A Night To Remember

Towson Nights

         Friday night was definitely one of the best nights I've EVER had in Maryland. This night I really felt like myself and actually had a great time. My guard was down and all. My friends witnessed the real Kyra! That whole day I did not do anything besides clean the house and work on my routine for a talent hunt. I usually get dressed at my house but I got dressed at my friend Cierra's this time. I tried to rush to get dressed because I normally take hours lol I did not want to be the last one done. 

    This was my first time wearing makeup this whole week. I have been avoiding wearing any product besides eyeliner because I broke out badly on my forehead :( With every outfit I wore that week I added a funky headband to cover the acne. 

               I was feeling my outfit that night! I had on my favorite shirt from F21. I purchased this at the beginning of the school year when they had the back to school sale. Because it had been snowing so much lately, I was afraid that I was going to freeze to death wearing this shirt but thank god I did not. The jeans I have on from H&M. They are regular jean material at the top but have a leather material attached at the bottom. I also purchased those during the back to school sale. And of course I have on my favorite boot/heels from H&M.

          The earrings and necklace I had on are both from Charlotte Russe. This bracelet I have on is my mother's (I always take her jewelry). I'm not sure where she purchased this from but I adore this bracelet. It gave my outfit PIZAZZ!

There was some other girls in the bathroom taking "off guard pictures" but my friend Taylor and I :)

           Once we arrived back in Riverside, we stopped at the Waffle House to get something to eat. My friend Pam works there and she always decorates the waffles nice with whip cream! I was craving her waffles but unfortunately she was not working at this hour :(

      I asked my waitress could she add whip cream thinking she would decorate it like Pam but she did not. I was some what disappointed but the waffles were still delicious so I guess that's all that matters.

Time for Something New

 This past week has been quiet an interesting one. Saturday morning I was supposed to get the faux dreads put in my hair but I decided not to. That whole week I was contemplating on whether I should get them done or not. While my mother and I were driving to Harford Mall to return a gift she mentioned, "Kyra, why don't you just cut your hair like you said you would?" I had been going on and on about how I hated my hair and could not wait to cut it. Believe me, I was not scared to cut my hair at all, I had done it a year ago when I did my big chop. I took a moment to form a final decision as to what I wished to do with my hair. After a few measly minutes riding around Bel Air in the rainy weather I came to a conclusion,I was going to cut my hair. 

Before dying my hair black I had almost every color you could think of in my hair, besides lemon head yellow or cotton candy pink of course. I wanted something new and fresh. My mother and I made our way down to a near by Sally's and I went on a hair product rage. I spent $60 worth of hair products which included: Miss Jesses Jelly Soft Curls, Eco Styler Gel, two Manic Panic hair dyes, and two boxes of color zap. It truly hurt my heart and soul to spend that much at the beauty store.

My mother truly slayed my hair, I love it! This an inspired twa style. I've watched several natural ladies on youtube with this style and I just decided to try it. This new look is more ME, I feel more comfortable and free. When I had the big natural I felt like I was only growing it out just because everyone else admired my hair growth. No, I don't regret my decision on cutting my hair at all. So far I have received several compliments and I've received some ignorant ones as well but I could honestly care less about what they have to say or think about my new style. They're not the ones with it, I AM. If they don't like it then maybe they should grow out their own hair :) My intention is not to sound hostile but it starts to get old when people always think it's necessary to question everything I do.

2 Hour Delay Love

One of my favorite Christmas gifts was from my boyfriend Junior. He gave me a heart necklace that reads, "Solo tu y yo unidos por siempre" which means only me and you together forever. Even though we didn't spend Christmas together we celebrated when he arrived here. I'm so happy that me and him kept in contact this many years! I was so grateful that we were able to bring the New Year in together, it was truly a great feeling having him by my side.

Okay, besides that I am so grateful for the two hour delays that we've been having! I prayed millions of times that we would come to school later in the day and we did. Thank you lord. Recently, I finally  changed my cartilage earring. I was so afraid to take it out because I thought it would close up but it didn't. I feel that the gold wing from F21 looks much better than the simple stud. Since I was wearing pastel/nude colors I decided to wear simple pearl earrings.

I haven't had any time to style my hair so it's been in my signature style, the "puff". Next week or sometime this weekend I'll probably do a twist out. I really want to get my braids back but we'll see what happens with that!

Just my usual hand candy :) I added some mid rings today which I purchased from F21.

A view of my outfit from the bottom.

I rolled up my jeans a little because the little flare at the bottom did not look right with the booties.

Junior also bought these beauties for me for Christmas!

Here's a view of my whole outfit. I felt so girly today, not that I don't feel that way everyday but today was on a whole different level.
