I know many of you have already seen this video however I just realized I didn't post it for my bloggies :0) Just in the off chance that anyone has any interest in how I do my loc maintenance aka re twist then here is a full blown tutorial! Enjoy!
Any questions, concerns, inquiries, feel free to leave them down below!
Since I am on "You Tube hiatus" I have been checking out some of my "vintage" videos and cracking up! I have had several "I canNOT believe I said that" moments that I am sure you all would enjoy! Also, I did quite a few get to know me type tags that you may have missed.
A guaranteed enjoyment situation! Ha!
Wow! I swear yall, I really do crack myself up. Luckily for me, I crack yall up too or else I would NOT be here. Thank you guys so much for accepting, loving and cracking up right along with me!!
If you have been under a rock, Oprah (the big O) has been holding a Life Class for about 2 weeks now on her OWN channel. It has been an enlightening, learning experience to say the least! If you are like me, wanting a better life and willing to do the work it takes to get one, this class is for you!!
This class is making me look at myself, my decisions and the situations and circumstances that I have allowed and/or drawn into my life in a totally different way. I am realizing that I have more power than I think I do, with courage and guts to boot!
When we realize that our Life is ours to live and living it for other people will get us NOWHERE, it is then that we truly begin to live!!
I made a video sharing my feelings and thoughts on the show, along with the revelations I received thus far, in hopes that it will inspire and encourage you to live, love and grow with me...and the millions of others that have been watching!
Now, keep in mind that this was just based on the first 2 or 3 episodes and as I write this, we are on day 2 of the 2nd week. My challenge now is continuing to be FREE, live FREE, forget the grudges that have binded me in shame for the past 10 years and take full control of my life, my destiny and dreams!
Clearing ALL negative energy away from my thoughts, my surroundings and my heart. This is the stage that I am at right now. I have always been what I refer to as a "em path" able to empathize with others feelings to the point of feeling their energy almost immediately. Now I am paying much more attention to the energy I am being given and using that as a guide to the people that I keep close. I truly believe that energy is passed constantly and I want to emit a constant flow of positivity to the Universe and to those around me.
I definitely recommend checking it out! Let me know if you do and your thoughts so far! Hugz!
I can feel all your side eyes as I begin to mention my bday! Lol! Yes, Oct. 20th was my bday and to celebrate I painted the wickedest set of Cartoon Character eyes known to man! Well, known to me. Ha!
It was super easy being that I followed along with a tut that I found on YouTube. Here is a close up of the look! Enjoy!
I LOVE IT!! Being that my bday is so close to Halloween, I usually dress up in some sort of fashion, so this year was no exception! For the record, YES, I left the house like this. You should have seen the looks I got! Okay!
So, here is my bday video that I shot to celebrate with all my subbies! Hey, better late than never, right!
I know, I know, I have been acting like I do not even have a blog, huh? Smh. Fine, I gets the side eye! Happy now? Lol. My bday has passed and everything. Thanks for all the bday wishes, I had a great time! I kept it rather lowkey, just me and the hubby. So, I guess I am officially 33 now, huh? lol
Anywho, the reason I jumped on here was to show you guys something and see what you feel about it. This is a style that someone recommended I add to my listing of men's styling. O.O
provided via google
Now, don't get me wrong, the style is beautiful and I definitely would rock it but errr, umm I don't know about my MAN rocking it. I mean, it seems like a girl style to me. I'm just saying. When I think of men styles I think of this....
provided via google
Okay! I would LOVE to convince Ray to let me style is waist length locs like this! Yeah right! He won't even wear a regular basket weave for more than 20 minutes. SIDE EYE TO HIM! Ugh!
This is what I think of when I look for styles for my male clients.
What do y'all think? Am I tripping? Am I behind the times and this is whats poppin now for males? Would you be cool with your man rocking that up do? WOULD HE?
