 You feelin' much better today? You feelin' much better today, baby? I don't have JB on camera a lot, so we'll, I decided to put him on camera a little bit, especially since he's havin' a child, get up. Yeah, I'm really hyper. Now that I'm in short speaking up in there, I'm gonna show you my old school collection. His old school collection. But I'm actually off limits now, because I'm, it goes right, the way before he used to play the track masters, way before he used to play the track masters. They may not know what a track master is, so you're a track master. With Tom's friends stuff. Tom's friends, Legos, Tom's friends, Legos. And now again, Tom's friends. Alright, baby, so come on, let's, you really hyper, so come on, let's show them. Won't you go through, give me a... So, this is my old school collection. Alright. So, if you're kids watching this, I don't think you're kids watching this. You don't think there's kids watching this? So, that's gonna give you, anyways, I'm just gonna, don't know what this is. Okay. Alright. New, opposite. And I have this old video camera, actually found somewhere in the house. It was just really, well, it was just really fascinating to me. So, basically, it's not working now, but it has to be charged. Okay. And there's a lot of battery. I don't think you need to show most, most of the people who watch my channel, they know about this stuff, so. But unless there's like a kid watching this. Old school phone, you probably know, just press buttons and stuff, so we're not really sure that, because that is not what you got. I know most of them. Old. Be careful, baby. This is an old clock. Yeah, most of them have had one of these. From the 90s or 80s. I guess. Oh, yeah. More than likely, the 80s. Yeah. He's a good job, baby. And there's the little open thing. What the heck is that? Oh, I know what that is. Okay. And this, another one, that's not working. And this is a pulled-arrow camera. It used to work, and you press this, and then, like a jump scare. Something. Oh, it's that you just touched. That big thing right there you just touched. Oh! A boot bump. Oh, my word. Okay, this is really good. You don't have to put that into all the way up. And that other portable thing also has an antenna too. But we're not surprised with that at the end of it. Okay. So, this is the wall again. Mm-hmm. You gonna show baby? Oh, that's a surprise. Oh, baby, we ain't got time to put. Oh, you just gonna show them how to. Yes. Okay. It will start spinning. Right now, it's not plugged in. Right. It starts spinning. You put it on, and it'll be like, don't scratch it, because if you do like this. Yeah, I know. I have a little scratch that I did accidentally. Which record is this? Oh, that's that oldie. Oh, yeah. Um, where's that record? I don't know what decade I'm in. Oh, he likes this record. This record has a lot of scratch. Yeah, you listen to it a lot too, though. It has the Commodores, a taste of honey. I don't know any of these people. Oh, what is this? What are these things over here? Let's just call it a tip or a cassette. So, who do you have? You gonna show them who you have? Who do you have? So... That's Marvin Gaye, too, baby. Oh, Marvin Gaye. You got two more. I can't really see it. Yeah. I can't see it. All right. And so, then, what do you have down here? Okay, tell them what you have in your hand. This is a... VHS. Um, similar to the cassette. All right, and then... It's something called a VCR, but I don't have it here. Now, you show them the one thing that Pa Pa gave you, because I've met a lot of them. Most of them are probably... They know what it is, but they haven't seen it in a while. Chow. This is called a... Okay. It tracks our soup. Yeah, I don't... And there's a huge rule of this kind of, like, tape stuff in here. I don't know about getting an A-track player, baby. And if you shove it in... Yeah. It spins. Okay, so, the last thing you want to show them... What's the last thing you want to show them? This is called a... Oh, it's got deliberate. You want to show it to me? Now, let's head over here. All right. I'm not sure that you just... Man, this is my dang old work keyboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was talking about, whoa, Secret air is big in town, but I can't pull it out. Oh, this is portable TV. Yeah, it's portable TV. It's really popular in the 70s and 80s. Volume then comes off. This is the VCR that I've been... Got things to go well again. All right, you guys. I'm back here. It is Saturday, but look, just because... Let me say this. Let me back up. I'm very grateful to be able to work from home, but it has been a hell of a week. I was extremely busy yesterday. Yesterday, I worked off and on for about nine or 10 hours. When I tell you, I was exhausted