THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING..... MAYBE MAYBE NOT....

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME THAT I DID NOT POST BUT I WAS VERY TIRED AND ALSO I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO. PLUS NOW THAT I HAVE MY MICROBRAIDS I AM NOT SPENDING SO MUCH TIME TAKING CARE OF MY HAIR WHICH IS ONE OF THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF A PROTECTIVE HAIRSTYLE.
PLUS I DECIDED TO CONCENTRATE MY VERY LITTLE FREE TIME NOW AND 3 THINGS :

_ MY DRIVING LESSONS
_ MY BOOK 
_ AND......MY DIET

SINCE MONDAY I AM A MEMBER OF WEIGHTWATCHERS. I DECIDED THAT I WILL TRY TO GET SOME HELP BECAUSE ALONE I ALWAYS FAILED NOT  TO LOOSE BUT TO STOP REGAINING POUNDS. I WEIGHT EXACTLY 16st 12 lb IN ENGLISH MEASUREMENTS WHICH IS 102 KG. YEAH! I AM THAT BIG.LOL.

 IT WAS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE BUT NOW IT IS  BECOMING MY REALLITY AND I AM JUST FED UP. I CHOSE WEIGHTWATCHERS BECAUSE I TRIED A LOT OF METHODS BUT WITH WW YOU CAN EAT EVRYTHING. AND I NEED TO ADMIT THAT I AM A HUGE FAN OF JENNIFER HUDSON. LOL. THIS IS TO HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND.....LOL

YOU JUST HAVE TO ADAPT THE COOKING METHOD AND THE QUANTITY ( MY BIGGEST PROBLEM) .
 AND I NEED THE PRESSURE TO BE WATCH OUT CAREFULLY. I MADE THAT BEFORE WITH MY GP AND IT WAS WORKING. THEN THEY CHANGED THE HOURS AND SUDDENLY IT WAS DURING MY WORKING TIME. I JUST THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY LOOSE 12 KG, I COULD JUST CONTINUE ALL BY MYSELF ..... BIG MISTAKE........ IT DID NOT WORK...... I REGAINED THIS POUNDS SO ALL HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN AGAIN AND I HOPE NOT AGAIN THIS TIME.

OK OK I KNOW IT DEPENDS  ONLY ON ME BUT YOU KNOW THAT THINGS TAKE TIME. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT I THINK IS THAT I REALLY FEEL THAT IT IS MY DECISION BECAUSE BEFORE IT WAS ALWAYS ON THE REQUEST OF SOMEONE THAT I WOULD TRY TO LOOSE WEIGHT SO THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT.

THE SCARY PART IS THAT NEED TO LOOSE HALF OF MY CURRENT WEIGHT... HOW I AM GOING TO DO THAT ?  ( I KNOW HOW IF I FOLLOW WW METHOD) BUT IT IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE I HAVE TO ADMIT.

BUT MY MOST CONCERNS IS ABOUT THE DRIVING LESSONS BECAUSE I AM NOT THAT GOOD AND I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS LOOSING PATIENCE. I HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY TO CHANGE THE GEAR / SPEED MANUALLY AND IT IS ONLY MY 3rd LESSON BUT HE SAID TO ME THAT I AM TOO SLOW TO UNDERSTAND. HOW MANY TIME IT CAN TAKE ? I NEED SOME ADVICES....LOL

FOR MY BOOK I WROTE A LOT OF IDEAS BUT NOW I REALLY NEED TO START THE FIRST CHAPTER BECAUSE I FINISH ALL THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS.
WITH MY NEW COMPUTER I HOPE THAT THINGS WILL BE MORE EASY .....I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE  ONE WITH MY SISTER NOW.

I WILL STILL POST ABOUT HAIR BUT YOU KNOW  ME BY NOW THAT I ALWAYS WRITE
 " WHAT IS ON MY MIND"...... LOL

MY SISTER 'S HAIR ..... LOVE LOVE TO STYLE THEM

I DON' T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I PREFER TO TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE ELSE  HAIR RATHER THAN DOING MINE. LAST TIME I MADE MICRO BRAIDS AGAIN ON MY SISTER. AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I PREFER THE TEXTURE OF HER HAIR. MAYBE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO CARE OF IT WAY BETTER THAN HER. I CAN'T SAY THE SAME THING FROM HER WHEN TI COMES TO MY OWN HAIR. LOL

SHE CO WASHED HER HAIR AND I USED HOT CASTOR OIL ON HER SCALP AND MY NEW LEAVE IN CONDITIONER ON THE LENGTH THEN I BLEW OUT A LITTLE BIT. I WILL MAKE A PRODUCT REVIEW ON THIS LEAVE IN BECAUSE I REALLY WAS IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS I GOT SINCE WE USED IT.
I ALSO TRIMMED HER HAIR.
THIS TIME I MADE THE BRAIDS A LITTLE BIT MORE THICK. AND SHE OPTED TO NOT CO WASH EVERYDAY BUT ONLY ONCE A WEEK. IN FACT IT WILL BECOME REGULAR BRAIDS. SHE WANTS TO KEEP THEM UNTIL CHRISTMAS.

I CAN DO THAT WITHOUT ANY ROLLER SET

IT IS LIKE I DID PRESS HER HAIR 

FINAL RESULTS

A TOP VIEW

I AM SO ENVIOUS OF HER HAIR TEXTURE... LUCKY HER. BUT IT ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO TOUCH HER HAIR. SO SOFT AND  SO SMOOTH.

A PAINTER / SCULPTOR NAMED ....RHODE BATH - SCHEBA MAKOUMBOU

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME NOW THAT I DID NOT POST ABOUT A PAINTER OR A PHOTOGRAPHER BUT I DID IT ONLY IF I  FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS/ HER WORK AND THIS IS THE CASE WITH RHODE BATH-SCHEBA MAKOUMBOU.
.
SHE WAS BORN THE 29 TH AUGUST 1976 IN BRAZZAVILLE ( CONGO ) AND WAS INITIATED BY HER FATHER WHO IS ALSO A FAMOUS PAINTER. SHE REALLY STARTED TO BECOME A FULL TIME PAINTER SINCE 1989. SHE IS ALSO A SCULPTOR SINCE 2002.
SHE USED MOST OF THE TIME A KNIFE RATHER THAN A BRUSH TO PAINT.

A FAVORITE SUBJECT IN PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IS TO DEPICTED THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF LIFE OF AFRICAN WOMEN. TODAY A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED BUT NOT IN SOME VILLAGES OR COUNTRYSIDE. SHE ALSO WANT TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE OLD JOBS WHICH TEND TO DISAPPEAR.
SINCE 2003 A WORK IS EXHIBITED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
 
SOME OF HER WORK THAT LIKE :

YES SHE MADE HUGE SCULPTURE. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
