NAIL ART: WATER MARBELING

THINGS ARE GOING...

THE HAIR IS DOING GREAT IM REALLY LIKING MY HAIR THESE DAYS. STILL KEEPING THINGS VERY SIMPLE AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FOR ME... I HAVE SOME HOUSE GUEST COMING OVER FOR THE WEEKEND SO I DECIDED TO ROLLERSET MY HAIR. I USE HERBAL ESSENCES LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP LEAVE IN FOR THE ROLLERSET AND I MUST SAY IM REALLY CONSIDERING ADDING THIS TO THE STAPLES. TIS ALL FOR NOW...

OH ONE MORE THING I SHOWED THIS CHICK SOME PICS OF MY WATER MARBELING ATTEMPT (SEPERATE POST) AND SHE PROCLAIMED WITHOUT THE LEAST BIT OF SHAME.. "GIRL YOU HAVE WAAAYYY TO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS". FIRST I PUT IT OFF AS BECAUSE IM NOT WORKING AND THE SEMESTER HASNT STARTED SHE THINKS IM JUST SITTING AROUND LOOKING FOR THESE OFF THE WALL THINGS TO DO IN ORDER TO OCCUPY MY TIME... I DIDNT ADDRESS IT THEN BUT IT MADE ME THINK... JUST BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO DO MY OWN HAIR, NAILS, FACIALS, PEDICURES, AND THE LIKE DOESNT MEAN THAT IM SOME BORED PERSON WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO. JUST LIKE YOU SIT IN THE SALON OR NAIL SALON OR SPA FOR HOURS, I DO THE SAME THING JUST IN COMFORT OF MY OWN HOME, DONE BY ME! JUST HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST.

SUNDAY HAIR

SINCE I HADNT DONE ANY TYPE OF DC IN OVER A WEEK I PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS TODAY! I WASHED MY HAIR WITH ELUCENCE VOLUME CLARIFYING SHAMPOO THEN I DID A PROTIEN TREATMENT WITH ROUX WITH A PLASTIC CAP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I APPLIED AUSSIE MOIST AND GVP CONDITIONING BALM AND IM UNDER THE DRYER DOING A STEAM TREATMENT RIGHT NOW. I WILL RINSE IN 1 HOUR AND THEN TWIST MY HAIR WITH OCEAN POTION, HERBAL ESSENCES LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP LEAVE IN, AND SEAL WITH COCONUT OIL. WHEW IM TIRED!!!

THE HAIR LOVES BANANA CLIPS!

I BEEN WEARING MY HAIR STRAIGHT SINCE I DID IT LAST THURSDAY. BETWEEN BRAIDOUTS AND BANTU KNOTS IVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE STRAIGHT-NESS... ITS NOT SLEEK BY ANY MEANS, AND I ACTUALLY PREFER IT THAT WAY. I LIKE FOR MY HAIR TO BE STRAIGHT BUT NOT SLEEK OR PIN STAIGHT. SO PIN STRAIGHT IS A GREAT WAY TO START IF YOUR TRYING TO GET THE STYLE TO LAST FOR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS. EVENTUALLY IT WILL BEGAN TO GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER...

THE REASON FOR NOT WASHING MY HAIR OUT WAS BECAUSE I HAD 2 FAMILY FUNCTIONS AND DIDNT WANT TO HAVE TO APPLY HEAT AGAIN, SO IT WAS EITHER MOISTURIZE LIKE A MAD WOMAN OR STRAIGHTEN TWICE IN THE COURSE OF A WEEK.. HAHAHAHA!

SO IN PREPARATION FOR MY FIANCES FAMILY REUNION, I DID 4 CORNROWS ON MY HAIR THAT WILL NOT COME OUT UNTIL SATURDAY... AND I WILL PUT IT IN A BANANA CLIP.

IVE BEEN USING PROTIEN ON THE LAST 2 INCHES, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW IVE BEEN WEARING MY HAIR OUT ALOT. SO I APPLY SOME RMHRT (ROUX MENDEX HAIR REPAIR TREATMENT) AND THEN OPL (OCEAN POTION LOTION) AND SEAL WITH COCONUT OIL, AND BAGGY....

FINAL BC DECISION

OK, I KNOW I SAID I WOULD BC IN JUNE, THEN AUGUST... WELL AFTER LOOKING AT THE CALENDER I REALIZED THAT MY 2 YEAR TRANSITION DATE IS IN NOVEMBER SO ILL DO IT THEN. PINKY PROMISE!!!

LEMON AND SUGAR FACIAL SCRUB

I HAVE TO THANK POKA FOR ANOTHER FACIAL HIT!

SHE ORIGINALLY GOT THIS FROM THE QUEENOFBLENDING ON YOUTUBE AND I GOT IT FROM HER. THE INSTRUCTION ARE SIMPLE AND ITS BEST TO ALREADY HAVE A SOLID SKINCARE REGIMEN AND ADD THIS A TREAT FOR YOU FACE!

USE REAL LEMON JUICE FROM AN ACTUAL LEMON (NOT THE BOTTLED STUFF)

CUT THE LEMON IN HALF AND SQUEEZE A PALM FULL OF JUICE INTO YOUR HAND, THAN ADD A BIT OF SUGAR

I FOUND THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO DO THIS IS AT NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE BED.

APPLY THE SCRUB AND SCRUB GENTLY,

THEN LET IT SIT ON YOUR FACE WHILST YOU ARE IN THE SHOWER AND LET THEN STEAM WORK ITS MAGIC.

NEXT RINSE IT OFF (DONT JUST WIPE IT OFF WITH THE TOWEL, ACTUALLY RINSE WITH COOL WATER)

APPLY YOUR MOISTURIZER (IT'LL SOAK IN LIKE NOBODYS BUSINESS!!!)

WAKE UP TO SOFT REFRESHED SKIN

SOME LADIES NOTICED THAT THEIR BLEMISHES FADED IN ONE USE. I DIDNT THOUGH IVE USED THIS 3-4 TIMES SINCE I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND MY NEWER BLEMISHES FADED, BUT THE OLDER ONES ARE TAKING THEIR TIME, BUT STILL FADING ALL THE SAME....

QUEENIFBLENDING RECOMMENDS USING THIS SCRUB TWICE A MONTH (I THINK) BUT IVE USED IT TWICE A WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS... IVE ALSO BEEN USING THE HONEY AND CINNAMON MASK AS A SPOT TREATMENT WITH GREAT RESULTS

AS ALWAYS THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT I COULD DO TO ASSIST IN MY SKIN PROBLEMS, LIKE DRINKING MORE WATER.. IM WORKING ON THAT!

REMEMBER WHEN TRYING SOMETHING NEW ALWAYS DO A PATCH TEST. WHAT WORKS FOR ME COULD BE A DISASTER FOR YOU!
