dear online journal,

 well as u know im trying to go raw so i ate  2 bananas cut up , raw walnuts, raisons and honey. scrumptious! Also another herbal tea its delicious. so soothing and and calming. I used to be a coffee addict. but i kicked the habit because it did nothing for my hair and depleted my body out all of those vitamins and nutrients. i only drink it when i visit a friend or someone comes over but its not an addiction anymore. Yes Coffee Drinkers Anonymous I am not an addict anymore.  I still love the stuff but i dont make it and revolve my life around it any more.  Plus it makes my teeth yellow

 well i just took my vitamins biotin, msm, a prenatal, and an evening primose oil.  I vow to take extra care of my hair for it is gods gift and blessing. I will whatever it takes to grow my hair as long as possible or until im happy with the length. I take an oath to live everyday to the fullest and take care of my luscious locks as best as I can.

dear online journal,

i just  wanted to post some tips that i learned through research, hardwork and through my own personal  dedication.


First, i read cold water makes hair grow faster and really shiny.

Second, Prenatal Vitamins can make hair grow 3/4 an inch in a month(i heard that).

Third, If you keep your hair in a bun everyday and only let it down for special outings it will save your hair , keep it healthy, chic, and damage free.

Fourth, dont color it will keep your hair healthier and healthy looking.


Fifth, dont stress . It kills, literally. I like to destress by drinking herbal teas from a health food store. Take a long bubble bath. Go to a great  bookstore browse buy and relax. Go shopping. Put on makeup, buy makeup.

 well i just had another herbal rasberry tea and i put rosemary in it because on the news they said that rosemary wards off premature baldness.  thank god we have hair. i know that my hair has been so damaged and still is from chemical burns to blowdrying abuse. but im doing my best god, please help innocent ppl (like me)who dont know how to care for hair, and make hair healthy. but after all the research and everything thank god i still have hair.

dear online journal,

 my sisters greek x-neighbor( a nice older woman), used to tell my sister that dates stuffed with an almond is a sure way to have that thick shiny hair. so i hope it works.  i just wanted to add that for all those healthy hair lovers. Also to biker braid i used to have a mister that i filled with olive oil and i didnt like the effect it had on my hair so i filled up my mister with water and jojoba and so far my hair loves it. also before i go to sleep i put one drop of jojoba on the ends.

dear online journal,
 
  now im drinking a tall glass of a banana smoothie that i made thats good for the hair. i made it with 2 bananas , water, 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil(good for hair and eczema)1 tablespoon of alcohol free vanilla. blend in blender.delicious. yummy.


i made an all natural hairspray. it really works with frizz and flyaways.  you squeeze one lemon juice , extract it with a drainer, and then boil with one cup of water. let cool then put into spray thingy. you can use an orange if you want. i found this recipe somewhere online and has been very helpful. im running out so im going to make more with an orange.

dear online journal,


    well i just cant sleep good.  my hair is still in a bun. so classic and chic. it will never go out of style. all i need is accessories.  i will  go shopping later.  the garnier did make my hair much shinier( a big complaint from my mom and sister about my hair always looking dull and how can my hair be too curly!!!!! hello ppl i was born with curly hair. this is how god made me. also sunday we went to a wedding and  my sis said my hair looked nice, and my mom said it looked not so nice.  can u say confused?

thankyou so much bikerbraid . also i love your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!how long is it? its gorgeous i wish that was my hair! its looks like you have a loose curl. i love it.

dear online journal,


 well today was another hair raising day.  its still in a fun bun(thats what i will be calling it from now on) when i put it in a fun bun its really sleek and classy but when i have my big curls its frizzy and unruly. hopefully that will pass because i read that if it get to be over 30" it gets less curly and less frizzy. hopefully thats true and it makes sense because the hair will be pulling down longer which results in less curls. my hubby likes my hair straight and down. But he also says that curlS are sexy . but he prefers it straight and has asked me a numerous amount of times to permanently straighten  it.  