“At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to. I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I started to slowly realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more. That was the first girl with any fame that paid me any mind. You spend days reading about this person in the magazines. All of a sudden you have this number-one song and you’re at some birthday party and there she is. And you’re just some naive kid from Toronto staying in some shitty-ass hotel who got invited to this party on a whim. That’s just how it happened.”-Drake
This, among other things, is what Aubrey "Drake" Graham told Elle magazine while there to promote his new album Take Care. My initial reaction..."Chile boo"!
Um, am I the only one that can't see our rude gyal Rihanna with a man named "Aubrey" O.O. I'm just saying, I just don't see screaming out "Aubrey" upon climax as sexy. Just me?
Also, apparently his song "fireworks" was about being her rebound lover O.O. Wow, men do this??
Have a listen and look out for "shade"
Drizzy, Rihanna just called. She says "she is NOT moved and you should be glad she let you sample her "oxtails", now go back to your groupies you been splicing". My sentiments exactly, Rih Rih!!
I had to come by and let you know that I have been featured on a blog! Yayyyyy!! ClapTrack!
I am so freaking excited. It is on my gurl Little Knottzz blog: http://littleknottzz.com/ and just in case you thought I was tripping, I'm on the front page!! *cheesin*
1st step, blog feature, next step THE WORLD!!
You might as well start feeling the Love Jahlicia fever cause it's a coming....
Thank you so much for the feature and being so pleasant and supportive, as well as ALL my lovers out there that ride with ya gurl! We are just starting so yawl can say "I was with her from the beginning.."
Ch...I have OFFICIALLY heard it all! Now, to know me is to KNOW I loves me some Rih Rih, okay! I don't care who calls her "Curry Goat" (side eye to Kid-Fury.com, which is fucking hilarious, btw) or fire crotch because of her once red coils, but she is my "friend in my head".
Now, I am hearing that while shooting the video for her new song "we found love" on a farm in Bangor, Ireland she was kicked off by the owner for wearing "skimpy clothing". O.O! Your kidding, right? I bet they kept that money though, huh. #side eye to the owner of the farm. I mean, who doesn't know Rihanna likes to be buck naked on broncos and shyt. Ch...boo! I expect to hear that my gurl got her money back.
Um, Rih Rih, we are island gurls, keep your ass in the warm climate where you can wear egg shells as nipple covers and ginger bush as panties, Okay!
Also, I heard she is now dating some Brit boxer named Dudley O'Shaunessey who she also picked to star in the WFL video. They were allegedly out on a date after the video shoot in which my gurl got so drunk, she had to be escorted to her car, where he was already waiting. Real Gentleman. Ch...boo I am not buying this story, he looks gay and not at all Rih Rih's type. I'm just saying.."you need more people".
Check out this pic and tell me what yawl think...
I heard someone yell "fruity pebbles" in the background, hahhhaha!!!
Now, I know that all everybody and their Mama has heard about the alleged Kimsha Artest facebook fiasco where she allegedly cussed out Shawnie for editing her out of the show. Don't front, we all have been wondering where she been, okay!
Well, Kimsha is saying now that is wasn't her on facebook, she doesn't even know Shawnie and Evelyn (ch...why she dragging Miss Puerto Rican heat into this is beyond me) and she has an idea who it was that started all of this.
Girl, we do too!! O.O Okay! Tell me what yawl think cause I think the show MAY have been better with Kimsha ON it because as of late, it is the "Hate on Draya Show". Somebody from the show PLEASE contact me to do an interview!! They got some "splaining" to do.
This is a video I posted this week showing how I get ready! Of course, it is sped up so jam along to the sweet sounds of Konshens and Taurus Riley while I get my makeup and hair on. Okay!
