Product Review: Mixed Chick conditioners

 So at the suggestions of a co-worker who works at a beauty supply store, I decided to try the deep conditioner and the leave-in conditioner for a product line called "Mixed Chick". She brought me a sample pack so since I frequently wash my hair, I tried it the next morning. First the deep conditioner..... smelled great and felt great on my hair. It was an instant detangler...I wasn't even trying to detangle but I noticed my fingers were able to run through immediately. Once out the shower with hair rinsed, I applied the leave-in conditioner. I did not squeeze dry my hair first because in my experience with these products I know your hair should be as wet as possible. The leave-in is almost unscented but a nice thick cream base like I like. My curl definition was immediate. I hate too much shrinkage so i was kinda finger combing the curls straighter....but being a natural tightly coiled sistah it only did so much. Found out later after watching some videos that once applied completely I should not handle too much....to avoid the frizzies. I did start having some frizz problems in the very front of my hair but attributed that to being the area I played with the most. I will probably go ahead and buy this product, which average price is about $16 a bottle. As you can see from
the picture I retained curl definition into the day. These pictures were taken after about 3 hours. According to the website, you are free to touch and style as much as you want after your hair is completely dry. At the end of the day my hair is still pretty much soft and curly with a few "frozen" curls. I will use this product again for my shake and go days.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large...

Knee Up...

Sometimes I don't know if pain/discomfort I'm experiencing is simply weight related or if it's something I really should get checked. I've noticed my knee is constantly irritated. Only my left knee. At Zumba last night I could barely lean to the left while squat/plie. I kinda loosens up toward the end of the hour of aerobic activity but still hurts. Some kicks and such in MMA fitness really twist my knee up..... I was thinking that maybe because I'm not getting up on my toes more that the shoe-to-carpet connection is jarring on my knee but I'm just not sure. Every morning when I jump out of bed I'm limping pretty noticeably and this morning was no different. As the old folks say "Arthur was acting up" ...that is a possibility (arthritis) since it was very irritated during this morning's rainy weather. I guess I will mention it when I go for my regular checkup in a month but for now I'll just keep working it out. ugh.....Sunshyne Out.! (phot...

Scared To Be Alone?

I've been told in recent months that I just don't want to let go because I'm afraid of being alone. Never thought I was. As a matter of fact, I like the peace and quiet of being alone... (sometimes). It doesn't bother me at all to come home and no one's there... make me a cup of coffee, change into my favorite house outfit...(t-shirt, panties & footies) and just watch tv, or read a book. Awww the good life. I've talked to folks all day....it doesn't bother me to come home, do the check on everyone else's day and then not say too much the rest of the night. But I guess when you think about what the person said..... you know they mean on the day-to-day basis. Am I scared to sleep alone night after night? Am I scared to not have someone to share my dreams and desires with.? Am I scared to not be "boo'd up"? I guess when I think about it that way.... I am scared! OMG....I am scared. I love building towards something with someone.... going t...
