Length Check Updates and Wash Day

Can I just say it was awkward as I don't know what to wash my hair today.  I know WHY I was doing it cause I can't show up tomorrow with my hair in rollers but the whole thing felt off.  A major adjustment to my routine and I can't say I super liked it lol.  However, I did find out why my hair hadn't been feeling a lush and silky after the post wash deep condition.  I wasn't leaving it in long enough the last two washes.  For some reason my brain turned the 15-30 minutes to 5-10 minutes.  Ahh well, I rectified it today.  Hair feels good, I'm at the point my ends start to look a mess but haven't apparently split.  The lack of heat shows up at the tips from hear on in with the stretch.  I remembered to put on my length check shirt today and was pleasantly surprised.  Most of the other shots show my hair barely on the shirt or a long strand or two inching towards the 1st line.  HA, I'm mostly at the 1st line now.  But that is not the goal point so it's just a chance for me to see that this is all for a purpose and it's working.  I made spaghetti for dinner and managed to eat before 10 at night which is good.  I worked out for a bit when I was doing my prepoo with my Hair Therapy wrap but that made my scalp feel like it was melting so I stopped lol.  How's your Saturday going?

Hair Therapy Wrap Update & Other Stuff

Okay this post may be rambling but first things first.  A few days ago I mentioned that despite recovering from Hurricane Sandy that Thiago from Hair Therapy Wrap reached out to me about replacing the gel packs for my wrap. I expected to pay for them but they shipped them free of charge and with a discount on a future order.  The new ones are a bit nicer and look like they'll hold up to my weekly use a bit better.  I think my microwave is a bit stronger than 800 Watts though and that could have contributed to the other gel packs early demise.  Well I guess it wasn't too early since I've had them over a year at this stage.  Needless to say I swapped out the old packs for the new ones and can't wait for wash day to try them out.  But really again I need to commend the customer service from this company because it really is top notch.

Main pack (folded in half)

Today was new release day as well.  And after a so so day of work I was looking forward to grabbing Christina's new cd and pick up Brave for my nieces (and myself cause I'm a great big old kid).  I was planning on trucking into the heart of the city because the closest store to me, I thought, that would have an unedited version of the cd would be 20 minutes or so away.  But for some reasons I opted to check Hastings and was prepared for it to be so high that I'd truck into town happily just not to have to spend 18 bucks on it.  Surprised me for real when it was two bucks cheaper than everyone in town and the movie was the same price.  I grabbed my goodies, went to Wal-mart for envelopes, mailed things at the post office, got two bucks for helping a woman to her car with a large amount of mail, and printed pictures of my nieces and sent one to a former coworker who loved the girls cause she had none of her own.  Even though she does have two adorable son whom she adores.  There's some other random stuff in my head but no need to make this post depressing HA!.  I'm about to get ready for the Voice and my nightly fussing at the tv because America didn't vote the way I wanted it to.  Have a good one.

Welcome to Post 100

Granted some of these posts were imported from my KISS blog so probably only the last 85 were written specifically for PPPC (yes I'm being lazy and don't want to type out the whole thing lol) but here we are at post 100.  Not a whole lot to say today.  Well I say that and may start rambling so who knows.

First let me say that I want to applaud and acknowledge both Cupcake Provocateur's Cynthia and Hair Therapy's Thiago for reaching out to me about orders/questions I had regarding their products while they are both recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Both have been super friendly and kept me abreast of what is going on with them and apologized for the delay that is certainly not their fault.  I have never been in a similar position but I don't know if I'd have the professional fortitude to keep in contact with customers while I'm waiting for power and heat to be restored in my home.  I'm not the best at adapting to things like that.  The one week we had the ice and snow storm and power was intermittent for four or five days I was stir crazy and bitchy by the end of the week.  Keep the East coast in your prayers as yet another storm has descended on them and impacting recovery efforts.

I'm letting my 3D White Strips do their work and it's helping me avoid eating right now.  Not sure how food would taste through the strips.  I am enjoying them for the most part and can see a bit of brightening already but I'm going to wait till Saturday to take a midpoint comparison shot.  I might have better results if I was using the 3D White toothpaste as well but ehh too late now. 

Was totally confused by the Voice tonight and who Blake and Christina chose to save but I think this may be Ceelo's year with Trevin and even though I don't like her Amanda from Team Adam has a good shot too.  She reminds me of Jermaine Paul--strong voice but nothing that connected to me emotionally.  Oh well my vote won't say things in this case.  Patiently awaiting the release of Christina's new cd though.  And then the Voice contestants may have a run in December which will be nice too.  Need to finish my blog stalking and get ready for bed.  Have a good one everyone.
