updates

While at the gym, honey and I went in the pool after our work out. I had alot of fun but I realized that I am extremely tired! I almost forgot how many of your muscles are working when you are swimming. I didnt have swimming goggles and my eyes are too sensitive to open while under water so I jut moved around the best that I could.

I am trying to make my body for toned. With doing this I need to lose some of my belly too lol. I mean its not crazy but if it were a lil more tone I would be happy :D.

Still planing and planing for my future goals. I am making major cutbacks. Things that I would splurge and "treat" myself to is no longer going to take place until I am in a situation to do so.

hmmm mi pelo is good.I finally have a routine that I believe I will be sticking with. :D We shall see :D (aubrey organics island naturals and honeysuckle rose co;shea moisture leave in and eco styler and seal with carols daugther tui oild)

The denman loves me, the denman loves me not

So today I washed my hair with Aubrey Organics Island Naturals conditioner and Devacurl One conditioner...I love the combo. After that I added Lustrasilk Shea butter conditioner which I used as a leave in. Then I applied Castor Oil and Curly Pudding. My hair velt very moisturized all day. I loved the results!!! I do plan to try henna soon...we shall see.

Even with great results, I'm not sure if I love using a denman to shingle...Because my hair is tightly curled/coiled the denman gives way to much shrinkage..I dont know we shall see. but for now I'm not sure if the denman loves, or loves me not ;D

Weekend 3/14-3/15

I really appreciated this weekend. I had alot of rest and I was able to reflect on my first week of the new job.
I went to the gym and got an assesment done on my bod...well I have been concentrating on the wrong work out regime. I need to concentrate of exercises that is strictly for my core muscles. I am so sore from the assessment however I feel great about myself. I think I am going to purchase a work out tape for that type of exercising.
Me and My gurlie RM were out and about and had a nice introduction to the burtbee's company. Now we both have heard of the company and I have some of the shampoos but were introduced the to skin care as well. I purchased the coconut foot cream which is Amazing and its only 9 bucks. Now I still love my cd peppermint fot creme but burtbees is on point too. Burtbee's has a pomegranate shampoo and conditioner and I plan to purchase the conditioner the only thing is, its for "volumizing"..I feel I have enough volume as is so I dont know if that will be a negative or positive yet but it smells yummy!
Today I washed my hair and I also used nexxus emergencee treatment. I must say that my hair felt amazing after the treatment. Its been a while and I enjoyed every second of feeling each strand coil up with the water fall from the shower head. Then I added giovanni direct leave in (my favorite, officially a holy grail!) and I used Blended Beauty Curl style creme, it was very moisturizing and I got it from my homie RM. It reminded me of how much I miss Blended Beauty products the prices are just a grip sometimes tho...:/ and after that I sealed it with castor oil and I loved the results! Tonight I am twisting up my hair to have a cute twist out tomorrow :D good times good times...

First week

Okay, so even thought I have not really gone in the field, I feel overly tired.
The hours are a big difference from what I am used to but I just have to play it by the ear.. I feel my day is mostly spent downtown and now I really understand when people say " you see your co-workers more than your own family". I accepted the fact that thursdays will be my long days because of two late family visits in the office.

I have met kool peeps at work. and one of my good friends works there as well but in a different unit. Thank God its friday and we have monday off soo 3 day weekend, Holla!. Now I can catch up on sleep because 6 am is nooooo joke!

**side note**
Alot of the women in the office have natural hair or cute short hair styles. One thing I do appreciate about the BK or an urban atmosphere is the fact that everyone has their own style or uniqueness. Of course no matter where you got there will always be a so called " standard beauty" but I hold my own standards...HA take that glamour mag *wink*

Thinking with my Master Plan

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!! Yes we made it thanks to God. On NYE My honey and I went to church with his grandma. I enjoyed bringing in the new year praying and being as close to God as I could. I didnt make any resolutions however I do have this attititude that if I want change, I have to be the change...so whats been goin on with me

****Shopping****
I need to do it...I am patiently waiting for more income so that I can splurge a lil bit :D. So far i hit up some lil gurlie stores and Express (nice sale) and i have four new pairs a shoes...very excited

Hair stuff
So I have been neglecting my natural tresses I know Shame on me..however I decided I was going spoil the ish out of hair for now on. Today I had a great experiment on nice curl definition and moisture. I co washed with aubrey organics island naturals,then I applied giovanni direct leave in conditioner, took a dollop of kinky curly curling custard (kccc) and aubrey organics mandarin jelly and I also sealed it with castor oil. I loved the results and it didnt take me forever like usual. I was very happy today therefore today was a fab hair day. I am thinking about pressing my hair in february but I'm not sure yet. If not than braids is an option.

Naturally Me

I love having natural hair..... I love being able to do my own thing and not worry about pleasing anyone else but myself. I decided that harsh chemicals are not necessary for me to have straight hair. If it were that serious then I can just flat iron or press my hair to achieve a straight look. People day by ask me how did I just give up on relaxers? well it was easy....I just let it go!

Now even coming near my two year anniversary of having natural hair. I am still trying to find my holy grail products and complete routine. By August 15th (2 years) I will have it down pact :D.
