Go ahead and get your snacks get your beverages My hair is dirty. We're gonna put her down some so y'all can see this hair is dirty It's been probably almost a month since I've done something So y'all y'all know how this chitchat goes we talked about what's going on my personal life We talked about what I'm watching on YouTube and what I'm watching on TV. So y'all while we're doing this I'm gonna be organizing my nails. Oh, sorry y'all I'm gonna be organizing my nails stuff so that I can do my nails later on ain't doing it now cuz I'm busy a Lot has happened. Let me put this hair back up girl. I'm hot If things look different first off, hey, how y'all doing? If things look different, that's because we have moved We have moved into our short-term lease apartment out here in lovely Phoenix, Arizona Girl, but these prices ain't lovely. Oh my god I know that most of you are aware where you're at the price for rentals for apartment rental is skyrocketing It is absolutely crazy Um We're paying 2100 for short-term lease typically will be 1800 even that's expensive. Hell that's Both of those are more than what our mortgage was um Very anything but when it's plumbing because I'm in the bathroom. This is the only place I could feel that So we moved from an almost 2000 square foot home into our 1100 square foot apartment honey Most of the stuff that was in my woman's shed sheet room get the hell out of my face room It's in storage. We had to put all of the decorations pictures in storage We sold our treadmill Massage chair is at my neighbor's house. So yeah, we had a lot of big furniture the dining room table is in the um Storage unit and so yeah paying monthly for this and change, but it is what it is So our home went up for sale a couple of days ago. We are very excited. Um a little bittersweet Because that is our first home together It is the only home that jay b has known and so I think jay b's a little sad about moving to you guys But he's also excited. He really is so that's kind of hot in the bathroom Anyway, he's still he's excited about it. And so everyone back home is excited my friends and family are ecstatic with us moving And so yeah, we're hoping to get bang for our buck because look we've got our house Very very affordable under 200 and when I tell you these house houses Are going for way over 450 so um Yeah, y'all look honey It is tiring when I and I know a couple of you and a girl I don't know who you are you you recently you and your husband you commented on my videos You're your husband. Um recently got a house. It is tiring moving and mind you The person upstairs. Sorry y'all mind you it's been a while since we both have moved together and we have acquired We're we don't really have a lot of stuff, but it doesn't matter So yeah, it is what it is. We made it work. We're here. So the move's happened. Um JB has uh entered the school school. I used that lightly So y'all there's no way in between the move in between looking for a new house My job is getting busy. Um, just a lot of personal stuff going on. I just I honestly didn't do any homeschooling the last two weeks because I didn't have the time And so when I tell you everything I don't keep saying this Everything happens for a reason. God will direct you your steps if you give it to him, okay And I honestly do believe that and I know this in my heart. Okay, so I encourage you. Um, so I was a little upset because I'm like I can't homeschool anymore And when I tell you I was upset. I was upset. I was crying. I felt like a failure Even JB at one point. I'm getting choked up y'all even JB at one point. He was like mama Do you think I'm not learning? I am learning. Don't don't let that be the only reason you put me back in school I said, oh baby. Thank you. So at first I tried to look into public schools public schools Speaking to other moms there and the covid numbers are out of control y'all I know they're out of control everywhere, but Phoenix is crazy. Um, and it's affecting the staff. There's hardly any staff available The teacher turnover is going up. The kids are going out. So I'm pretty sure Connected with uh someone I know on facebook who's just out here in phoenix And she told me that her kid goes to a micro school and I looked into this micro school before And I just you know, it's like I'm gonna go ahead and homeschool. What now is the opportunity? So I reached out to the to the director very lovely woman older woman in her probably uh early 60s Very very lovely lovely individual. She's an advocate here. She's a um, uh, civil rights right of my alley, right Spoke to her and lent about what's going on and she said we absolutely have one for him They have several micro schools here in the valley that they've opened And they've been partnering with uh, what's called prenda that has their own curriculum And the reason why I was a little suspicious