I’m on the part of my novel where I need to push myself past the hum-drum and get to the meat of the story so I can finish this book! I’m very close to the end, but I seem to be wasting time on little scenes, instead of getting to the crux of the story. It’s funny, I can’t wait to finish this book, but seems I’m hesitating to finish. What will I complain about once I’m finished writing it? Oh wait, revisions. Dang, thought I was on easy street…
Looking at Jill Scott at the “Why Did I Get Married Too” premiere she really reflected her hit song, “Golden”. She looked gorgeous.
Love the braids going down the side of her head and the cascading curls on the other side, (helped out with my best friend, weave of course.) And her body in this dress? Slamming.
Jill loves to play with different looks where her hair is concerned, but all of the styles are quintessential, Jill.
This is something I’ve preached to my clients for years. Find a look that’s uniquely yours, but be willing to update your look from time to time. Jill loves her natural hair, but it’s the fact that the she plays with different textures and colors that keeps her look fresh.
Having a signature look doesn’t have to be boring. After years of playing with different hairstyles I’ve finally found my signature look—long hair. But I change up my hairstyles so much (bangs, sleek and straight, voluminous curls), that it never looks stale.
Trying something new while still keeping your “look” isn’t as hard as it sounds. Little tweaks here and there to your current style is all you need. Have a great weekend everybody!
My sister looks like Jill Scott – a lot.
Good luck with the writing!
Then your sister is one good-looking girl!
Thanks Phyllis! I’m trying to look forward to the next thing: revisions. Can you believe that’s my favorite part?
I think this is good point, yet, I cannot help but be lured by the appeal of hairstyle that I just love… but that don’t necessarily love me back. For example, I am in the process of growing out my hair–growing out some messed up long layers and the length a bit too. But I saw this gorgeous girl with the most AMAZING bob with bangs yesterday and I had this sudden intense urge to chop it all off into that cut. I mean, as soon as my dumb layers where long enough… I can’t get over that part of myself that loves to change stuff. Although now that I am a bit older, I let the feeling wash over me… and let it pass… instead of booking an appointment with the nearest available stylist!
I feel you on that. I love Halle Berry’s short hair. The funny thing is that short hair looks amazing on me, but when I cut I’m constantly looking at women with long hair. So I’m growing out my hair, (with the help of my best friend, weave) and plan to rock a chin-length bob this summer. Still a change but not the drastic cut that I want to do.
