My 24th Birthday Week Lineup (April 29th-May 5th)
Next week on May 2nd, I am turning 24 years old. I usually don’t make a huge fuss over my birthday but this is going to be my last birthday for a while in Houston. I need to spend it with the people I love, doing things I enjoy.
I am the type of person who loves birthdays but I spend most of my time planning for others and making sure people enjoy their birthdays that my own birthday often gets overlooks. This year, I’m not going to wait for someone to surprise me or throw me a party.
This year, I’m going to avoid those incredibly mundane birthday dinners. I’m using my extreme over-planning skills to plan myself the most epic birthday week I can think of. Why? Because I can finally admit to myself that I deserve it.
Here’s a peek at the schedule (below). Click on the picture for the Google Doc for the birthday week lineup. Yes, it’s that serious.
The document will be updated periodically, with times, prices and locations in the document.
If you’d like to see new places in Houston, feel free to come with us. All you need to do is comment with an RSVP on the Google Doc. If you have any events you thing I should add, let me know!
** warning: when you see the Google doc, you’re going to think I’m anal retentive. I am, about certain things. I hope you enjoy my birthday as much as I do!
Music Duos: Keys & Maxwell
I love Alicia Key’s raspy voice in comparison to Maxwell’s falsetto. Nice duo.
Sunday Best: Floral Print and Bright Tights
Today’s choir color was orange. I struggled to find something to wear because I had no orange dress (I need to fix that). I did, however, have orange tights and orange earrings, as well as a tweed jacket that has orange threads in it.
I’ll admit that this outfit was a bit forced, but at least I have orange on! My favorite part of my ensemble, was the side-swept hair. I like the view in the upper left-hand corner the best.
Happy Sunday from the Komo sisters. Enjoy our VEDA video of us singing earlier this week:

Baking Soda/ACV Rinse and Locs Knots
Earlier this week, my hair was feeling dry, dusty, and dirty! I had to do something about it. I knew I had to wash and retwist, but I was looking to try a clarifying wash on my hair for the first time. 
I researched and found a recipe for an Baking soda & ACV rinse. I followed the step-by-step instructions.
Watch the process here:
The result was a squeaky-clean scalp and refreshed locks. I followed up the rinse with a retwist and some loc knots.
Here are the results:
I noticed that my hair is always in curly styles so I never see how long my hair is. A friend took a length check picture for me and I was amazed by how much it’s grown!
The loc knot curls are very similar to the pipe cleaner curl, but a little less work to “install”.
See the video:
The curls held up, even though I only used water and no setting lotion. I love it!
Sunday Best: “Your Love Never Fails”

VEDA vlog #14: Cover of “Your Love Never Fails” by Jesus Culture
I heard this song for the first time this week because we were singing it on the praise team at church this morning. Ever since, it’s been on my lips.
Porcelain studio is the bathroom. I’m mixing my own tracks in the bathroom…don’t judge!
Enjoy :)
Happy Birthday, Dami!!
All About The Color Purple (OOTD)
Today I was able to pull my hair back in a medium height ponytail!! I liked the fullness of the tail. I wore it with side-swept bangs.
It was all about the color purple today. A friend told me I was brave for this mono-chromatic outfit. I knew I was taking a risk combining my lilac Oxford blouse with my eggplant tights, but I think it turned out just fine.
