<br />
So it's been a year and some months since I last posted. Life has been crazy as we all have challenges that happens to us. More then others. I felt lost at a certain point with this blog which left me discouraged to do any more post.<br />
But being that I'm back to struggling with this dry and shedding knots I feel like I need to rant my struggle. It's been 28 months(2years+) since I big chopped and I'm not getting any results. I've research and tried recommended practices with no luck. So I've decided to revamp my product selection to just one line that targets my hairs need instead of picking from here and there. Now my routine hasn't changed much because I love to keep my process simple. I want to try a line from shea moisture since they target so many different concerns for the natural hair.<br />
<br />
Once I figure out which line I choose I will come back with an updated routine that I will stick with.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Guys</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay first off please forgive me for the lack of posts. I have started a new job working with babies and being that I have three kids of my own, I am extremely tried when I come home. Having to deal with my kids before work, then go to deal with infants, and then back home to mines. Not to mention I still have school work that needs to be done. But anyway, I am going to try to bring you a post or two a week and I will be starting off with a review.</div>

I hadn't washed my hair since the 1st of March when I clarified my hair using the new Neutrogena Anti breakage set. *Review* My hair had product on it but was a little dry. I used it that night on old hair and when I took my hair out the next morning the definition was excellent. Through out the day, from weather to kids grabbing my hair, my twist out was still in tacked. My roots frizzed up no doubt but my curls remained. That night when I got home I did notice that my hair need a moisture lift. This was from me not moisturizing my hair since I believe that Saturday and water is not in the list of ingredients on this product. I decided to use Camille Rose Naturals Curlaide before using the twist butter. When I woke up and took down my hair, my twist out was the everything. My hair stayed moisturized through the Nevada weather and going to work. I didn't need to reapply any thing that night I just simple put my hair in 12 large twist before wrapping my hair up that night. Friday morning my hair was still extremely moisturized like I just put the product in the night before. Only thing that ruined my curls was spraying it with a refresher. I haven't found a refresher that actually brings out my curls and not frizzing it up. Saturday night I washed my hair with my staple Ouidad for a cleanser, Curl Junkie for my rinse out, and then I used the Light Protein Hair Reconstructor for my deep conditioner. I did not use heat just put on a plastic cap and let it set for an hour. Once I did rinse it out, even though it is light, I had to rinse my hair twice to get the product out. My hair did absorb it well and being that it was a treatment it left my hair soft like a conditioner would. Once I was done coloring my hair I used Apohgee Leave-in and then seal with the twisting butter. OMG I CAN NOT TELL YOU GUYS HOW WELLLLLL DEFINED MY HAIR WAS!!!! The moisture level was off the charts. I just could stop touching or looking at my beautiful curls.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyaI3421NaRlO4AM47htMqHZ98rYeMUnzX_S43o0XuMLnZeUs8GEtQeBwJGW_1SG8UKEIFWxOFyiTze-R3KZ40ljvKZiufTVn0wY0f7URKbfAZXu6EkdvzeU4bdjclA6FNL3b42t3CI6eq/s1600/1394598243281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyaI3421NaRlO4AM47htMqHZ98rYeMUnzX_S43o0XuMLnZeUs8GEtQeBwJGW_1SG8UKEIFWxOFyiTze-R3KZ40ljvKZiufTVn0wY0f7URKbfAZXu6EkdvzeU4bdjclA6FNL3b42t3CI6eq/s1600/1394598243281.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a><span style="color: magenta;"> I love my products to have a sweet or perfume smell to it. That being said when I seen the label stating lemon cake I had to prepare myself. When I opened the jar I had to restrain myself from licking the jar. My mind confused it for a second with butter crème icing and I was about to go to town.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"> The feel of both of these products are extra light, like a air whipped type butter. When I initially opened the jars I felt like I would need to be generous with these products but I was totally wrong. My first use of the butter I just used the product that was in the lid and for the reconstructor I hardly put a dent in it.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Ms. Nik has developed a new label for her new brand of items so be on the look out for that.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Pricing for me is right in the range of the quality of the products. Being that they are all natural I expect the prices to be different then products that you by out of a regular store because they are not loaded with harmful ingredients.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Will I be purchasing again? Yes I would definitely like to repurchase the twisting butter. The smell alone won me over and the results of my twist out made me reach for it for the pass couple of days instead of my staple. The reconstructor was a little heavy for my hair because I have fine hair. A natural with a coarser texture I feel this product would be perfect for them. It preform the task it was meant to do by giving my hair the light boost it need and that was shown by how well my hair took to the coloring I did.</span><br />

This wash day was a Camille Rose Naturals kind of weekend using all staples.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I started off with CRN Creme Restore Conditioning Cleanser making sure to massage my scalp and working the cleanswr down to the ends. Washed that out. Next I detangled with CJ Smoothing Conditioner and also massaging my scalp for a minute or two. I rinsed that out with warm water to keep my cuticles open and squeezed out the extra water with my hands.<br />
For my deep conditioner I used CRN Algae Dee conditioner (the old formula). I left this on for more then 2 hours before rinsing it out. For my leave ins I sprayed my hair with ApHogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, coated with HoneyChile HairLove's Caramel Milk & Vanilla Bean Curl Taffy, and then sealed with CRN Curlaide Moisture Butter. Now it was my first time using it and I really didn't know what to do with it so I decided to revamp my LCO method and change the oil to a butter. I know your thinking this may be to heavy on my hair. I made sure to use a dab of each working it from root to tip!</div>

