0 Why am I a night owl?

I can't be only one like this...

I will stay up late and whine the whole time about how tired I am! Well, duh then go to bed! Lol!!

I guess I'm not ready for the day to be over....still have a million things to do!



0 My hair routine

Like most women I care a lot about my body (well I should say most humans, right?). I try to keep myself as healthy as possible by constantly learning about and cleansing out toxins. Well, back in 2006-2007 ish (my brain is a little fuzzy, alright...) I started changing my diet; I stopped eating out completely, stopped eating food that I deemed unhealthy for me such as pork, certain sea foods, and other junk. During that time my body went through many changes (with the help of cleanses); my skin became clearer, I lost a lot of weight in certain areas, and my hair changed. Before we get into that part let's get some background info....

My mother started relaxing my hair when I was about 5 or so. I remember my grandmother saying, "I don't know why she put that in your hair!". At the time I didn't really know what was going on but, I do remember thinking I had long hair. My hair was about 2-3 inches past my shoulders and it stayed that length until I was about 9-10 (5th grade). In 5th grade I started to notice my hair had gotten A LOT shorter. It was barely to my shoulders and in the middle it was very thin.

Well, I'm not going to go into all of my hair struggles I went through after that because it includes a "S Curl" (Yes.  horrible, right?), braids and then back to relaxed. We would be here all day if I went through all of that. I hated my hair. I hated it natural (when I had braids my mom didn't relax it) and I hated it with the "S Curl". I wanted my hair back to how it was when I was younger; thick and somewhat long.

My hair always had a little "curl" to it, even after a relaxer. And when I got older (high school) the middle of my hair stopped relaxing. It would never take to the relaxer. Well, I started experiencing the same thing in 2007 after I started changing my diet around; my whole head wouldn't relax. I tried Revlon, African Pride, Supreme, and none of them could relax my curls. I was looking a hot mess because my hair was breaking off and shedding. It wouldn't even straighten with the hot comb! A mess!

So, in December 2007 I decided to go natural. I decided I was going to grow out my hair and stop relaxing. I threw out the conditioners I was using and read up about haircare online. I purchased Nature's Gate Tea Tree Calming Conditioner and Shampoo.



I got them from my local health food store. I loved them but, a friend of mine told me about Giovanni and I have been using them since. I love them! I have tried the Tea Tree Triple Treat, 50/50, Smooth as Silk and the Direct Leave In.

I have seen Giovanni almost everywhere; Publix, health food stores, Wal-Mart and Target.

Currently, I use Giovanni Smooth as Silk conditioner. It says deep moisture on the back (each hair product shows how moisturizing it is on the back) but, it is also high in protein. So, if you're protein sensitive this product may not be for you or you may need to use it rarely and alternate with a more moisturizing conditioner.

For shampoo I have used the Giovanni brand and I do like it but, for now I am using the Nubian Heritage Black soap.


I know you might be thinking; soap? Yes. Soap. This soap is all natural and contains no harsh ingredients. It is  very moisturizing and doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped. When I scrub my scalp really well with this soap, my scalp can go without itching for a little over a week and a half. I also use this soap for my body.

To be continued...

  • Leave Ins
  • Moisturizers
  • Co-washing
  • Twists
  • Deep Conditioning
  • Protein vs. Moisture
  • Water, Water, Water
  • Wet Buns
  • Wigs
  • and more....

0 I got my Sew Crafty Baby Order!!!

I will be working on a tutuorial of how to use flat diapers. Flats and prefolds are really (to me atleast) the easiest and cheapest way to cloth diaper. No stripping, no stink, no long dry time, and folding them takes about as long a stuffing a pocket does.

Stay tuned.....

0 Justin Bieber Kapsel


Tienerheld Justin Bieber is een Canadese popster, die werd ontdekt op Youtube. Hij is momenteel erg hot onder de jongeren. Dat is te merken aan alle jonge jongens die op Justin Bieber willen lijken door zijn kleding en vooral zijn kapsel overnemen.




Justin Bieber zijn kapsel is zo populair geworden door een campagne voor zijn show op MTV genaamd "The Diary of Justin Bieber". Hij is daar zijn haar aan het föhnen:



Ook zijn er veel filmpjes op Youtube te vinden over hoe je een Justin Bieber kapsel kunt stylen. Het afgeronde kapsel van Justin geeft hem een schattige uitstraling. Sommige mensen associëren het met EMO kapsels maar dat vind ik niet terecht.

We kunnen zeggen dat Justin Bieber de trend zet voor de kapsels van 2010 voor jongeren.

Maar nu de vraag: Wat vinden jullie van Justin Bieber en zijn kapsel? Overdreven of helemaal hot? Ik ben benieuwd!

0 Sew Crafty Baby- Love them!



If you cloth diaper, I know you have probably already heard of Sew Crafty Baby. This is an awesome site! She has everything from prefolds and flats to AI2s and all the diaper accessories you will need such as Snappi's and diaper pins.

But what I like the most is she offers FREE shipping all year around!

Something I have been struggling with when it comes to shopping online is that, I don't like paying for shipping. (I think I hate it) I have loaded up many carts only to get to the checkout and see shipping total $7 or more and dump everything out and leave the shop.

She has great customer service and offers discount codes often. Eventhough, she is is California and I am in South Carolina, it has never taken more than 3 days for me to receive my order. Did I mention that I was impatient as well? So, I have no problem ordering from her and in the near future I plan to do a review of all the products I have brought from her store.

  • Thirsties Covers
  • OsoCozy Flats
  • Chinese Pre-folds (infant)
  • Diaper Pins
  • Snappi's
Oh and did I mention she usually throws in a free sample? Yeah... I love Sew Crafty Baby.
