"Hey lady. I hope you aren't giving up on the soft spikes. Too tight must be one of the top 2 commments I hear about soft spikes. Which is good if you want curls that will go the extra mile for several days."


(although I like the drama of the darker, top photo, the flash in the previous two allows you to see the changing texture of my locks after two months).

Thanks for all the love y'all. I did try the Carusos yesterday. It turned out real cute (I think), but the curls didn't last that long. Admittedly, I only left them in for 15 minutes, and when I took them out I stretched out on the bed to watch the US Open. The really great thing about the Caruso/ionic steam system is that those curlers make my thin/limp hair look like it has volume and body (kinda like a 'Jonathan-hair' look for my baby sisterlocks...well, at least it felt like that :-)

And NO, I will never give up on the soft spikes! No matter what, I think they are so cool looking and they curl superbly (I just have to better monitor how long I leave them in, and how many locks I put on each curler). The soft spike curls also last a good two days, and as they fall during the third and fourth day, you can still achieve a nice look.

I must mention that I also really liked the dress I wore to that wedding. I bought it many moons ago (and pre-motherhood) while on a trip to Spain, and wore it for the first time to a beautiful wedding in Tuscany.





Finally, someone asked me (in person) about my eyebrows. Apart from much needed grooming, I sometimes lighten the color of brows for some added interest. The change is quite subtle, but it really softens the overall 'look' of the eye.