Lets get straight to it!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I rinsed my hair with warm water for a minute or two to lift up some of the dirty before Quidad Curl Co Wash through out my hair. Making sure to get to my scalp. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Right now I am at the point where I am tried of taking 5 minutes to make a decision on what I am going to use in my hair. I know what makes my hair soft and manageable so I'm really trying to use up things that I'm not using. So for my rinse out conditioner of choice that I use as a detangler was Shea Moisture Extra Moisture Conditioner. I left this on my hair for 3 minutes while I did a little finger detangling and then using my Tangle Teezer. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkLWiH41u_ht8BSkc0ihXbh0V5UyPmcYDUl0gcfEXvYkRcb0gSVqBc99RBbquUzyVtLcE4IoaOM8Q2kjekiFTggRf9_KYXQ5WJ2yoner8XUhIYU5FdKYl0GJHrmjwbF3LmqxUIJnbTAPnV/s1600/IMG_20140111_114112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkLWiH41u_ht8BSkc0ihXbh0V5UyPmcYDUl0gcfEXvYkRcb0gSVqBc99RBbquUzyVtLcE4IoaOM8Q2kjekiFTggRf9_KYXQ5WJ2yoner8XUhIYU5FdKYl0GJHrmjwbF3LmqxUIJnbTAPnV/s320/IMG_20140111_114112.jpg"></a>Once that was rinsed out I wanted to try my homemade deep conditioner that I am working on. I tried it on old hair but this time I wanted to try it on fresh washed hair with heat. I sat under the bonnet dryer for about 25 minutes before washing it out. My hair felt restored and slightly strong. My curls...well you can see in the pic to the right!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For my leave ins I used Shea moisture extra moisture conditioner. Followed by a newbie by HoneyChile HairLove. I know I contradicted my self because I'm trying to use up my stash. But I am still trying to find stylers which I have none of and you also know that I love deep conditioners which I feel you can never have to many of. So from first impression of the Caramel Milk & Vanilla Bean Curl Taffy, it not my socks off. One of my swap sisters sent me a couple of stylers to test out. One of them was Curl Junkies Curls in a Bottle. I'm guessing it is like a serum that holds your look together because the bottle states that it controls frizz and adds shine. I used it a couple of times and its was "mah" to me. Some other things that she sent to me that I gave more the 2 tries was Cream and Cocos Curls for Days & Chocolate Marshmallow Pudding. I tried both of these together, I tried them separately, I tried them on freshly washed hair, on old hair and all I can say is my hair did not like them. My hair was dry at one put after putting it on, then another it was to oily where I had to to wash my hair, it just seem to me that the product was sitting on my hair and not being absorbed. That was a huge no no! </div>

Making this my first makeup review and I'm so excited. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I was sent this set from iFabbo. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ifabbo">iFaboo</a> is a company that links beauty bloggers up with beauty companies. I ordered the set and within a week I had my very first Crown Brush set. <a href="http://crownbrush.us/">Crown Brush</a> is "recognized by the beauty industry as the global leader in cosmetic brushes with over 30 years of brush making experience."</div>

The Hd set comes in 3 different colors. Orange, purple, and white with blue tips which is the one I received. These brushes retail for 69.99$ but you can get them on SALE right now for 19.50$ right now off of their website. These brushes are made with high grade synthetic fiber, are vegan friendly, and are perfect for applying high definition cosmetics.</div>

<br /></div>

The packaging was very pretty with the logo on the front. The brushes were EXTREMELY SOFT. I mean I could not stop rubbing the brushes on my face because they felt so freaking good. I have a couple sets of brushes but these were by far the softest.</div>

Overall: Being that I am not a person that have tested and tried every beauty item out there I felt that this brush are good staple brushes. This set would would be great for a person needing a starter brush set because it provide the basic brushes need for doing makeup. The price is not bad and the are featured on <a href="http://www.hautelook.com/invite/Nbroderick500">Hautelook</a> with better deals if you feel that the price that I stated above is a to pricey.</div>

Hey</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is the first wash day of the new year so I want to start it off with fresh clean healthy hair. I know new year means new goals and my only goal for this year is to move out of this awkward stage. So I am focused on length! I want to try hair pills and will be doing my research to find which one will be best for me! Also I will continue to use up half used products in my stash so that I can clear out my shelves and only buy my staples. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
First pre pooing with the last bit of Ynobe Shop Pre Poo Treat I prepared my hair to be shampooed. I had this in my hair for about 15-20 minutes before washing it out.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I shampooed my hair with my staple shampoo Joico K-Pak Color Therapy shampoo. I did this only once making sure to get my scalp relly good. It has been a while since I washed my hair with shampoo and I can tell you I don't miss the stripped feeling. But I know that my hair is clean and ready for the new year.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Next using 4 Naturals Reconstructor I deep a protein treatment on my hair leaving it in for about 5 minutes and rinsed. This really left my hair feeling restored and back to its prior state.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
After that needing to balance my hair I used my staple moisturizing deep conditioner; Sitrinillah from Hairveda. I left this on for over a hour before rinsing it out in the shower. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I applied Jamaican Black Castor oil on my scalp. I want to go back to my past regimen when I did this religiously to see if this will also help in gain some length. For leave ins I used Hairveda's whipped creme ends hydration and seal with vatika frosting. For stylers I used Cream & Cocos original Curls for Days with Chocolate Marshmallow Pudding. My curls were again defined by this product but by the end of the day my hair felt extremely greasy. When I touched it my hand would shine so I ended up washing the combo out of my <u>hair.</u></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div dir="ltr">
How was your wash day? </div>

