 So it is night, I think it is. We are going to be chit-chatting and detangling my hair because I'm not gonna be vlogging a lot this week. It's my husband and I, birthday week for some reason. His mama decided to have him the day after me. So we have to share our birthdays together. Just like a damn Leo. Let's share our birthdays together. But Loki, I don't think he's a real Leo. He don't act like one. I'm going to be detangling my hair. My hair is old. When I tell you my hair is old, it is two, 16 days since I've washed my hair. 16 days, 16 days. My scalp, it has some buildup. Now I'm a type of person, thankfully, my scalp doesn't get itchy as it gets dirty. So today is wash day. And today I'm going to be reviewing the Urban Hydration Line. Now those of you who've been following me for a while know that I split up my wash day for several reasons, especially since I typically review a product in the midst of my wash day. So normally I would detangle the day before my wash day, but got kind of lazy yesterday, didn't do it. Since I am off today, I figured I could detangle, co-wash, and deep conditioning my hair today. Then I will style my hair tomorrow so I'm doing Bantu knots, y'all. Yeah, so it's been a while since I've done Bantu knots. Not my favorite style because it's so unpredictable, but I watched a few videos, including some of my old videos, and I think it'll be good. Get to the point. What I'm going to be using to detangle my hair. This is going to be a pre-pool slash detangling video, and we're going to be chatting. So I have VO5, strawberries and cream. However, it looks a little white because I squirted in some of the swabs, coconut oil, and we have Camille Rose, herbal tea, silt and softened oil. Now I added some castor oil to this. Now what I'm going to do is separate my hair into sections. I'm going to be lightly misting my hair and first finger detangle without anything, to try to get everything, the knots and tangles out. And then I will be using my conditioner and the oil. Now, as far as tools go, I have several things over here. I have my nifty-difty comb. I don't even know what this is. I've had it for a long time. I have the wooden comb, and then I have a pick. I also have the Felicia Leather Woods detangling brush back here, but in all honesty, I like to use that brush when I'm in the shower. Yeah, I feel like that works best for me when my hair is saturated. It is completely wet. It's not going to be saturated now. So let me go ahead and section off my hair. All right, you guys, I am back. My hair is section off. Now I do have some apple cider vinegar in here, about a tablespoon to one and a half cups of warm water. So I'm going to go ahead and lightly mist my hair. Yeah, y'all, so school has started for us and thank you guys for all your well wishes for JB. Look, y'all, I'm going to say something that a lot of parents or a lot of people are going to be like, what? Cause there was a couple of comments. You know, JB is so smart. JB is not exceptionally smart. Let me explain. This is why I say this. He's not exceptionally smart. He's average. He may be a little bit above average in certain areas, but overall, he's about average. And this is why I say that. It's because he appears smarter than other kids because I have introduced JB to topics or certain subjects that you typically want with a kindergarten. But I believe that as parents, we shouldn't box our children, you know, just because he's five years old doesn't mean he shouldn't know how to read at five. You know, JB can read a site book. That doesn't make him extremely smart. It's because I introduced him to that. I saw a video on Facebook of a baby it was a toddler, the child looked to be almost two and the child was doing math. Now that is smart because development wise, they're not supposed to be doing math at only two years old. But things like languages, it would be fairly easy for a two, three, five year old to learn another language. That wouldn't make them extremely smart. It's because you've introduced them to those topics or subjects, I should say. But yeah, now what JB is really, really good at is problem solving. Really, really good at problem solving and he's very unique, very creative in that we buy him Legos. He could literally sit with his Legos hours building stuff. Yeah, so that's something that he's really, really good at. It was so funny a couple of years ago. I was at my dentist's office and my dentist, we talk. I talk to a lot of my people I go see and she say, you know, a lot of my friends, if they're kids or smart, but they're not, I'm like, we're down. My girlfriend ended up texting me, her birthday's at the end of the month, Ms. Wanda. And she's like, what do you wanna do for your birthday? I'm like, well, we're going out to eat. You wanna join us? And she's like, yeah, cool, I'll come with y'all. So my girlfriend Wanda's gonna come down. Come down. She's gonna join us for dinner Saturday night. And yeah, then I'm making our cake Saturday morning. I could probably make it Friday. I'm off too by the way. I could probably make it Friday, but I don't want