completely. I'm so glad we're out of school. I was done. I was spent. I have been working since 5 a.m. And I decided to stop to three hours off and on. And then my intentions were to get up again really early in the morning today and start working again. But things got sidelined. I feel so bad for our baby, so bad for JB. He had a little breakdown today. This is his first breakdown of being inside and being bored. I'm pretty sure you guys have children that have been complaining about being bored and with him being the only child, though, he hasn't had any interaction with other children since March. So with that being said, I've been trying to really do a work-life balance thing, especially right now. It ain't happening. And JB's not going to be doing camp. I know the camps are reopening. We're not doing our camp with all those kids. Because of COVID-19. Basically, yeah. Now we are considering going to an indoor playground. Not indoor playground, girl. No. This Lego thing. But they're very strict. Like, hey, stop it. They're very strict, which I admire. But I think that it's going to be so strict that JB won't even enjoy himself. I mean, everyone has to wear a mask. No one can play with each other, which I like. Everyone has to be six feet apart. At the Lego place. Like, you cannot... I don't know if we're going to do that, JB. And mask? Yeah, I don't know what we're going to do. I mean, there's... You could do that at home. I don't know. I'm going to cancel that, okay? I don't know if we can do that. Because that'll be... I mean, it's like... I don't know how to... I don't know what the feeling I'm feeling when we have to do stuff like this. It's almost like forced fun with this. You want to have fun, with this unsaying of... Twist. Yeah, it's a twist, but there's... I don't know how to verbalize what I'm trying to say. They want the kids to have fun, but you've got to be very careful. You know what I mean? So you've got to be six feet apart. You've got to wear a mask. The kids got to do it. And I'm like... Those kids are going to be all under... They're going to be squished. JB, yeah, we're not going to do it. We're going to have to find something else to do. Especially... Libraries are closed. I'm not going to no cap, baby, for mask on. So, yeah, I'm just vinting. I'm sorry. I'm just vinting because... I want my child to be able to have fun and not to necessarily have fun, but I don't know what I'm trying to say. What is this? It's all squashed. Oh, let me show y'all what I ordered. So, I ordered this Infinity Pro by Conair. This is a titanium. Is it titanium? A titanium flat iron? This is what I'm going to be flat ironing my hair with. And then I went ahead and purchased another red by Kiss Blow Dryer. Now, honestly, I could have... What do you call it? Am I... What do I call it? Influencer? I have a contract with them. I could have gotten this for free, but it was only like $20. So, I went ahead and purchased this from Amazon. It has that detangling pick and the other stuff. And I have several other attachments that I can add to it because this is the best one I have. Okay, I went ahead and unwrapped this. The one thing I like about this titanium flat iron, again, is that it is by Conair. It has an on-off, but it has a temperature setting. So, it can go all the way up to like 450. Hey, you guys. It's just a real quick video because I know not everyone is on social media all the time, but I did post a message on my community tab earlier. There is something funky going on with my hair. It feels extremely dry. Like, hey, straw dry. The porosity feels off. My ends feel fried. Either I need to really do a... I need to really clarify, or I'm on my way to protein overload, which I don't even want to talk about that. So, I'm trying to determine... Well, at first I was trying to figure out which product was the culprit. I can't do that, y'all. I will say I noticed a change about a month and a half ago, and it was after I used this product. I don't want to say it was this one. What I'm leaning towards, it's using a bunch of different products. After I did this Dabarbatica deep conditioner, I used the TGIN Twist and Define Cream, along with Eco Styler to do a wash and go. Wash and go was banging. Oh, it was beautiful. But we all know that Eco Styler Gel is drying as hell, right? Did that. Then immediately after that, I used the two products by Texture ID. Trash. I had to say it, but... And not only did I use it once, but I used it three times. Oh, yes. I used it three times. So, wash my... Y'all, we'll get to it. It's hair. We'll get to it. So, wash my hair in between the Dabarbatica and Eco Styler, right? And I noticed something was a little off them, but not as bad. So, then I used the Texture ID. This is after I did