Tresemme Naturals original formula. When ever I am in a store I look in the back behind the new bottles of this product and sometimes find old bottles. So in this pic and the one at the bottom I lucked up. When I started my transition journey I didn't try this product but now that I'm full natural I wanted to give it a try.</div>

I recieved the three Almond Jai and Curlaide in a swap. But for the Hairveda I purchased on Black Friday. Now I was patient and received these a day after Christmas. Being that they are a small business and that I too will be starting my own I have to remember that large orders take time.</div>

Small Haul this time and I'm very pleased with myself. Did you do any Black Friday Shopping?</div>

Since I haven't been consistent with my wash day posts since I was so busy with school work. I wanted to telll you guys that I colored my hair last week with Dark & Lovely Vivacious red. Once I colored it I deep conditioned with Aubrey GPB Balancing Conditioner with out heat for about a hour, then used ApHogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, and then styled with Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
But for the wash days that I have not posted it has been the same routine with no new products. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This wash day I used my staple Camille Rose Naturals Creme Restore Conditioning Cleanser. I detangled with using Curl Junkie Smoothing conditioner and my new Tangle Teezer which I will do a review once I use it a couple more times. But I have used it on my daughters hair and it slid through her hair with ease. Now the rest of my wash day routine I used new things starting with Sarenzo Hair Conditioning Clay Mask which told me to use only a smal amount which I didn't listen to because of how heavy handed I am! But right away I was loving the tingling feeling! I'm upset with myself because I don't know how I skipped putting my leave-in. I guess I was to excited to use this next product. So I basically tested this product out on clean hair which was Cream and Cocps Curls for Days the original formula. I was lucky enough to get a sample of this because of various reasons why I have purchased from the vendor myself. My curls were defined but I wasn't really wowed because my cutls didn't really separate like I would have liked them. They clumped up. So on top of that I used Curl Junkies Curls in a Bottle. Which help to separate and give it a nice hold.</div>

<br />
I know I have been Missing In Action for the past couple of weeks. But I would like to let you know that finals are over and I will be back to post more reviews, hauls, and my regular wash day posts. I even went to share my hair growth. Just wanted to let you guys know that I am still here!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00120302152856453115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499218612711804261.post-85552632683627577752013-11-23T20:08:00.003-07:002013-11-23T20:08:32.407-07:00Wash day @ 19 Weeks post Big ChopHeyyy!<br />
<br />
Okay this morning I was on Facebook and someone posted Naptural85 Co-wash Method. Now that I have changed up my washing regimen to strictly co-washing through the winter you know I had to try it. So in her video she basically applies conditioner to her hair, then seals it with her oil mixture, and does a little detangling before pinning it up. She then rinses it out the conditioner, applies cold Aloe Vera juice, and then seals it with oil before rinsing it again.<br />
<br />
So for my wash day I applied my staple Ouidad Co-Wash cleanser to dry hair and then sealed it with my oil mixture. Okay once I rinsed it out after adding a little water to lather it up I realize okay this is just like adding extra oils to your conditioner to give you added slip. Don't get me wrong my hair smelled amazing, it did give it added softness, and the slip was definitely on point so I am not complaining. Once I rinsed that out really good my choice of rinse out conditioner/detangler was Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Conditioner. For DC I used Marie Dean Seaweed & Rice deep conditioner and since I was coating my hair with oils I coated this with my oil mixture which I left on for about 2 hours. Last I applied Hairveda Whipped Ends and styled with the Whipped Gelly. I was pleased with the out come but the shrinkage was off the hook!!<br />
<br />

