The whole point of this site was supposed to be as a development site where I could test out new things without causing havoc with my "real" websites. What has actually happened is that I created the site and once in a blue moon, I use it to test out a plug in before I use it somewhere else. I am a massive fan of the phrase "Do as I say and not as I do" I strongly believe that if you want to get better at something that you need to practice until you get good at it. Unfortunately I tend to … [Read more...] about EXPERIMENTING
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE ELECTRIC BLUE SUBURBAN AFRO
In the last few months I've had three very different hairstyles. I had my natural hair for a while and kept it for much longer than intended due to budgetary constraints. Having spent a couple of months with my shoulder length at a push afro I decided to make sure that the update was noticeably different so I went full pink hombre waist length mermaid braids.

As a child I wanted … [Read more...] about I WISH I HAD HAIR LIKE YOURS. MEMORIES OF TCB AND PLANNING MY NEXT HAIRDO
CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS 2018
Sitting here in the period between Christmas and New Year, the place in time where I congratulate myself for pulling off miracles as the Christmas fairy and ask myself some serious questions about what my goals are for the year ahead. I stopped generating official resolutions and outrageous lists of improvements years ago and most of the goals amount to me being less of an idiot than I was the year before. Although there were, as always, things throughout the year that could have gone … [Read more...] about CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS 2018
USING MY AFRO TO ILLUSTRATE SUCCESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
If you know me offline, you'll be well aware that my hair changes on a regular basis. If you know me online then you'll probably know that I post a random selection of content on different platforms from time to time and that most of that content gets a minimal response. Most of the things I post get no response whatsoever (unless you count spam), nor should they, most of it isn't worth responding to. The majority of my posts aren't for any form of commercial gain so it doesn't matter, but from … [Read more...] about USING MY AFRO TO ILLUSTRATE SUCCESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