at first because prenda Have been in the headlines because we want to ensure. Okay, it's this legit or what but actually they are because They get funding from the from the government and the government don't play about their money Excuse me for the um from the state. Yeah, the state don't play about their money So you got to be legit in order to get that funding as a school, right? So even better um, this particular school apartment with another school in downtown phoenix to where It's basically for micro schools in this building and so jay b is part of this school one of the schools Excuse me that only has 10 people in his classroom 10 There's a teacher and a um, what do you call it teachers aid? um, and the teacher I spoke with her in length and she's been teaching public school out here in the valley for five or six years And baby the icing on the cake I could cry y'all the icing on the cake and this is jay b's first black teachers And this is the first time where he was not the only black boy in the classroom. So amen to that um I like I said I can tell where you know, so he enjoyed it. I was a little nervous yesterday Was his first day. So I picked him up. I'm like, how was it, baby? He's like it was good. I liked it I'm like, oh, thank god It is school in a non-traditional setting. They have bean bags. They have couches They spend about 90 minutes on their own laptops learning Um, if they read they go to the to a bean bag I mean, it's very they can choose what they want to do The teacher did tell me that they're going to go ahead and assess him because I told her best I'm a little cautious because in certain areas, he's in first grade second grade And in certain areas, he's in third grade And so she's like, no, let's just go ahead and put him in third grade so that he could be socially and emotionally with other kids His age and we'll just work with him. I'm like, okay, cool So linking at his work. He brought home. I could definitely see a difference and he even told me that He likes working with other kids. So, you know You have to work was figure out what works best for your child and in this type of setting This works best for him again. It's called a micro school and it is legit. I looked it up, honey. They use they do use standardized curriculum Um, but again, they tailor it to the learning needs of the child. So yeah, we're happy about that Girl and now I need to really get back on the self-care bandwagon Um, I kind of slipped off because I've been so focused on doing everything else, right? So I hadn't been doing my facials. I hadn't been doing my feet I mean just I have been taking care of myself not just appearances. I haven't been sitting down Meditate me doing my stretches. I just haven't been taking care of myself So today I'm going to go work out the gym here is banging. I mean they have everything they even offer spin classes I'm like, yeah for $2,000 a month. I better lose weight The gym here is amazing. So my husband and I go work out in the morning Um, I do a little bit of I'm starting slow because my new I haven't worked out in a while y'all like months So I start on the cardio I do cardio for a little bit and then I do some weights And so my goal is to Lose 25 pounds. I need to lose 25 minimum 25 pounds because I'm sitting in a good size I haven't gained any weight if anything I've lost weight since you know, y'all haven't talked to me I've lost weight. I've lost like two pounds, but I need to get down onto a healthier size. I mean, I'm at a size For its dress size. I'm a 10 I need to be like a six eight like seriously like I'm only five to you guys like I have a small frame I know I have a bigger than like personality, but I have a small frame So a size six eight will look good on me size 10 12. I'm looking still I'm looking very full I look good Am I listening complaining? But this is about health. Okay So yeah, girl, that's what's been going on. Let me show you guys some product reviews that are coming up I know y'all want to know what what what type of hair products you're doing. Okay, hold on girl. Hold on All right, you guys so Oh, hell, I forgot I got this fellow with y'all. Hold on y'all Let me move this nail stuff out the way. I'm gonna do my nails and nail tonight.

I don't want to feel I'm looking over here. Y'all. I'm sorry I have two wash day videos. I want to want to film and technically. Yes, you can Review products outside of the shower But for me personally, I find that if you're going to do a review of a shampoo and conditioner Your hair needs to be under steady stream of water, right? Don't you agree with that? Yeah, I thought you did So swabs luscious curls shampoo Okay, so again in order Atoah D'Avora fatica swab and then I have another Wash day video. I think I'm gonna do affordable hair care Um, because I think I have some cream of nature stuff in there.