the wash and go. I noticed it wasn't... Something was off, but it really wasn't that bad. So, I'm like, let me go ahead and use the Texture ID anyway. Use that. Then when I went to go wash the Texture ID out this time, this go around, it feels... Yeah, something is off. So, a couple of things that I plan on doing to try to correct this situation is immediately go through all of my... First of all, go back to my oldie track which three products that work for me. However, if I feel like I'm a little bit on the protein, I'm gonna go through and eliminate as many products as possible that have protein, which is really hard to do with natural hair products, you guys. But there are some that are out there. Sorry, I have to do something with the coloring, but look, I need to make this as easy as possible, especially with all this hair. So, one of the things I did was look at a couple of videos. I looked at four or five videos, went onto the old school long hair care forums to see what women were using. I added a couple of things, items to my Cart Amazon Cart, not a lot, three items. I was running out of sweet almond oil. I added sweet almond oil, which is great for moisturizing your hair. I ordered the Lada Body Style Milk, which apparently has no protein. And I ordered what I'm gonna show you here, another jar of the Eden Body Works Natural Peat Conditioner, which is protein-free. Now, there are other protein-free conditioners and leave-in conditioners out there. You can do your own research to determine what products are best for you. I'm gonna turn around. I'm gonna show you what I'm using today and what I'm going to do today. I'm going to do a quick clarify, but I feel like I need to detox my hair. So I'm gonna show you. I need a lot. You know what? I will probably have to go the whole foos to find some more clay. I'm going to be doing a detox with clay next wash, then follow up with moisturizing deep conditioner, and then follow up with a leave-in, plat up my hair, moisturize my hair as needed. So let me turn the camera around and show you guys what I'm gonna be doing today. Mind you, I already washed my hair this morning, but it feels horrible. It feels horrible, so I need to go back in. Before the bald light went in my hand, let me tell y'all what I did. So this morning I finished up the African Pride's pre-shampoo review, right? Coincidentally, the African Pride line that knew moisture, is it moisture milk? Moisture milk line. It's protein free. Cool. But me being ignorant and extra, after I added the pre-shampoo, I added coconut oil. Girl, saturated my hair. So no, that the coconut oil today wasn't a culprit, but it just added to it. As I stated, the last three washes have been a mess. So let me show y'all what I'm gonna be using today. So one of the benefits of being a product junkie is that I was able to find some products that are protein free that I can use right now. So I'm gonna be using this detox purifying shampoo. I know this is probably not protein free. Let's just be real. But I wanted to go ahead and do this to basically strip my hair. I'm gonna be going in with ACV rinse. And then while I'm in the shower, I'm going to put on the, this is Eden Body Works Natural Dependitioner. I added olive oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E oil, and half a cup of honey. I'm not playing. Gonna add that to my hair while it's soaking wet. I'm gonna sit under the blow dryer for 10 to 15 minutes. Breathe. Another thing you guys, is I have been using fenugreek oil. That was my go-to oil. That has some protein. I went back and added my own DIY oil, vitamin E, castor oil, castor oil, sweet almond, olive oil. That's it. Again, try to, I know this seems a lot, but yeah. What's on them? All right y'all. It is the day after my wash day. And, JB, I'm talking to them about something very serious. My hair is jacked up child. So, it's the day after my wash day. And, you know, while I was cleansing my hair, I was rinsing it out, and it feels, it feels a little better. It is no more near, like it feels 25% better. You have the coloring. We look good, huh? You look good. You're so cute. So, a couple of things I did. I went ahead and purchased the Eatin' Body Works Natural Conditioner that has no protein. And, I purchased the curl milk, style milk. What is this? Curl style milk by a lot of body. That's coming through Amazon. And, I also purchased some bed tonight clay. I have a little bit of that love. I need a way more than that. Child, I was like, I mean, I may need to do that Coca-Cola, Cherry Cola, whatever that. Y'all know that, that Coca-Cola. It basically was like that. The Cherry Lola Moisture Treatment, that was really popular, like six or seven years ago. The TGIN has coconut oil, but contrary to what