Update as of 1/1/2013

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday.  My family and I had a great time! Love spending time with family.

As promised, are pics of my SLs as of today. (I am also uploading some other pics I took but did not have time to upload.) I cannot believe that August was my last blog entry "and" I cannot believe that on 1/15/2013, my SLs will be 9 months old!!  Time is flying pass quickly!! And guess what:  I LOVE ALL 450 OF MY BABIES!!  It is so refreshing to get up and go.  I fall in love with my SLs each and every day.  People stop me just to talk about my SLs.  They are amazed and confused (because they think they are braids).  Last night, a lady asked me how long would it take to take them out?  I said these are permanent (at least for me) and I have no intention of taking them out!!  I began to tell her my SL story and she was in awe... :)  I tell people that if you can get through the installation, the rest is easy street!!  But you have to be mentally prepared to sit, and sit, and sit...

On 12/20/2012, I had a retightening, which took almost 4 hours (normally it takes about 3 hours).  I had ALOT of slippage because I started working out and apparently my babies do not like sweat! :)  My loctician suggested that I continue to work out but braid my hair and wear a shower cap in the shower.  You know, braid and band... I am going to have to make that work some kind of way in the gym!! LOL

I continue to take Biotin and Hair, Nails, and Skin, which you can get from Walmart or any vitamin store. 

My youngest got SLs on October 14, 2012 and it took 24 hours, with approx. 500 little babies.  She loves them and so do I!!  They look so good on her.  Hopefully, she'll let me take some pics and post! :)

Enjoy the pics.  I am now gearing up my SLs journey for 2013!!  Stay tuned!! :)
