Lets Talk !!! So Random

So glad to hear about all the great results with the black tea rinses.... They truly worked for me and stopped my shedding ... They are great , easy , low cost and only takes a extra step in your regimen... Thank God I finally decided to try it !!!






Friday night was the girls night out and of course we went to see Sex And The City 2.... I swear Carrie makes me want to jump up and go shopping. I absolutely love her style..After the movies we went for dinner and drinks... I had a great time...


Saturday I relaxed in bed and did NOTHING ...For a Mother of 4 that feels great !! I don't get too many days like that..



Today we went to church and had a really good time....

I have been having this love affair with Bee Mine Beloved Moisturizer and Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion...The combo for me is explosive..hahahaha... I even added extra Glycerin to my Bee Mine Juicy Spritz... Yeah I got bite by the Juice bug... But if you really think about it...Its not that shocking when every summer I mix Glycerin , Aloe Vera Juice , and Rose Water for my own Juice...I picked up a bottle also of Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 and between all the juice listed above I will be juiced up for the summer..




Trip thing is...My hair is drinking it up... Like its so thirsty... My hair absorbs all of it up and my hair is just left so moisturized and not greasy ... Just soft hair !!!


What I have been doing is moisturizing with the Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion sealing with the Bee Mine Beloved Moisturizer at night... I plan to spritz in the morning with either the Hawaiian Silky 14 or the Bee Mine Juicy Spritz with extra glycerin ... Rotate those two sprays and not worry about mixing up and refrigerating my own mix....


I'm so hyped about the summer... My body automatically slims down in the heat and my hair grows like weeds.. I can't wait to see how much the juices will help me retain this summer !! Next length check September or October....


Because the summer is basically here I will be stepping up my fitness regimen... I have to look and FEEL great in my spaghetti strap dresses , skirts, shorts and swim suits...


-----------------------------------------



I did a braid out today ...I can honestly say I love my hair... My braid outs are so long and thick its ridiculous...My braid outs are like almost Waist Length .I just can't believe it .. It makes me want to never flat iron again ....

Week Before My Relaxer

My temporary black color rinses out a little more each time I wash or co wash... I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to the black yet... So I will just use the rinse every 4-6 weeks...
I'm going to clarify my hair and do a light protein treatment this Sunday to prep for my relaxer .. I'm going to make sure my new growth is moisturized , detangled and soft ... I'm going to put it in a bun and leave it alone and relax at the end of the week... That will make me 14 weeks....

I won't be doing my usual 6 month stretch... My hair grows faster in the summer and the Bee Mine growth serum has it growing nicely... So until it cools off again I will be relaxing every 12-14 weeks...

I will be using Aphogee 2min Re constructor on Sunday ... I also will not oil my scalp or use any of the Bee Mine products near my scalp ...The essential oils can cause burning during the relaxing process...

I Hate When Companies.....

I hate when companies discontinue your favorite products. Ugghhh so I went to the MAC store to repurchase my Studio Stick SPF 15 Foundation... I love this stick ...I use it as a concealer , base for my eyeshadow and for more coverage under my MAC Studio Fix Powder when I need it... I call it my everything stick..

I get to the MAC store only to find out they are discontinuing the Studio Stick soon... The young lady could tell how upset I was and she had to stop me from buying a years worth ... She talked me into trying the Studio Sculpt SPF 15...

This foundation is liquid form vs the creamy texture of the stick.... I'm so happy she convinced me into trying this... It gave my complexion a very nice healthy glow ... It's medium + coverage so I only had to use just a very very small amount... It worked great underneath my MAC Studio powder.. I love the fact that its water resistant .. Perfect for the summer.. .. It cost $29.50..

I'm still hurt about my Studio Stick leaving so I will probably still go buy a few just to have...

TRAYCEE's TIP OF THE DAY

I use MAC Fix+ ..... I just spray it on my face after moisturizing as a base for my makeup... It takes a few seconds to dry ...I then apply my make up then I spray my face again to set my make up after I'm all done... I also use it sometimes during the application process... This spray is amazing... A must have.. It gives your a foundation a very natural looking finish...It makes my face look like I'm not wearing foundation at all.. It keeps my skin moisturized all day ...Keeps my face from getting oily and from my make up melting off in the hotter months...I don't have to retouch my make up at all when using this !!!

" An Aqua Spritz of vitamins and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile , cucumber, top off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance , finishes make up . Spray it on . Your skin drinks it up " $18.00

Hair Toys

I got some toys !!!!  If you can't tell already... I'm really getting into the buns . They look so elegant and chic.


I got the Goody Spin Pins and I love them !!! I did a video about them I'm going to upload soon... They are so easy to use and they do not snag ... Love them  ....

I'm so happy that my shedding is gone ....I thought for a minute I was going to have my first set back ..But the Black Tea Rinses really worked..
I'm going to continue to do them 1x a week or every other week.

I'm about 11 weeks post and I will be ending my stretch and relaxing in the next couple of weeks.. I won' t be doing my usual 6 month stretch this time.. The heat makes stretching even harder for me ..So I will start back on my longer stretches when the weather cools again

When Do You Detangle Your Hair ???

Random

I have been feeling under the weather the last couple of days....We went out of town on Mothers Day to visit family and I woke up Monday morning feeling horrible... I guess this is my body's way of making me rest..

This afternoon I moisturized my hair in small sections with Bee Mine Beloved Moisturizer ...Made one low braid and pinned the braid up and covered with a scarf....

Seems like I only reach for the Bee Mine Bee Loved these days even though I love the Bee Mine Luscious moisturizer also

I have some really good news and updates hopefully I will feel up to doing a video tomorrow....

____________________________________________________

Its warmer and summer is around the corner... I have a couple of summer inspired challenges coming soon

For some reason even though I just did a regimen video and my regimen is on my page...I'm still getting questions about my regimen... If I didn't mention the product in the video then I don't use it anymore...

Bee Mine products has replaced almost everything ..... I still use the CHI line for heat and I started back using the CHI Keratin Mist before adding my leave In's..( I haven't used heat in a very long time)

My beloved LTR Leave In has been DUMPED for Bee Mine Deja's Milk hahahaha.....I love using this a leave in conditioner and detangling....

The other question that I get is which moisturizer do I like better ....The Bee Mine Luscious or the Bee Mine Bee Loved Beloved ??? I love both.....I love using the Luscious for braid outs , Bantu knots etc ..Because it is lighter... I love to seal and moisturize with the Bee Loved when I do my updo's and buns because its more oil based and heavier....

I'm so excited about this line.....I remember when I started my hair journey and I loved the Nexxus line...I used the classifier , shampoo, conditioner , and the leave in...lol....Then some way through blogging and doing product reviews fell into my PJism..

I'm so happy my Pjism is done and I found one line I can use.... I love the Bee Mine and I can't stop talking about their products !!!

I have been all week practicing using Mook on K.I.S.S. videos on how to corn row my own hair...Hahahaha... I have a long way to go but I'm determined to learn....So the last set of corn rolls I did were decent enough to leave in my hair for a few days...I have been spritzing them 2x a day with Bee Mine Juicy Spray and that's it.... I'm going to take these down tomorrow and try again.....

So if you have any tips or videos on corn rolling please share !!!
