Love & Hate

Love & Hate…  Ihad a very eventful morning today.  Icame into contact with two strangers – one that that expressed hate and onethat expressed love. 

Hate Filled Rage:

While I was driving to work, a man was crossing the streetgoing in the same direction that I was driving. I stopped at the stop sign andwatched as the man and his daughter crossed the street going in my samedirection. Suddenly, with out even looking to see of any cars were coming, hestop midway in the street and tried to cross right in front of my moving car.Thankfully I was not driving too fast and was able to slow down to stop as heand his daughter crossed the street. Instead of looking my way and saying thank you (because obviously, youdo not stop in the middle of the street and try to cross into  oncoming traffic) he looked at me with completehate and started to yell out at me “You Ignorant  #%R*&!”  Thankfully I did not hear the end of that statement, because I rolled upmy care window. But by the look of pure hate on his face, he was probably goingtop call me a  B*tch or a N*gger (he wasnot of the same race).  I usually don’tassume such things, but he had pure hate in his eyes, which was completely irrationallybecause he was in the wrong. My first thought as I drove away, is that they guywas probably already angry about something else and maybe even racist (whoknows…). And most importantly, how could he put his child in danger by crossinginto incoming traffic with out evening looking to see if any cars were comingtheir way. The whole thing completely threw me off guard. And my beautifulmorning, at that moment was ruined by this person irrational hateful reaction towardsme.

Unbiased Love:

After parking my car, I started to work towards the buildingI worked at.  A gentleman came to a stopas he saw me and a few ladies on another street walking by. He asked in a verygenuine tone – “How can it be, that all the women in this city are so verybeautiful?”   I instantly blushed andsaid I did not know and thank him for the kind compliment.  He then said with this beautiful smile andglow on his face “You are welcome beautiful lady.” It warmed my heart thatsomeone would stop their day to give such a beautiful message. And he had sucha look of piece and joy in his face that I knew he was a coming from a goodplace in his heart when he spoke to me.

Two completely different experiences, from two completestrangers. Both of a different culture and age groups. One filled with irrationalhate and one filled with genuine love for others.

Great Humor - Natural Hair Problems

I am absolutely loving this new tumblr blog that I found online last week called Natural Hair Problems. There are so many statements that are dead on and just plan funny.  Loving the wit and the blogs author to allow us to all relate to some of the funny and not so funny issues that we may run into while being Natural!  :-)

Get your Natural Swagg on!

LOL....  Loving this photo from LADI SWAGG!

Very funny video! A must watch... :-)

Totally off topic. But too funny! Watch and share...  ~ Karen

To share this video, check it out on Youtube.

Just for Fun!! And out of pure Curiosity....

Ok... so every now and then, I will see someone with an interesting hairstyle, and wonder what I would look like with that look. I would never ever want to cut my loc's, so my curiosity goes unanswered. Essence Magazine has a cool online tool that you can use to try out new hair styles.

The only disadvantage to this application is that none of the styles feature natural hair textures!! 

So no luck with my trying on a beautiful afro, shorter loc's, TWA or even a clean shaven beautiful bald head. O well... Maybe I will write to Essence and ask then to broaden their selection. Any how for now, I took a few minutes to goof off, and this is what I came up with:

Shockenly enough, I actually love the short Halle Berry type hair cuts more than any of the others!!  I could never picture myself with short hair... because I have such a big head! But I am kinda liking it.  LOL... but who am I kidding!  Nothing beats my Naturally Beautiful Hair!  I will be Loc'd for LIfe!!!

3 year old's sew-in weave!! :-(

 Absolutely Crazy! Never, can I see, how someone can justify giving a 3 year old child a sew-in weave. It is not that serious!!  The mother in the video is getting her daughter ready for a pagent. She states that they usually use clip in hair pieces but she decide to do a weave on her child's head this time. I am sure the little girl would have been even more beautiful if the mom had taking time time to create a style with her daughters own natural hair and texture. Wow....

Seen on Beads, Breads & Beyond

Just for fun!

Wouldn't it be cool to have a drivers license picture that doesn't look like a mug shot?

Make your license Fabulous drivers license, that you wish you always had, here. If you can, share a link of the picture you made by adding a picture link in the comment section of this post. Have a great weekend everyone. ~ Karen

I am speechless...

I just saw this photo on loctician Theirry Baptiste's, facebook page. I think Theirry was just as shock as I was, to see this photo. The site Baby Bangs sells wigs (aka - hair replacement pieces) for baby's with little, to no hair.

It first I thought it was a joke. But no, it's for real. It's kind of sad that it's really starting at such a young age. That folks are willing to buy wigs for their little babies. Absolutely crazy. I have a feeling that this is geared towards pagent Moms. But I think this is going to far. I am in no way judging adults that wear wigs. Every one is beautiful as their are. If that is what you need to feel beautiful (whether it be something you enjoy or because of illness), then wonderful. But a baby has no way of saying no... Come on now!
