My hair is behaving today!!!

I love having a good hair day. My hair looks big, poofy and AMAZING! As you can see I went picture crazy this morning when I unraveled the bantu knots, I loved my hair that much!

I really can't tell if my hair has grown, only because I gave myself a trim days ago and I chopped A LOT off.

I also realized that layering Anita Grant Cafe latte under Qhem's BRBC works wonders for my crown area. My hair is soft, fluffy, and extremely moisturized.

I've decided to wear my hair out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and rock my wig Thursday and Friday since I'm getting my hair braided on Saturday.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Me Being silly with my wig...

Reunited...

And it feels so good....

And my hair won't behave

Twistouts don't work, neither does bantu knots, my hair feels hard in the middle, and I don't know what to do....

Hair today.......

Today's experiment with Anita Grant's Cafe Latte turned out to be a success!

I really like the consistency and it made my hair extremely moisturized. Now I'm not sure if I want to use it by itself, since my hair is kinda of crunchy in the middle to the top.

Now remember, I'm working with 2 different textures on my head. The hair in the back is a softer looser texture that can't hold a curl, while the hair in the front? Extremely thick, kinkier and hellish to detangle. Now the hair on the back feels extremely moisturzed, the hair to the front feels mositurized but wiry at the same time.

So I think I'm going to layer Qhem's BRBC over the Cafe Latte for the hair in the front.

Why can't my hair do what I want?

Anyway, here is my bantu knot out for today.

I think tomorrow I'm going to try a braidout, so we shall see where this goes.

And they're here!!!!!!!

Can I tell you how much I LOVE the spice plum fragrant oil? Ohmygoodness sooo yummy! Last night I made a body oil with equal parts grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, and a few drops of spice plum fragrant oil.

Talk about luxurious!

I also made a facial toner using rosewater and organic witch hazel and my skin loved it!

I'm happy with my purchases!

Guess who.......

I woke early Saturday morning and headed to my local post office to pick up my goodies!!!!!!

Now I won't be able to review the Cafe latte until I take these kinky twist out in two weeks, but I tested a bit on some loose hair and I really like it.

As far as my vanilla oil samples, I love all of them except the Berry Vanilla & Sweet Almond Oil, that one reeks.

So I'm happy with my purchases!

Good Customer Service.....

Is good Customer Service....

As I sit here waiting for my packages, one in particular from Anita Grant, I am reminded once again how "Good" customer service makes a world of difference.

As you know, I made my first purchase from Anita Grant on October 31st. I received notice on Nov. 4th that my package was shipped to the United States. Now imagine my frustration when I check the USPS website the days following as instructed, I receive no additional information other than "the package has been past from the origin." Each and everyday.

I was beyond pissed.

I called USPS because I needed to know where my package was considering it was coming from Great Britain. I was surprised and HORRIFIED to learn that my beloved package with all my goodies has not reached the United States and was still in Great Britain.

Oh.hell.no

I sent an email to Anita Grant immediately inquiring about my order status and not even an HOUR later, I received a response.

They explained that on my behalf, they contacted Royal Mail and USPS about the status of my order. They went on to explain that my goodies are indeed in the US, NY to be exact and that my package is in the custody of Customs(they betta not mess with my vanilla samples, they will be hell to pay if anything happen to my babies). They also informed USPS to send me daily updates on the status of my order(awesome square).

After I received a response from Anita Grant, I also received an email from USPS with an update on my order!

Holla!

I also checked USPS website today and it NOW states that my package is in the custody of NY ISC...Customs!!!!

I will keep you posted!

Once more again...

Hola!

Now, I KNOW I said that I wasn't going to buy anymore products for my hair, but I decided what the heck, it isn't a new mositurizer, conditioner, poo bars or leave in, so I should be ok.

I've decided to use floral waters in my daily spritzes. I want something different for my hair so I'm going to try this out.

I have the following bulk items in my cart: rosewater(for my daily spritzes), aloe vera juice(for my daily spritz), castor oil(for sealing), grapeseed oil(face and body oil), sweet almond oil(body oil) and a spice plum fragrant oil(I want to try this for my body oil).