today i drank milk but i can find raw milk anywhere close . im sure milk will speed up the growth process.  raw milk is good because it is straight from a cow. its not hoboglobinized or whatever that word is which in fact kills good bacteria and nutrients because they have to heat the milk at a fairly high temperature. I want all the nutrients to go straight to my hair. thats what it says in my "eating in the raw" by carol alt. i love her she is an awesome healthy person. my healthy idol. so i ended up drinking one big glass of milk, and then one small one.vitamin d. where can i buy raw milk close here or at least order it.? ??? ??? ???i wish they can deliver the milk (raw milk of coarse) to my front door step just like in the olden days(like i seen on tv). then i will have a raw milk man. maybe his name would be jerry. and he would wear an all white alfit. im really funny

well now i have to watch my fave show americas next top model byeeeeee

dear online journal,

well let me give you some hair history. the youngest age memory i had was when i was 5 and my mom was doing my hair and putting it in a tight bun. i remember my sister saying how lucky i was by having this kind of hair when i was little. then  i remember on my 11th bday on my sister gave me a blowdryer. okkkkk thats a good gift for an 11 year old.   then the hair havoc begun.  i would attempt to straighten my hair for school everyday. i didnt even know how to blowdry  my hair.  i would just smell smoke coming from the dryer. then my mom would hide the blowdryer from me and i would argue because i didnt know how to keep it curly. so i thought i needed the blowdryer.this continued all throughout my school years. talk about hair havoc! i remember there used to be sooooooo much hair in the brush. even when i did blowdry it it still didnt look right because i didnt do it properly. its a miracle i still have hair. it used to be sooooo thick. arghhhhhhhhhhh.  then at 16 i got my hair done for my cousins wedding the hair monster stylist teased my hair sooooooooo much with the hairdo i could not take my hair down so i ended up cutting it to a shoulder length bob to take down.
then i used to keep it blowdryed everyday in a cute style. i never had  hair that short so boy did i have fun with it.   at about age 20 i kept it natural for the first time because it was so damaged and i got so many compliments on the curls.  then its still natural till this day but not so many compliments. i just get bad comments now. and thats why i am here. to help grow my hair beautiful and longer. hopefully it will happen my estimated goal hair length is december 2007. that is rear length.only a short miserly 2 years.when i kept it curly i just put mouse on it. but now  i have read that mouse and gel are damaging.  so i only use it for occassions. which in my life are many.  family get together parties (usually once a week), my friend calls me up on fridays and likes to go out, and my husband likes my hair down when we go  out.

dear online journal,


well so far i made me a hot lemon water and took my vitamins. i slept so happy with my hair last night. it felt volumptuous( i cant find my dictionary in case i spelled it wrong).  i put jojoba on the ends so hopefully that works good. i need to buy some yoga tapes and mousse from a health food store. im going to shower soon with the coldest water in the world. im getting used to it 8). hopefully it will be a good day today and hair day. its veryy sunny and i think the high will be 50. hoorayyyyyyyyyy. i love spring. flowers. everything.

dear online journal,

well i went to the health food store and i bought some products for shine and frizz. i hope they work.  i didnt find mousse.   or raw milk . oh well.  well im going to go eat something hair healthy now. i bought hommus from the store. that tasted yummy with carrots.  caui

dear online journal,

  well i cold rinsed my hair today and thankgod not a lot of hair fell out.  i took my vitamins and im happy with the results so far it feels fuller.  here is my sched. for the week. sat, sun, mon, cold water rinse. tuesdays, i shampoo and condition. wed, thurs, cold water rinse. fridays are a brown sugar scalp scrub and a rose water rinse or acv(depends on what i have).

dear online journal,

  so much has happened over the weekend. friday, i went out and got a hair compliment. hooray. sat it was sleek and pulled back. sunday it was in a pony tail. monday was a bun , and today a bun.  i also did henna on my hair for the first time by myself. it wasnt that bad. the first time it didnt work because my hair was kinda oily but the second time i really liked it. it made it a light brown. it made it feel thicker and i know i will do it more often. i found it a health food store. they also had a permanent hair color but i was too scared too try it. i wonder if someone tryed it and if they liked it. i just got news that saturday is a big concert. so  i hope my hair doest act up.  i feel kinda worried about my hair and how it will turn out. i know everyone will be getting their hair done and blown out at a salon. i will just be leaving it down frizzy and curly.i look awesome with my hair blown out but because it is kinda on the thin side, i cant blowdry it.  everyone will be wearing new clothes and i will be there will my black leather pants that i wore  a few times and this glitery express shirt that i got about 5 years ago. hopefully it will turn out ok.  make due with what you have. hopefully  my hair will grow up until my bum by saturday morning. that would be a miracle . they say miracles do happen. 8)

