Rip-Run

   I try to absorb every possible moment outside whenever the weather is warm.  So far, this autumn has been quite mild, and yet every morning that I wake up without a stuffy nose, or foregoing the obligatory flick of my space heater switch, I feel cautiously gleeful, as if I've been granted a transient gift that will attempt to escape my grasp at any moment. 

In other words, I'm totally dreading the winter. 

 Ughh!

Last year, I was able to elude imminent frigid weather by flitting off to Nigeria for a month, but I won't be as fortunate this year.  Boo.

Protective styling and profiling with Lauren

Also, in other news, one of my friends threatened to show me pepe the next time I make a blog post without any mention at all to makeup.  I dey fear serious beatdown, so I'm submitting a Face of the Day (FOTD) entry.  Finally.

I'd been promising to post more about makeup anyways, so what better time than the present to start?

I've been experimenting with stretching my hair in a heat free way through threading.  I posted a sneak peak on Instagram
 
so some of you guys might've already seen it.  The next styles I do will most likely be on ultra stretched out hair, and I'll also be sure to document the threading process.

Can't wait!
