World Natural Hair Show...The Video Chronicles

Hey THoM family!!

I came...I saw...I bought a TON of stuff!! The World Natural Hair Show was everything I hoped it would be and then some!  I mean...WOW!! I'm not sure of the official numbers yet, but let's see...it took close to 30 MINUTES to park, well over AN HOUR to maneuver through the winding line inside the convention center (that's even after we bought bands before getting to the ticket booth....yea I know, I messed up by not buying the tickets online :/) but then once we actually got inside...AAAAHHHHH!!!!

Yea, so this is my first of a few posts of my 2012 Hair Adventures at the World Natural Hair Show.  If you didn't make it yesterday you still have time today, it's at the Georgia International Convention Center and it's going hard from 10a-7p tonight.  I bought WAY too much stuff and spent WAY too much money to attempt a repeat appearance, but let me know if you head out there ;)

What's Goin' On?!?!

Nothing like and ode to the GREAT Marvin Gaye to start your day :)

I'm excited for this weekend...why, you may ask?

Well I'm heading to Atlanta tomorrow for my very 1st World Natural Hair Show!!  I repeat, I'll be in Atlanta for the WORLD NATURAL HAIR SHOW!!

I'm beyond excited, it's going to be GREAT!  Now just to decide how I want to do my hair...it's kinda been low-key for me lately, but I think I might jazz it up a bit!

I've been experimenting more with lipsticks/glosses/liners/cremes and nail polish....I'm officially a nail polish junkie!  I can't wait to post pics for you of my stash, it's been evolving over the past year and I'm having fun playing (and acquiring) new colors :)

I'm also an AUNTIE!! Just call me TiTi Lisa lol...she's gorgeous too!

I know this seems brief, but I should have more time to make a real post once I make it to Atlanta so stay tuned for all the good stuff from the WNHS.
