Well I've used the Head to Toe Honey Wash and while the smell wasn't exciting, it did lather pretty well and was moisturizing. That's a plus. I used the whipped pudding as an after bath moisturizer and while it smelled great at first application, yummy and chocolate, it soon became sticky and cloying as it sat on my skin. Not cool and I'm not a fan. Ahh well Oyin, you've failed. And I really, really wanted to like you. You seemed so fun and so cool. But now that I've gotten to know you, I take it all back.

Now, I'm being swayed by wanting to try Anita Grant's stuff. Part of my wants to jump into the product junkie fray, part of me just wants to stay with KBB. I mean AG's stuff will be mad expensive with the currency exchange rate, and will probably take a long time to get here as well. And man, if I hate the smell, then I'm going to be doubly upset. Too bad she doesn't have a storefront, maybe the next time I'm in England, I can stop by and smell and if I like, stock up. Ha, that probably won't happen so, oh well.

That reminds me, gotta get some more KBB. At least she's in the states and can supply quickly. I like that very much.

Wow, I keep saying this every week, but where has the week gone?! It's nearly Thursday. I'm trying out a new... substance for my jacked nail. We'll see how it's going to work. I have to give it three months, I think, three months daily. I can do it.

Anyway, I got my Karen's Body Beautiful stuff today and I have to say, after using the Deep Conditioner and the hair milk and the hair butter, that I'm liking it. I don't really like the smell of the luscious pear in the deep conditioner, but I like the conditioner itself. I can always get it in another scent, or unscented. Surprisingly, she did send along samples where I could smell the scent in the form of little lotion tins and I really liked Egyptain Musk. I thought that would be the only one I wouldn't like. I do like all of her scents except Vanilla Lavender. I've never really liked that scent. I adore the vanilla latte, which I did NOT like in the beginning. I thought it was too almony smelling... but it soon morphed into something spicy and citrus-y and yum. And I figure I can mix the pear with the cranberry. The cranberry cocktail smells awesome and the white tea smells like, well white tea. I wasn't surprised with it. It was nice.

Now, I'm awaiting Oyin. I hope that I like it as much. I should be finished with this Karen stuff by the time Oyin arrives. So, for the record: loving the hair butter and the hair milk and the deep condish. Prolly try them in the E. Musk. I got a hair cream and a hair nectar and the luscious locks to try. Oh and the shampoo bar. Yay. Go Black owned businesses, I support you.


Oh and DAY TWENTY ONE!!

My goal is to reach one month and then assess my situation. Am I stable enough to have a little chocolate and not go overboard? How do I feel about cutting out refined sugar as a next step, no sugar in coffee/tea, no white bread, no jelly? Then moving next to less meat. I'm not fat, but I really lost a lot of fat and was pretty gaunt when I cut out meat a while back. It was kinda scary.


And because the counting days works so well for me I'll start another *fingernail* one.

Day One :)
