Hello everyone! I hope that all is doing well. I just want to say thank you to everyone one for taking out the time to read my blog, and watch my videos. That means to world to me. I really appreciate what you have done for me. So keep watching and reading there is still more to come. Have a good day! N'Gungun

It's one of the easiest styles to do and it's really cute. So enjoy and I will talk to you guys later! P.S. Send some more requests my way. If there is anything you would like to see let me know. :)

Hi guys how's it going? It's going okay in this neck of the woods! I have some more tutorials in my mind, but first I need to work out the kinks. So please bare with me. :) As for my hair right now it is in twists. I think it will be a good idea to make a tutorial on how to have a blown out Afro without a blow dryer. So stay tuned for that! In other randomness I start school again in the spring. I set out a semester because I just had a lot of things to take care of, but hopefully everything should be running full swing by the spring. Hope all is well with you and will talk to you later! Bye for Now N'gungun

Hello! Just thought I would post this tutorial on my blog. I would recommend doing this at least once a month. Also the smell can linger in your hair if you don't wash it out properly. So make sure you do that! :) Enjoy!

Hey There! How's it going? I decided to make this post about jeans. Do you find it diffcult to find the perfect pair of jeans for your body? I know I do! I have a hourglass figure so that means my hips are very wide, but not a whole lot of booty and I have a cinched in waist.! lol I found this picture that shows you the different shapes of women. The best thing to do to find out your body shape is to look at yourself in the mirror. I think it is so important because jeans can make or break your shape. You certainly don't want muffin top! :) There is a difference in being confident and looking a hot mess!

Hey Hey Hey, Here is my video on how to make a scarf. The Instructions: 1. Make chains until you have the desired length for the scarf. 2. Row 1: DC (Double Crochet) in the third chain from the hook, and in each chain after that until you come to the end of the row. Chain 3 3. Row 2: Turn you work and DC in each DC all the way to the end. (note; Only crochet in the third chain on the first row because that will create your first DC. In the rows following you will chain 3 and DC in the second DC.) 4. Row 3: You will continue to repeat row 2 until you get the desired width. 5. When you are finished, you will cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure it. Lastly sew in the end. Again I hope this helps. If you still don't understand how to make it just message me and I will help you. Enjoy!

Hey there! Thought I would make a post today. My youtube videos are still in the works so please be patient. As I said in my last video, if you have any questions or requests for a particular video please leave them in my message box on my youtube account. That is much easier for me than reading the comments on my videos and trying to remember. Also I have some hair recipes that I found that I want to try, and I will be making videos on that as well. All right you ladies and gents have a good day! Thanks again for the support and love that I get from you guys!

Ahhhhhhh, the black leather pump. I love shoes! I think more than any other type of wearable item I definitely have a love affair with heels. They are so sexy and they make your legs look longer, make you look taller, and they can make an outfit look very chic. For example, look at these beautiful wonders from Perla. Aren't they the most luscious things you have every seen! But at $525 a pop they will for a certainty break my pocketbook! It's nice to dream anyway. :) However if you can afford to shell out megabucks for these beauties than head over to Acne and order you a pair today. There is still hope for those of us who can't swing that kind of dough. Over at Shoe Explosion you will find some pumps from Chinese Laundry that are similar to the shoes from Perla, but at $49.99, they won't have you working extra hours on the job! Enjoy ladies and I hope you have a good day!

Hey everyone! How's it going? How was everyone's weekend. In my youtube video I said that I haven't been very inspired to post anything. Well that goes the same for my blog. However, since the making my video you guys have put some ideas into my head so hopefully soon there is another video or two in the works. I want to thank you guys again for being there and helping so that I can keep this going. Have a great day and always remember to smile! :)

I don't know if you guys are into anime or not but I really like it. Here is a makeup tutorial on how to get the anime look. It is done by a youtuber named Michelle Phan. You should also check out the rest of her videos. They are really nicely done and I love her tips! I think the video is so awesome! Enjoy!

Hey everybody How's it going? I was suppose to post this on Friday, but I am a super lazy person. So here they are now. :) These are pics of the braids after they had been taken down. It turned out the be a very lovely hair style that I wore over the weekend. Again sorry for the delay. Enjoy!        

