It's snowing in Cape Town, so windy in Johannesburg and yet I've decided to "chop" that hair from my head and have no regrets at all since then :) How it all started I cut my hair (the first round) on November 2012 because after my two pregnancies my hair became a complete mess: "long, short, medium, kinky, dry, smooth..."

Also, driving too much, had reduce my time for what I usually did  whenever i got time that is "Walking". I set it on my mind first that I have to lose weight by the beginning of the year. I only started putting my desire into action when I arrived to Yaounde.  So what change...

I couldn't just kept such creativity and gift to myself so i told her am gonna make her work go public :) How do you find this design? I LOVE IT!  I would personally recommend this one for work and summer season, your head can breathe and you won't be stressed to style up in the morning before you go out. By the way, i t's called "Passe-m รจ ches or rajouts" in French. So how many of you will try this in the near future :) 'cause i definitely will!!! Aevermint
