Dear Spring, I can't wait to see you this weekend










So it's supposed to be in the 70's come Thursday and Friday and then hit the 80's come Saturday. Lets just say I am uber hyped and can't wait. It's kinda of like that feeling you had when you where a lil tike and were invited to your very first or second sleepover. And during that whole weekend you spent days outside running around, staying up late, eating freeze pops and junk food and absorbing the wonderful sunlight, because you grew tired of days indoors for past months prior. I don't know what I'll be doing exactly, but it does involve just being outdoors all day long. I can't wait wait...this will be just a wonderful tease of the summer months to come.

.......see you soon :) xox

DON'T CALL IT A COME BACK...but it is that



It's been a minute and a half. And yeah alot has gone on in my life more good and great than ok. I will try my best to do a brief summary if that is even necessary, but I'll just start from here as my marker as the beginning.

But yeah, let's place the focus back on me ,as those who are new and unaware. Alot of changes from the inside and outside have been going on. My most current and most hyped change which I am loving 100x to the infinite power is my BC. BC= big chop whom aren't game to the "natural hair " terminology. I've went from 20 something odd years of rocking straight locks thanks to the creamy crack to coming to terms and having a pow-wow with myself again. I like to call my "new" hair "Amina"...it was more so given to me,so for future reference Amina is the name of my hair.

Here are some pics of me to give you a brief time line of hair journey: (cue in the opening music of the Lion King Please)

Me circa 1987 maybe- before a perm super thick, pressed and happy




Sometime in the early 1990's when acid wash, Pee Wee Herman, MC Hammer and Fraggle Rock was still in syndication on tv...am I showing my age?


My high school picture for being art student of the month...how I sometimes miss those days




Fast forward to Junior Year of College still rocking long hair but going through a short "Corinne Bailey Rae" phase of spirals all over. This style was a hit and a shocker for those who were used to me with straight hair....



Ahhh, My summer in Germany after graduating college. I swear my hair was the healthiest, thickest and longest during my time here. I blame their "hard" yet unfiltered vitamin enriched water. I miss Europe.




Another picture of me that I took while there and waiting on a ride....the things I do while alone...





Summer of 2009, hair is still good, but during this time I did notice it getting a little thinner than before. Yet still unfazed but I just opt for a new style to help make it appear thicker...





So I got bangs and got it layered it in the back, but grew over the bangs in a few weeks




Then a week before Christmas 2009, I hacked it off after getting tired of it sweating out in dance class and just noticing it getting thinner and thinner...I figured from this point and from doing research months prior to I would go natural and figured that this would be a good "transition" phase and also the ability to see what my natural hair curl pattern is...




I liked it initially and thought that by having shorter hair would be less maintenance, but I definitely misread the memo and it more work than ever. I tried to maintain this style but it lasted for a good 3months and I was tired of the civil war which was Perm vs the Natural going on. After three months of battling it out the Natural took over and I was definitely loving my curly hair which I never knew I had.


And then on a rainy Friday night on March 12,2009 the battle ended by cutting off the remainder of the relaxed ends off for good. And that is where I am at. Relaxer free and a curly mini fro or twa (teeny weeny afro).

So, this is where I am a new journey in getting reacquainted with life while still, dealing with the everyday life of life and making the best from it. Stay tuned as I will update and definitely show you a glimpse of my life.

UMMM can we say Showstopper


So I feel as though I need to find these sneakers, just so I can look ultra fly when in dance class. I feel as though with these sneakers I could climb mountains, moonwalk across small streams, pop lock and tutt all over the streets of downtown Philly. With a pair of sneaks like these your outfit should be dumb simple because the sneaks are good on its own. If any one knows the name of this sneaker..PLEASE Please tell me :)

Back like a bad habit


Hola,

I'm back in action to give this blog thing another try, I will try to be faithful like a prostitute to her Pimp Daddy Dobop. Life I can say since my last post which was July/August-ish has been a like a bouquet of mixed flowers..colorful, fun, a lil dull, but overall pleasing to the eye. If I went into complete detail you would probably stop coming around so I wont. I'll just fill you in when necessary. So yeah, in the last post I mentioned a new direction, and there will be you just have to stick around to see these changes.

Anyways, today is Friday..Thank you God Almighty, because the week have been long and cold. The weather in Philly has been labeled or diagnosed as completely bi-polar because clearly last week I was able to frolic the streets in a t-shirt or light jacket, but this week just jumped from fall straight to winter. To the point where I had to vacuum the dust off my Ugg boots (however I still refused to wear them) and throw on layers of t-shirts (because I forgot I got rid of a lot of my winter gear last year). It's been rainy and just completely disgusting to the point I broke down and purchased some Hunter rain boots or galoshes because my faithful moccasins don't come equipped with rain blocker abilities.

So as I continue to wear my moccs till I get my new moccs thats about it for today. As you can see its like 3pm-ish, and I'm clearly not doing any work...I blame the weather and the fact that I'm tired from my last several days of hanging out to wee hours of the morning.

So,what do you have planned for the weekend? Me creating visual miracles at my PTJ (part time job), entertaining and amusing my friends, hip hopping, and enhancing my Chinese...yeahhh boii sounds like 2 days of unbearable fun right there. My life isn't that sad, trust me...just this weekend.
For those who are close to me and are apart of my "Tiffso's Morning Thoughts Program" , I like to ask random questions or give some great liners just to start the day good on a happier note. You can say it's like apart of your complete breakfast like that box of Wheaties and OJ on the side. Well I will start sharing some of these thoughts here...because its my blog.

Well have a good weekend see you loves later.

Tiffso's Question of the day: If a company offered a service like Car Facts for cars but had something geared towards prospect/potential dates called "Date Facts", would you use it or would you go about the traditional way and just see what happens between you and your prospect?




and final thought of the day: Always knock first ....(not all surprises are good, but they can be amusing)