people think, coconut oil really doesn't have a lot of protein. So, I'm still going to use the TGIN. That's what I used on my hair yesterday. The Aunt Jackie's Defining Curl Custard Curl Lala apparently has no protein. Now, I did look up this generic, it's a tan, Miracle Hair Mask, Deep Conditioning Hair Mask. It has keratin, but keratin is okay. But right now, I'm going to do a hard pass. I'm going to stick to, I'm going to stick to the Eat It, Eat In Body Works. Sorry, y'all, my phone is ringing. I'm not going to answer it. I'm going to stick to the Eat In Body Works and the TGIN, the TGIN Honey Miracle Mask, because I can get those locally, because I'm going to be deep conditioned in my hair every week. While I'm waiting on my bed tonight, Clay to come in. Bam! I usually have a big thing of this, container of this, and I didn't have any. I'm really using this. So the Camille Rose Honey Hydrate, apparently has no protein. This stuff is expensive, but I was sent this like two or three years ago, and I have quite a bit left. I'm looking for minimum protein. So yeah, it does have keratin, amino acids, but a cholesterol treatment is totally different from a protein treatment. The cholesterol treatment typically leaves my hair feeling very moisturized. So with all of my deep conditioners, I will be adding honey and oil. So let's take down a part of my hair. Y'all, this back here, again, I already moisturized my hair, and what I'm going to be doing is moisturizing my hair every two days. It's still wet. Now, yeah. It's deep conditioner. Let me see what this feels like. It's wet. It's not dry yet, so it's really hard for me to determine, because I don't know what to do with it. I don't know what to do with it. Because it's wet, so it feels, but look how it looks. It looks like... It looks stringy, doesn't it? Can y'all see? It's stringy. Your mama's stringy. Oh, I am your mama. It's stringy. You know what? Put it in the box. It's going back to Amazon. That's not happening. Put it back in the box for me, baby. It's kind of dry. Oh, yeah. It feels horrible. Look at that. Look at this. Hair has never looked like this. Are these... fairy? I definitely need a good trim. That's for sure. All right. Since my hair is wet, let me go ahead and add a little bit of this Camille Rose. It's heavenly. That feels really good. I'm going to keep using those same products. You know what I mean? Right now, I'm using what I have. But yeah, definitely, once I detox with the clay, clearing fine shampoo, and then I'll go in between the eating body works and the TGIN deep conditioners. Yeah, Jamie is playing real quick. I want to say this to you guys. Just because I'm not speaking on what's going on right now in this country and other countries actually, doesn't mean that I'm turning a blind eye. I just cannot do it right now, you guys. My husband looks at the news while the news is on for hours while he's here. And I am so, so drained. Emotionally, spiritually drained. So I received the text message a couple of days ago from a concerned mom. And she's a white woman, an older white woman actually. And she was just being very sympathetic. And she's like, how do you explain? What does she ask me? She's like, how do you explain? Hold on, Jamie. Hold on. She asked me, how do you explain what's going on to Jamie? I'm like, Jamie has no idea what's going on. I want my child to be a child. Now, let me say this. Jamie's only seven years old. He absolutely understands that there is racism alive in this country. Unfortunately, my baby has experienced it himself at school. That's a whole other subject. And again, one of the reasons why we decided to hone school. But I don't feel the need to share with him what's going on right now. He sees it on the TV. He sees all of that because my husband is watching it. But he is also so sensitive that he asks that we turn it because he can feel the anguish and he gets anxiety from looking at that. Um, he's going to be a black man in this country. We are absolutely going to have to, you know, have a sit-down talk on what to say if a cop pulls you over, you can't wear a hoodie or a dark hoodie. We have to have those discussions that are age-appropriate. But to tell him this stuff now, oh, I want my child to not worry about these things. I want my child to be a child, okay? All right, y'all. It is three o'clock. I'm going to get started. Really, I don't have to, but I'm going to sit on my drain. That's what we got to do. Girl, it's been a try-in. It's been a try-in week. So I'm going to be making this. I'm almost like a French martini, but not really. We have here vodka, Chambord, um, rum, cranberry juice. I have a lime juice sweetener. I have coconut sugar. Make it pretty. And I have a lime. And there you go. All done.
