Mine....j/p

LOLL my aunt adopted a baby, so it's my little cuz Reed! He is too cute.

Oh he is just too cute! I want to bite him!

I have SOOOO much gray hair. Mind you I haven't dyed it since February or something like that. I have to dye my hair tomorrow, but I don't know if I should do it while its curly or if I should rollerset it first. Its hard to part my hair when its curly.

 

[Ltown]

Anybody Doin' their Hair this evening??????

I just returned from a quick trip to Stashville....Things are looking good.

I'm overnight conditioning with oils(wheat germs, almond, avocado, camillina) and NTM.

If you can get the laser surgery it is so worth it. I got it in February and I wake up every day thanking god for this opportunity to have my sight back.

Otherwise I have some 5.25 brand new contacts, but they are sapphire blue. if you want to experiment with some color. I too had an aweful asigmatism. Not any more... Whew hew. Light sensitivity I had for forever gone. Whewhew.... nah but let me know, they are new!

Great investment and tax write-off. I'm in my 40's and had it done 2 years ago still seeing 20/20.

Just from the build up in the hair, unless you are cowashing every day. You have to "juice up" every day for that challenge. I want to be able to touch my hair without my hand getting sticky or greasy. But that's just me.

I used only s-curl for the last part of the summer last year and it wasn't bad at all. I didn't use alot just spritzed my hair with water and put a little juice in my hair. And my hair wasn't greasy, i showed a pic on here too, it looked shiny but to the touch it wasn't bad. My hair drank it up because that hot sun took alot out of it. I don't remember if i used it everyday but i did baggie with it. Eta i think every 3 days. Everyday if you saturate would be too much.

All Night?

 

[La Colocha]

All Night?

All night mama that's third shift for ya. I will work 9:30 at night until 6 in tha morning. Ive went from 1st to 3rd to 1st to 3rd in less than 2 months. Im tired but i keep going. Haven't really had a good nights rest in a long time. I will sleep when im dead, probably won't get any sleep then.

 

[mkd]

Charz, lasik was the best $3000 I have ever spent. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Brownie, did your package come?

 

[Optimus_Prime]

I want to go sniff my conditioners...this time I wont break a toe.

I missed the story... how did you break your toe by sniffing conditioners?

Do you have to apply the dye to dry hair only? If you can put it on wet hair, then you can dc first and it should be easier to part your hair while it's wet and freshly conditioned.

You can write Lasik off on your taxes?
How did you do that?

I had just woken up and for some reason I felt the urge to smell conditioner. I was still groggy as I walked over to the conditioner, that should have been when I stopped. I tried to open the door with one hand with the conditioner in the other . I slipped, tripped and practically ripped the toenail off. Blood was everywhere and I hit the floor. My toe went numb, then my entire foot went numb and all I could do for the next 2 weeks was limp. I stopped by the health center on campus and they said it was broken and that they couldnt do anything about it. They wouldnt give me crutches becuase there was still ice on the ground and knowing my luck I would probably mess up my other foot.The nail has grown back though.


All this for Suave Fresh Mountain Strawberries conditioner.

 

[Optimus_Prime]

natura87,

...whoa.



Glad you feel better.

I told my mom,she laughed at me and said "Girl, just sit down. Nothing is worth you losing a foot. Its not that serious."

I wont multitask with conditioner anymore. I have learned my lesson.

No im low on seniority so when people want to change shifts im the one to be moved. Im going to have to start threatning folks in the parking lot after work.

 

[chebaby]

hello everyone
today i had a bangin wash and go with be curly of course lol. i sealed with vatika frosting.
i co washed with suave coconut mixed with aveda scalp benefits, jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, evoo and a ton of honey. i loved it.

i also got in the mail the natures brew hair butter and so far i love it. its ver soft and buttery but i hate the smell. it doesnt stink, it smells like grape fruit but i can smell the tea tree oil and it is yuck.