dear online journal,

well i went to that concert last night and it was good. my hair was well behaved. i noticed so many long haired ladies.!!!!!!!!i complimented one girl because she sat next to me but there were so many scizzor free sisters out there. im not sure if i didnt notice before or what they were everywhere. its like a secret cult.

I'm so sorry about your grandfather's passing away.  I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

dear online journal,

  i have been eating so much to help the hair growth.  i met this lady at this health food store , she was an older beautiful woman who had long silver hair up to her rear down and straight. i told her i loved her hair and i am trying to grow it very long. she told me that she eats very well and she said that helps hair to grow very fast. i have been trying that so we shall see.  she was so sweet. you can tell that long haired ladies are sweet, romantic, patient, and nice.  i wish i have hair like that when i am her age!

  also i put my hair things in 3 different size, clear caboodles that i got from kmart. i put my hair things in there and i love them.  they are so neat and look nice in the bathroom closet. its fun to have a hair toy collection. its a good hobby.

about my loss, its hard but its also a mercy because my grandfather was in a lot of pain so he is out of his pain and in a better place. that is comforting.

dear online journal,

  well i took a cold rinse shower and put my hair in a fun bun. i heard that if u fall in love your hair grows faster. i guess maybe because you are happy ur hair gets happy 2.  well im soooooo grateful for this journal. i just cant wait till my hair get really long,but because its curly it looks 5 inches shorter when dry. thats tough. oh well patience patience and prayer. boy have i been praying hard. its such a nice day. i just like to take a nap on a day like this. so peaceful and springy. well i have been eating heartily because i want my hair to grow faster and i thought that might help. but i have been forgetting to take my vitamins. i need to do my yoga 2. my life would be so much easier if i had long thick hair. hopefully it will happen one day.just took my vitamins, one prenatal.msm, evening primose, and biotin.

hey sakina!!

  im on and off raw but the only raw food book i tried was carol alts book eating in the raw. the one u said sounds good so i might buy it.

also about split ends, im not sure if i have less, but i know that keeping my hair in a bun protects it. by the way i just trimmed about a finger nail long off the ends using the morrocco method lunar chart.  i also ordered euro oil  for healthy hair.

about losing hair today thank god  i only lost 2 when i showered in a cold water rinse. so i think ur right i did read one time that ur hair needs to be balance once u go raw . im eating carrots now. crunchy. my sister was nice enough to tell me that im gaining weight yesterday.    shes sooooo sweet. ruined my whole day. oh well.

but i truely reccommend falling in love ppl. try it. it works!!!!!

dear online journal,

  well i just took a cool refreshing bubble bath and i put a dab of euro oil, one dot of shine cream(that i got from the healthfood store) and one dot of frizz cream( also from healthfood store).  now  i put it in a fun bun. my hair finally feels happy. i read that if you treat your  hair right in almost all cases it will result in a healthy head of hair. when i read that yesterday it was soooooooo comforting and i immediately felt my hair was happier. my hair is not depressed anymore. its not sad or lonely. its not crying . no more bad hair days. my hair is finally loving itself. or i  am finally loving it. yes thats it i am finally learning to love my hair for the first time in my life. i am so grateful to have curly brunette locks. i never thought i would be saying that. its been a horrible cycle. my mom hated her curly hair. my sister straightens her hair everyday. its in my genes to hate my hair. but now i finally love it. i know there is curly hair discrimination out there i have heard many hurtful commments like your hair is always big and frizzy. many more.... but i dont want to remember that now.  i just want to celebrate this journal, my curly luscious locks, and this website. im sooo glad i found jojoba oil. my hair thanks me all the time. oh yes now i know y im in a good mood. i measured my hair and it is 28 inches. HOOORAY.  EVEn though the ends are crunchy.  hopefully i will reach my goal of 35 inches in april 2006.   then i will maintain and trim by the moon for thickness. praying is awesome it soooooo works.

