saturday shennanigans

i had a BEYOND AWESOME saturday. i went to brooklyn to spend the day with my dad and it was just a humble and loving time. my dad and i have been estranged for a couple of months due to personal matters, but we've reconnected and yesterday i realized how much i missed him.

most of the time, we layed in bed and watched the cameroon vs. denmark game. world cup rules ALL right now, especially among haitians hahaa. we ate hunan shrimp (which was bombbbb) and chilled. of course i came home with an accompaniment of haitian patties and sweets, but that is my dad. happy father's day daddy, i love you.

then, later that night, my bosses daughter had her "sexy 17." most of the night i was helping out my boss, while the hs kiddies (haaa, im only 3 years older) were bent over and rubbin, dubbin, and lapdancin. but it seems like they had a good time, and the music was good, so it was a really cute night. it kinda allowed me to reminisce about the many bashments i went to when i was 16/17, great times ;]

im off to go eat some eats from the party last night, laterrr.

p.s. BRASIL is kickin cote d'ivoire ass right now, GOL!

concoctions!

last night i made the best smelling pomade ever! haha, okay, probably not the best ever made. but it did smell really good!! i was reading some blogs yesterday and found this really wonderful scalp treatment. i've suffered from severly dry scalp for several years, and although i have it under control now, it takes a lot of work to maintain.



this is my second time with senegalese twists (my transitioning protective style; about 35% natural now! haha) and i've been exercising regularly, so my hairline gends to get sweaty and my scalp loses moisture even quicker and get super dry.



i put my own spin on the treatment. i used organic, unrefined shea butter, warm olive oil, castor oil, lavender oil, and rosemary oil. omggg it smelled like heaven. you seriously only need 3 drops of the lavender oil and the whole area will smell like lavender! i put the treatment all over my head and left my hair in braids (then made a funky bantu-knot type thingy) and i can still smell the mixture. and my hair is not itchy or irritating, AT ALL.



so if there's any having scalp problems, definitely try this out. but be warned!! oils are not cheap and usually come in very small amounts, so be wise with your portions.



until next time.

sometimes,

i love the rain.

but only the light, quiet type. this afternoon i walked home from work and it began to drizzle. i was kind of happy, mainly because i was carrying my umbrella around since last week and finally had the chance to use it. most times, i hate the rain.

the whole winter was nothing but rain, snow, rain, snow, hail, clouds, rain, snow. everytime it rains, i get this frightened feeling that winter is coming back for round II. the winter rain was obnoxious, loud, and messy.

but this afternoon rain was suprisingly relaxing and i found myself smiling all the way home.
