 time for another chitchat video. I'm jiggly as hell y'all. My hair, let me tell you something. Yesterday I attempted to do a flexi rod set the same day and what I was trying to say in the video which I don't think I clearly communicated is that I had created a poll for you guys. I want to start, well now since I'm not doing product reviews as much as probably wouldn't be necessary, but I like to interact with you guys as much as possible so I had created a poll and basically asked y'all if I should set my flexi rods the same day and do a dryer or sleep in them. An overwhelming amount of y'all say girl just dry it. Now I want to say a couple of you, at least three or four of you say you will need more than two hours, two hours minimum, but I didn't have two hours. I had one and a half hours to dry my hair and I air dried for two hours. So that's three and a half hours. What the hell? So this is another thing I didn't mention in that video. If you notice the actually the part where I use the Sultanicals product, that didn't dry. But the other sections where I was using meal, that section didn't dry. I mean it was still puffy but it didn't dry. So yeah anyway girl this is what my hair looks like literally less than 24 hours. I knew it would do this. My whole goal was to not go. My whole thing yesterday was I was going to put my hair in twist last night girl after two drinks. No, that was not happening. So we're going to go ahead and set my hair in twist. I'm going to be using a little bit because I feel like my hair feels greasy and I don't plan on washing my hair literally until it's time for me to go to Texas. Yes. So a little bit of these products I'm going to go ahead and section my hair off. The only thing I will say is this failed style has now introduced me to another style. There was a picture I shared on my Instagram a couple of months ago. It was I believe it was a woman from Madagascar and they have this beautiful thick four seat hair where they have their hair in these puffs, textured puffs very much like this okay in a very pattern. Now I know how to do it. Here we go. How was your labor day? Did y'all cook? What did y'all eat? Look I cook a lot as y'all can clearly see from my vlogs and so a lot of the times I don't be wanting to cook. So yesterday I was like I know we're going not to eat. And another thing on the same type of topic I've gotten comments from several of you who are like you know why don't you do a cookbook? Why don't you do a um you know like a cookbook or something or you know catering or you know something to do with food. I don't like you see me cooking because that's what I do. I like cooking. I like baking but I'm not passionate about it. I believe that when you get into you know creating something like a blog or that's specific for cooking or creating a cookbook you have to be passionate about it because you have to keep it. I'm not passionate about any of that. I'm good at it. It's a hobby but I'm not passionate. My best friend is passionate about baking. She bakes every week and I don't mean like you see me with the Betty Crocker kid and no she bakes something from scratch. She decorates it. She's actually taking a class um for the next five weeks a buttercream class that's called passion. So and with that being said yeah I was so passionate that we went to Papa Dose last night. So yeah we went out to eat and it's so funny while I was there I saw my friend Wanda and she was the one who I made the cake for for her birthday um and I was like Wanda she didn't even recognize me at first so she she just wasn't paying attention and she looked tired so she said they just got back from Vegas um I'm not okay. So anyway y'all yeah that's saltanicals no and that's the thing I was concerned about reviewing because on Amazon the Amazon reviews were not that good on some other products especially the non-sauce though. The non-sauce was okay and so the styler had hard hard pebbles or beads. First of all it was watery very watery um which is why that section was still wet and yeah I tried to dissolve it it wouldn't dissolve I can't warm it up because it's already watery and I can't mix it with shea butter because those beads or whatever the heck it is is throughout all of the product and I know one other person at least on the Amazon made that comment about the batch that she received. So yeah y'all moving on girl so I'm gonna be twisting my hair and hopefully I have a young lady who asked me about her styles for college so hopefully I will be able to record that video this week. Yeah so what's going on y'all what's the tea what is happening what's happening in these YouTube streets I know some y'all just saying another folks business I'm just kidding I don't know what's going on. I get on YouTube you know every now then I'll do a recommendation but I also like to look at old TV shows which by the way keeping up appearances excuse me you cannot purchase through YouTube I've already seen every episode twice but that's just those of you who it's a British comedy I look I like British comedy I really do. I could never get into what does it call you guys where they're all at the hotel and the woman with the pink hair maybe it's her that I couldn't get into are you being served is that's what it's called I could never get into that but keeping up appearances is my shit. But then I was also watching an old episode of mama's family child that Eunice and mama's family is a spin-off from the Carol Burnett show she had a skit on there now I'm