It is so cold here! Today’s balmy high was a whopping 7 degrees and the low was -9. Today was all about Lisa. I saw John and Gretchen off in the morning and then I watched YouTube videos on hair care and photography. Gotta love YouTube for all the great “how to” videos, I’ve learned so much and all for free. After chilling out in front of the computer for an hour or so I headed to the global market to pick up more organic hair care stuff on the advice of my favorite youtubers. I spent a little over an hour at the global market buying stuff and taking photos and enjoying some delicious strawberry/mango Italian Ice yum! Next it was off to the gym to workout and try out my new hair concoction of coconut oil and shea butter. The sauna is a great place blend oils and try them out; so after my workout I spent about 15 minutes in the sauna moisturizing my hair…looks and feels fabulous. After the gym I headed to the office where I spent a couple hours wrapping up some stuff. I have more to do there but it’s so great to have the flexibility to go in when I want and leave whenever I feel like it. Oh yes I forgot to mention my little car mishap after the market. The streets are icy and I was heading down a main drag when my car slid just a bit and my side mirror caught the side mirror of a parked car; fortunately, there was no damage to the other car unfortunately my side mirror sustained some damage and will need to be replaced, knowing the dealer it will probably set me back a couple hundred bucks for a piece of hard plastic…. oh well. Finally, I arrived home around 5:00 and have been chilling out ever since. I think I’ll need to pick John up at the airport in a few unless he decides to take a taxi. I’d really love to stay in my warm house and not go out again but he’s always doing nice stuff for me so I’m happy to get off my lazy butt and pick him up considering he’s spent 8 hours in the car driving G. back to school.
A couple of you (okay just one) have asked about this “healthy hair journey” thing so I’ve attached a composite photo 1. Oct 31 2. Dec 16 3. Jan 3. Basically my hair was very dry and damaged due to over processing (relaxers) and too much heat. I decided in late October to take better care of it and have been watching YouTube videos my favorite is QB at thetruthishair regarding hair care specifically African American hair care and following a couple online forums and blogs: keep it simple sista and hairlista.com. I haven’t used heat or chemicals on my hair since Oct 23rd. It is a lot of work but I’m already seeing some awesome results. If you click on the photo you should be able to view a larger image.
