I had MPFL reconstruction surgery. Basically I'm so flexible that my knees would dislocate. They took a donor archellis heel ligament and replaced my stretched out one by screwing it in place. I got my right knee done in Dec and just got my left one done in mid June.

I think that next year with fashion purchases that I am gonna shop 90% at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. Their customer service is impeccable and I really like their rewards program and perks. I swear customer service and quality products mean a lot to me. Sometimes you get what you pay for and Nordstrom will let you exchange and return stuff even if you've worn it many times if the product rips or something like that.

I really am just trying to consolidate my shopping in general, that's why I'm sticking with two lines, Curl Junkie and Qhemet Biologics.

Yea, me either. I loved her Camelia Kissi oil on my face but hell, I just started ordering cameliavseed oil and adding my own pink grapefruit EO cuz that's all it is. The other products I ordered weren't life-altering.

divachyk I see my response didn't po
st but to answer your question, I buy the Flowerbomb hair mist from Nordstrom or Sephora. Pink Sugar I get from Sephora.

Sooo, about the hat and the wine tasting... we lasted all of two hours before I hat to call it quits. It was piss hot :lol: Boo sent me a text (even though he was standing right next to me) and said "On second thought, the hat is classy." Boy hush :lol:
 
Hey PJs! :giggle: How Ya'll Doin'?

Nothing up. Moisturized with Claudie Coffee & Quinoa #1. May Seal with Tiiva in a bit.:look:

I hope all that Crazy Haulin' is outta my System for a coupla' weeks.:spinning:

This Month was pretty bad.:nono:

I'm hoping my foolishness has stopped too :look:. I did warn ya'll I would act a fool but seriously :nono:. The sad thing is I want one more thing but I ain't gonna do it. I'm trying to hold out til Labor Day at least.
 
I feel you @Shay72 I've spent a grip and this is just the 10th.:sad:

I keep saying I'm not interested in buying/trying any "New" Vendors but here I have Camille Rose stuff on the way.:rolleyes:

Not to mention those purchases with Tiiva.:look: It really does hafta' stop and soon.:ohwell:

Imma try to hold off until the Labor Day Sales too, but I can't make any promises that I will or can (which is really very sad).:nono:
 
Hey IDareT'sHair nothing much going on today. I put my twist in a small bun for today. I think since I'm narrowing down my staple lines I'm less inclined to just buy. Right now my staple lines are HV, QB, CJ (online) and SM and tigi (on the ground). I do have a couple of products thAt I like from other lines, but my staples include more than 2-3 things my hair loves. There are still some online vendors I want to try, but I'm gonna need a nice sale and cheap shipping to order.
 
13StepsAhead The Haulin' got away from me this month. Totally Outta Control.

Especially the "new" stuff. I don't mind reupping on my regulars, but I'm really tryna' limit 'new' items.:ohwell:

That Camille Rose stuff was a total impluse buy. But I hope I like it. It's just Conditioners so I should be able to use those w/no regrets.:perplexed

I will 'forge ahead' with my Personal Campaign to use up 25 products by Labor Day Weekend, but Lawd I gotta quit adding stuff.:lol:

@hannan I still think $14.00 for an 8 ounce Jar is a bit much for a New Company.

I think Enso has Excellent Price Points. IMO: They are right where they need to be price-wise.:yep: Even Better with their Sale.:grin:

However, this wasn't bad with the 30% discount. So, I'll take that into consideration should I decide to order again.

I'll use it again next wash day. I have 2 Jars and ordered another. So, I'm good.

I gotta get back on my Jasmine tho'.:look:

@chebaby Oh I didn't know that. @Ltown So,Disregard my Post:perplexed

Click to expand...

IDareT'sHair @ the first bolded you keep saying that
@the second bolded. I need to try this. I just saw that on the left sided of my temple my edges are gone! I dont think its the way I wear my scarf under my wig. The doc said it could be from the anemia. My level was super low.

I am feeling a lot better. I just needed some blood.... Don't like the way that sound, but I had a n transfusion done.

I also went to a party with my sis last night. I will post a pic for you ladies.
 
