Flat Stomach Secret Thanks "Roundlady"!!!



Morning Ya'll!

This makes so much sense! Did she break it down or what ? When she pulled out the fake stomach I was in awe! Again, it's all about portions and eating healthier point blank period. Everyone does not desire abs or to be a size 2-5 etc however, this doesn't mean that the same rules of the "STOMACH" does not apply :)

Youtuber.com/Roundlady really broke it down for me and YOU!

Natural Hair : Last Hair Video was Nov 19th ...Hair Update




Hi again!

So I haven't made a video about my hair in awhile. Nov 19th is a pretty longtime for KCC. However, it's super "EASY" to blog/post pics. My hair is in some loose cornrows. Loose because I have worn them for the last 2 weeks. Since I started working out I reached for my "Santa Fe Girl" half-wig. My FIRST "half-wig" from 2 years ago!

I washed "her" and "she " is in LIKE-NEW condition. I haven't taken any recent pics with the half-wig on but...

Let's see if I can dig out a old pic of me wearing this wig that I purchased when I first found "Muffinismylovers" on YOUTUBE.

Insanity Workout Update Video (Operation : Goodbye Mommy Tummy)



Hi ya'll

It took alot for me to post this video! It wasn't easy to look at the belly fat... Let me take that back ... It wasn't easy for me to let ya'll look at my belly fat!!!

But hey that was my BELLY @ DAY 1

I'm on DAY 19 again because I was sick for an entire week :(

I'll get into my meal plan soon. I'm telling you it's nothing serious. I had to let go of my "Cookie Addiction" like I said in the previous post :(

Hey a girl must do what she "HAS" to do to achieve what I want in the end!

Skinny VS Fit : INSANITY Total -Body Program



KCC, you are already "skinny" why are you working out ? Well ... let's just say I have fat hanging around my mid-section and it's not even funny! I don't like it so you darn right it must GO!!!! ( I have pics) I just "Really" don't want to post or do a video just yet! I will tell you this, stick around for 43 more days and you will see :)

Yeah, I wear a size 5 and the last time I weighed myself which was months ago I think I was 132-135lbs I don't remember. My goal is not weight loss :) Don't get it twisted I know I look great, but I can't continue to use the "I have 2 kids slogan about my belly "Fat" because my daughter is 1 years old now :) This is no longer baby"FAT" in the middle. It's those Oreos and fatty foods that I oh so LOVE!!!

My clothes do a great job at hiding it, but I know, and my hubby knows lol .

Now I'm really glad I don't have a "HUSBAND" putting me down, he is so "Freaking" encouraging " when it comes to getting RID of this Mid-section. He's actually competitive!!

I'm already a HOT MOM! Yep, I toot my own horn!!!!! but I want to be FIT vs Skinny and if a 4 pack - 6 pack comes with it I'm hella down for it!!

Royal Crown :NATURAL HAIR ~




Hi you guys! I have neglected my blog :( Shame on me!

Ok so I got compliments on my last twist out and I must reveal that I used "Royal Crown" on damp hair.

Yes, "Grease". This is not a "FIRST TIME " thing.

However, this is the first time I have used "Royal Crown". My results were amazing! I saw Youtuber.com/AfricanExport video and tweets and I said I should let my subbies know that I have tried "Grease" quite a few times.

I've never posted a video or any photos until my last one (OOTD Combat Boots) featuring my "Grease" results.

My thoughts on "Grease" hmmmm... I didn't have to apply any other product. Just "Grease" and "Water".

My hair journey" is SHOW and TELL :) I'm the "Natural" who has colored her hair (3) times out of 2years and still retained length :) but seriously "We" must do what works for our "own" hair.

I have nothing "NEGATIVE" to say about this product, but I do prefer "BLUE MAGIC" :)

Royal Crown is very lightweight and controlled my frizzes :) . It also provided a light sheen without being "greasy" like fried chicken!!! ok now I'm hungry!!!

One thing about using "Grease" the results are "Predictable" each time!! "SHEEN" and "NO FRIZZ" :)
haaa!! I'm done!!

This Pretty much sums Me UP! : OOTD & Lookbooks are super cool! We all have different Flavors !

I own a few skirts, mini skirts & dresses,but what most don't know about me is that I"m not your average girly girl!

I love make-up , yes ADORE it! However, my style is pretty much relaxed! Did I just say "RELAXED" ? haa but I wasn't talking about my hair lol!

I am actually thinking about having more fun with OOTD's and OOTN's and doing them weekly! Who knows!!! My Goal for doing them would be letting the Mom's out there know that they still GOT it!!

TOFU ????????



My thoughts on TOFU? it was GOOD! It's all about seasoning! I love onions, broccoli and soy sauce so I went with those three :). Our plates were empty and we actually finished the pan.

