well until he hit a speed bump. OUCH! They had a pair of downhill skis outside today, I can't even think of what they are using those for in the middle of June in Mississippi!  

For the record the "pond" doesn't have fish in it but they have fishing poles

This is typical after a late night...

Wedding Weekend!

Joe's Wedding was last Saturday! 

Needless to say it was a blast. His father was the best man and the bride was just gorgeous. The ceremony was so great. The groom is the closest thing I will have to a brother so I cried during almost the entire ceremony (sorry not sorry). The afternoon reception was fun. The DJ played awesome music we danced majority of the time! We had the after party at the hotel which was really close by. It was so nice to get us all together even if it was for just a weekend! 

Family Picture! 

The Groom and His Mother!

Please Donate

I do not know her personally or really at all but imagine everything you have learned from you mother. Now imagine life without her? For Grace and her brother that might be a reality. She did not ask me to do this but I feel compelled to share her story. Please donate or spread the word! Let's make Jen's last year one where she can spend time with her children and relieve some of her stress. Let's follow the golden rule- treat others the way we want to be treated.
