My hair, currently

I realized, while grazing over the types of posts I create, that I don't speak on my hair too much. Not that anything extremely exciting is going on with it right now, but when your on a hair journey you never pass up an opportunity to talk HAIR!

How many weeks post: 5 whole weeks..... My stretch seems to be crawling right now.

Last wash: Last week by myself. Wanted to go to the salon, but at the last minute decided not to.

Deep conditioned with: Lekair cholesterol plus conditioning creme and Aphogee 2 minute keratin re-constructor (my protein DC) and sprayed some Aphogee green tea re-constructor on as well. DC 15 min w/heat

Moisturized: Herbal Essence Long term relationship leave-in, Castor/Peppermint oil mix, Elasta QP mango butter [ LOC method]

Air dry/blow dry/hooded dryer: Blow dried on low warm setting

My hair feels: Kind of dry. With the weather being all over the place lately (cold AMs with warm days and cold nights or vice versa) my hair is a bit confused, I want to pull out my s-curl but I can't be too sure if it's safe to use all the time.

What I'm loving about my hair right now: How full and thick it feels and looks. I hadn't seen my hair look like this in about a year.

What I'm having a problem with: Theses blasted ends. It's all old under-processed hair, so without heat it's a frizzy mess! Also, my hair is too short to put in a bun so I'm not able to properly protect my ends...It's a bit frustrating.

Any reason to do a style: Had a job fair to attend, so I pulled out the hot rollers I got for Christmas.

Current style: Mid-point ponytail..... #blah

What can be done differently next wash: I need to find a store that sells coconut oil; I want to use it as a pre-shampoo.

That's the 411 on my hair right now..... How is your hair journey going? Since it's cooler out, what types of steps are you taking to protect your hair?

Mind Right Monday

Yay another week down..... And the beginning of a new one! I'm linking up with Dani over at Okdani.com and sharing my goals and the things I am thankful for this week..... Leggo:

Goals for this week:

• Cleanup around the apt and de-clutter at least one room
• Study at least 2hrs everyday I don't work and do 75 practice questions those days as well
• Complete admission application for school
• Send in photos for graduation ceremony
• Schedule appointments I've been putting off for over a month
• Drink at least 2 full water bottles a day..... this will tricky sense I've been craving juice lately
• Do one thing special for myself..... that doesn't include going out to eat!
• Do 1 page for the scrapbook
• Workout at least 2x 
• Create at least 2 more posts for my blog...... this one is tough right now but I will definitely attempt!

I am thankful for:

• This life I'm living right now
• The strange extremely good health I'm in..... after not being seen by a Dr. in YEARS people
• My lovely husband and the time we got to spend together even though he was out on his job
• Water filters
• My job status and the flexibility of being "as needed" right now.... really gives me time to study!
• The things that are on their way in our lives

I'm loaded down this week, right? It's all good though, I love being busy. I will confess that if you read my MRM last week then you noticed I said I would do some scrapbooking..... Never got around to starting it but I am determined to start it this week, I promise!

What are your goals this week? Are you thankful for anything? If you want to do your own MRM don't hesitate to link up here and at Okdani.com so we can check you out and cheer you on! 

Have a fabulous week :)