to. I told my husband, I'm like, I wanna go. Yeah, I'm a nerd. And I'm like, I wanna go to the art museum. And he's like, didn't we go there before? Yes, but there's something called galleries and exhibits and it switches out literally multiple times a year. We haven't been there in years, you know? It's in downtown Phoenix. But still, I'm like, I wanna go to the art gallery. So I don't know. This is cute. I have been watching some YouTube videos, not a lot. Mom of Chrissy, what is that her name? Chrissy Mom, the young lady that has, I think she has like seven or eight kids. She posted a video either yesterday or the day before yesterday. And her birthday was this past week too. And the title of the video was, I can't believe he left us. And I don't know what, it's a fairly long video. So I don't know if she got to that. But the part I watch, which I kind of had to chuckle because she turned 28, I believe. And so she was saying how now that she's 28, she looks back on her life and she thought she really knew things when she was in her early 20s. And she's just now figuring things out and I'm thinking, oh, sweetheart, you have no idea. I know that I don't have it figured out. So I think that the mistakes that you make in your 20s, you try to correct it in your 30s. But then you start to, this is how I feel like in your 30s, you're a pan, late 30s, I should say. You're a pan for some of the things you did in your 20s, throughout your entire 20s. Then in your early 30s, you think that you are going on the right path and this is not for everybody. You're thinking you're going on the right path, you've learned some things, but then you backslide a little bit in certain areas. And then finally, in your late 30s, you think you kind of got it and then you're paying for all the BS, whether it be something like credit card debt, like me, ran up your credit cards in your 20s where you learn from it, you're paying for, you actually getting it together in your late 30s, moving into your 40s, you think you got it, you're moving into adulthood almost in your 40s, girl. 28? Yeah, no, y'all, I'm a type of person too that I surround myself with people who are, I don't want to say winners or more advanced, I surround myself with successful-minded people. All of my friends are college educated. If they're not college educated, they're self-made, they're entrepreneurs. Nearly all of my friends have an entrepreneur type of mindset, they're go-getters, because I need to be around people like that. Who else was I watching? Yeah, I made a little list here of who I was watching. Oh, yeah, I was watching Mama Christy and I was like, yeah, girl, you got some time to learn. You know, I keep, not only do I keep friends around that are successful, I keep older friends around. And I mean, like, older than three, to be my mama. I'm technically a millennial right on the cuss, but I don't act like one. And so I ask my friends for advice, not when I'm going through stuff, but like, not afraid to ask people, you know, what's the secret to their marriage? One of my coworkers told me, she said that it's, to say that you're sorry, to say that you're sorry and move on. I'm like, that's the worst advice I've ever had. Socialite Sandy had a video up, but then for some reason, a recommended video of one of her old videos came up. And I haven't been watching a lot of their videos because they're doing a lot of vlogging with the kids and those twins are adorable, but I just don't watch their videos as much as I used to when they were babies. But one of her recommended videos came up was her first twist out attempt. I had no idea she had natural hair. She wears a lot of wigs, a lot of lace fronts wigs. Her hair is extremely, it's not thin, it's fine. Her strands are fine, but she has thickness. Does that make sense? Is that possible y'all? Who claims, I'm not one of those YouTubers who claim to know all about that, but her hair that didn't look, it didn't look thin, but it looked fine. I used to wear wigs, especially the first few years that I was natural, but I had to give my friend a hard reality check. Wanda actually, she was like, well, how can I get my hair soaked in? Her hair was thin and her strands were fine, my friend. And she said, well, what can I do? Because I said, oh, it's your installations. It's your weed. I've seen my friends' real hair once, once in the 10 years I've known her, depending on y'all. I really don't think that if you're doing that 24 seven, I'm talking about people who wear those all the time. I'm not talking about celebrities who every now and then, like Portia, you see their real hair and it's beautiful. I'm pretty sure Portia and them take that stuff out of their hair one or two months. I've never seen that. I mean, I know plenty of women who have long, natural hair who wear weaves and wigs, but that thickness and your edges will suffer. That's just what it is. Hell, mine's was suffering when I was wearing weave. My hair thinned out and all the edges, oh my God. That dang on lipstick alley. Why? Why? Why do I do this to myself? I was actually on there looking up a