Also, since I am sure by now you have heard me mention I do NOT keep styles in my head more than maybe 2 hours (oh the horror of pins O.O) so this is what the braidout and I guess twistout is looking like now. Not bad considering I totally haven't tied it down in like 3 days :)
I was hesitant to process my hair because I was aware of the damage it would do to my scalp ( as reinforced by my dad -the nurse lol) so it took me a long time to take the plunge into the bucket of lye. Finally at age 18 I had my hair relaxed, but what followed was years of breakage, damage and frustration! I shaved my head 3 times, trying to go back natural! Natural was what I was meant to be; no stress, no burns, no frustration, just me! :)
LadyShyye says:
I went natural because I like long hair and I like the way "maintained" locs looked the best. The beautiful coils of softness. I wanted to retain all of the shedding hair and hated my hair being trimmed even the slightest when I had a perm. Haven't had a perm since 2002!
LucianKat says:
I went natural because ... Oh that's right, I have always been natural :D and I love my hair whoop whoop. Goooooooooo nappy!!
Divahotgyal says:
I went natural because I have sensitive scalp and would breakout whenever I relaxed my hair. Also all of my siblings are BOBO dreads. Loving my natural and locs!
DivaJennKen says:
I went natural because I hate that my head was burning. 8 years ago I went natural. I went with locs 9 months ago.
Butterflydoes says:
I am going natural because I am tired of the European black women look with weave!
Angela says:
I went natural because I was tired of maintaining a perm to keep it from falling out. My hair was thinning and breaking off on the ends. I went natural 2 yrs ago (my 4th time going natural). I loved how thick my natural hair was, compared to the permed hair. Natural just looked better on me. Now I've decided to loc my hair, something I wish I had done years ago. I let friends talk me out of doing it. To me locs are like forever braids you never have to pay to have redone. You can still rock all sorts of styles with them. Now that I'm older, I care less about what other people think of my hair texture! This is the way God made my hair, so I'm rockin' it to my grave!!
Sheri Wilson says:
After two unsuccessful attempts at going natural, I started my locs in November 2008. I finally internalized the fact that God did not make a mistake creating my kinky hair texture. My hair was fighting viciously against the chemical relaxers I was subjecting it to but as the years passed, my hair was getting thin and tired and would soon permanently lose the battle if I didn't stop destroying it. Wisest hair decision I ever made. Finally I love my hair and feel no insecurity about it whatsoever. Total acceptance. Exhale.

I went natural because...
I was sick and tired of being sick and tired with the condition of my over processed, damaged, broken off hair. Although I was tired with the way my hair looked, I was still scared to cut the relaxer out. Since I was not confident in how I would look with my hair in its natural state, it took me 2 years to actually do the “Big Chop”.
I had been wearing my hair in braids for about a year until I decided what I wanted to do next. In September 2001 I took down a set of braids. My hair was so damaged I cried...hard. Although I was upset, I could not bring myself to relax nor braid my hair again. My hair was begging for a serious break and so was my self esteem. I got myself together and headed to the barber shop and cut my hair....Just like that. When the barber was finished I could not believe my eyes. Although this was not the first time that I have cut my hair off, it was the first time that I didn’t relax, texturize or add some crazy color to my hair. It was just me...chemically free me as beautiful as I can be.
Tasha says:
I went natural because at the time, it felt like the BEST thing to do. In 2005, while my hair was permed, I was diagnosed with Alopecia and I was devastated. My hairline all around was gone and I could hardly comb my hair because it was shedding so much. After visiting the dermatologist and being treated, once my hair started to grow back I made the decision to get rid of the chemicals and constant processing. After a year of transitioning with braids, I became fully natural.
Now, I've been a 'loc head'. For 3 years and loving it. I was inspired by a friend of mine to go natural and loc up. She has locs and her hair is bee-u-ti-ful. She also opened my eyes to the fact that I was gorgeous with my natural hair and this helped me on my journey bolstering my confidence. Sometimes it does get frustrating, but every time I see her hair I get the motivation and the boost I need to keep on going!
Special thanks go out to ALL those that submitted their story to be highlighted! Chile, I know it has been a minute and I need to SattDown somewhere (yep, I get the side eye) but anywho, it is ready now and no less spectacular! Hugz to all that are patient and overstand what better late than never means :)
