So... even with braids on, I still wash my hair and condition it every week! I do hot oil treatment with Mustard oil. I love it. It gives a tingling sensation every time I apply it before my co-wash. I usually heat it up on the microwave for about 30 seconds before applying. I leave it on for the whole night and the next day before washing it off, I skip ahead and just apply deep conditioner to my hair. I wet my hair a bit with water using my spritz bottle. I used eggs once but I didn't like it because even after thoroughly spending an hour in the bathroom rinsing off my hair, the egg kinda of got stuck inside the braid and didn't want to wash off. So no eggs on my hair when it's braided. After deep conditioning, I co wash with my aloe vera conditioner and clarify with some apple cider vinegar. My hair feels amazing afterwards! So soft!
My plan is to have the braids in for a month, then take them out and let my hair breathe for two weeks then put new braids again...so far, so good!
I came across Flax seeds, and to make long story short, I've been incorporating ground flax seed every day to my diet. The benefits of Flax seed is Colossal. It's like killing a thousand birds with one stone...you get the idea. As for the exercise, I'll keep you updated when I finally join the gym.
In other news again: I've decided to give the Six week lent a try. I've never done it before, so I wanted to try it this time around.
Since you're suppose to give up some things you love for lent, I've decided that for six weeks, am not going to eat chicken or any fast food! It's been week one, and I stumbled and almost fell completely. My brother came home with Mcdonalds and handed me the chicken nuggets, I fought so hard not to even look at it, but my appetite finally caved in and I took a small bite. There are still 5 weeks remaining...I shall not let temptations overcome me!.
Update: The lent was an Epic Fail. Couldn't make it past the first week.