YouTuber. Oh, I know who it is and I'm a name drunk because I don't care. So I have subscribed to a lot of different YouTubers you guys and I do a lot of lurking every now and then I'll comment and I'll see y'all comment in two. So I'm subscribed to Dre, who does reaction videos. Young God, very, very sweet guy and I love the fact that he reacts to a lot of different videos, a variety of videos, mostly dancing. He does like to react to women trying on clothes, but I like that he also gives the plus size women some love. So he does react to some of those videos. So there's some beef, not necessarily beef, but one of his last videos was regarding Tiffany Seabury. She does a try on hauls and I'm not subscribed to her for the simple fact that I think that homegirl, I wanna call her thirsty, but some of her videos not all are a little attention seeking, but I'm gonna chalk that up to age. I think she's only 24. Yeah, it's a little much. She has a great body that is clearly a Brazilian butt lip, but she says it's from, she was taking a certain type of pills to make her body, you know, whatever you do girls, your body can do whatever you want, but I was going on Lipstick Alley to see the T on, cause I didn't wanna look at the videos. I just wanna see Cliff Notes. Well, I really couldn't find much on them. So somehow I got on Denzel Washington. Someone started a thread. Is there any T on Denzel Washington? Why? I have this image in my mind of Denzel with his fine stuff. I'll take Denzel training day. Denzel 10 years ago. Now Denzel looks like he's preparing for some role. Yeah, no. He's gaining a little weight, which is bound to happen. He's 50, well, 57 still looks good girl. Still looks good. Yeah. Why? Why? Why? It ruins my entire image of him as a person. I have to keep in mind that this is just a man. You know, what we see on TV, that's not really who they are. So sure enough, of course there's a T thread on Denzel Washington. Cause I always say, you know, Denzel's so good. You never hear about him and his wife and the news. That's because, yeah, it has been out. Apparently Denzel Washington and Seniah Latham had an affair. Now I absolutely love that movie at the time. I actually have it on DVD. I love that movie. And they apparently started having an affair after that movie. He was fine in that movie, right? And one of the rumors is that they have a child together. And I'm not like, what? Does Paulette know about this? Apparently Paulette knows about it. Apparently she's friends with Oprah and Gail King and who is it? Tupac Shakur's, Shakur's mama and they were gonna go run up on Seniah. Yeah, I'm like, how do y'all come up with this shit? How do you know this? So, but a couple of people said that, you know, regardless of Seniah, that Denzel is known to be basically a man whore. I'm like, no. Really? Interesting, but y'all, y'all. Now I don't write. After looking at that Denzel Washington stuff this past week and I said, I'm never gonna get on this stuff. I'm just, I really need some information. I'm not going to. I'm just, sometimes I think like, why do those women, I like a lot of those women are older women, y'all. I'm talking about 40 plus years old. And some of the stuff that they be looking up and finding out, it makes me kind of sad. Cause I know there's complete threads. I hope I never get big on YouTube. My goal is 20,000 subscribers, which I'm only 4,000 away. I don't want to have 100,000 subscribers. I don't because I'm actually, I'm already on lipstick alley in a hair, some of the hair threads, that's it. Because they have created threads that are designated to YouTubers. My hair has, I'm not blaming y'all, but even the stylist I go to every now and then, she made a comment that my hair probably isn't, I would not want to say thriving, but it's not at its best performance because I'm not consistent with my hair products. My regimen because I review so many products. I know for a fact that besides using so many different products, I should be waist-limbed by now. I should. I should be waist-limbed. That's not even, you know, not even funny, but yeah, I should definitely be waist-limbed by now. I am only about two inches past bra length. I bought three or four inches from waist-limbed. Now if I stop cold turkey doing all this stuff, I could get to waist-length in two years, probably less than that, but yeah, I want to see a review. Look, I'm low-key blaming y'all. So anyway, y'all, that is it. I just wanted to come on, because like I said, I won't be vlogging that much this week. Just wanted to come on. I know this was very random, and I know I'm not the only YouTuber who has done this. There's another YouTuber who actually does her hair in chit chats a lot. So let me know if y'all enjoyed this. It was random as hell, girl. Random as hell, but I feel like I'm talking to my friend. You know, you'd talk to your good friend on the phone. That's how I want this to be, but let me know if you like this, and I may do this again later on in the future. So thank you guys so much for watching, and thank you as always to all our new subscribers. Take care, bye.