dear online journal,

brb going to take vitamins..........ok i took them. my prenatal(beats depression and great for the skin), msm, evening primose oil and hair skin and nails. i got my book from walden books that they had ordered for me its my fave book for losing weight that really works( i tried it all last summer) its called Foods that cause you to Lose Weight .that book helped me alot last year. it helped me lose those last ten pounds, but im trying to lose them again. i dont know y i didnt stay on this diet all throughout they year. it tells you the foods that help you lose weight naturally. i found it on accident last year. thank god i did.

dear online journal,

HOOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today was the best hair day ever in such a long time. thank gawwwwwwwwwwd!!!!  it was the most lush shiny boteccelli goddess curls ever. thank gawdddd. i got 3 compliments on it. my hair has been depressed for a little while i have to thank it all to when i went to kmart and bought a bottle of aloe gel. it works awesome. well i made up my own hair thingy and its been working. im shocked. well after i shower i put conditioner only on the ends, then when i get out i spray lavender water on it, then i scrunch gently with a small white towel, next i put one drop of jojoba and then one drop of euro oil on the hair. then one dollop of aloe gel. i comb it out with a wide tooth comb then let it air dry. i didnt touch it much today and voila. the royal hair gods have answered my prayers! i feel worried because my cousins wedding is coming up so im not sure what to do with my unruly hair. but i just might leave it natural and curly.  this must be a sign from god for all my prayers. thanks god again and i wish good hair to all.

dear online hair journal,


   well, i went to a carnival 2 days in a row and i seen this girl on the first day with long thick gorgeous hair up to her bum. i felt soooooooooooooooooooo envious( usually i dont get jealous).  then, another spanish girl with very long pretty loose curly hair also up to her bum.  i only wished that one day that would be my hair, and it will grow to my dream bum goal. well i started   taking one table spoon of olive oil everyday, so hopefully it will nourish my insides then extend my hair. im even thinking of extensions. does anyone know anything about that. i wish there was miracle grow for the hair. the government must know something and is keeping it from us. ya know to make more money.  i have 2 occasions back to back to go to and i dont know what to do with my hair. usually i feel happy and excited, but im not quite sure what to do with it. ohhhhhhhhhhhh long hair up to my bum natural is the ultimate accessory. im sick of wearing it in a bun.  im suprised i still have hair after everthing i have been through. well thank gawdd for that a gazillllion times lord! i just want to list a few things i am thankful for. 
1. the web of information
2. my laptop
3. my curly hair
4. clear skin
5. my health
6. fam
7. friends
8. career
9. this website which is a lot of fun
10. my man

and all the other blessings i forgot

Omigosh, what a horrible salon experience..    *hug*

Cynde

I'm so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience at the salon.  You may want to go back and talk with the salon manger to express your dissatisfaction.  It won't fix your hair, but it will let everyone know that the stylist did not listen to you and you are very unhappy.

dear online journal,


my longest layer is 26 inches. i hate layers. its not even natural. never again. my shortest layer is 12 inches. i feel like it got much more thinner after this cut. 

im eating almonds now because it makes your hair strong. i went from a vegan diet to now mostly protein. the kingsley guy says if you eat protein with ever meal hair will grow 15% faster. i do just want to eat carbs but i want long hair more than i want to eat carbs. i know eggs are a super hair food. today i bought infusium 23 and acv from kmart.  i will do an acv rinse tomarrow. it feels like everyone i know has the longest hair ever. this lady who has 5 boys has hair covering her bum.

hey sakina,


thanks for your advice. i cant even do the whole only protein thingy. its too hard. i went back to my old ways.   now im eating a nice big salad with sprouts with some olive oil to nourish my insides.

i bought Hair, Skin, and Nails(vitamins). it says 3000mcg of biotin. i know biotin is good for the hair. wow take 3 tablets daily. thats alot. 

i did a cold shower rinse with acv. i wanted to do a brown sugar scalp scrub but i didnt have any brown sugar.

