Food | Drinks | Great Convos + Laughter = Girls Night Out

                “It’s nice to have friends that know all about you and still love you anyway”

                       “To have a friend and be a friend is what makes life worthwhile”

It’s so relaxing and refreshing to hang out with your girlies to chit chat about everything in life whether you are the topic or otherwise it’s always a fantastic time. These girls crack me up all the time and definitely never a dull moment with them.

Date night with my girls almost didn't happen because all the places to eat were all booked up and we forgot to make a reservation. We drove around to two main eating places and ended up at TGI Fridays. Thank goodness they had some available tables and we were seated within 5mins.

In a blink of an eye our waiter came over and introduced herself and we placed our orders. She was very friendly and made us feel comfortable while we waited for our food.  Charlia had a Southwest Burger with regular potato fries, Nicole had a Jack Daniel Burger with sweet potato fries and I had a Cheese Burger with sweet potato fries *yumyum*and of course the drink of the night was Mudslides.  This has been the best mudslide I have ever tasted in my life, kudos to the bar tender for making such amazing drinks.

  

Cheers to making great memories and good friendships. Here are a few pics of how our night went:

Flexi-Rods @ 12 Weeks Post

Today’s wash day is filled with loads of moisture and peppermint, such a great wash day with no issues *sigh of relief @ 12 weeks post*

[1]   Prepooed with coconut oil on my scalp and Aussie Moist Conditioner mixed with Extra

       Virgin Olive Oil and Coconut oil with a few drops of peppermint on the length of my hair 

       for 30mins under my heat cap.

[2]   Shampooed with Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo.

[3]   Poured my black tea rinse mixed with a hint of peppermint oil from my roots to my ends

       for 5 mins, then applied Aussie Moist Conditioner over that for 2 mins and rinsed. My hair

       felt sooooooooooooo good at this point, very soft and moisturized which made me 

       contemplate skipping my DC but I really wanted to try out this new Deep Conditioner and 

       old habits are hard to die.

[4]   Deep Conditioned with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask for 45 mins

       under my heat cap.  This DC lives up to its words, my hair felt like butter and so 

       moisturized, really liking this so far.

[5]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 1hr to absorb the excess water.

[6]   Applied Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer , Aussie Moist Conditioner,    
       Herbal Essences Split End Protector (on my ends) and Hot Six Oil to my hair and 
       detangled carefully.

I sectioned my hair in 4 (2 at the front & at the back) and used my wide width comb first then a smaller comb to make sure there were no knots or tangles before rolling the hair.

I had my moisturizing spray bottle on hand for when my hair starts to get dry before I was ready to roll them.

I fell in love with the Aussie Moist Conditioner (review here) and decided to stock up on it since I haven’t seen it here in Barbados. Due to how awesome the conditioner was I decided to get my mom pick up the Aussie Moist Shampoo as well. Now this shampoo has sulfates but I’m hoping the shampoo is just as great as the conditioner. I used the shampoo for the first time last weekend and my first impression is, ummm it's alil stripping on my hair but I’ll use it more first before I give a full review.

NEW VIDEO: My One Year Healthy Hair Journey & Relaxer Results Demo

Let me apologize for how late this video took me to get it up and running.  I’m just taking you down memory lane of how my journey has been over the last year. I’m also showing the entire relaxer day process from my June 2013 relaxer when I was in the salon from my all time favorite hairdresser. Her information is in the video for those of you in Barbados that want to find an alternative hairdresser.

 

I hope you enjoyed the video.