not that that's not my age group but I used to watch stuff like that just reruns and stuff on TV land right and so they had a skit on there called mama's family and then they turned it into a show with Vicki Lawrence mama's it's so funny to me and I could relate to a lot of it because the mama's from the south right funny as hell that show is so funny to me I used to watch old reruns of that show when I was in college too. Vicki Lawrence looks good y'all she's the woman that plays mama she's in her 70s look her up she's on Instagram she looks really good too. Yeah y'all I look at salt shows like that look at old old reruns of Morton right now I'm binge watching how to get away with murder let me tell you something first of all there is way too much yeah I know how I feel about a lot of sex sex scenes and stuff like literally on this show every other episode they you know what they call it they bumping pocket books first of all I'm allergic to seafood so that's way too much seafood eating on this show if that's your thing more power to you but you know not even just that you know I'm talking about lesbian girls but not even just that all over I don't care what your six sexual orientation is I don't see any of it any of it good lord but that's how it is with a lot of these shows now I told y'all power good power is a mess I can't even I'm like I stopped watching the last I didn't I don't think I watched the last episode cuz I'm like I don't have time to be watching people have sex every other episode every other scene so anyway yeah I'm watching how to get away with murder and I'm liking it you know at first like the first two or three and I'm on season two the first two or three episodes I was like this is slow as hell and I wasn't getting it cuz it has a this is one of those shows it has a formula to it and so at first I wasn't getting it I'm like this is cheesy as hell but it's okay spoiler alert I'm on the second season and I got finished with the scene where Frank shaved his face and beard when I tell you I was screaming cuz first of all y'all I love facial hair I got my when my husband and I were dating I once got him to grow out his facial hair girl girl I love me a clean you got to be clean though you can't be looking like you know you just step out of a cave but I dig me some facial hair but anyway one of the main characters has facial hair or had and but in one scene he shaved it off off but he still looks good now that's very rare to find someone who looks good with and without facial he look he looks real good without a but I prefer him with it you know who doesn't look as good without his beard is caught caught I want to call him coffee coffee who starts in Queen sugar he doesn't look as good without that beard he's still chocolate but he doesn't anyway y'all bench watching that marriage to medicine is back on when I tell you I am here for Mariah shenanigans I really am really am now I think that Quad is gonna have to come to her senses and realize that you know unfortunately being a part of this show means that you have to kind of go into your personal life even when you're going through something that's like a impending divorce you know I do think that you know a lot of her antics and sands and stuff she got from Mariah but I don't know I don't have a favorite I do like Quad a couple of seasons ago she actually responded to me I think it was like two or three seasons ago and it was when her and Mariah had first had a blow-up and Mariah invited Quad over to her house but then she was acting stank stanky at least Mariah was so I wrote Quad and I was like why would Mariah invite you over to the house and then just basically pay you dust that doesn't make any sense to me she respond she's a child I don't know and I will be watching that I will watch out of all the reality TV that's the only thing I'm really watching oh that I would really watch right now I don't do the housewife stuff anymore I didn't even really watch you know real housewives in Atlanta that much anymore but yeah marriage to medicines back and I will be brought speaking of real housewives of Atlanta okay this is one thing I want to talk about let me tell you something this kind of blew up in the blocks this week or a couple of days ago actually and it shows me that most people this is why there's a divorce rate of damn near 70% in this country most people have no idea what a marriage is about so a story that came out that candy who starts on the real housewives of Atlanta and she's also a singer-songwriter whatever and she had purchased her daughter at least she's 16 Riley a car a $100,000 Porsche I mean Candy has coins I mean she has money you know she could spend her money however she wants however the story was she did not communicate the purchase with her husband now the child is not here she had to child with someone else but however they are married and the child lives with them this is my thing y'all and this is kind of goes back to when I was talking about blended families when you marry you become one you know she she get his approval tied to approval no she doesn't need his approval that's her money however if you're making a big ticket purchase a $100,000 car you may want to run about your husband say hey by the way I plan on buying Raleigh a car just want to let you know FYI she didn't do anything any of that the child is showed up with an expensive ass car I mean marriage is that was just not a good move if the story is true it's not a good look do I believe it I