REST IN PEACE WHITNEY!!!!!!!

RANT - BATH & BODY WORKS KILLED WILD HONEYSUCKLE

BATH AND BODY WORKS HAS TICKED ME OFF AGAIN BUT I CAN'T STOP SHOPPING THERE, LOL:  Okay so it wasn't online, then I went to the actual store searching for it only to be told they had discontinued it. Anyone who buys body fragrances from Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret is well aware that "discontinued" is a curse word......or in my case makes you wanna cuss. Did they do any kind of research before cancelling Wild Honeysuckle? I'm beginning to wonder if there were some Legal issues surrounding this particular scent because I could think of several scents currently on B&BW shelves that deserve to go away.

I guess now I'm stuck waiting to see if its coming back for the semiannual sale with the other fragrance misfits.  Lets not forget that they dealt one blow before with this scent when they discontinued the original Honeysuckle. So when they released Wild Honeysuckle I settled and it grew on me.....and now even that's been ripped away.......guess I better hold on to what I still have......ooooooh I'm so heated I could cuss......*&S*S)S_S_S(*&A%^S&!!!!!!!!

YES - ITS BEEN A LONG TIME.......BUT ITS BAAAAAACK!! THROWBACK FRIDAYS!!!!

TONY TONI TONE - LIVE INSTRUMENTS COMBINED WITH EXCELLENT  VOCALS....PLEEEEEEZ BRING THEM BOTH BACK....WE NEED IT BAD RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

PRENATAL VITAMINS - TAKING THEM EVEN AFTER YOU'VE GIVEN BIRTH?

So my whole pregnancy I've been taking prenatal vitamins and my nails have been super strong, yeah I know about the pregnancy alone making your nails beautiful. Last week I stopped taking them and noticed that my nails were losing color and getting that "see through" look. Again, yeah I know about the changes you go through after giving birth. I wondered if continuing to take the vitamins would bring my nails back to life and you know what, it did!! It took them back to the way they were when I was preggers!! Yaaay!! I didn't take any special brand, as a matter of fact I just took the CVS drugstore brand and alot of times they have a buy one get one free sell on their store brand items, so I saved money too. Now isn't that what we're all trying to do right about now :}

MY QUICK "NEW MOM" HAIR DO

So my baby girl is two weeks old and I still have to get up early and drop off the eight year old pumpkin at school each morning. I have no time whatsoever to fool with my hair. Since funds are tight (Christmas + new baby + credit card goals = tight budget) braids are not an option right now. My good old stand by and one of my favorite protective styles is ready to save the day.

Just ordered and received a huge bottle of aloe vera gelly and am waiting on my triple pack of rosewater. I plan on mixing in a spray bottle the rosewater, aloe vera gel and some glycerin. After a co-wash (with some Mane N Tail or V05 Strawberry moisture milk) I'll just spray the mixture onto my hair and then apply a dab of Elasta QP Mango Butter. To style I'll crunch my hair with my fingers while its still damp and then pin it up with some bobby pins and let it air dry. This is my favorite protective style for the summer but I'll be rockin' it during maternity leave and possibly for the next few months.

Must give props where its due, got this idea from Keep It Simple Sista (K.I.S.S)

 

READY TO TEXLAX

I'm eight weeks post and loving how thick and full my hair is and how well my curl's hold...................HOWEVER..................I do not like how thick and unmanageable my roots are right now. I could really go for a relaxer but I'm not looking forward to the bone straight look and falling curls. So what now? I'm really interested in texlaxing (intentionally under processing hair), I think it would tame my roots and still let me retain body. I'm still debating if I should buy a "kiddie perm", thin out a regular relaxer with EVOO, simply use my normal product with a shorter processing time or a combination of these techniques. Once I figure that out I'll be ready to roll!

LENGTH VS HEALTH

Initially when I started to take better care of my hair by buy purchasing better products, deep conditioning weekly and stretching in between relaxers, my main goal was centered around length. Well that's out the window since I was getting no where. I reevaluated and realized I want healthy hair first. So I trimmed my hair......I mean really trimmed it. I didn't want to but holding on to uneven ends was silly. Once I evened my hair out I saw a big difference. My ends seem to feel better not just because they were freshly trimmed but they also LOOKED better and we're talking 3-4 weeks later. So now I'm sporting healthy hair and I'm retaining length....mission accomplished!!

STRETCHING - IS FOR SOME, BUT NOT FOR ME

Stretching is NOT for me. My last relaxer was October 2009 and I just relaxed this past Tuesday. I so missed my hair and the ease of wearing it out. When I was stretching, the days that I wanted to wear my hair out I had to use so much heat and so much product to get the results that I wanted and don't forget that one workout and my hair reverted. Today I had my car windows down and it felt so good to feel my hair literally blowing in the wind, to feel that breeze hit my scalp. So again, its for some but not for me, however, I will say that I can go more than 8 weeks at a time now but will NEVER stretch it to six months again.