dear online journal,

  well i did a super cold shower rinse today . i usually do that everyday. yesterday i did a brown sugar scalp scrub. then i used a beaten egg white as  mousse. i got that tip from a hair book. i combed it out and it works better than mousse. then today i shampooed with head and shoulders( for the ph balance). now its up in a bun. usually is.  i wish there was miracle grow for hair to grow really fast. arghhhhhhhhhhhh.  i measured again yesterday 26 inches the longest layer.  i threw out all my scizzors too. i dont even want to trim but oct 17 is a full moon and i need to buy a pair just to trim  about a fingernail off.


anyways  lol im watching She devil. llol its a funny movie


im eating alot because this lady told me she eats alot and thats why her hair grows really fast. hopefully that will help. im going to be patientttttttt. its hard though, but thank gawwd this site really helps.

hey journal,


  well i know that my hair will grow ( hopefully quickly by the mercy of God). I WAs reading in an entry, i think hormone pills are a wonderful idea for making hair grow quicker. But how and where will we get it. someone should invent a hormone pill devised to make hair grow super quickly. there is probobly something out there already. its a splendid idea though. i took the skin hair and nails vitamin. its really helping with my skin too, my hands feel softer.

also, if someone (hair salon person) unjustly cuts off precious hair they should do community service. the amount of time should depend on how  much they took off and how long it took them to grow that HAIRRRRRRR.  i think that will help with scizzor happy workers.  patience patience patience.

layers are the worst. NEVER AGAINNNNN
they  are so annoyinggggg.

hey pan 8),


thanks, i thought that was funny.  its a scizzor happy world out here.

anyways i tried a aloe gel and honey mixture as a gel on my hair after a cold rinse shower. it worked awesomely.  i think i might do this everyday. my hair was not frizzy. thats unusual for me. also it held just as good and even better than regular chemical gel. its amazing how hair can make us so happy and so crazy if its messed up. literally it can make a person insane.

dear online journal,


  well i went to a party yesterday and this lady had the longest hair i have ever seen in person. it was mid thigh length. WOW.  I WAs like oh rapunzel is here.  it was amazing all one length, thick and healthy.  my dreammm hair.


 

bonjourno jounal,



  boy, i have never seen my hair this shiny. it has to be the honey. my hair loves it and its also works nicely as a gel with aloe gel. my hair also loves  the head and shoulders shampoo. i use that about once a week, or when my hair feels too oily. it still hurts me that i have short layers up to my shoulders. it feels like a knife in my heart.  oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh all one length hair where are you and when will we meet again. on americas next top model they had this girl with fabulous hair. they made her cut her precious long healthy hair short as a boy. it was disgusting. she cried for 12 hours! they did it because they were jealous freaks. i felt bad for her. no one understood why she was so upset. i totally understood her pain.


  i have been cooking and making yummy things. the food channel is wonderful. sandra lee is my fave.  semi home cooking. she makes cooking so easy and wonderful. the only problem is , is cleaning up the kitchen when your done!


caui

hey moonchild

  the food channel is wonderful! I'm making breads, and soups . yummy food that warms you  up and makes everything better. so far i have made a few things.
1.homemade bread , which is tasty.

2. warm your soul  soup, delicious. rachel ray made it on 30 minute meals. its with  mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, pototoes, rosemary, and lentils.

3. salad, different kinds. shredded carrots(store already shredded kind) are wonderful to toss in soup and salad.


I do love deserts. they now have microwavable brownies which are quick and no mess! lol

Sounds yummy  Feel free to share a recipe here and there. I love soups this time in the year.

dear journal,

  didnt get my scritchers again ???. where are they? if they dont come by sat. im calling. (drinking a latte though makes everything better). i wish i never told my mom  i dont shampoo everyday. BIG MISTAKE. note to self never do that again.  she is telling me i will get lice. rediculous things.  she also tells me my hair is "too curly". OKKKKK. hello i have curly hair not straight hair. that is how the good Lord made me.

  wonderful pic in Suntimes,  this lady michelle duggar, gave birth to her 16 child, with her long goddess hair at 39 years old is wonderful. she is an inspiration and she still wants more . she has two sets of twins.  prior to reading it  in the newspaper, i have watched their documentary on TLC. it was very interesting about there hectic life. they will be doing another one on discovery health channel. her and her husband are nice ppl who are very blessed.  i would love to have twins! i wish .

hey cynde ,


  i missed the episode where cassandra left! please tell me why she left. also i missed the tyra episode where she came on, i really wanted to see that one because i seen the commercial. cassandra has that natural beauty. i think as a model her natural hair would have worked for her. they use wigs sometimes on runways. i agree she would look good bald too. lol.  by the way i read this article in a magazine where tyra banks says she used to be a bully and make girls cry. it really made me change the way i look at her.

