Hulk, SMASH!!!

So I saw The Avengers this weekend - after the whole world and her sister have seen it - and I got an eyeful of eye candy.

It's the sentinel of Liberty and the son of Asgard, beautiful Chris Hemsworth ;;). Yup!

Anybody else notice some sexiness to The Hulk? Anyone? No? No? Ugh! 

I thought it was a great movie though. Wonderful effects, lots of wit and interesting dialogue plus of course, all those pretty pretty boys. 
Each character had its day in the movie and not too much over-shadowing. Although for a bit, it seemed to me that the Hulk overshadowed the rest of the crew in that final battle scene. Also, was it just me or did I see some of Transformers 2 in that movie? The concept? Final battle scene? Me thinks though. 
If you're expecting a movie with a highly intelligent script and dialogue though, you'd be looking in the wrong place with this movie. Action comics have never been known to be of that category. It's just your regular good guys against bad guy who wants to take over the world flick (this is the point where you roll your eyes). All in all, great movie. I shall definitely be seeing it again. ;)

Ciao now!

My Summary Hair Story

This will probably be my first something akin to a post and it's going to be about my hair. :D
Yes, I am presently on a transitioning journey from relaxed hair to natural. Excited much! \(^_^)/ This natural hair journey just came upon me when I realised my once extremely full mane was now really thinning out and I was slowly but surely developing Iya Iyabo type hair (my edges were chopping off) >_<. Upon some research, I came to the realisation that my hair was losing it's life and essence because of the relaxers I was using to weaken it. I wanted my hair back in all of its glory and hence made the decision to go natural. Yes!
And so! 6 months post relaxer and transitioning - I never got to rock a TWA :( (Story for another day). I am still at that stage where I am finding what works best for me. I hope to update my blog on my discoveries, failures and successes in this respect.
Here's a photo of my hair before I put in braids last weekend for protective styling. You can see I'm a bit gone with the natural hair.
Here's my braids photo. I love them, by the way ;)
I would (notice the use of "would" and not "will". #LazyWomanTalking) post an update on how I care for these braids and progress so far.
Ok, so today, I got 2 hair products from Park n Shop. Park n Shop is right next to my office (which is just pure torture, btw!) so I get most of my hair care products from there. Which means I spend at least 2 days in each week, ogling their hair aisle. The hair aisle is not exactly favourable to black naturals but you can see get some pretty interesting stuff over there. So today, I got myself a Parachute Coconut Oil which I've been using from the get-go and totally love!

And also, Alberto V05 Moisture Milks Moisturising Conditioner which I heard a lot of wonderful reviews about.

I am going to try out the V05 and see if my hair loves it. Good thing is, it's not pricey so experimenting will not be a problem.
Oh yes! Almost forgot! I got this too :D For my tea rinse. Details on that subsequently

Ciao now!
Stay beautiful!
