I can't believe I haven't a blog entry about Sandi, the amazing woman who installed my Sisterlocks. If it weren't for Sandi, I would still be a loose natural head. The Sisterlocks website, blogs and various forums I visited were great inspirations but Sandi sealed the deal. When I saw her beautiful locks flowing over her shoulders I knew Sisterlocks was for me. She's an absolute angel who is my consultant, my friend, a shoulder, and just an awesome person. She has this wonderful energy. How crazy is it that my locks are now the same length hers were when I got mine installed? Since she has her hair tied back you can't see the thickness, but her hair is twice as thick as mine. She's been locked for a little over 6 years.
We hadn't seen one another for six months. She's lost so much weight and looks phenomenal! She also noticed that I had lost some weight as well....YES!!!!
Greens & Pasta!!!!!
1) La Dolce Vegan's Spinach Salad w/ Sweet Vinaigrette Dressing - I've always been a fan of raw spinach, the addition of raisins & toasted pine nuts was greatly appreciated. The dressing on the other hand was not sweet at all, just vinegary..
2) Manicotti - This was a good recipe! My only issue was the suggestion to not cook the pasta beforehand, it was just to al dente for me.
3) Nonna's Italian Kitchen's Baked Macaroni & Tomatoes - This is the best recipe I've tried out of this book yet. It was so creamy and will most likely be my mac&cheese fix meal. Lando is in love with this one.
4) General Tao's Tofu - I can never recommend this recipe enough! I wanted to see how it would taste without battering the tofu, it wasn't as great as the original but it was still good and more point friendly.

The two of you look radiant!
The two of you are absolutely beatifuo. Wow, Sandi's locks have grown since I've seen her almost 1 year ago. Your locks are just amazing even since I met you. Next month will be a year for me. We got to get together again. Are you going back to Sandi now?
The food looks soooo good!!
Did you get the job?

Carmen> I should be cooking for others since Lando doesn't take advantage...hehehehe! Sandi is awesome!!!
Mel> Thanks!
RMC> I missed Sandi so much & had to go see her. I do plan on getting my last retightening in Orlando done by her though.
Don't think I got the job, still haven't received a call.
N'Drea> She's one of my favoritest people. I am so fortunate to have met her and been introduced to Sisterlocks by her.
It is wonderful when you can foster a good relationship with your consultant. I think it makes the whole process smoother. Okay, that spinach salad is calling me.
You look so Great!!!! Thanks for the compliments Sis!!! Be Blessed!
Cashana> I totally agree!
Shawna> Thank You!
Nice picture of you both!!!
Finding a wonderful consultant is truly a blessing. Glad to hear she sealed the deal for you.
You both look marvelous!
Aya & Goodnapps> Thanks!
Great news on the consultant. Thanks so much for posting the mac and cheese recipe. You know I suffer from a cheese addiction. I am going to try it ASAP. You lok great in the pic. When you come to ATL, can I just pay you to cook meals for the week? :p
Thank you for congratulating me on my lockaversary!!!! And your locks are simply gorgeous !! And I am so glad you got to see Sandi.. You two look great !!!
Sophia> I can't say how fortunate I am to be lactose intolerant enough when it comes to going veggie. Cheese is one, or most likely the hardest, food to let go of. The Baked Macaroni tastes nothing like actual mac & cheese but it's very creamy. I forgot to mention I subbed Tofutti's Sour Cream instead of making the recommended white sauce.
You'd want to hire me to cook your meals? AWESOME!!! LOL!!! Once I'm settled in (and that could take a while), I would like to have a get together to showcase vegan dishes. There are so many misconceptions regarding the vegan diet....you know?
Jenn> Thanks! It was awesome seeing Sandi!
I had to go back to your beginning pictures and look now and it's like OMgooderness your hair is long! You both are beautiful it's such inspiration seeing beautiful black natural women.
Diva> I know!!! Isn't it CRAZY!!! Sisterlocks was one of the best decisions I made in my life! Just wish my mom would jump on board...
mika jones.... you look great & your hair is beautiful!!!

Hey CreativeSista!!!!! If my locks could be half as gorgeous as yours I would be set!
Jenn> Tagged??!! I'm on my way to your blog!
You all do look really good, and I can tell her locks rock! But... so do yours! So envious. Where did you have them installed at? (City, State)
MsNana> Thanks!!! I'm so envious of her locks. They were installed in Haines City, FL.
Wow, Sandi look great! I had to look twice because she looks different from when I met her almost 2 years ago.
I think I'm going to try the Mac & Cheese recipe because it looks yummy.
Southern> Doesn't she!!! Let me know how you like the recipe.
