More than words, so I took pictures

I tried something old with something new

by Fleurzty on November 28, 2009

I was planning for my hair conditioning session, when I saw my only half-way used bentonite clay container. Before my Ayurvedic craze, I was using bentonite clay masks on my hair. They worked well, but I somehow have not made a clay mask for my hair and skin in over a year.

Happy Thanksgiving

by Fleurzty on November 26, 2009

I truly believe Thanksgiving is a time to step back and look at the year past  and be thankful for all the blessings I received, big and small. Nothing is insignificant in life and in the quest for bigger and better things, sometimes we disregard what at the time could seem like insignificant factors. I [...]

The Weekend's Hair

by Fleurzty on November 23, 2009

To celebrate my 5th anniversary, I gave my hair a well-needed spa treatment, that included Amla. I had not done a Amla treatment in a while, and was beginning to miss my little mud [...]

TIGI takes a walk down TEXTURE lane

by Fleurzty on November 15, 2009

I have always been fond of the name Elle, to the point that I want to name my daughter Elle, if I [...]