Hey guys</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Let me start off by saying these health care classes are really kicking my butt. So I really apologies about the lack of post.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm so proud of myself. The past couple of weeks before & this week I have left my hair in a twist protective style. I did not touch my hair at all. When I went out with the girls I put on my half a wig and kept it moving! My hair stayed moisturized from the L.O.C. method using the Camille Rose Natural products. My hair felt to soft and not a rough or dry patch in site!!!! :) This wash day is the beginning of the month so I decided to clarify my hair since I have done it in a good while!<br />
<br />
Anyway here's how wash day went on Saturday 16 weeks post</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I shampooed my hair once with my Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat shampoo. Since this was the first weekend of the month I decided to clarify my hair since I haven't done do in a good while. After I rinsed the shampoo out I detangled with my Aubreys GBP protein treatment. I left this on for about 2 minutes. I wasn't really worried about bring the softness back into my hair because the shampoo stripped my hair but not the drying strip that I hate. Rinsed that out and tied my hair up in a cotton baby burp cloth. I did this just to soak up any excess water before smoothing my deep conditioner through my hair. I used my staple Hairvèda Sitrinilla intense moisturizing deep conditioner. I left this on for a couple of hours with heat and let me tell you this one never seems to fail when I used it. I love the fact that when it touches my hair it is instantly soaked up. Rinsed the conditioner out with cold water and applied my leave ins. Trying to use up the rest of my Camille Rose Naturals Cranberry hair & body lotion, I used this as my leave in. Sealed with a small amount of Hairvèda Vatika Frosting. Recently I swap some things for some new Hairvèda butters so that I can try them before Black Friday. So I used <u>the</u> Hairvèda's Herbal Green Tea butter which only kept my hair moisturized for 3 days. But it did leave a nice shine to my twist. If you follow me on IG you will see that I recruited Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai butter to my staples! <br />
<br />
Saturday 17th weeks post</div>
<div dir="ltr">
So the next week I used my staple co-wash Ouadid. Oh how I messed the way it felt in my hair. The softness it gives and the smell it brings! I haven't used it in over a month and thanks to one of my favorite swap sister. I am laced in my co wash for well into next year maybe more! Next I used FCA Naturals Invigorating Conditioner for my rinse out and detangler. Another great job was performed from this conditioner. Seriously thinking about adding it to my staples. For my deep conditioner I used Camille Rose Naturals Algae Deep Conditioner. When i first opened it I was taking back at how thick it was. It really looked like a regular sealant butter and not a deep conditioner. Now the one that I have is the one that is in the original packaging not the new one. So I really did know how it was because I first used the samples that I received in my prize from them and that one was really creamy. When I used it I was blown away again because of how moisturized my hair was. I was so soft and moisturized I couldn't keep my hands out of my hair. For leave ins I used my Camille Rose's Lotion and the Almond Jai Butter. I have been kind of changing up my moisturize and seal method by just cutting out the oil and using a butter instead. I found this to be easier on me and been giving my absolutely soft moisturized hair. Remember in a hair journey you have to do what's best for your hair and your hair will respond by growing. </div>

Friday @ 18 weeks post</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I decided to color my hair and choose to do it a day early so that I can have Saturday for my self. So I was my hair with a shampoo as directed on the label of my dye. I mixed FCA naturals shampoo & Shea moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo for the lather. I was really happy with the clean feeling that it left. The dye of choice I bought from Sally's and was recommended by the sales lady was Manic Panic in Pillarbox Red. First impression was okay the red came out darker then I wanted and it runs every time I wash my hair. This had never happened with the box dye's I used before so I was not pleased. Not to mention it took forever to rinse out of my hair. I skipped the conditioner and went straight to my deep conditioner. This week I used the last of my Giovanni's Moist Deep condition with hear for about 45 minutes. For leave-ins I used my sample of Hairveda's Whipped Ends and then twisted with the Herbal Green Tea Butter from Hairveda also. Loved this combination also!!!</div>

<br />
All week I have been planning on how I was going to go about washing my hair. Reason being is because 1. I recently won a full size Creme Restore Conditioning Cleanser from Camille Rose Naturals and 2. I did some swaps lately in my group and lucked up on more Camille Rose Natural products including the 2 Algae Deep Conditioner, Almond Jai Twisting Butter, and a Fresh Curl. I was too excited. So I had to plan to incorporate all of these in my wash routine and this is how it went:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXTkk-ACx8uXaYgLb3xGYpOFMMpywYT6Jsi7BVWE30qtzb2-YtcTy0CXBuNYES-C1e0ny7e148XwOVBs5DnFCDpU-vdqUL-8boWZSp66Ln-Tt2zpxZXE5kGfCjaYZxlNhyphenhyphenzpPidzbYEWF/s1600/IMG_20131026_201232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXTkk-ACx8uXaYgLb3xGYpOFMMpywYT6Jsi7BVWE30qtzb2-YtcTy0CXBuNYES-C1e0ny7e148XwOVBs5DnFCDpU-vdqUL-8boWZSp66Ln-Tt2zpxZXE5kGfCjaYZxlNhyphenhyphenzpPidzbYEWF/s320/IMG_20131026_201232.jpg" /></a>
<li>As directed I detangled before wetting my hair. Once I wet it I took a couple of squirt the size of a half a dollar and applied it to the front. Then did the same to the back. I massaged like directed but also detangled also. THE SLIP IN THIS CONDITIONER IS AMAZING!!! That is all. Rinsed that out in cool water.</li>
<li>Detangled some more with, which will now be a staple, Curl Junkie Smoothing Conditioner as my rinse out. I didn't really have to do to much because the cleanser did the majority of the work and I have never experienced that before. Rinsed out in warm water to prepare my hair for the deep conditioner.</li>
<li>Now I received 3 samples of Camille Rose Naturals Algae Renew Deep Conditioner. So I used those to test instead of the full size to see how it would react to my hair. 1st I am glad I had three because one would have not done anything. One pack was enough to cover about 1 and a half of a section of my hair. 2nd my hair sucked this conditioner up. It took extremely will that I didn't see a drop of the conditioner anywhere on my hair. Rinsed that out in Cold water after I took a shower and wrapped my head in a cotton t-shirt. </li>
<li>For a leave in I used Camille's Cranberry Hair & Body lotion. Sealed FCA Naturals Invigorating Hair Oil. Then as promised on the container I used Camille's Almond Jai Twisting Butter for my Wash N Go. I took my hair little by little and smooth it through my hair and the results were soft MOISTURIZED curls. It was not heavy at all. Really thoroughly whipped giving you a light hold.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Overall I was very pleased with what I used and can't wait til Black Friday so I can try more from this line. Can you see the shine in the pic below. I am truly pleased with this butter.</div>
<br />
Thanks for reading!!!<br />

