~I'M BACK!.....PLUS A QUICK UPDATE~

Hello ladies!

I hope everyone has been well since my last post. As for myself all is well I had a great Ramadan. Which was exactly what I needed :)).

While away , I realized that I ( once again ) may be getting a little bored with the whole blogging thing. It's great to do from time to time. I think I much enjoy reading other natural hair blogs , rather than posting on my own (lol) So my plans here on out is to cut back on my posting. I will continue to post, but not as often as before my break. I'm just at a different place in my life right now, and my interest has since shifted a bit. Don't get me wrong I am still on and enjoying every minute of my Natural hair Journey.

I have also started running daily, and have been quite serious about it. I have lost 12 pounds thus far...I am so excited about that.  I feel great when I run, the air...nature..I love it!. In addition, to that I have totally cut out sugar...no more soda's...no more cakes, cookies and candy.  I feel so much better without the use of sugar. I was such a sugar buff, I had to have my sodas, and cookies, and cakes. And, with all of that came....WEIGHT!.  Now, when I get those cravings I reach for fresh fruit instead.

 I have also made the decision to put my children back into the school system this year. After being homeschooled for 3 years.  As some of you ladies know I am very ...very...very involved my my children's Education in each and every way.  For a while I had been scouting out a particular school in my area in which I wanted to have them attend.  I believe it's time..... they are older now, I feel confident in where they are in their studies. I applied and thankfully all 5 of them were accepted....They are excited , just as I am. They will continue to have religious studies at home. I will continue to be fully involved as I always have been. I plan to be a part of the PTA, along with any and all parent involvement that the school may  offer. 

  It's now my turn...... I have decided to go back to school ! ( yay!) I am sooooo excited! Although , I am not completely sure which field I want to go in. I have however narrowed down my choices to either, Early childhood development...medical field... or social work.  But one thing is for certain ...I want to be in a field in which I am helping people. I am a people person, and that's where I want to be. I hope to be in school myself at least by the end of the year, no later but hopefully before ( godwilling). I will be sure to keep you guys posted.

I am waiting a bit , simply because it's been a few years since, My 3 middle children have been in the school system, and the very first time for my youngest ( 6 yr old). I want to make sure they are adapting well, and are well on their way to a great and successful school year ( in which I'm sure they will do well).

NOW ONTO MY UPDATE ON THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT METHOD:

Before leaving I shared a method I found out about over at the real queens.com a method originated by Meeka Jael in which you can find out more about here http://realqueens.ning.com/profile/MeekaJael967
Let me just tell you ladies, I started my own personal challenge using this method on July 23, 2011 and plan to complete it on October 23, 2011. Since staring this method I have seen great progress. My hair has been growing...my hair is always well hydrated ...and the ends of hair has never been smoother, No split ends , what so ever.

I am in love with this method. A lot of ladies compare this method to bagging, my hair has never felt this great when I bagged....OK! (lol). Once this challenge is over , I plan to continue with this method making it a permanent part of my regimen.  If you haven't looked into the green house effect I highly recommend you do so.  I don't even feel That I have to steam as often, since incorporating this method into my regimen ( I do still steam once a week) but I must say its not , a total must that I do so. I do make sure to do light protein treatments bi-weekly to make sure I have that moisture protein balance, and its working ....WONDERFULLY!

So there you have it!...all that I have been up to lately. What about you ladies, anything new?


As Always thanks a bunch for stopping by, and remember to stay ...Naturally Fabulous!

TAKE CARE!:))

~FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT & 3 MONTH CHALLENGE....

Hello ladies!

I just wanted to do a quick post on my first impression on the green house effects.  I have had great results with this method , thus far.  In fact I have the green house effect on my hair as I am typing this post. The results from my previous application were, soft, shiny and very hydrated curls.  I simply wet/ damped my hair and applied my herb infused EVOO to my hair only not my scalp.  I then placed a plastic shower cap over my damp hair, over that I placed a scarf, over that I placed my satin bonnet.  I did this for the entire day and night, its said to do so over night ( I plan to try it both ways to compare the difference).  When I woke up the next morning I did not wash or rinse the oil out of my hair I proceeded to style, and go.

I am very careful not to use to much oil, ( I tend to be heavy handed) because I am not into oily hair, not to mention I cover my hair upon going out with a hijab( headcover) and I do not wish to mess any of my hijab's up due to excessive oil on my hair.  To my surprise the oil absorbed very well into my hair and my hair wasn't oily at all.

For today's method I simply reactivated the oil that was already in my hair , NOT APPLYING MORE OIL. This is very important not to do, this is where overly oiled hair could come into play. I simply damped my already oiled hair from two days before, and followed the other steps, covering with a plastic cap, then scarf, then bonnet.

Its said you can rinse , CO-wash or shampoo your hair as you see fit as long as its all natural cleansing products.  When doing this again I plan to use different oils one by Qhemet Biologics and the other by hairveda, on seperate occasions.   look out for those results.

I've decided to do a 3 month challenge using this method. Which will begin today until october 25, 2011. It's said   you can do this method as many times you like throughout the week.  The purpose of this method is to promote hair growth by creating a natural steamy environment that allows the natural oils from your scalp  to come out. and is great for those who suffer from dry scalp.

If any of you ladies are interested in joining me for this 3 month challenge feel free and comment below.  I've learned about this method from a young lady by the name of Meeka Jael, I believe she may be the originator of the green house effect.  I will gladly leave the link below , there are a few videos there in which can help if there are any questions.