13StepsAhead 13, when is your next hair day? I'm tryna' put together my Regi for Tuesday. :yep:

Tryna' get a good product line up. I will Steam again with Tiiva tho'. Hope to finish up something too.:ohwell:
 
IDareT'sHair Girl he said they can look but can't touch! I wanted to get out of the house after being in there for too long.

I did my hair yesterday. Don't have any hair plans for a few days. I need to start thinking of a Fall regi
 
IDareT'sHair well since I'll be out if town for work I'm gonna try to get these twist to last until Friday. Then I'll do a twist out and do my hair on sat or Sunday. If this works out I may stick to this, while using my moisture spritz daily. Knowing me inaugural incorporate a mid-week co-wash/DC.
 
I do the same regi year round. So nothing to really think about here.I cowash 6 days a week, dc 2x/wk, do a full out wash day one day a week. My only style is some version of a wash & go. Meaning I fully wear it out or my pull it back in a bun or puff. I moisturize & seal 2x/day. When my hair is wet I use a spray leave in , followed by a creamy moisturizer, then seal with a serum. At night when my hair is fully dry, I moisturize with a grease, pomade,or butter and seal with a serum or oil. Oh yeah, I oil rinse about 3 times a week. Basically do a overnight HOT then in the morning rinse and cowash.
 
This is going to be really random :lol: but... If I may wax poetic here for a moment, ladies...

I have been feeling so amazing, I just have to share. :grin: I walk around with a huge smile lately and I know it's because I really began to clear my mind and focus on myself this summer. I deleted my facebook and twitter and decided I was really going to take advantage of this beautiful summer.

Everyday I wake up early to exercise (got a late start today, so I went out for a nice jog/run), take a shower, and eat a healthy breakfast. Changing just these three things in my life have done wonders for my attitude. I feel so sexy and accomplished after I've exercised, I feel myself sweating out all the toxins and negative energy and thoughts (that's why I love to start the day with a good sweat!)

Then, when I hop into the shower, I really focus on scrubbing every inch of my body, complimenting things about myself and noticing how my skin is improving/glowing/etc and I express gratitude for my body. Everyone has something they wish to change about themselves. While you may be wishing for someone else's toned arms or slim shoulders, someone else is probably wishing they had your cute butt or charming smile. :yep: So instead of wishing for something, I express gratitude and pamper what I do have and this makes me feel so beautiful and confident.

For breakfast, I have a nice bowl of oatmeal with coconut oil, a piece of toast with honey and applesauce and a fruit cup. When I have a good breakfast, I feel ready to face the day and it also really helps me to watch what I eat later in the day. I don't want to "ruin" all my hard work by heading to Mc D's or eating a candy bar. Now I always keep some healthy snacks on hand: pretzels, graham crackers, organic popcorn, etc.

I feel like all these physical changes do wonders for my mind as well. I've been so giggly and happy and enthusiastic lately! I had a wonderful week despite several disappointing turns and I took each of them in great stride. I am grateful and learning from all my mistakes and disappointments and wake up the next day happy. Taking so much pride in my body really helps me to take pride in myself as a whole and I'm out doing things and making decisions that show that I respect myself. I just feel like I've been radiating such love and good energy that when something good happens to me, I'm not surprised because I deserve it! I am thankful, of course. :lol: But I know that good things are coming to me because I am putting good things out into the universe.

There's so much more but I really wanted to share with somebody. :lol: I feel so radiant and amazing and I really can't contain it. I am in love with myself and the life I'm creating. :kiss:

Hope I didn't sound too hippy. :lol: Just to keep this on topic... I'm going to wash my hair and do some coils today while cleaning/relaxing around the house. I hope everyone had a glorious week and is enjoying this beautiful Sunday.

hey everyone
im so upset ive been out all day. i hate going out on sunday, thats my rest day even if i rested all day saturday:lol:
so i did my hair early today and the products i used are completely different than what i thought i would use before. i overnight oiled with vatika oil, cleansed with daily fix, detangled with smoothing lotion, conditioned for 10 minutes with hibiscus and banana deep fix, and used hibiscus and banana honey butter and smoothing gellie as my stylers for my braid out.
i hope it turns out nice. if it doesnt last all week then ill just cleanse with ASIAN cleansing conditioner, condition and wear a wash and go for the rest of the week but i really want this to last at least 3 days.
