It's been a while!

Hey you all! I know I've been MIA but it's not that I've been extremely busy! It's just that I've been lazy haha. My YouTube Channel is somewhat more up to date but its not like I've been gone for a month. Yesterday was my younger sister's high school graduation and was also a very long day for me lol. And also other great news!! I won a promotion at our local Mall for a Gift Certificate of $20 :) Yay! It may not be plenty but I will surely take it. And I have a chance at the end of the month to win a $500 certificate! SO keep your fingers crossed for me lol. Well that is all for now. I'm thinking of doing vlogs or w.e. on my youtube channel so do stay tuned in for the latest lol.

Trying to build a regimen!

Ok Ok! I have been stressing over my hair of recent because I am really trying to have a HHJ. However, I'm having some setbacks due to limited funds. So I am trying to build a regimen that encourages healthy growth and maintaining my ends keeping in mind that I'm gonna use what I have. I want to

Wash my hair on Sundays (preferably in the evening most likely starting in the late afternoon)
Prepoo most of the time but not all of the time
Wash with my Mane n Tail Shampoo or Pantene Shampoo (sometimes using both)
Deep Condition always
workout/use hooded dryer for heat (for an hour)
rinse and rollerset to airdry overnight
OR
rinse moisturize and braid-out to airdry overnight

Tuesdays and Thursdays are Co-wash days
Cowash with Pantene Conditioner
rinse
deep condition always
rinse
braidout to airdry

Daily: Every evening before bed I will moisturize and seal then wrap my hair

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!THIS IS ACCUSTOMED TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AND HOPEFULLY WHEN I GET MORE PRODUCTS :(

Okay...I didn't keep my promise :(

[BTW I AM TAKING ON THE KISS ULTIMATE SUMMER GROWTH CHALLENGE :) ]

Alright! just last night I said that I would keep my braids in at least another week but I ended up taking them out (insert cut hip here). I really tried but now that I did it I do not regret it! I have come to the conclusion that braids (extensions) are not for me! I am not going to put any form of braided extensions or twists in my hair ever. It was not worth it as my hair was hard to manage and keep back in shape after taking them out. I have thin, fine hair and the reason I took them out early is because I wasn't sure if my hair could handle it. I was right to an extend as I had a lot of hair loss (yes I know its normal but it was too much for me). Also the tangles were ridiculous. So in my opinion on my hair personally I don't think it's worth it. After taking the braids out I shampoo-ed, DC while detangling, worked out in the main time :) and then rinsed out...put in a leave in then roller set (pics tomorrow hopefully). I am glad this happened in a sense is it is a form of motivation for me! I am ready to get good products (funds are low at this point) and get on point with a workable regimen. I do have a lot of new growth :) well I like how it looks cause I haven't really seen in it in some time now lol. But, I am getting there! Continue to keep me in your prayers as I get it together!

With Love,
Shay

p.s. my dad knew why he didn't like those braids for a reason and why they were never put in my hair as a child!

<3

I JOINED THE K.I.S.S. COMMUNITY :)

THIS WAS MY FIRST BLOG POST ON THERE:

I have decided to make it official and document/monitor my progress. I am travelling this hair journey road! I have been taking better care of my hair significantly since I got it re-relaxed (it was relaxed then i went back natural due to bad care and breakage) in June of 2008. I have vowed to myself from then that I would take better care and I did. However, I know that there is much more that I can do. I have been watching YouTube videos for some time now (years) and feel like I am in a better position to make this possible. I plan to move to the United States this August for school and feel as if I will have more resources available and easy to access. I want my Journey to be one involving relaxing my hair. However, I want to stretch my relaxers to the fullest extent as it will be less costly while I am off to school and healthier for my hair. I joined this community to help me with my progress and to continue to learn. I am so excited about it that I am ready to rip these braids out (not literally) and get to it! haha
I've had the braids in for almost 4 weeks and I want to try to make it one more week but I may take them out on Saturday...but I'm still pushing for my 6 week goal! But please continue to pray for me on this journey! Thanks for the love....

Shay!

p.s. my father especially can't stand my braids which makes me want to take them out even more! but imma hold on!

YouTube - Hurry Up Already Fetus Tard!!: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia9Go7aVcbU"

Boring is the New Normal for Me :(

So today was..yes you guessed it! Boring. I felt weak and tired for majority of the day but at least I was able to act on it and rest to an extend. I also cleaned (wooohoo-party!!). I cleaned the kitchen, moped etc and tidied my room. I'm starting to want to take out my braids again but I'm holding on lol! Well I'm looking forward tomorrow, if O don't get leave, to go with my mother and little sister to my mom's work. Her preschool class is going on a field trip. Yes I know! It's not the greatest adventure for an 18 year old but it's something and I need to get out this house! Well until tomorrow...I shall finish watching these YouTube video and then hit the sheets!

Oh and BTW I made a tribute video to the ShayTards! check it out...

Feelings...

I don't know why but I've been feeling a bit distant. I'm more to myself. I mean I want to do stuff but when opportunities come I don't jump on it to much or with much enthusiasm. I do love the alone time but this was not meant for me!! I believe that having nothing to do is really driving me nuts. I have never not have anything to do! [sorry about the grammar error hehe] I am an active person and I love that! For all my life and no I literally am doing nothing and it's not even by choice. I wait daily with my computer on all day within reach for something to happen for a job or just for the days to move quicker. I must say though, time is moving at a steady pace. I just can't wait till I gain purpose again! I don't know how bums make it :|

A pic I dec-ed out while on picnik! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not claim the images in this pic as my own. However, I do claim the design and organization of the pics.

Summer Drainage!!!

I don't know if it's the heat or that fact that I have nothing to do daily but I feel drained. I have nothing to look forward too (besides going to Univ.) daily and as each day passes I feel like it's been wasted. The computer has been my absolute biffl and I'm actually getting annoyed with it because it has sooo much potential to entertain but can be sooo boring! You guys please give me some new free sites to check out! I really need a job pronto because I feel like a bum with no money. I have things to do, and things to buy its ridic! YouTube is entertaining me for sooo long but I have already watched all my subscriptions, twitter is only buzzing about the game and the mtv movie awards and facebook is just a dud! Oh and I've dec-ed out some pics on picnik and will post them for you to enjoy. Any-who, maybe I should write a blog daily to help with this EXTREME BOREDOM!

Hair Talk:
BTW, I have my hair in box braid extensions and it's been 3 weeks now!! I'm doing good lol although I was tempted to take them out today and a few days ago. However, I will push through to my 6 week goal...well at least 4/5! It's rough but then I realize the benefits of it just being able to put up in a style that is appropriate for any occasion. I can't take the smell of the braids but thats an easy fix with a wash. However, I do not wash frequently because I don't want to strip my scalp. My next mission with my hair is to perfect my relaxer stretching skills and find methods and products that'll help me to do this. So if you have any suggestions, comments, ideas, you know what to do!!

LOVE YOU GUYS ALWAYS :)

Update!

Yo! hows ya doing lol..I'm just chilling by one of my besties! We did sooo much fool. We hid our faces out of chatroulette convos and got the people to do compromising things then we told them we were filming and sending it to the police or something silly like that (we we're). It was hilarious to see how quickly they went off our screen. Maybe that'll teach em to use chatroulette for positive things lol. Maybe we'll play the Wii.
