Naturally Kinky

I am actually on week three of diet and I am working on the exercise thing. I have been doing pilates when I think about it. I did it once the first week. Twice the second week, and once so far this week, and I can not do the damn seal. The clapping of feet while rolling up and down is not working for me. I look like a person having a damn seizure when I do it. Maybe with time I will improve.

In terms of diet. I am doing pretty good. During the week I count calories, during the weekend, I have decided to let myself eat whatever I want. I did notice though that all my free eating in the last few weeks has had me feeling like crap. My body does not like me eating freely. For about two days after the weekend my stomach hurts. Maybe it is telling me that eating deep fried twinkies on a regular basis is bad. I don't really eat deep fried twinkies, I did once, but it was at the State Fair.

An argument I always hear from people who don't want to go natural is that they don't look good with an afro.

I am going to show you guys my afro:



Now dammit, it isn't an afro, it is a wash and go. I can't do an afro, I have tried, my hair falls in defeat. There are other styles that fall into the natural category that aren't afros such as:

Twists (two and three strand)
Twist Outs
Braid Outs
Bantu Knots
Braids

None of these are afros, many can be done on shorter hair, why is it assumed to go natural you must have an auto afro?

Winter is here and my feet look as if I have been kicking flour. Thankfully, I have Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme. It works wonders on my dry feet, using this t night and a pumice stone in the shower makes for nice feet. It is so awesome even my dog loves it, every time I put it on, she licks the floor or area where I have applied the creme to my feet. TMI huh?

I love creamy cafe latte. I really do. It is my favorite product. The smell is awesome it makes my hair so soft, but sadly the Pound is tearing up the dollar in the market. Two jars of creamy cafe latte, 3.5 oz. with shipping is like $42!!!!!!! That is $20 a jar. A bit too pricey. I love curls by sister smith, but honestly, the creamy cafe latte is just so awesome. Bye Creamy Cafe Latte. I love you. Don't take it personal, but you are just too expensive.

Ok I did just order two jars, but I had too!!!!!!! I can't quit cold turkey.

My hair is not soft like it was in the summer and fall. It has gotten kind of dry. I think winter is trying to hurt my hair!!!! I am going to try to up the hot oil treatments and maybe wear some buns ::yuck:: I need to protect my precious hair. I also need to find a good heat protectant. I am going to need to straighten my hair so I can give myself a trim. I will research. Stay tuned for my review of heat protectant when I finally get around to trimming my hair.

As you know I ordered some hair ties from Brunsli. Well the USPS held one of them hostage, and Brunsli and Co. being all nice and stuff, sent me a new one.

Here it is!!!! I really love it!!!!




Just FYI, I think Brunsli hair ties bring good luck. I was wearing one the day I interviewed for my new job. I ain't saying for sure it brings luck, but I am just saying.
