Don't Believe Me Just Watch.

Dear Diary,
Even though I originally strayed from my no heat challenge, I have to admit that the results have been more than worth it.
After going to the beauty shop and getting a relaxer (after about almost 4 months of stretching.), my hair has shown tremendous progress. It feels great, and it's finally returning to a length that I recognize. I'm so happy that the things that I am doing are paying off.
Plus, my beautician has come up with her own hair care product. It's a mixture of oils- aloe vera, castor oil, almond oil, mineral oil, mustard oil, vitamin e, and sunflower oil. The clients that have been using it have seen tremendous amounts of growth, and I am hoping that this product will do the same for me.
So stay tuned you guys.

After all,  don't you love seeing me progress?

My Fly Bantu Knot.

Dear Diary,
I have hair FABULOSITY.
My hair looks amazing. AMAZING, okay?
Not only is it moisturized, it's coiled, and puffy. Pretty cute. I don't know if it's prettier because of the fact that I have hella new growth, but I'm satisfied.

No Heat for Two Weeks...But I Had ANOTHER Emergency.

Dear Diary,

For two weeks, I've been avoiding heat...mostly because it's not like I've been doing much except filling out application after application and turning them in. Plus, people love my curly hair way better than when my hair is straight. Makes them remember me better.
Today, however, my mom asked me to go run errands for her, and I'd recently washed my hair after I'd gone swimming with my baby cousins (who splashed me to NO end and attacked me with the glorious water guns conveniently located in the kiddie pool.). So I didn't have time to fix my hair according to the heat guidelines. I flat ironed it out.
However, yesterday when I washed it, I did have to clarify it. There was so much build-up, AND I'd gone swimming in chlorine. I was so happy to feel the difference in my hair afterwards. Plus, the nuAAT Brazillian Intensive Mask (expect a full review soon) did WONDERS on my hair. My hair was so soft as it airdried last night. I KNOW that if I'd have wrapped my hair and sat under the dryer. Just...wow. I was really impressed.
Also, I started working out Thursday. I finally sucked it up. I've been doing pretty well with making sure that I'm active for at least 30 minutes, but see, Subway cookies came through the house...and entered my stomach. And it's two peanut butter cookies in the fridge. Right now.
This is HARD!
However, it was really easy to stop eating fast food. I'm cheap, I'm in college, and I want to save money. Bye, fast food. Plus, all of my friends are either broke or trying to get fit too. Look at us...being fit together.
