Thank you ladies for the compliments. :bighug:

Rnjones, I moisturize & seal my length only. I have a sensitive scalp and do my best to let the ng be. The night before a TU, I will base my scalp to help keep the tinglies down.
 
I'm thinking about texturizing early. I go back to work on the 18th and have conferences all week long the week after. I want my hair Laid for days that week. So here is the game plan.

I'm going to do a protein treatment with Spiral Solutions Protein Treatment this weekend (its my protein week, so this is actually perfect). I will then texturize on either the 19th (Friday) or the 20th (Saturday), blow dry, flat iron....blah blah blah. Swang' the week after and then go back to bunning like cray'. I will be texturizing at 12 weeks post vs. 13, but WHATEVE'S! What y'all think?

I just got inspired to stick it out for the entire 16 weeks until I learned I had a party to attend on the 27th and my birthday is on the 2nd so I'll be going in at 15 weeks instead of 16. Wanna see pics of that laid hair, girl...your hair is so pretty.

Yeah our summer breaks are pretty brief lol. The kiddo's don't come back until the end of August though. We come back a month in a half early to set up classes and prepare the children's files/caseloads and what not. We also have to do a couple trainings attend.

Girl you besta put those vits in rotation. I would probably take the flaxseed, fish oil and cod liver at different times. For example...put the flaxseed in rotation with the non-omega 3's supplements and when you're out of the flaxseed pop open the fish oil and so on.

GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you. Tell me why its would be better to take them the way suggested. I was thinking all at once because I'll remember but of course if i need a better healthier plan I'm with it. Do tell!

If you're taking the flaxseed, fish oil and cod liver for the omega 3 fatty acids benefits then you're virtually taking three doses of the same thing. Of course they each have separate benefits that are unique from the others. There is probably no harm in taking all three, I'm just talking from an economical standpoint. If you're not eating fresh fish and nuts then you may benefit from taking all...I'm not sure. I have plenty of fresh fish in my diet specifically for the fatty acids so taking a supplement may make little difference.

Makes sense. many will expire soon. i was only taking prenatals while pregnant. If I'm understanding you correctly there is no adverse effects so I'm cleaning them out and when its time to restock only chose one. Thank you so much!!!

You're welcome. I'm not sure if there aren't any adverse effects in taking all three full doses ...you'll need to research the maximum daily value to consume.

That is a good idea to rotate them. I currently take a fish oil supplement that is largely flaxseed oil with Omega 3-6-9, and also a cod liver oil supplement for the vitamin D and benefits that cod liver oil gives. Currently, I take both daily since I don't get enough Vitamin D or sunlight, and I definitely don't eat as much fresh fish as I would like. Maybe I will take one on one day, and one on another...that makes better sense both health-wise and economically. :yep:

THANK YOU for putting that bird in my ear...lol I hadn't thought about it until reading your posts.

I really wanna start taking krill oil and fermented cod liver oil instead.

Your mention of twist outs inspired me to do one. I've been bunning for the last couple of months, but at 13 weeks I figured I'd give it a go. I forgot how much I like them! Maybe I won't be relaxing this week...

Thanks! My 4 year old looked at me this morning and asked, "Why does your hair look like that?"

That's how long it's been since I've worn a twist out. He's used to it being straight or pulled back. Lol.

And for the spa bathroom look (among others) TJMaxx is my best friend...

Okay...since y'all insisted that I needed some SD and Nairobi in my life...and y'all know who you are...I got my SD yesterday and now my PJ collection is complete. Here's my review:

Nairobi Humecta sil: Love, Love, Love!
SD Go Moist poo: Love the scent, kinda watery, hair felt nice
SD Wheat Germ Condish: Ho hum, not really a fan, I'll use it up but probably won't buy again
SD Nourish Oil, Raspberry-lemonade: Love the scent, love the feel, definitely a keeper
SD Mocha Silk Infusion: Love the scent but I haven't used it yet
Nairobi Wrap Lotion: Haven't used it yet
Carol's Daughter Monoi collection: Love everything about this stuff...bought the samples while I was waiting for Silk Dreams and have already ordered full sizes-great prices on Amazon