Quote:


To ease morning sickness: at night, before going to bed heat a bowl of water and put a few drops of spearmint essential oil in at and place by the head of your bed.  You should wake up w/o feeling nauseus (sp?).

Congratulations!!

hey bb!

  thanks for keeping us in your prayers . it means alot to me.  hopefully, they will tell me good news soon of a blessing. god help them. money cant buy everything. may god bless them on this day/night with a wonderful bundle of joy. amen.

hey juri,

  thanks hun. your so sweet. really you guys are so supportive and i wish my retarded husband was that supportive. actually last night we got in a huge argument over something silly. i think its just hormones flying around. ohhhhhhhh im sooooooo sick and he tells me its all in my head. that hurts. ouch. ohhhhhhhhhh but all hell breaks loose when hes sick. at least i have you ladies support. i was sad and crying after that. and it was something sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo silly!!!!


p.s. thanks for the spelling sympathy

awwww, here's a ((((((hug))))))) for ya.  And here's something for your hubby as protection from your raging hormones.

You can also tell him that this is just a warm up to what you and he will go thru when menopause hits.    (and it lasts more than 9 months! )

dearest hair journal,

  well thank god ryans party was a success. everyone we invited came. it was fun for kids. we ordered 2 jump n funs.  gave away party bags with toys and candy, the kids played musical chairs and won a prize, and for each  family we gave baby blue candles with a baby blue candle holder glass wrapped with a baby blue bow that said happy 2nd birthday ryan! thank god it was wonderful. i played dj with my party songs and cd player. everyone loved the cake. what a blessing from God.

morning sickness- i still feel nausous even now.  i tried the thing that sakina said. the spearment oil thingy. it worked a little surprisingly!


HAIR- soft curls. loves the mist i made of boiled water cooled then added lavender oil, rosemary oil and another oil which i forgot. put it in my spray bottle and voila. a concoction my hair loves. my scalp loves it.  i took a prenatal vitamin and a lysine. i drank a few cups of green tea today. i hope that is safe for my pregnancy. if anyone knows about green tea and effect on pregnancy i would love to know i dont want to harm my baby.  it says natural but is natural always safe?

caui

hey khrome ,

thanks for the helpful info. i will do more research on the green tea during pregnancy.


caui

Due to the high risk of my pregnancies, I was not allowed any caffeine.  I was told (keep in mind, this back in the dark ages) that the caffeine would increase the baby's heart rate to an unhealthy level, plus it can raise the mother's blood pressure, which could cause other complications.

On the other hand, I was encouraged to have one small glass of wine each evening to help me relax and sleep better!     Seems the "rules" change from year to year!

Quote:


100 people? Woa!    But it sounds like it was a lot of fun, and it would be neat if you and the women with long hair became real life hair buddies. 

Don't know about pregnancy tips, but if you don't get very many responses in your journal, you can post something in the LL Lounge. I know Momof6 and ChiliPepper have kids, but I haven't seen them around recently. 

edit: Whoops, I meant the Let Your Hair Down board, not the LL Lounge. Sorry about that.

here are my 2 cents since i just got done w my pregnancy one is to buy the book What to expect when your expecting it was an excellent refrence for those midnight worries. ( my midwife gave me a copy of the book) and talk to your dr or midwife about any and everything that comes to your mind.  I had a lot of odd problems during mine (ie PUPPS, gestional diabetes, and my hypothyroidism was a pain too)  but you will have a wonderful time after the morning sickness subsides.

