Custom Stiletto Nails by Spifster

Thursday, May 31, 2012 - Posted by lindsey adams at 5:50 PM

Finally I have my Dream Nails done by Tacarra Sutton AKA Spifster

I Love the New Stiletto Shape meaning Pointy like a heal... They accentuate my style!

I got a Full Set and Sort Spif which mean 3-4 different designs per hand. You can book an appointment with Spifster on StyleSeat This definitely is a specialty services doubling my normal nail budget from $16.00 to $45.00 each appointment. But I will more than likely stay with her through the summer. She does have some cheaper and More expensive rates depending on what you want.

These are my Nails Freshly Done after the Appointment

My Nails 7 Days Later ....close up shots of the designs

Unfortunately I suffered Lifted acrylic which then popped off the entire Nails after only 3 days. But Spifster Quickly respond to my email and fixed the nail for Free after I explained that it didn't break but was not bonded down to the nail bed. So I will see how long they last throughout the 2nd week and decided about my next appointment

Friday, March 9, 2012 - Posted by lindsey adams at 9:45 PM

Hey Everyone

I decided that after 8 months that I would start sharing my weight loss journey. Weight is a Sensitive subject for me, but I know that it is only God's Grace and help from my Family & Friends that got me here and I want to be a light to others who deal with obesity and self image issues.

Below is my First video in the Vlog series about: GOALS AND PLANS.

I started my WLJ ( weight loss journey ) at 307 lbs and today I am 258 on 3/8/12. I have lost a total of 49lbs. and want to achieve my healthy BMI of 150lbs. I am 5'5 and have been over weight MY WHOLE LIFE. This is a MIND, BODY and SOUL journey that will take so many tools and support to reach my 157lb loss. Currently I am working towards 10lbs per month.

4C Natural Hair Blown Out n Curled Up!

Thursday, March 8, 2012 - Posted by lindsey adams at 5:13 AM

As my hair has grown out a lot and styling can sometime be more difficult. I blow dryed my hair using the Conair Styler 1875 and used Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and Pure Coconut oil on my hair. I protected my hair with the SILK ELEMENTS MEGA SILK HEAT PROTECTION SPRAY
I foamed rolled my 4c natural hair, setting it with Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking Gel.
The results created a cute curl pattern for my afro,but didnt give it a smooth roller set look. The curls only lasted a few days in this tight curl patten, but loosed very quickly. I have experienced longer lasting roller set results,without blowing out my hair first.
