LAYOUT FOR MY BLACK IS BEAUTFUL CHALLENGE #3

Challenge #3 is my Black Hair,

My hair type is kinky curly that appears to be coarse with lots of strands densely packed together, but it is actually quite fine, and soft to the touch. My hair can be easily straightened with a blow-dryer into a smoother style, hot curl or just natural pull back into a pony tail. I was born with sandy brown hair until my hair turned gray.

LAYOUT FOR MY BLACK IS BEAUTFUL CHALLENGE #2

What I like about my home it says welcome to
the Home of someone who is balanced, stylish
and sure of herself. My home is peaceful it has
an abundance of good energy and is a good place
to just sit quietly. I enjoy my black art and photos
of my family that is all through the house. My
special place is the kitchen that were everything
happen from a simple cup of tea, a chat with a
friend, dinner with the family to a full party. My
kitchen is the first stop to all that enter.
My Home is my REFUGE.

Home is a refuge not only from the world, but a refuge from my worries, my troubles, and my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.