Hey there everybody., I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a few days, but I have been really busy. I have a couple different posts that I want to do so hopefully by tomorrow I will have them posted. So please be patient. I will be back with you guys shortly. You guys have a great day! N'gungun

So this is what I had finally decided on. I really was going to try a braid-out but I woke up to late! LAME :)! I didn't take my braids down, but ended up wearing this hat because I couldn't find my black head wrap. So frustrating! Hopefully I will get up in enough time tomorrow to get myself together. Bye for Now

Here in my place of residence we are definitely feeling the bite of winter settling in. For the past few days it has been very cold in the morning only to warm up just a little in the afternoon. So this leads to our topic of discussion; shaving. I was thinking about this today at work. When it comes for shaving black women, from what I have observed and I'm not speaking for the majority, are less likely to put a razor to work. I definitely want to get some opinions on the subject. How do you ladies feel about shaving in general? Do you think it's not okay or is to shave in the winter? If you do shave, what have you found to work best for you? How important do you think it is for women to shave? I'm not posting a questionnaire, just some thoughts running through my mind. You don't have answer them per say, but I do want some feedback on the matter. So hit me up ladies and tell me what do you think.

Hi Guys, I put a question to it because I don't know for sure what I'm going to do. I took my hair down yesterday (didn't take pictures :(). It was in desperate need of a washing! I wore my hair into a pony puff today. I want to wear a braid-out, but this will be my first time doing it so I don't know how it will turn out. I will definitely try to get pics in the morning. So you might see it in a braid-out or a pony puff lol! So yeah...... Sidebar: I am totally feeling Beyonce's/Sasha Fierce's :) two new songs; If I Were a Boy and Single Ladies! What do you guys think?        

Hey there everybody, I would show you pics of my hair, but it's not really much to show. I'm on week three with my hair. However, I really think it's time I washed my hair because when I did the twists I have in now, I didn't wash my hair. I just wet it, put some conditioner/cocoanut oil in it, and then detangled. I didn't rinse the conditioner out but just put cholesterol deep treatment on it and sleep over night. When I woke the next morning, I rinsed that out. Then I took out the braids I had made and wore my hair out for a little then I two strand twisted. So yeah... that's about it. TTYL!

OMG you guys! I love my Costco brush set. All of the faces brushes are very soft and blend foundation, concealer, and powder beautifully! The set is only like 22 to 25 dollars which is an amazing bargain for what you get. The new set they have out has different handles (clear) and it also comes with an eyelash curler (mine didn't). I'm posting the link below. So if you are new to makeup or you don't want to spend an arm, leg or toe on makeup brushes then please pick up this set it is well worth the money! http://www.costcoconnection.com/connection/200607/?pg=81

Well you guys, I've decided that I need to close one of the many accounts that I have online! lol It's just way to much and for sure some of the sites I'm on are being neglected. So I will probably be closing my foki account. I don't check it that often and it seems I have more viewers on youtube. So yeah..... I will try to blog as much a possible and update you guys on hair happenings among other things. Check back often. Have a good day.

I went to the beach like a couple of Sundays ago. It was nice! Thought I would share some pics with guys.

Hey guys It's been a while hasn't it? Well anyway as some of you may know I decided to give locks a go, but to no avail. At least I have the pictures of my lock journey to always go by. Locks are a big commitment and I thought I was ready. I guess I wasn't! Here are some pictures of my baby locks that I had started. Enjoy!

I'm so excited to let everyone know that I have a new fotki site up until I can get my other one straigthened out. I just couldn't stay away. I miss you guys and I feel like I'm missing out on something with the new updates so add me as a friend and leave me a message so that I can add you! Thanks abunch guys for being so supportive. I Love You!

Just wanted to post some pictures for the month of April

Hey Everyone, For now on I will be posting my natural hair pictures on my blog so stop by every once in a while to check them out! :)

I'm so excited! I finally got a makeup tutorial I can post. :)

Here is a picture of me with and without makeup. Even though you can't really tell a difference, there is till a glow in the two top pictures. The two bottoms don't have a glow on the face. I just wanted to show this picture for you to see that you don't need a lot of makeup to be pretty. Sometime you just want that "awake" look.

OK So since I have been getting into makeup more these days. I decided to create some looks and here is one look that I really really like! Enjoy! Chocolates and Teddy Bears

I just thought this was a good guide to help you with eyeshadows and such. Enjoy! Chocolates and Teddy Bears click here

Ok, I know this is a totally weird post but I must address this. I must be out of the loop because from looking at this video on Youtube I really did not know that so many black guys were into skateboarding. Now trust me when I say this, I not the kind of person that will put certain races of people into genres, but I just find it quite intriguing to see a black dude skateboarding. Any skateboarders out there hit me up with a comment or something so I can know what's going on your world! :) Chocolates and Teddy Bears Butterfly P.S. Here is a video of what I'm talking about. Enjoy!

I've been thinking about posting makeup tutorials, but guess what? I don't have any makeup! So I'm trying to find out what I want to do. I'm just writing this basicly to fill up so space. Bye for now. Chocolates and Teddy Bears

I don't really know what this is going to be about, but I needed an outlet so I thought why not create a blog. I guess as I go along I will be able to figure out what to post about. So yeah, that's pretty much it. Chocolates and Teddy Bears