Thank you I really appreciate This and no, I will not be doing a review on these products because they have mixed reviews Did y'all see that but even then I don't want to Review that so in addition to the products that I showed you that I'm going to be reviewing Nez it a gay angel Nezzy naps She was telling me that she recently used and I saw her video of the blue magic cholesterol And it was I did first of all, I didn't even I didn't even know that blue magic made cholesterol Did y'all know them? But I didn't even know that blue magic made cholesterol. And so she said it was really good for her hair. So um, I'm gonna copy her and I'm gonna copy her and um by one of those like a later on closer to the winter time because I probably this is going to stretch out just those through through reviews including the affordable wash day I'm gonna stretch that out y'all over three or four months. It is what it is. Um There was something else I want to bring as far as Oh styling hair videos. So yes, um Okay, I'm looking down you guys I have no idea. I was gonna do that flexi rod and take one of um Busby's videos for the flexi rod set. I don't know what I did with my flexi rods I have no idea where they're at if I can find them I will do the video. I'm not buying anymore because I have tons of them. They're packed away somewhere So hopefully I will find them and do a flexi rod set. If not, y'all want to see a uh jumbo perm lock set? Let me know in the comments. So Yes, that's hair related videos coming up Golly. All right, y'all what I'm watching on youtube girl. Nothing Nothing, I'm trying to think of but let me look at my history JB's looking at a bunch of stuff Girl, what do y'all think about the Met Gala? They're just not this is like the day afterwards by the way and they're showing all the pictures. First of all Why in the hell did Kim Kardashian come up looking like some We all know she's a witch. I guess she's she's in true form then is what she was doing. Um Let me see y'all what I'm watching on youtube Um, yeah, the Met Gala was yesterday and I guess they're showing all the pictures best dress I don't know you guys. I try not to be a conspiracy theorist. I try not to read that way But that was just something very And maybe it's just it's just highly weird. You know what I mean? I don't get I don't know. It's just something very odd about that entire What do you even call it that entire event? It's just very odd and strange to me I'm like, can we go back to wearing ball gowns and nice black tuxedos? Do you have to come out and I get they have a theme every year, right? They have a theme like a zale halloween Um, do you have to come out walking around with a lampshade on your head though? What the hell like I don't know. I'm not feeling it. But anyway, not really watching much on youtube That's why I was going to look at my history job. JV took over my phone. I'm not really watching youtube Oh, this is what I am watching on youtube. I'm watching old episodes of divorce divorce court with judge Lynn I'm addicted to it. I can't stop watching it. Um, yeah old episodes of divorce court. Y'all these people are crazy in these relationships That's about it. I'm not really watching a lot. I did catch a few african exports videos And he's really blowing up when it comes to his feats, but I haven't really caught anything alive from him lately Um I'm noticing a couple of people coming back and leaving coming back and leaving I know is that shawry jay said that she would shawry jay Is she gonna cut her hair again? Like she get damn much of something y'all don't quote me on that um Girl, you need to stop going to tasha. What's that? What's that white girl name? Is you know what no, you know how she got damaged the first time Remember when she did the cream of nature did she do the cream of nature? You guys Was it cream of nature or african pride that came out that line came out with a line of hair color She did it I remember they sent some stuff to my stylist or let's pender And she wanted to color my hair and I said no I said no, I'm not gonna put it. She she already knew it. She's a guy. I kind of figured she wouldn't do it I said no, I don't Yeah, so shawry jay posted like a couple of months ago. Should I cut my hair? But back then She went and She had the coloring she had the coloring done that she had the strengthening that she had It was just too much back to back And I'm sure it messed up her ferocity, but lately I don't think she's really just been taking good care of her hair and I know that she's had a lot of loss Speaking of shawry jay She has experienced a lot of loss over the few years. I mean getting out of that relationship Then her father died then her mother died um And so that can all have a devastating effect on your body and your hair Um, and you know, we've all seen at least I think some of us has seen some of the videos of people who Uh, sometimes the title may be uh, she hasn't washed her hair in six months or she hasn't detangled hair A lot of that is due to depression you guys, you know, I mean a lot of people not a lot But some people will neglect their their hair and their body. They're just when they're under Under severe depression and it happens. Okay, it happens. And so Yeah, it's really sad. So I hope I I don't know sure. I'm not seeing that shawry jay is depressed I don't want to put that out there. I'm just saying that Your mental state how you are dealing with things can have a Effect on your physical appearance because that makes sense. We all know that by now. So anyway Enough of that what I'm watching on tv girl. I've been watching a lot of tv Not watching a lot of youtube youtube watching a lot of tv. So let me tell y'all what I'm watching. Okay, nine perfect strangers This show is giving me so much anxiety. Like I'm like, what's gonna happen? What's gonna happen?

It was good It was I was on the edge of my seat, but I'm not sure if I liked how It turned I really didn't like that I know I'm not with the masses when I say that but I don't like the way I don't like this the surprise at the end. I didn't like that surprise But overall it was still a pretty good sitcom. I'm just using a pretty good series. I'm in clickbait. I believe it's on netflix honey ah ahs First of all, you have again, that stands for american horror stories You have the american horror stories this series and I believe we're on season 10 But then you have a hs hs.