Hi guys!<br />
<br />
I would really like you to join me on my journey as I try to shed some weight and the first step in changing will be my diet. Thus explaining my title! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTaErHNQkx3nfYEM4wox_duUEaY2AIL7S3gU-waG1Ge0WeWWD18sw" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTaErHNQkx3nfYEM4wox_duUEaY2AIL7S3gU-waG1Ge0WeWWD18sw" /></a>I remember the last time I had a McDonalds burger. (Sorry for the TMI) When the saliva in my mouth got it nice and soft to swallow. The felling of the chewed up burger in my mouth tasted disgusting and I instantly wanted to throw up. I know your say well that's just McDonalds burgers stop eating from there. Well I always wanted to cut out meat every since my grandmother did it and she retained healthy radiant skin. Being that I also what untilse a drastic amount of weight. I know this will be healthy to my body in so many ways. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>When did I decide this?</b> Well one night while laying in bed with hubby. I told him I wanted to go vegan. Yes it was a overnight thing. But I am a person that loves animals and do get teary eyed when I see the 'help the animals' commercials. From there I started to do research on how to become vegan and a good diet course that will help me to transition with out relapsing. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/48/18/3d/48183d547664f558c7bb61fb5b6c01b7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt=""but where do you get your protein?" - my least favorite question because it only further proves the influence/control the meat industry has over society." border="0" height="320" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/48/18/3d/48183d547664f558c7bb61fb5b6c01b7.jpg" width="320" /></a>I then started my research by typing vegan in on Google and tons of websites popped up. The most important thing that I collect from reading these sites is that, which I will be applying to my diet, to gradually add vegan meals into my diet because I can't tell you how much I am going to miss chicken. So I will start by substituting salads at lunch time. A lot of the articles that I read were very helpful by giving you sample recipes, a example meal plan, grocery lists, and even a vegan starter kit that I have received yet, but when I do I will share what is inside. I also went on Pinterest finding loads of pins about which foods gives you the most vitamins and minerals that are essential for your body. I know one thing that popped up repeatedly is to know that there is vegetarians, then there are raw vegans, and last there are vegans. A vegetarians mainly eats mostly plant based foods with no animal flesh but may consume some dairy products. Raw vegans eat their you can guess mainly raw meaning no additives or cooking. Lastly some vegans eat foods not made or produce from animals. Another question that must be popping into your head is <b>'Well if you not in meat where will you be getting your protein?'</b> Pinterest was helpful for providing information on where I can get protein else where besides meat like nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), leafy greens (romaine lettuce, kale, spinach), and chia seeds. Another question you may have is <b>'well all vegans do is eat fruits & vegetables there will be no variety?' </b>That is not necessarily true. Whilst browsing Pinterest I found plenty of delicious recipes and different foods to substitute meats.</div>

Places like Vitamin shoppe & GNC are a little on the pricey side also high in shipping being that I have a very limited income. I was contacted about a site that has all of your health needs in one place at a really low price and shipping is a flat rate of 4.95$. DEAL!!! <a href="http://myvitaminmart.com/"><span style="color: purple;">MyVitaminMart.com</span></a> has everything and I mean everything. They even have some all natural hair care products for our relaxed and natural sistas. One thing that stood out the most to me being that I will be starting a new diet is that they have a Dietary Restriction are that is specially for people that need to avoid certain things like dairy, gluten, or need to get products that are strictly for vegan this eliminates a lot of unnecessary searching. Now the downside to this website it that everything does not have a detailed descriptions that I know some people find necessary. Any I was able to get a coupon code for 5% off of your order until 12/15 Deal. Just enter Randomjamaican5 in the coupon area.<br />
<br />
I hope that you found this information helpful and will join me on another journey! Thanks for re</div>