Just thought I would tell you ... um I had seconds! My hubby ate his second plate the next day. Now I am stalking TOFU recipes!!! Ha! I haven't eliminated my favorite meat "CHICKEN", but it could happen in the future.

I am slowly getting away from BEEF... not good for my tummy :( The only fish I'm down to is Tilapia so ... who knows !!! I'm still a lover of JUNK food, but I am anxious to test out a vegan "CAKE". They look so yummy when I am browsing http://www.undergroundcookingacademy.com/ website!!

Please go check out this website and I bet your mouth gets watery lol !!! The food on the website looks AMAZING! so check out Chef T Randle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2011 Natural Hair "Summer" Lookbook




Summer is Over ...and this video shows the styles that I rocked. Enjoy !!! I really enjoyed my natural hair this season. I didn't rock any wash n go's , wash n go puffs... maybe, but no wash gel n go's :) . I didn't really wear any protective hairstyles, so the first moment I got to do my sew-in I took advantage and my hair is thanking me!

Keisa Sharpe Magic City meetup June 25 2011



I was interviewed by Keisa Sharpe (The Natural Hair Diva). We were able to take a few minutes away from the awesome meet-up :)

I was quite nervous , why I am not the "shy" one . This isn't my ordinary set up I wasn't in my territory "My bathroom" with my Sony Camera lol . Once that "Huge Camera" and "Light" Flashed I was frozen but I made it through the interview. This was a great day! Keke and I worked really hard to bring the Magic to the "Magic City" . Mission .............. was accomplished!

TTYL!!

Enjoy the video!!

10 Real Reasons Men Break Up With Women



1) Women don't listen
2) Women listen to their friends too much
3) The relationship is NOT a family affair
4) We're not joined at the hip
5) Is this a relationship or a prison sentence?
6) Independence is great—to a point
7) Being too dependent is not a good thing, either
8) Don't you ever have anything nice to say
9) There's no future in the past
10)Maybe his friends won't be your friends, but don't dog them out, either

I agree with the original author, this doesn't fit every instance of a breakup, and this doesn't apply to every woman, but a lot of guys tend to come up with the same reasons.
The list makes you say hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

"Sunday Dinner" Pasta





Let me just say this! If you saw my husband tag my hubby calls me a fake Italian I love Italian food. It was as good as it Looks! I had to pat myself on the back. Pasta seems so simple , yet it is but (we) my household love that "rich" flavor . It truly makes the pasta.

I used :

Ground Beef
Mozzarella Cheese
Sharp Cheese
Prego Italian Sausage & Garlic
Penne Rigate Pasta

(Feel free to add your own sausage and etc but Prego does a great job so I didn't)
How to:

Brown the Beef,
Boil the noodles( add a pinch of salt ),
Next: drain both meat and noodles
add sauce, both cheeses,
sprinkle mozzarella on top and don't forget to sprinkle some parsley flakes ,

place foil over the top and pop in the oven for about 15 mins or until the cheese melts to your likings and YUM YUM!

After the hubby ate the pasta he gave me a fat Kiss!

TTYL!!

Quick Dinner!

If you add some Garlic Bread that would set it off :)

HOTD "Rainy Day"



It rained today and the quickest style was a Puff ! I didn't shampoo, I just let the water (from the shower) hit my hair a little to get my curls to pop pop and pop!! Pics below:



I applied Cantu Shea butter Leave -In Conditioner a "FOREVER Staple in my regime. My hair was moisturized the entire day!


For my edges I used Organic Root Stimulator "Edge Control".




I loved my results for the day!




"Buns" up this Video






I couldn't wait to try a bun after seeing 2 ladies on the YT /Youtube by the name of Simplyounique1 and African Export. I really enjoyed making this video. This is honestly me , just playing in my hair in the mirror and reflecting on my hair journey. I'm almost at my 2 year post Big Chop mark! oh and a bonus was the "Bold" Red Lip too! I purchased the lip color from the "Dollar Tree" yes $1 . Seriously, the name of the lip color is "Bold" .

I love L'Oreal! I use several eye shadows in that brand too! Love Love Love! I'll get into that soon! Here's a few pics of the bun and lip color !

Testing out Beads :) BBW#



Ok so I watch BBW . Yea BBW (Basketball Wives) yea I know........... crazy show right ? and......... to top it off.... only (1) Wife on the show LOL!!!

I also tune in to Giggs (egiggles 79) Youtube Channel where she showed exactly how to achieve something similar . Honestly I didn't know it was this easy. I had to try it. I went hunting for the "prettier" beads but I ran across the wooden beads at Walmart for $4.96 . I'm going to rock these tho and order some from "EBAY" :)


I will not attempt to sale , it's not my thing but I will continue to support other designers , but I will also keep up my (DIY) in this economy :)