dear journal,

  hair- ok. getting healthier.  doing herbal sprays, and head and shoulders shampoo.  taking a prenatal and lysine vitamin nightly.  i love my herbal sprays.  i usually keep it in a nice clean shiny bun daily because im sooooooooooo sick. yikes when will this pass over hopefully.  im going to a friends house for dinner today.  she has long pretty hair. her sisters also have nice hair.    i guess  i will just keep my hair in a bun for a night out. i will dress it up with a flower on the side. not sure what im gonna wear yet but im gonna keep it simple. classic black blazer, jeans , black belt and salmon color pointy shoes, and salmon color tank. i also have a salmon color flower. hopefully it will be a nice time.  i like wearing my hair in a bun, it reminds me of french models . ooh la la. thankgod everything in my life is going ok knock on wood thankgod, except that im soooooooo sick and i feel like im going to die when i puke. its gross i hate it. the body needs to get rid of toxins i guess. 

caui

good hair to all good ppl

hey lisabelle ,

  feel free to watch my kids whenever you like and when you are sick of them you can give them back lol.

caui

hey lisabelle,

  adorable pic of your neice thanks for sharing i would love to share my pics, but i dont have a scanner . .
i always tell that to my friends who dont have kids and i tell my brother and his wife. just take them out and play with them then when your sick of them bring them back.lol.  my friend was so supportive when i told that i was pregnant.  i was hesitant to tell her because im on my third and she doesnt have any yet but has been trying(god help all good ppl who try and grant them a baby). she even told me not to have anymore, prior to this so thats why i didnt want to say anything.  i was surprised at how sweet she was.   

pregnancy- 8th week i guess. i have an appointment this monday. im sooo sick. it hurts to have morning sickness the other day i was crying because i was soooo sick and felt so helpless. i couldnt even get up and put my 3 year old cereal. then he told me "im sure you will get better mama". awwwwwwwww

hair- i wear it in a bun usually everyday.  just wash with a dab of head and shoulders. then spray on my herbal spray. yesterday i put infusium 23 a leave in. then combed and put in a nice bun. my mom says my hair is not that shiny. so i dab on shine helper from the  health food store, hopefully that helps. i also read that healthy hair is sexy hair so keep that in mind ppl.

style- i wear these comfty jogging alfits in the house.  they are chic and look pulled together even when im not feeling all that pulled together. just wear them with hoop earings and v0ila. a nice alfit that sometimes makes me feel a lil better.

I hope you are feeling better soon - it shouldn't be much longer before you are out of this "phase". 

As for hubby - a better enticement might be to say that you'll invite mother to come stay with you until after the baby is born!     Guys are sooo clueless. 

thanks BB and lisabelle 8),

BB , you really made me laugh! LOL, tell him my mom is going to be staying with us. hahahaha. thats a good one to! maybe i will try that too!

Lisabelle, i read about those nausea bracelets in a magazine.  thats a great idea. i wonder if i can get them at walgreens? thanks so much ladies.

dear journal,


yesterday was the first time i showed my mom my hair.  usually in  up in  a bun , but i let it down to show her.   she kept asking me "is your hair soft". apparently it looks like sand paper from her point of view. but like my friend says our hair looks like a mop on your head. lol. i always laugh when she says that.

for fridays, i try to keep that my deep conditioning treatment day. so i dabbed a little castor oil on the ends. i heard that is a natural conditioner for hair. i think.  it was fine though.

