Home again home again jiggity jog

From Facebook: This trip has been... Idk... But I've  been blessed to get C home safely, gained some awesome new friends, and have thankfully been shown how shitty some of the people I allow in my life r. It's really good to be home albeit I doubt I'll be in Houston much longer.

I almost honestly would have preferred to drive back.

The Great American Road Trip, the movie will be up soon.

Product Review: Tangle Teezer



Today I tried my Tangle Teezer for the first time. I love it. I went swimming yesterday and decided to wait for today to wash my hair.

I washed with my Nu-Gro shampoo, sulfate, sodium free, all natural. I followed up with a co-wash with Jason Jojoba condition with Nature's Gate Asian Pear and Red Tea conditioner. After I got out, I just let the towel soak up a little of the excess water, and used the Argon Oil as a leave in again. Did I tell y'all last time, I LOOOOOOOOOVE THE WAY THIS CONDITIONER SMELLS!!!

I took out my Tangle Teezer and just raked through my hair. The curls weren't defined except for in the front of my hairline. As I began to rake through, the pattern of my curls started to come out. The bristles of the brush are flexible and it's a sort of plastic, so there is no metal pulling your hair. The way the bristles are set, my hair was evenly brushed through, leaving an even distribution of the conditioner and moisture. There wasn't much body; I was hoping that it would create a little more bounce in my hair than it did. Despite that, my hair is combed! Nice and curly, and without too much hair left in the brush. I had to make sure to go all the way through the ends of my hair to guarantee that the knots at my ends were combed through or came out.

I will be using this product again, and replacing my super wide tooth comb as a first line of defense in the war against combing my hair.

LOVELESS AND THE BIRTHDAY POST, UNDER THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF ADHD

Today is my birthday. I woke up to an apology, an offer for breakfast in  bed.

Albeit, I wasn't invited to the family get together in Vegas, the trip is affordable enough for me to do it my damn self. Whoo hoo.

My FB has been going off in a great way with birthday love all morning.

Cee-Lo has a new video that I absolutely love. I love group dance sequences (one in a million video, friends with benefits flash mob, dancing mascots), and Melvin Todd of City of Ink is taking walk ins this week.

Today is starting off to be a great day.


I'm going on The Great American Road Trip, East Coast Edition and will be stopping by to see Melvin. YAY!!! NEW INK!!!! We've been talking about integrating his Loveless Society pieces into the piece I have on my back.


I have been wanting a cutie, but awesome devilish angel girl for YEARS! When I saw Melvin's Loveless Cupid's, what could be more appropriate for this moment in my life right now? I love love. I really do, but I hate that I love love. Love is overrated. Tattoos are so underrated. SALTS. It's like Melvin brings together my love for Boondocks and awesomeness into this cute rebellion bad ass cupid.

I waited til the last minute, like always, to make an appointment, knowing I was only driving to ATL to get a piece done, and found out that he was booked. I was so pissed at myself UNTIL I found out that he's taking walk ins this week. WOOO HOOOO!!! Happy Birthday to me!

I'm thinking of a devilish angel with a ginormous 'fro singing into an old school mic sitting on a river of music notes in a staff with lotus flowers that have speakers in them. My Loveless cupid will sit on the piece on my back that I already have and the music will go up my back towards my shoulder. i keep envisioning random shit in the piece like a pawn from a chess set and gun earrings like the ones i was supposed to order frome2you. That'll be super hot! I can't wait to see what he can do.

(side bar, i want a SOS tattoo! i liked SOS better than tic tac toe)





Can't wait to get to ATL. I'm really excited for this trip. I've been needing to escape Houston all summer. Just got a new addition on my arm, but it's my birthday, and I've begun a tradition of getting a piece for the occasion.



RANDOM HAPPINESS!


I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT IF THAT MAN WOULD KNOW I LOVE HIS MUSIC SO. A BIRTHDAY RETWEET OR SHOUT OUT WOULD BE SO AMAZING I MIGHT HYPERVENTILATE AND PASS OUT. I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK FOR CEE LO. I LOVE THAT MAN (and he doesn't even know who I am. SALTSSMH).


Anyway, at this point, it's time for me to get off the 'puter, and enjoy my birthday. Post later, prob pix along the way during the road trip. Pray for me cause i'm going it alone and probably with the puppy.

Repost from Mashable. "Survey: Cellphones vs. Sex – Which Wins? [INFOGRAPHIC]"

As one of those users who cannot live without my phone, I have done some dastardly things for the sake of getting a fix. My phone is an addiction. I've gone through church Tweeting. Driving down the highway, picking it up for no real reason just to check it. In the middle of intimate moments, I've definitely checked Words with Friends or answered a business email. SMH. I got it bad... I'm not sure what I could give up for a week over my phone.


Survey: Cellphones vs. Sex – Which Wins? [INFOGRAPHIC]

by Charlie White

It’s no secret how much most people are attached to their cellphones, but now TeleNav has released a survey showing just how willing Americans are to give up the finer things in life so they can still hang onto that handset.

Think about this hypothetical situation for a moment: What would you be more willing to give up so you could still have your mobile phone?

Not only does this infographic give you insight into mobile-device love, but it also helps you sort out general priorities as well. For instance, one third of the US population would rather give up a sex for a week than a mobile phone, but 70% were willing to give up alcohol for that phone?

Or who would’ve guessed that smartphone users had worse manners than their cellphone counterparts, with 26% of smartphone users frequently pulling out their handset at the dinner table, compared with 6% of cellphone (“featurephone”) users?

Worse (and this one’s not included in the infographic) — According to TeleNav’s survey, “Smartphone users were twice as likely as feature phone users to give up hot showers rather than their phone for one week.” Now that’s got to be love.
