So, as some of you know I am natural. I have decided to challenge myself and my hair this fall. Starting in September, I will be doing more protective styling, one more trim for the year, and more treatments.
The only drastic thing I want this fall is COLOR :0) - Oranges/Reds/Browns! mmm.
I will try to keep this updated with progress, but we shall see.
Pray for me.

Loc'ed Up -
So, I am at that point in my life where I am deciding to loc my hair or not.
Well there is no NOT, I am going to do it - :))
What needs to be determined is -
When and How!
I want my locs to be started during a big and positive event.
I am thinking when I either get pregnant with my first child :0)
When I purchase my first home :0) or When I go back to school to get my MGD :0)!
I have been doing some research, and SLs (Sisterlocks) are really keep my attention.
I guess it works out that I wait for an event because the cost of installation is NOT A GAME. I will keep you all updated as to the course of my journey, but it will be starting soon!

Word?
So, taking my lead from Word It.
I have found a small dose of recreational drugs, as I call it.
Since Word Its have stopped giving words, and it is The End for them.
I am starting my own little Word? Series. I take words from those close to me, and maybe a few from some familiar strangers - and I use photography, illustration, or any other sort of design to communicate that particular word.
My first Word? is Fallen

Recreational Drug?
Simply put, I need an art form outside of design for work.
It is to a point where I only design for work, and I feel like the outside design world is passing me by. I mean, yes, I can do tutorials for this and that, but I mean something with some substance. A logo for a cool company, not a pharma-giant. A website or collateral for something sexy, not an agri-giant.
I need a Recreational Drug! I recently started taking up Pole Dance for Fitness, and I absolutely ADORE IT. I would dare/suggest anyone to do it because it is so far from the idea that people get in their head when they see or hear Pole Dance. By the time the instructors get through with you, you are too sweaty and too soar to think about a strip club. The wonderful part is most of the women who are taking this up are Graphic Designers like me, Ph. Ds, People in Marketing, Cops! I am currently at Aradia Fitness in Cary, NC and I adore it! There is a whole community out there. Try it!
I am sitting at work, trying to think of something other than designing for work, and its not going well. I think I will do a word-it type of deal. Give myself and word every week or two weeks and design something quick for it.
hm.
This week's word - Fallen.

MySELF - Portraits
So, with inspiration from a fellow designer - Annie Ha.
I have decided to do a portrait project of myself.
I am kind of scared about the idea because I hate pictures of myself.
I would rather take pictures of others any day. Portraits are so damn personal, that and, you get to look at yourself, something I do not do often.
I can remember what other people look like down to the way their brows are arched, but if I had the artistic ability to actually do portraits, and someone told me to draw myself, It would be a circle, with two circles inside of it for eyes, and so on and so forth. It would be really Pre-Kish.
I learned about it in Psych., being able to remember details of others faces, and never your own.
Anyway, I started some time back, it is turning out to be really fun.
I will keep updating - http://www.flickr.com/photos/elley_bee/sets

I've got a garden HEY HEY HEY HEY!
My mom is one of the coolest mom's on the planet. She has this way with plants and flowers, and has inspired me to plant my own little Garden of Eden {on my balcony}.
My favorite flowers are lillies, but I have sunflowers, morning glory, and two other random ones I nicknamed Beautiful Buds. _shrugs
Paradise in the city son -
My morning glory have not sprouted yet. But I will keep updating.