<br />
When I randomly pop on to Facebook I sometimes caught a giveaway going on and for the past month I have been lucky enough to win a few giveaways. Well this one I believe was a trivia question that I had answered right. I completely forgot about it due to school work and was pleasantly surprise to get this package in the mail. I received the Invigorating Set which included a full sized shampoo, conditioner, and hair growth oil.<br />
<br />
My Initial review from looking at the products is that the package is plain. It is more wording on the label and a small logo in the corner. I love to see the company logo on the package so I can know what product I am using, if it was faded in the background underneath the wording it would give it more of a pop or bigger. I would be more familiar with it by seeing the logo. Here's how I used during wash day:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First pre pooing my hair with out heat for about an hour as I fixed breakfast. Making sure that I applied it liberally to my hair. Rinsed it out in warm water.</li>
<li>Next as directed I applied the shampoo directly to my scalp and massaged in not expecting a later. Now right off back the first thing that hit my senses was the strong scent of peppermint. My preferred scents a more of a floral or sweet. I'm not even a person that likes to each peppermint on the regular. It didn't have a lather just like the directions stated. But I did feel the peppermint open up my pores and my hair did have clean feel to it. Like most shampoos that I find out in the beginning I have amazing results, but then down the round my hair feels like straw. This shampoo did leave my hair nice and soft so that was a plus. The shampoo's second ingredient is water so that is exactly what the consistency is like. Water. Making it very easy to apply to my scalp in sections or what every way you would like. That is a plus plus!</li>
<li>Next the directions stated to apply a generous amount of conditioner to hair and work from root to tip. So that is what I did and my usual detangling process. The texture of this conditioner is like a thick frothy milk. Yes the texture of a milkshake. I can tell you that it had loads of slip. My shed hair's came out with ease. But a down side to it was that it also smelled strong of peppermints. Now I know that peppermints help promote hair growth but that is just one smell that is to strong for me. Hubby could smell me before I came out of the bath with was not a good thing from the look on his face. I left this on for about 4 minutes and the rinsed with warm water.</li>
<li>Next I deep conditioned with a staple. Shea moisture deep treatment masque for over a hour with heat. I love this deep conditioner is all that I can say.</li>
<li>Once that was rinsed out I wrapped my baby cloth around my hair to soak up the extra water before smoothing Shea moisture Moisture Retention Conditioner. I sealed it with the hair growth oil that came with the set. Again it smelled like peppermint. I love oils and after a few minutes when my hair started to dry I could hardly smell it anymore. Last I styled with As I Am Curl Jelly which went on fine and dandy, but once dried my hair was hard. NO Bueno! FAIL!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Overall I would like to use these products one more time to have a good sense on how I feel about the products.</div>

Blue Roze Beauty was featured in the first subscription box from Honey Bee Inspired Box Inc, that is how I was able to try the product before buying it. It was a full size item which is 8oz. Theses are some of the benefits of having a subscription box where you can get to sample a product line so you won't feel like your going to buy from them blind.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Strawberry Hibiscus Deep Conditioner- 8 oz: 13.99$</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ingredients:</b> Distilled w/ hibiscus & marshmallow root, Aloe Vera juice, Cupuacu butter, Tucuma butter, Horsetail butter, Bhringraj infused olive oil, Bentonite clay, Btms, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor oil, Stearalkonium Chloride honeyquat, fragrance, & preservative. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Promises:</b> strawberry hibiscus deep conditioner will intensely moisturize, repair and define your curls.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Strawberry hibiscus deep conditioner is made with cupuacu butter which is well known for its high fatty acid content which benefits dry, damaged hair while protecting moisture and leaving hair soft and silky.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Bentonite clay naturally nourishes the hair follicle, imparts sheen, and naturally enhances the curl pattern of hair.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<b>My Review:</b> I only was able to get 4 uses out of the 8 oz container which was not a plus for me. The consistency of this deep conditioner reminded me of lotion like in between thick and <u>runny</u>. I prefer my deep conditioners to be on the thick side. You know when you turn the container over it doesn't move. When it is thicker to me I feel that a little goes a long way and it doesn't take much to coat my hair. It did have awesome slip. Separating my curls with out me having to run my hands through it.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The smell of the deep conditioner was like freshly washed strawberry's. Every time I opened the container I could help but take a big sniff.<br />
My first time using was on freshly washed and conditioned hair. As you can see in the pic I applied it to half my head to see how my hair would take it. I was extremely please at how my curls started to define and absorb the conditioner. Each time I did leave it on for over a half an hour with heat because I would see better results doing it this way. After wards my hair always felt soft and even my color seem to pop more.<br />
Shipping is a flat rate of 6.95$ and customer service is very timely. I have had to talk to the owner several times and she seems very nice.<br />
<br />
<b>Will I be Re Purchasing? Even though I give it a A I am still on the fence about the amount I receive the price, and how many uses I get out of it. I did do a wonderful job of conditioning my hair.</b><br />

Hey Guys!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just wanted to share with you my recent haul. I am a product junkie and I can tell you guys straight up I can not go on a "no buy" because I love testing out new products, smelling new products, and see the results of on my hair from the new products. So I don't know when I will go in rehab. LOL. But these are the products I have gotten since last haul which was in May.</div>

