Yeah, I was just laid back and chillin' like a villain this weekend in this hot, humid and sunny weather. Got to love New York in the heat. Caught up on some reading outside. Good times.

Anyway, onto the more important things. Since it was a laid-back weekend, I just threw my hair into a ponytail with the help of Ecostyler Gel (that stuff works wonders for pulling your hair back for that sleek look). But obviously, I didn't want to get too extra with the gel to avoid replicating that slicked back gel look... you know, when your baby hairs are glued down and your hair looks as if it were painted on your head. Hot back in '96, maybe, and probably still hot for some today. Anyway, to avoid all of that, I just brushed my hair back using a Denman brush to create a sleek yet natural look.

Hope you are all enjoying the holiday! Summer unofficially begins! Bring on the BBQ, watermelon, lemonade and of course, some classic soul joints!
