#180: I'm a Foodie

During this my deleting spree, I came across some pictures on my phone that were of some amazing delicious foods. Anyone that knows me personally knows that I love food, and I definitely do not discriminate when it comes to trying new things and enjoying a scrumptous healthy meal or snack of some sort. Here are some of the deliciousness I've eaten over the past months and I recommend you all to try them! Let me know if you've got questions. Feed your eyes!

#179: Happy Hair (2)

Hello everyone,
I'm back again with more hair pictures. As usual, I'm uploading them because I've once again ran out of picture space on my phone; picture taking of me and other things are my mini-obsessions, I'm unapologetic about it. Yes, I could delete them and move on, but I've decided to upload these pictures for memories and to see my hair journey in images. Also, I've been having some difficulties finding a variety of hairstyles for short natural hair online; I feel that if there are others out there feeling the same way, they could copy some of these styles, if they fancy them. Uploading these images is basically going to help me and others, hopefully. Enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions. 

P.S.: I've been in love with my natural hair so much lately, and I love it!

#176: I play with my hair when bored

So, I realized today that my phone has reached its maximum storage for pictures. Therefore, I have to delete the hundreds of pictures I have saved on it. This is a very tough decision for me. So one way I've chosen to preserve the pictures is by uploading pictures of the hairstyle I've had in 2012 so far, and delete them off my phone. All these hairstyles (in chronological order) were done by me! Enjoy!

#174: Natural Hair is a sport?

I came across this video on one of my favorite blogs, Onyx Rose Online, and the comparison with sports/athletism was quite interesting. Check it out!