<div>
Hi Ladies</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The not really is because I washed my hair during the week when I took my braids out so today I used a co-wash cleanser instead.</div>
<ol>
<li>Rinsed hair with warm water for about 5 minutes to try to get a good amount of any products I had on my hair and to open up my cuticles. Then used Bel nouvo Creamy Castor Custard as my deep conditioner for 45 minutes with heat. </li>
<li>Cleansed with my staple Ouidad Curl Co-Wash. Lathered it up really good making sure to massage my scalp to rid it of any products.</li>
<li>For my conditioner rinse out I used Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Conditioner. I also detangled with this in the shower and left on my hair for the remanded of my shower. </li>
<li>While still dripping wet I smoothed on my strands another staple which is Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner. Sealed that with about a quarter size of Hairveda Vatika Hair Protection Frosting. I have been using this for over a month now and have loved it every time I used it. For a styler I been working on making a styler for a couple of months now and yesterday finally got it the way that I wanted it. So I used that yesterday and today again to refresh my curls. I first spritz my hair with my spritz mixture and then raked the styler through my hair. Gave my hairs a few shakes and all I can say is YESSS! I love it.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Very easy co wash day like always. <b>How was your wash day I would love to know below! HHJ!!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that I am not transitioning any more but I wanted to tell you guys some tips I learned while transitioning to natural.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1. It is not wise to type your hair.</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2b-c9_ncctlqX5yxxQ62SHsIdo5wk6VtQlvSwCnQYqs6eaQonj5jCsa-jvpnKkh5wU6y_YAE1YwzSskKsPbctIuSl3EYBrizldCTBO8XP-ASfjKbNYL1WuorAsIokUCKqtLKVrK1g7zo/s400/Hair-Type-Chart.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now if you find that it helps you much and it works, keep doing it. But most time when you do and you find that your hair is not looking like others it just leads to disappointment. Believe me I'm not saying it is wrong but you could be chasing a dream down a endless road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. Do what's best for you and your hair.</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't let these veteran naturals tell you what to do with your hair. First of all it is YOUR HAIR! Your the one that has to live with it. Your the one that has to wear it on your head. Your the only one growing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. Being a "product junkie" is not necessarily a bad thing.</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/9b/72/a2/9b72a23f85bc36e9b3775e47d9db5545.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you go natural how are you to know what works for your hair and what doesn't. You'll have some things your hair loves, some things your hair hates and some things your hair will get use to. An then what? Things happen along your journey like being protein sensitive or being allergic to a certain ingredient. Yes I understand that is why you get samples but if you get samples form every product line of every one of there products, then you will become a sample junkie. An some companies don't even give you enough in their one little same pack so then you end up get more then one. All this just to see if you will like the product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">4. Read the Ingredients. </span></b></h3>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="250" src="http://www.hairloss.ir/files/filebox/struc2.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best thing to do for your hair and yourself is to read the products label. My advice would be to try and seek out all natural product makers, but if your unable to do that have to go to the locate store/beauty supply to pick up you everyday needs. Stop for a minute and go over the label. Those words that you have never heard of or are unable to pronounce may be bad for you. Now at the base of your hair stand is the bulb and what supplies the strand to grow is blood. If your opening up your hairs cuticles and letting harmful chemicals seep through then there going right to your blood stream. Which is potentially hazards to you and can lead to cancers or long term illness because these agents are not meant for those kind of use. Water should be the first ingredient or in the first couple of names. Water based products give your hair optimal moisture.</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">5. Water & Oil is your best friend.</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know they don't mix but in your hair journey they definitely do.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can have not a product in on your shelf. But as long as you have some rain water and oil your hair will be more then find. Oil is the perfect sealant be you relaxed or natural. Just make sure that they penetrate your hair and not just sit on top of it.</div>

<br>
Okay Okay. I know I am an product junkie because I took my braids out at only 2 1/2 weeks. TERRIBLE!! I don't know why but I really missed my hair. I missed looking at my curls and watching YouTube videos of my favorite naturalistas running their fingers through the luscious curls. That was definitely not happening. I got to tell you that taking them out was nice and easy so I will be purchasing the hair again. I was able to take them out within a half an hour. While I was detangling I noticed that my hair was extremely soft and well moisturized.<br>
<br>
Now once I took them out here is what I did:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Shampooed with Joico K-pak Color Therapy Shampoo. Once really well massaging my scalp to clean the dirt that was at the base of my braids.</li>
<li>Next I used Curl Junkie's Curl Assurance Smoothing conditioner as a rinse out. Even though my hair was already detangled very good. This had good slip, but I will still be trying it again next wash day to see how it works when I haven't detangled before hand.</li>
<li>Deep conditioned with Marie Dean Seaweed & Rice deep conditioner. I left this on for over 2 hours with out heat. But I was cooking in the kitchen so I know I generated some body heat to warm my hair up.</li>
<li>Only squeeze out the excess water I then used Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Conditioner, sealed with Hairveda Vatika oil, and the styled with a sample pack of Edens Body Works Coconut Shea All Natural Pudding Soufflé. </li>
</ul>
<div>
I loved how my curls were defined with this pudding. Once it was dry which took about 2 hours maybe more. I twisted it up for the night. I have A LOT of pillow packs so I will be trying to use them to see how they work on my hair. I'm thinking I maybe reinstalling my braids for the fall because I love how soft and moisturized my hair. The below pic is how my hair turned out after taking out my twist today!</div>

