Todays look of the day

Nothing special just a whimsical scarf all black top and pants with a now vintage jean jacket. I also have on cognac hued riding boots to spice it up a bit! Pretty neutral eye with a pop of green underneath and a glossy pink lip! Comfy cute is always in style!! :)

Big chop

This photo was taken shortly after my big chop(Aug 2011), so u can see the amount of hair growth!

Still Blessed....

I love the scripture about being blessed in the city and blessed in the field blessed in my coming and blessed in my going(Deut 28: 3-7) ...its how I feel daily. Despite some of the trials I've been through as of recent, I know that I am blessed and things are still working out for my good(Rom 8:28)!! God is just awesome like that!! :)

However lately I've been having a feeling of being sligtly overwhelmed just by my daily life. See Christal Lindsay is a wife, mother, daughter, a ministers wife, and ME...but I'm starting to feel that the ME part is getting lost. Now granted all these things make me who I am and I love each and every one, but I'm still Christal, I still love neo soul, I still want to make momma happy, I still want to live life and do the things I love. I use to love to listen to "Voyage to Atlantis" with my husband, that was our song before we were saved...now I love my life as a saved Christian don't get me wrong, but sometimes I like to revisit some of the memories that helped us fall in love. Those things are still apart of me....
As May 28th approaches and my 20's decade closes out, I still sometimes feel like that 17 year old...and what I mean by this is people put certain expectations on you and expect you to follow through at the every beck and call. But when do I get the right to say NO, without it meaning disrespect?? I've lost many a friend to this phenomenom, that's ok, but when it comes to family, I never want anyone especially my mother to feel disrespect, but again I'm almost 30, I think I have the right to say as I feel in an appropriate manner, and be respected for it. Right wrong?? Who knows....

But now that I'm off my soapbox.... still loving the natural life, I just hate having to twist my hair every night, bc I will not go out with matted down curls, no I won't do it LoL!!  The Kimmaytube hair mixer {2 Tbsp leave in cond, 2 Tbsp Aloe vera juice, 2 Tsp Jojoba oil, 2 Tsp Castor Oil} is working out fantastic and it's keeping my hair soft and moisturized from week to week in between washes ( I wash or co wash every week usually Saturday or Sunday) So here are some updated photos above, my hair has actually grown a substancial amount so I'm happy!! Til next time.... Peace Beauty and Blessings :)
