I just LUUUVVV this product.

I just had to share some info about this product that I absolutely LOOOOVVVEE using in my daughter's hair.  I have tried it as well  (& loved it too LOL) but, my consultant wants me to wait until I was completely locked before using ANY oils.  But this product is absolutely lovely.  Now that my daughters hair is completely locked and she no longer has to band and braid, we have been having a blast with this spray. We use daily, no less than about three times a week or so, and after washings.  Ok ok so what is it?Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Nutrient Spray.

 It has three different oils in it. Olive, avocado and shea oils deeply nourish each layer of hair - weightlessly. Olive oil nourishes the hair's inner core. Avocado oil nourishes and softens the middle layer. Shea oil nourishes and smoothes the surface of the hair. Hair is fortified and infused with nutrients for silky, healthy sisterlocks, full of life.  The one thing I LOVE about it, is that it is weightless, so you won't have to worry about it pulling and weighing down your hair/locks, which later causes bald spots and thin edges.  Too much product or products heavy in mineral oil, likes to stay locked in your locks and later can become a major problem.  Needless to say there are a lot of GREAT products out there, they just have the potential of staying in beautifully locked hair.  So please please please, read those ingredients thoroughly on your hair products.
  Although it says triple oil nutrition, it also contains black currant seed oil.  I am not sure if this 4th oil contributes to the smell or the shine, but you have to try this, it is sooooo nice.  And to mention the smell, it has a light, clean, yummy scent to it.  Let me know if you picked one up while you're out and about shopping.  It only costs about $3.65-$4.50 or so.  So it's well worth the price. I hope that you will enjoy it!   Until next time.  LOCK ON!!!

BRACING WHILE EMBRACING...

So my husband and I celebrated 13 years of marriage about two months ago.  We planned to celebrate a week later.  Unfortunately to our dismay, we did not know that we would be attending the funeral of a dear and close friend who was a big brother to us and so many.  One of my closest friends whom I consider to be a dear sister,  lost her husband on February 8, 2011.  He went home to glory unexpectedly, due to a tragic car accident.  I could not even feel the floor beneath me when I heard the news.  It was extremely devastating and is still an extreme process of grievance.  This guy, our brother in Christ made us laugh, exemplified TRUE LOVE to his wife and family, and was just an amazing person.  Please keep his lovely wife and family in your prayers (The Vann Family.)
     So while we celebrated our anniversary, we had to brace ourselves while we embraced.  Holding each other while remembering that tomorrow is not promised to us.  Bracing ourselves to be careful what we say and how we say it, because having no regrets, like this couple had is a beautiful thing. 
   Of course, knowing the type of person he was, he would want us to be happy.  He will never be forgotten. 
These are a few pics from our dinner cruise and our weekend together.  May God bless you all.  Remember while you are bracing yourself for life's unexpected occurances, always embrace the ones you love, because tomorrow is not promised to no one.
Stay strong and lock on. 

Wow my hubby has lost 27 lbs. since this pic was taken.  He has been helping me too.  Will post about that progress later, maybe summertime.  Still have to love yourself wherever you are, enough to take care of yourself.

This pic did not come out so well because of flashback, but at the same time you can see how my edges are coming along.  My edges and a few sisterlocks I had to cut are finally growing in.  I will fill you in on that later...

Look at our Baby, isn't she growing?  16 months and very sleepy and full. :)
