My good sisterlocked sista @nicolekvasco recomended this book to me. It’s called Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. It’s an essential read if you are an upcoming or seasonsed entrepreneur and want to get ahold of your finances. This book has completely changed my mindset about making money. The goal is to not just make a profit in your business, but to also be able to actually see and touch the profit. So the author explains how to set up your accounts the right way so that you can stop eating away at your profits. Let me know if you have read this book before or if you plan on it. I’d love to know your thoughts!

Nutrition/Workout Program for Gut Health Issues

This was my month to get back focused on my nutrition and gut health. My FitSista group and I just finished this 4 week gut-focused program and let me tell you... collectively, we lost over 100 lbs together! For me personally, I lost 7 lbs and 2 inches off my stomach, which is my problem area. I no longer have major cravings, I haven't had any IBS (gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea) flare ups, and I have more energy throughout the day. If you want to join us for round 2, join the waitlist here.

Athleta Workout Outfits

I treated myself to a couple new spring workout sets from Athleta. I absolutely love the crop top workout bra because it is perfect for those who are heavy chested, like me. Not only is it just super cute, but it also keeps the girls secure. What I love the MOST about these workout tops is that they include padding in them already. So there's no need to wear a sports bra. The bottoms are squat proof, meaning you can bend down and they will not slide off of you. The bottoms also include pockets, which is MUST for me. They also hold everything in and are high-waisted too. Finding workout clothes that fit me on the top and the bottom is definitely a major win.

How do you keep your sisterlocks so shiny?

• Use a clarifying shampoo to clean your hair and clear any product residue or buildup because products can leave a film/residue on your locs and can make your locs look dull and not shiny
• Drink lots of water
• Eat lots of water-rich fruits and vegetables

Why did you stop self-retightening?

I stopped because I was noticing holes in my locs from me not retightening properly. It’s easy to miss a rotation if you’re not paying attention and being extra careful with it. So I stopped and decided to go back to a sisterlocktician so she could get my hair back on track and also close some of the holes.

Is your natural hair color brown?

Yes, my natural hair color is dark brown, but I added some highlights and lowlights in addition to my natural hair color.

Have you noticed that it takes longer to retie longer locs as they grow or has it been the same length of time for you?

I don’t think so, because when my hair was way shorter, it used to take 5 hours. But as I’ve changed sisterlockticians, I’m now able to have a faster retie even at the length that my hair is at now. I think it depends on the loctician’s retie speed.

How often do you retighten and how long does it take?

So right now I don’t self-retie, I currently go to a sisterlock consultant. Her name is @juslockett. She consistently takes about 3.5 hours to do my retightenings. I go about every 5-6 weeks. I got my sisterlocks retie this month and it was on point per the usual. I made a Reels showing what it looks like when I go to get my retie, and also shared some items that I bring with me on my retie days.

Were you active in the beginning of your sisterlock journey? I’m nervous because my install is coming up, I work out 3-4 times a week. I don’t plan on stopping but I don’t want slippage or issues with my new loc babies.

When I first got my sisterlocks, I wasn’t as active as I am now. Back then, I was really focused on my nutrition and gut health. I really needed to figure out how to manage my IBS. But, ever since I figured out my IBS issues and have been able to manage it, I’ve been able to workout a ton more towards the middle of my sisterlock journey. Don’t be nervous, there are things you can do to save your edges/perimeter from slipping. For example, some of the ladies in my FitSista group braid and band their hair prior to their workouts. You could also braid your edges and the perimiter down too so they don't slip. You could also use a hair wrap or scarf to tie down your edges as well. You don’t have to stop working out once you get your locs installed.

What bike do you ride in your stories?

It’s the Beachbody MYX bike. I just got it not too long ago and it’s the bomb. I get to ride with all my favorite Beachbody trainers like Shaun T from Insanity. I can also take the same classes as my friends and see their videos on the screen while we workout. Right now, the bike is $400 off using my discount code. Reply back to this email with "Need Bike Details" and I'll send you the code and can answer any questions about it.