  it was a rough day yersterday.  my neice is a sophomore at hs and these mean girls were bullying her. they put lemonade and gum on her long goddess locks. are ppl that jealous and crazy. it infuriated me.  they probobly figured to get the gum out they would probobly have to cut my neices goddess locks off( which i might add are up to her butt). girls are so jealous of that. its sick.  me and my sister went to 2 girls house and told their mom. the girl even admitted to calling them a horrible name. i hate to even say it. H***. she appogized and felt so stupid.  i just cant believe the bullying these days. my sister called the school, but they dont do anything. it made me sad for someone to pick on my neice .  these are supposed  to be the best years of her life. every since she went to this school it has been nothing but problems. some girls said my neice has a weave! lol on the jealousy.   my neice is not handling herself well in school. shes not defending herself, so the girls think they can do what they want to her.  my neice has botecelli long black loose curls up to her bum, virgin hair. i admire her hair. she takes care of it.  she wanted to stay in the car when we went to the girls house.  please if anyone knows how to handle bullying i would love advice. it is really a problem. of  coarse they pick on the innocent ones. the hair thing just amazed me. i am in the longlock family.  i know you guys will have some well appreciated advice. my niece is so scared she doesnt want to go to school monday and unfortunately this is how many kids commit suicide. from bullying.  its disgusting.   i really wish there was a solution to this problem.  i personally have never experienced bullying. i never bullyed anyone nor anyone bulleyed me.  i do remember sticking up for unpopular kids in school being bullied.  the bullies pick on ppl who appear weak. i just wish my neice would tell them firmly "whats ur problem". confront them. she is scared to though.  it hurts me so much that i cant do anything about this. the girls who do these kind of things should be homeschooled. obviously they are not going to school to learn.  i will let you know what happened and hopefully someone will get suspended who has put gum in my neices hair, which my sister had a hard time getting out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! times are changing. its rediculous!

bye for now

hi lisabelle ,


  my sickness is getting better surprisingly with the medicine the doc prescribed.  did the wrist bands you have for arthritis work?  also i hope you get better.
it kind of reminds me of acupuncture, which i was thinking of doing.  hopefully it will be ok for us. God help all sick ppl. does it heal the pain of your arthritis completely( the wrist bands). or just about 90%. for my med the doctor gave me for morning sickness it heals my sickness about 90% .  i was surprised.

lisabelle ,

im glad the magnetic thingy works, and thanks for the support.


  [glow=red,2,300]Why i wish i had straighter hair or a looser curl [/glow] TOP TEN REASONS/CONFESSIONS OF AN UNRULY CURLGIRL

1. My hair looks 10x shorter with my tight curls. Hello, im trying to grow my hair long and its so hard and frusterating when it looks like its shrinking.

2.  Maybe i wont have to keep the unruly curls in a tight bun everyday.  I can leave my hair straight  down or looser curl down. 

3. I can have sexy hair. You know, the soft, sexy, silky hair.

4. When i measure my hair it will appear longer and i will be happier because of my hard work of growing it and finally good measurement results.

5. HELLO can u say easy hair. my hair gets sooooooooooo knotty sooooooo fast because the ringlets tangle with each other. which therefore hurts and is annoying. i can just comb my straighter hair, and voila=good hair.

6. no more bad frizzy hair days arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . i wont look like i got electricuted (dont know how to spell it and cant find my dictionary...........bear with me ppl) anymore.

7. I will be happy with the no hassle straight hair policy. LOL. I always wanted straight hair and battled for over 10 years with trying to straighten my hair, by frying it with blowdryers, harsh brushes, and a regular iron( yes the one you iron your clothes with...................... I know  I know......... ).

8. All my friends and family have straight hair and a looser curl than i do. I have the tightest kinkiest curl in my family. THe hair gods have cursed me.

9.  I wont get belittled anymore. Its more accepted to be gay(EVEN thought thats fine  I dont care and dont judge........ so dont judge my hair) than to have curly hair. STraight hair is more respected and professional. curly hair is the opposite.

10. The most important reason which is MY HAIR WILL LOOK LONGER. I WANT MY HAIR TO LOOK AND FEEL LONGER. THATS WHY IM ON THE BOARDS. LONG LOCKS.  BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SHORT LOCKS, BECAUSE OF THE TIGHTNESS OF THE CURL.

P.S. IF ANYONE HAS ANY KNOWLEDGE ON WHERE TO BUY THE MAGIC PILL THAT STRAIGHTENS HAIR I WOULD TO READ AND RESEARCH LINKS ON IT AND WHERE TO BUY IT. THANKS

moonchild ,

  your so sweet. i guess the most annoying part is that your growing your hair but it look like its shrinking. but thats how God made me and he must of done that for a reason. anyways the magic pill sounds too good to be true. ya know what they say.  I think its hard to love your own hair, but i havent straightened my hair since i dont remember when. i know i will get there one day. i keep saying maybe in 5 years when my hair gets longer and all on length. hopefully.

p.s. i like the tip that anais satin had which was dont measure your hair. thats a good one.
