Get Lifted...

It's done and over, I got my hair cut clear off! Well not all of it,I have about 1/4 inch all around left. I feel...lifted. Hair is so personal sometimes. Whenever I watch those makeover shows and the women are in tears because their locks are being chopped and they are attached to their hair,I can relate. I was attached for a long time,especially before I had kids because thought that's what men liked. Then I was attached because I thought that's what the kids' father liked. THEN it was what I like but didn't like at the same time.So I decided to waste no time cutting. Now I'vegot to find the right products for my kind of natural. The top of my hair has a pretty curl pattern but my back is coarse. I've had my hair this short before, back in 1997,2000,2001,and 2002. But don't remembered what I used...but I do remember buying alot of stuff by trial and failure.Well, I just fell upon a website called www.naturallycurly.com which seems to have some great info on maintaining the fro. Well,I keep every one posted and I hope to get a picture up soon. I can't find my SD card for my camera.:(

Shopping in the rain...

Today is nasty,wet rainy day in the Carolinas.I don't have a day off this week,so since I had to be at work at noon, I the decided to drive(in the rain) to Spartanburg to do a B&N run and to the mall. I went to mall to just flip around and to pick up a sample of Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology MMPi20 Skin Regenarating Serum at BBW.I received a coupon about two weeks ago and decided to use it. I also picked up BBW's new 3n1 in Pumpkin Pie(It's a 4oz trial size for $3) and my all time favorite night moisterizer Breathe By BBW in At Night.This stuff is miracle worker when you are trying to get some sleep.I got the 1.7oz(remember the budget?) for $8. I ran into one those Gold and Silver Jewelry kiosks in the mall called the Piercing Pagoda and noticed a wonderful selection a costume jewelry like gold tone chandelier earings with beautiful stones. They were just the right length for my neck yet delicate for what I'm about to do.I've decided to cut my hair very short in the next coming days. My mop plus wearing extnesions for the last year has taken it's toll on the mop.So finally I got the courage to shave it down( I'm going to a barber). I'm just going to start over and stop living under this weave/mop:). I'm thinking ordering some Carol's Daughter hair products. I have used the Hair Milk before(I've had a short crop before). But would like maybe some shampoo, a good conditioner, a hair oil, and a gel. I'm pretty exicited about doing it.:)

Going back to my car, I went through Belk where sniffed the new Hillary Duff and Princess by Vera Wang fragrances. I liked the Hillary Duff scent even though it smelled very similiar to Angel by Theirry Mugler. But any I smell with pepper scent smells like Angel. The Vera Wang Princess smelled good but it turned out to be a little too light scented.You can tell it's geared towards a younger woman(15-23).

Smooches!

Bad Mood...

Last night was not a good night.I was not in a good mood because I get home and I got to bathe my kids,play with the kids, put the kids to bed,pick out and iron the kids clothes,eat, fix my lunch,wash dishes, pick out my clothes, take a bath,pack the kids diaper bag, finish washing and drying our clothes and after all this, try to go to sleep. I needed a pick me up. So I painted my nails! I normally don't even do it even though I have vintage train case full of polish plus my win of the elusive Chanel Black Satin on Ebay. I just have no time to keep it up. I can't believe i said that!Anyway,I used one of my Fall favorites,Goldie Creepy Groovey, a chocolate raspberry color I got last year at BBW that has actually kept very well. Then I
used Wet N Wild Fast Top Coat. I used own the fabu OPI Top coat polish but alas I can't afford even that splurge these days.Oh, that's why I was in a bad mood,I'm financially strapped and I want a lot of things for me and the boys.

Then I wake up this morning with a headache because I got little sleep. This morning's pick up: Demeter's Sugar Cookie. Demeters are weird to me but I really like this one.

I hope the day goes better!
