The Urban Soul Experience: L'Renee

OK, now that I have recovered from the SLAYING that took place on Sat. 4/27/13 by THE @lreneedetroit I feel the need to report this to ALL who will listen. When I tell you, that this Grown Woman came out after the Awesome @jtaitsinger slapped us (the audience) around with his vocals on Dwele's "Must Be" she stood in front of the audience and BELTED out her verse as if she had been sent from GOD HIMSELF, to slay us ALL. When I say THE @lreneedetroit showed her a**, she did that and then ripped us a new one. Then she proceeds to continue to snatch our throats clean out of our necks, when she hits THE NOTE of all notes and holds it for dear life and as we grasp neck from the damage she's done already, it was almost like we can see the sound coming from her toes, through her calves, to her knees as she rocks it up through her diaphragm, to her chest, and out of her mouth. And before we could even gasp for air or faint, she places the mic where it belongs and sachets those BEAutiful red pumps right off the stage. As if she was saying, you can breathe now. Ah, AMAZING!!! Thank you for listen! Please, check her out her site. Follow her @lreneedetroit Download her music. Support good music, Support Detroit artist @jtaitsinger @therealdwele And more... Google it! Peace!

My Hair Confessions

O.K. I have been having trouble my hair lately or should I say for the last few years.
After I had my daughter my hair would constantly shed, so yes I automatically thought
it was postpartum hair shedding. Well, in the beginning that might have been the case, but
now, 2 years later, what is really going on. I have went to my doctor and she checked my
Thyroid levels and also ran others test and these things were negative. I have not seen a
Dermatologist yet, which is my next step. I did though go to my Gyn Doctor to have the Mirena
removed, as I had heard, that too could cause hair lose. It has only been a few weeks but still
a lot of hair shedding or falling is still taking place. I have not relaxed my hair since October 2012 so now, I guess I am in the transitioning process.

I hate this transitioning hair right now. Yep, you said it, "because of the two hair textures".
Not only that, I can't style it because of how much has come out. Even though I know that my
natural hair is what they call 4C hair it still looks thin and I am afraid that when I do go completely
natural, it still is not going to look right. Am I going to have to where wigs, not only when I want to
but, because I have to? This worries me!

I am trying to wait at least until August 2013 to BC (Big Chop) but I have to be honest every time I wash my hair I just want to cut it off to get it over with and maybe it will grow out healthier. My reason for waiting though, is to at least have enough hair to be able to do a twist out or something because I know I won't be doing any wash and go's. I learned that much from the last time I went natural. And also hopefully I will have less fallage and I will have enough hair to cover up the thin areas or maybe, just maybe, those thin areas may have grown back.  It's so scary to think I could permanently be losing my hair and I am only 37 years old. Oh, I forgot to mention, my mom lost her hair as well, so this just may be a hereditary issue. Urrrrrrgggg! This is frustrating! We'll just have to wait and see what happens
next.


Peace & Love

NOT FEELING MY BEST SELF

I am a wife, a mother of 4, a new massage therapist and trying to become a business woman. At my age (37) for a lot of people this is nothing. But for me I have NO, I mean NO energy for all the things that I have to do. There are so many projects that are incomplete in my life. I suffer from fatigue almost everyday. Yep, a lot of the times I don't get enough sleep, but even when I get more sleep then normal, I am still tired. Or I can start real high on energy (the way I naturally use to feel all the time) and then all of a sudden I feel extremely tired, sometimes what weak. Heck sometimes I even feel a little nauseated with this fatigue. My hair is coming out something awful and I definitely sick of looking at this pouch attached to my belly. This, is not right. I have a few doctor appointments coming up and I have to say, of course I'm not wishing that there is something wrong with me, but I do hope that if it is something wrong that the doctors find it.

I have to start doing somethings differently. I Have Got To Do Better!


Peace,