Hi Ladies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it is been a while since I did a post but school life is extremely time consuming and with 2 toddlers. That doesn't make the experience any better. Being that I started to convert my staples to more all natural lines I think it would be best to start using other things that are all naturally for a more healthy life style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img1.etsystatic.com/013/0/7531490/il_170x135.444443081_c1r8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rock Road Natural Soap" border="0" height="254" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/013/0/7531490/il_170x135.444443081_c1r8.jpg" width="320" /></a>So this post will be a review on my last Random Spotlight. I received these soaps as a gift from one of the lovely group of ladies I associate with on Facebook. It was a complete surprise and thought I had ordered something but when I seen that it came from right here in Vegas I know that it had to be from someone else. I truly enjoyed featuring Mrs. Marcy on my blog and I am overly excited to be bring this review to you of her soaps. Being that her soaps are natural I don't know where to begin on the skincare benefits you can gain from switching to handmade soaps vs. store brands. <b>But here are a few:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Handmade soaps are Chemical free</li>
<li>Handmade soaps carry moisture retaining properties</li>
<li>Handmade soaps carry anti-oxidants</li>
<li>Handcrafted Soap Offers Healing & Curative Properties</li>
<li>THE SMELL, THE SMELL. THE SMELL........</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Natural Body Soap 5 for the price of 4: 20$ Price also varies from 3.50$ to 50$ (depending on what you get)</b><br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Promises, Directions, & Key Ingredients</b><br />
<i>Pink Sugar</i>: This bar is just what the doctor ordered. . Made with YOGART & VINEGAR scented with Pink Sugar mixed with Blue Sugar . This bar will combat odors leaving you fresh and clean. This is all over bar too.</div>
<div>
<i>Fruit Loop:</i> This Delicious bar of soap is full of fun. A play on a favorite childhood cereal. This bar has great lather and lots of moisturizing skin loving oils. Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil and Palm Oil.<br />
<i>P.S. I Love You:</i> We can't forget the man in our life this s a very manly fragrance and because they have dry skin this soap has 10 oz Shea Butter per 3 lb loaf that will produce a rich creamy lather while moisturizing his skin. He'll never use your soap again.<br />
<i> Rocky Road</i>: This soap has Cocoa Butter, Coco Powder, Marshmallow oil and, Marshmallow Root . It smell like a rich brownie making it hard to resist smelling over and over. The Ricky Road Bar leaves your skin smooth and very moisturized.<br />
<i>TWA:</i> Another addition to my girly bar line of soap. This bar is simply a beautiful white bar of soap no fragrance needed only additive is vinegar.<br />
<i>Neutrogena:</i> Wonderful bar of soap olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and a little castor oil for rich bubbles.. Super fated with Shea Butter.<br />
<i>Nevada Rain:</i> This delightful bar soap is over 5.5 oz and had lots of wonderful skin loving oils. With a swirl of spirulina. Ingredients include 20% Shea Butter and Nevada Rain, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil.<br />
What makes this soap stand out from the crowd is RAIN WATER I collected myself to ensure purity. Rain water is naturally soft water. Water is made hard by the dissolved minerals in it like magnesium, calcium, iron etc. which rain water does not have if harvested correctly.<br />
This soap has the most beautiful soft lather your skin will love you for it..<br />
<i>Cup Cake Lotion:</i> 8 oz lotion. Olive Oil Shea Butter, Soybean Oil, Grape seed Oil, and Castor Oil, Vanilla, Pink Sugar, Patchouli, Lemon, Blue Sugar.</div>

<b>My Review</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What I received was 5 soaps, 2 samples of her newest soaps, a sample of her Cup Cake Lotion, and a body oil. The soaps where TWA, Fruit Loop, Rocky Road, Pink Sugar, Neutrogena. My samples where of her tow newest additions called Nevada Rain & P.S. I Love You. I want to get a full size bar of Nevada Rain because not only does it smell heavenly I know that she goes up & beyond putting effort into her products. You see it hardly rains in Nevada. Sometimes it is short bust of a down pour, then next thing you know the sun is out and you miss it. Then there are times when there is a down pour so strong that there is a flood watch and you have to stay indoors. Now I never used handmade soaps before and was doing some research on who to buy from during Black Friday. Getting this load really broke my handmade soap virginity and I am also happy that it was from Mrs. Marcy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As you can see to the picture to the right and below that these are some thick pieces of soap. Every one of my soap was a very hefty weight of 5 oz or more. So I know theses soaps will last me long past December maybe longer, but I will still be stocking up. The price in the US is a flat rate of 5.60$ for over a 1 lb and anything less then that is 3.50$ which is not bad at all. You can get all the soap you want no matter the weight and it is one rate. The soaps came pretty green wrapping paper with the name of each soap on the outside. I also received a pretty red lace soap bag to hold my soap. But since these bars are so big all of them could not fit in a bag so I had to put them in a box instead.<br />
<br />
I first started using the fruit loop soap because the smell was out of this world. I mean it was so bad every time I walked passed it I had to pick it up and take a huge sniff of it cause it smells that good. Another thing about natural products is that *EVER BATCH VARIES*. In other worlds one batch may have a slight different color change, or the consistency may not be as thick or as light, or the smell may not be as strong. The reason I say this that my fruit loop soap, although it smells fantastic, didn't lather as strong as my TWA soap. The TWA soap lathered up soo well and I only had a little slice off of my huge bar. This is my first time using these kind of soaps so I didn't know if that was a normal thing or not. So when I asked Mrs. Marcy (who responded back extremely quickly) she told me that the TWA had a longer cured time then the Fruit loop loaf so that explained a lot. Being that the TWA is a all over bar I was glad that I didn't have to worry bout if it was going to harm the lady down stairs, but she was fine. My skin after using both soaps felt really soft. More so when locking in the moisture with the body oil. The next day my skin was not dry and ashy like the next. This rarely happens because once you lay in your bed all that work in buttering up your skin is gone! I loved the presentation of the oil which still had pieces of herbs floating in the bottle. Knowing that it is still being infused as it is sitting on my shelf makes my skin happy(lol). This oil smelled just like the cup cake lotion but a little lighter. Now let me tell you about the lotion. It is like a body butter in a lotion bottle. That bad boy was thickkkk like I like it, but still smooth on like a lotion.