 

[La Colocha]

The pony will not work, it was good while it lasted. I tried to part my hair so i can wash it and whoo lawd, talk about rough. The hair on the inside was getting no moisture. Dry and matted.

@ chebaby, you always be finding stuff.

 

[chebaby]

lol i came accross it at the baltimore expo but she ran oout so i ordered it and im glad i did. so far it is great.

 

[Shay72]

Shay, how do you like that Gleau Oil?

That Claudie's Moisturizing is a definite repurch. for me, as well. The protein, also.

This will be my first time using it so I will let you know. Your avi reminds me that I need to change mine for spring.

 

[robot.]

my stash is exactly where i want it to be. i just need to use up this one DC. i also have 9 bottles of sabino, which i don't need, so i'll probably sell.

*i "gifted" away the rest of that junk*

but i have most of my "staples" banged out and sample sizes are my best friend.

 

[Day36]

Robot, why wont you use the Sabino? Didnt work well for your hair?

OT: saw your post in boingboing's thread and just wanted to say that I use Alba products too. But, I have used the cleansing milk, the scrub she posted, and the sea moss moisturizer. I love them. Constant use of the products (along with rotating my own mask) has helped my face greatly. I think Shay uses them too.

not that i won't use them, but i think i might have too much. i have a twa now, so i don't straighten, and i plan to chop again, so i won't have ANY hair to worry about straightening.

idk, i just feel like i have a lot. i hope i LOVE them when i straighten for the first time (however far off that might be).

and thanks re the alba products. is the cleansing milk thin like milk? i have a milky cleanser now and i love it but it is reeeeally expensive. it's a thick in a weird way - a little thinner than jelly and i really like the consistency.

 

[Day36]

LOL @ you and your bunch of sabinos when youre about to get a baldie. lol. I think youd look gorgeous with it though. Whatever you choose to do, I think youll be alright.

It is a milk consistency. Well, not really. LOL. It's thinner than jelly but not as thin as cow's milk IMO. I think you'd appreciate it. It's about $9.99 @ whole foods for about 6oz if I am not mistaken. I like it. I dont use it every day as I also do masks and scrubs. I bought it in October and still have a good month or so out of it. It is very gentle on my sensitive, dry, acne prone skin. Yes, my skin is confused.
Oh and a cheap alternative cleanser is AV jelly, honey, and olive oil. I do masks with this mixture. I aim for 3x a week (alt with scrubs), but you know how that goes.

while doing my weekly saturday mask, i was just thinking to myself... i'm glad i stopped trying to make/mix junk. i realized an important part of sticking to a reggie is accessibility. if i have to go out of my way to make something (and make it often), the less inclined i'll be to do it, especially when there are a lot of ingredients. last year, i had a mask with everything but the kitchen sink.

but i do like homemade fixes and each week i do a handmade scrub and mask and they've been great to my skin. and i take off my makeup with an olive oil and jbco mix i keep in a little bottle. and things where i do have to worry about preservatives get a from me.

i have been hearing really tempting things about the AVG, though...

 

[Day36]

I got a big bottle from cvs and just use it for everything dealing with my face. I put it on before my moisturizer; I use it in my mask; I randomly put it on if my face is dry. LOL. I have dry skin so I need to keep moisturized else my skin cracks and breaks out. I didnt like it on my hair though. lol. Girl, maybe your cheap alt is just using olive oil as a cleanser (maybe with a bit of nonalcoholic witch hazel mixed in?)? Sometimes I'll put on my mask for a bit and then baby carrot food for the vit c, & antioxidants and I'm good to go. But, of course, all of this is on a dry-skinned face. I wouldnt want you to end up an oil slick if you have oily skin.

You are not alone, I have eczema the grand daddy of dry skin. Winter is the worst time for me.

Morning,
My 6 year old just got his first bout of eczema, I gave him an oatmeal bath and I now have to keep cortizone in the closet. I also have him use Oil of Olay which helped my other son and his has yet to return. It soothed his eczema so far and I am just waiting for the scaley look to go away.