So, once I get my items, I'll let you know!

Also, my items from Anita Grant has been shipped to the USA, so it's only a matter of time before I receive my goodies!

Can't wait!

Sally's haul.....

You know, I really have no shame.

I was in Sally's this evening because I needed new perm rods(I want tighter curls) and a pair of scissors for my upcoming trim(I can't wait, my ends are ragged). I was minding my business when I spotted China Glaze new Holiday 2009 collection...omg...they were all so beautiful. I really wanted Ruby Slippers but heavens I have ENOUGH reds.

So I picked up Emerald Sparkles instead. The color is breathtakingly beautiful and stunning on my nails, I can't wait to swatch this color, just goregous.

Go me!

Once more again!

*sigh*

To STOP myself from ordering Anita Grant rhassoul cubes...I'm just going to order Rhassoul clay from mountainroseherbs.com

Now, I know in the past I stated that I wasn't too impressed with rhassoul clay, but I FINALLY realized what I was doing wrong this whole time.

I was mixing the water and the clay together when I should have left left the mix alone and let the clay suck up the water.

In others, NO MIXING.

So now I want to try it again and this time I'm going to try it with coconut milk and see what happens.

Till next time!

Major haul!

This is my hair bucket today!

I'm giving away two KBB's hair nectars(kept one that was almost done), Qhemet's CTDG, and all my Chagrin Valley samples and a full size poo bar. I got rid of all my vitamins since I hate taking them, and finally combined all my left over deep conditioners(AOSHR and Hairveda hair masque) into a jar.

Luckily my friend is visiting from out of town so I can pass all this stuff on to her.

I'm going to stick to the basic: castor oil, Suave Condish, a deep conditioner(probably my homemade mix that I used in the beginning), if it all works out Anita Grant creamy cafe latte(if not back to Qhemet's BRBC), Ida poo bars, and my beloved Vatika Oil.

That's.it!!!!!!!!

I'm OVER being a PJ, I can't do it. I found what works for my hair and I'm going to stick to it.

Word.

The story....

Ever had the URGE to do something you KNOW that you have no business doing?

Yeah.

I'm sitting at my laptop, minding my own e-business, and I decided to visit Anita's Grant website.

BIG mistake.

I saw that she had various Organic Vanilla oil samples, and as a Vanilla lover, well, I just had to try them out!

So I ordered:

Organic Vanilla & Sweet Almond Oil (Unscented)
Organic Vanilla & Virgin Coconut Oil (Unscented)
Black Vanilla & Sweet Almond Oil
Berry Vanilla & Sweet Almond Oil (Unscented)
Organic Vanilla Rose & Sweet Almond Oil (Unscented)
Coconut and Rosewood Dry Oil

Oh, I also ordered the Creamy Café Latte leave-in, and YES I did get a full-size jar. I figure, get it now and worry about it until it's time to take my hair out. I'm going to try this under my beloved Qhemet's BRBC and see what happens.

Here's some info:

Creamy Café Latte - Creamy Café Latte Detangle Leave-in available in 2 sizes:

Pure Brazilian Coffee Oil stimulating the follicles of your natural hair, the wholesome goodness of Fijian Virgin Coconut oil penetrating your hair shaft, decadent Unrefined Cocoa Butter conditioning your hair from root to tip and the vitamin enriched - velvety suppleness of Australian Macadamia Nut Oil lovingly caressing every bend & twirl of your lush curls. Topped off with an abundance of delicious natural & organic hair care loving ingredients...mmm-mmm-goodness!

Enhance your hair's natural texture, maintain moisture and manageability - without build up. Just rub a teeny pinch of Creamy Café Latte between the palms of your hands, work with your naturally curly hair and cover from root to tip - caress & detangle dry hair (YES, dry hair) for instant softness in seconds. Then sit back and enjoy the scent, softness and sheen.

You can get it here: http://www.anitagrant.com/


From what I've heard, it will take about four weeks to get my items since they are shipping from the UK, and you know what?

I don't mind....not one bit, lol.

I have no shame...

I ordered something....

For my hair.....