wouldn't be surprised if it happened you know I wouldn't be surprised I'm not sure if I believe it a hundred percent but I wouldn't be surprised I think she did something similar to that like she bought something or did something with her money and she didn't communicate it with him before I think she's done something like that before but so no I wouldn't be surprised but we don't know it's coming from the blocks you don't know what's really what's not but yeah girl my husband used to do that just spring stuff on me I'm like no we can't do that you have to communicate oh there's a dishwasher being delivered oh sorry I'm like what thank you but yeah he bought me a new dishwasher like I think it was two years ago granted we weren't married then it was two years ago he bought me a new dishwasher first of all I'm a Leo Leo's we don't like surprises no matter how good it is just communicate you know yeah something what is that smell oh you know what I put I put basil existential oil in my oil mixture yeah nothing else is going on so funny when I ran into my friend Wanda at the store I got to meet one of her best friends I don't know if you want to call it her best friend but a good friend of her hers Jason now I've only talked to him maybe two or three times I met him that was my second time meeting him so when I ask her when I saw I'm not cool you hear what she's like Jason that's okay let me go say hi to him so I went over to go say hi to him he gave me a long hug yeah I love long you know people from the country we have long hugs child um and I like him he's good people he's from Shreveport originally from the country like me she's Shreveport is only like 30 40 minutes away from Longview East Texas excuse me Shreveport is in Louisiana so I like him even though you know we've only spoken a few times I feel like I've known him for like 10 20 years he seems like a really good person um yeah yeah most people from Louisiana are good people to be quite honest not all of them girl but most people from the south in general but from Louisiana Texas certain parts of Georgia we're good people who y'all can y'all believe they already got all this Halloween stuff out and look I know y'all like well have a double did you take create your child's costume yes let me tell you why I went ahead and got this dangling thing out of the way because we're gonna be doing um he wants to do these little festivals in the beginning of the off in the beginning of October and you know we're gonna leave it for Texas soon so I wanted to get it out the way so that I could focus on our trip and when we come back boom we're gonna be doing all this little bit of stuff so yes my child's Halloween costume was I already out the way however Dollar Tree Walmart they had Halloween candy out in August like I'm not even exaggerating I don't know what was going on in your area the out here in Phoenix I was so irritated when I saw that especially at the Dollar Tree they had all the stuff out I'm like Lee can we get out of August the hell yeah y'all I'm still on um this purpose-driven journey and like I mentioned in one of my vlogs I've really been taken the time to basically meditate and be still be silent um and I want to start journaling again I found a bunch of old journals of mine I mean from like 20 years ago and it's really really interesting to see where I was at and where I where I came from and all that um but yeah I'm still on this purpose-driven thing and I'm not certain and I have this conversation with a woman out here I'm not certain if my purpose is going to be aligned up with my career does that make sense like I think oftentimes people assume that your career is your purpose I think that you can use you know your gifts and your purpose in your career but I think they could be separate I really do at this point I really do so I'm not gonna focus on that part I'm just gonna I don't know for sure yet um the problem that I'm having is that I'm good at a lot of different things it's not trying to be cocky or you know there's a lot of different things that I'm good at um I'm good at cooking I'm good at baking I'm good at organizing I'm a creative person so I can make JB halloween's costumes and I can make you know little bitty things for him for school for my friend's family etc but am I passionate about that you know does that really is that something that you always every now and then you hear the question well if you could do one thing in life and not get paid for it what would it be girl is it not a damn thing if you seriously one thing in life and I get paid but sit at home and not do anything yeah don't ask me that question because there's not nothing I would do yeah so I'm gonna get it together though y'all I really am look at that juicy twist look at that this this could be a cute hairstyle right here girl but yeah I will be coming up with that video on I think I'm gonna do five hairstyles that you could wear for either work or school aside for that girl I had to call y'all back because to take a break to check my work email anyway y'all so I don't even know what I was talking about just a bunch of random stuff huh I am ready for my trip back home I spoke to my best friend this morning and I'm like do you have a menu together yeah um we're gonna go stop by her house before stop and see her before we head out to east Texas because they live in thorny her and her husband my best friend and her husband live in a small town called thorny it's going outside of Dallas near mesquite yeah
