It is called the magic dress for a reason. The magic with the Moroccan dress really never ends. The hidden pockets, the stash that you hardly see pictured offer countless other options to wear this dress. No matter what style you choose, you will feel comfortable wearing it.

The Maroon Pangi
I did a little research on the Maroon Pangi. I learned that the word ‘pangi’ means cloth and ‘Maroon’ is a group of Surinamese people who are descendants of escaped slaves. The word ‘maroon’ comes from the Spanish word cimarrón which can be translated as ‘runaway living on mountain top.’ I also watched Mireille’s YouTube video titled ‘Simple wrap with a Pangi, a traditional Maroon wrap.’ I enjoyed the video. My family is from Nigeria and we also use head wraps to keep cool in our hot, HOT weather!
Jamaican Mango & Lime Company Background
This company truly inspires me. Before the shoot, I watched a Jamaican Mango & Lime infomercial with company president Cyrus Jackson. His message is so captivating. I love that the company is committed to the Jamaican community. If we as a people are ever going to rebuild and revitalize our communities, we can’t keep relying on handouts. We have got to support ourselves. We need to invest in our communities. We need to build our OWN businesses and WE need to support these businesses. That’s what this company is about. Not only does Jamaican Mango and Lime support the Jamaican community, but the Jamaican community embraces and supports the product also. I really admire this company. I put my heart and soul into this shoot and I hope that it shows.
Intro
When we as women consider going natural, we often feel that we won’t be able to compete with the sleek, ‘it girl’ look. We believe that natural hair makes us ‘unpretty.’ I believe that one of the main reasons we don’t see natural hair as lovely and beautiful is because the media doesn’t portray it that way. However, I think that it’s incredibly important for us to remember that beauty is indeed an abstract quality. Beauty to one person is different to another. For me this competition—and this shoot especially—is an opportunity for me to show the world how beautiful natural hair really is. I absolutely loved this shoot. I feel that I accomplished my goal of illustrating how versatile natural hair really is.
ANNM Challenge 2, Bridal
I’ve always loved weddings and brides…the wedding cakes mostly! Hahah. No, but I have never really done much thinking about my own wedding and the styles I might wear, so I had to sit down and do some serious thinking.
I admit that I spend hours during the summer watching reruns of David Tutera’s “My Fair Wedding”, “Bridezillas”, “Say Yes to the Dress” and many other bridal shows on We-TV but I’ve barely given thought to think about my own wedding.

One major draw to Sisterlocks is the ability to create a huge range of natural hair styles. The micro-sized locs allow for intricate styling options. The precise parting grid allows a complete amateur stylist, like myself, to create awesome hair styles with ease. This month, I took Sisterlocks’ versatility to a new level. I created 1 hair style initially, which birthed 2 separate hair styles.

Kendra’s Question
I am taking the first step in going natural..but I’m not exactly sure what that first step should be? I haven’t gotten a perm in roughly a month and have been getting by with blowout…now I want to get away from Perms…but I don’t want to chop off all my hair at once…What type of transition
So I entered 2 contests! This is something that I don’t normally do because I always feel like there are so many other women who are prettier and thinner than me. I decided to enter the M∙A∙C Me Over! contest. I have the opportunity with win a trip to NY and to star in a worldwide MAC campaign! That is uber exciting!! I LOVE doing make-up and love MAC make-up! Make-up is a cool way for me to express myself! So yea…Just wanted to let you guys know. Although it may not be likely that I win, you never know! Here is the link to my entry if you wanna see it!

The second contest that I entered is America’s Next Natural Model! This is even more exciting to me because it has to do with one of my best assets…..MY HAIR!!!! I love my hair and so do my friends and I’m very versatile. I thought this might also be a great deal of fun if I am chosen. I usually very unlucky when it comes to winning stuff or even being chosen to possible win something, but for some reason my heart and brain were like, “Do it, do it..!” And my mouth was like, “Done and done!” And before I knew it, I’d emailed my application with photos to the website! I am anxious to see if I am chose to participate! It would be nice. So for the mean time I would like to share a link with you guys to my Hair Style album on Facebook. I try to update it with a new hairstyle ever so often. Tell me what you think!
