Birthday, Engagements and Triathlons ALL With a SMILE!

What can I say?! Well first of all, I am sooo very happy that my sisterlocks turned 2 on July 21st! Yay! It seems like they have just taken off and I let them do what they want.... I notice that they are not as dry when I drink a ton of water and keep them conditioned. My locks get a little dry when I am out in the sun riding my bike for hours or run/walking for hours. So the water and the conditioner does great. Still doing the apple cider vinegar rinses with each wash. In my experience you can never stray too far away from the ACV rinses. They are awesome!

I am also back to doing triathlons. I have completed 3 races so far this year. It's been tough but I am doing sticking with it. It's weird but it's like I am having to convince myself that my knees are okay. I have an excellent coach and a great team. Also another sisterlocked blogger (sandzoftime - Mental Running) keeps me motivated to give it my best at all times!

So I have covered the birthday... I have covered the triathlons...
Let me tell you the good news! I am engaged!!!! My Sweetie Pie proposed to me on June 19th and I said YES! So now I am getting ready to be a married woman! I am so excited about this. God is sooooo Good! I am looking forward to spending many blessed, happy, and healthy years with my "Sweetie Pie"!

19 Months Sisterlocked

I am loving my locks more and more everyday. Made some changes. I wash my hair with diluted Nature's Gate Aloe or Nature's Gate Herbal shampoo. I use the corresponding conditioner once a week and then do an apple cider vinegar rinse after every wash. I shampoo my hair a lot because I swim at least twice a week. I am in the process of training for my 5th triathlon. So swimming will be a consistent routine for me for a while. :-) When I run or bike outside in the cold I make a point to cover my locs with a cap. I do not use a lot of oils to moisturize. I occasionally will spritz with water if needed. Most of the time I rock a freestyle look since I am swimming so much these days.

When I get a break I will curl my locks with Caruso curlers. I have not had much energy to use my Soft Spikes lately because by the end of the day I just wanna put my Dreadsock on and sleep! :-)

I have been eating different for about a month now and I have noticed some changes. I used to battle dandruff really bad around my edges but now that is gone due to a daily dose of ground flaxseed and Omega 3,6,9. I also take a multivitamin and drink LOTS of water. So far I have noticed positive changes with my health as well as my sisterlocks as a result of this. I have even lost 7lbs so far!!!

It is true... Healing begins from the inside out!
