KAYGAN is TWO

Two years ago, I got one of the best SURPRISES MY first BORN daughter Kaygan Renee was born at 6:36am after only 4 DRUG-free relatively easy hours of Labour. Even after Graduating Highschool and College with a double Bachelors' Degree I will say that SHE is the one of the BEST things that I have EVER made or accomplish...
My lil girl's smile can Brighten anyone's day and when she looks up at me and sayd "mommy" no matter what my heart melts....Kaygan Mommy' LOVES YOU





***her sister Jayla is just as cute too..but I am a lil BIASED!!!

WHEW ...I MADE IT

To me it seems like I've been waiting for my hair to GROW forEVER..truthfully though its only been about 2 months..but when I digress and think about my Chemical days I remember that in all its been my whole life..I look at pictures from when I was young and I had LONG, Pretty THICK hair that stayed din plaits and twists because my Aunt Pat (REST IN PEACE) used to spend all day Friday doing all the girls hair. IT wasn't until I was about 8 or 9 and back with my MOM full time that i received my chemical introduction..(***For those of you who don't know or didn't know...I'm an Army brat both of my parents where in the Army..which meant that me and my sisters spent alot of time with extended family members while our parents where stationed elsewhere***)
MY mom is a SELF PROCLAIMED tomboy..she has the THICKEST BLACKEST hair that I have ever seen and guess what she loves to keep it short..(Oh the IRONY)

When I first started this Journey I KNEW that it wouldn't be easy and that it would take all of my patience. I never expected to ENJOY the JOURNEY as much as I felt I'd joy the end result. LOL...Man has it been a ride

GOTTA Try this....LOTION

Its ALMOST winter time: Time for dryness to start looming...I found this collection at BATH and Bodyworks and it is amazing....
It smells HEAVENLY...very thick and moisturizing



Bath & Body Works introduced the Shea Cashmere collection in autumn 2008. The collection is part of the True Blue Spa line and features high end, modern spa packaging.

The line includes Shea Cashmere Foot Cream, Body Lotion, Hand Cream, Body Cream, Bubble Bath (love the cozy packaging!), and Shower Cream. Accessories include The Perfect Cashmere ballerina slippers, knit bears, and luxe robes.

BBW currently has the Shea Cashmere collection on sale at their website, and eBay has something for everyone from the luxurious line.

Alas to I found a cheap pair of pink boots to wear with my peri.....try amiclub.com

Word to the wise...these boots are comfortable and cute but they are thin and kinda hard to get on!!! :) Aww the PRICE OF FASHION

Conditioner rotation

So I AM a professed Product JUNKIE!!!
ok not really what has happened is that in my transistioning phase I bought some products that I thought would work well and ahem DIDN'T..So now I'm not one to waste or thorw things away Im trying to figure out what to do with my items....A couple of bottles of conditioner have been wroking well with my conditiner rotation..using a new/ different conditioner for my bi-daily co-washes, helps me figure out what is working well on/in my hair, which depends alot on what I'm doing the the weather outside....



P.S. the bottles that have not worked AT all have been gifted to other family memebers.

EARRINGS THAT ARE HOT

Product Review: Surya Brasil Amala Acai Conditioner

So on my visit to ROSS I was able to Score this conditioner for only 2.99.
I figured based on the ingredienst it couldn't be that bad and the only way to find out is to try: Surya Brasil Amala Acai Melon Conditioner
here

Conditioner: Aqua (Deionized Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Vegetable Glycerin, Orbignya Oleifera (Babaçú) Seed Oil, Theobroma Grandiflorum (Cupuaçu) Seed Butter, Parfum (Fragrance), BHT, Dissodium EDTA, Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Protein, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract, Paullinia Cupana (Guaraná) Fruit Extract, Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla) Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Fruit Extract, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Extract, Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Organic Oil, Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methylisothiazolinone, CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 42090 (Blue 1).

Day one: Well I used for a daily wash n go and it seems to have made my hair kinda hard...I lathered and rinse as usual and it made my scalp kinda tingly..felt really good. I noticed though when I rinsed that my hair felt reallt dry..kinda like I had used shampoo or a clarifier. after words I combed and spritz in some oil and Leave-IN conditioner


***Oct 8, 2009***
Ok so now that FALL has officially hit the Oklahoma area I will say that this conditioner HAS grown on me...After using it for my bi-daily cowash..I've noticed that my coils are a lil more defined and my hair seems alot softer than usual. I also used this to wash Kaygans hair and It left her curlz very defind and pronounced not to mention extra soft....Since I found this bottle at ROSS for cheap...I am going to try to conserve it until i find more...so it will used in the conditioner rotation that is going. (more on that later)
