FOTD to calm my nerves

I did this look a few weeks ago. I had a terrible day and came home to do some makeup to calm my nerves. Seriously, the "smiles" in these pics are all forced - that how bad my day was lol. Of course I got over whatever was bothering me and all is well :-)

You guys, I promise my edges are not this rough in person!

Quick hair post

Hi guys - I just have a quick hair post to share:

I retwisted an old twist out using the products listed below. My flat twists were done on dry hair in two layers, parted from ear to ear and secured with perm rods. I actually find the Curl Enhancing Smoothie to be a tad greasy, so I didnt use any additional product to untwist.
