 Hey you guys, it's time, girl, the camera's all wiggly. It's time for another chit chat, chit chat. I'm a no-till girl. So y'all, it is mid-October, let me put my purple lipstick on. Mid-October, I surprised you, what is it? Girl, I was just interrupted by you-know-who-chall. Y'all, I really do miss my me time. I'm sorry, but baby, I was by myself. Now I don't understand, I had JB pretty late. I'm 40 years old with a seven-year-old child. So I'm used to, and then my husband has a schedule to where he's never home. So I'm one of those people that's used to be about themselves. So I don't need you up and, I'm not used to that still. It's been nearly eight years, and I'm just not used to this still. I know some of you are like, girl, you need to get used to it by now. You need to get over it, I do. But you know what's so funny? We'll get to this chit chat, y'all. I was watching Discovering Natural, one of her videos, and how she was stating how there was a couple of things that she wished she would have done. I don't know exactly what verb she used, but basically she wished everything she would have done before she either got married or have children. I think one of those things is traveling by herself. I will say, I am so glad I did so many things before I officially got married and before I had children, and that includes traveling by myself. I went to restaurants by myself. You know, I did me, you know what I mean? I have no regrets. I went to clubs, I hung out at clubs. I, you know, I basically lived my life. Why am I talking about that? Anyway, so y'all, y'all know how we do this. We talk about what's in these YouTube streets. Well, we talk about what's going on in my personal life, what's in these YouTube streets, and what I've been watching for a change. Girl, I've been watching a lot of TV, so we're gonna get into that. So y'all, personal life, going girl. Christine decided to be on PTO this week, y'all. So, thank the Lord. I've been praying, praying, praying, y'all. I've been really, I've been really specific what I'm praying about now. And it has been a quiet knock on wood, knock on fat. It's been a relatively quiet week for me to be by myself and homeschooling and stuff going in a household. So thank God for that. Y'all, I'm in a couple of Facebook groups now that are more catered towards homeschooling. And let me tell you, we still have our ups and downs when it comes to dealing with JB at home, but I am forever grateful that we don't have some of these people issues. Cause baby, some of these folks, the issues that they be posting, I'm like, I'm good, we're good. Cause I was going to write a post asking for advice and I'm like, oh no, y'all got some serious cause they're dealing with children that have sensory issues, you know, ADD, not to say, not to downplay, you know, us dealing with JB, but we can deal. The stuff that they're dealing with is like, I'm like, wow, well, and multiple children. You see what I'm saying? So I'm like, yeah, I just got one. So we good. Okay, we good. We're going to pray. And yeah, it's been a good two weeks. We've had our moments, but I can honestly say these two weeks have been good. Now my husband, we're getting on my nerves, girl. He off this week too. Girl, the first thing we did is go to Trader Joe's. And so he's loading up his basket, loading up the basket. And the man in front of, I've been lying, right? We see my husband and JB in front of us during the, you know, alcohol line, loading up or wine. And the man in front of me doesn't know that Alex is my husband. He turns around and he says, looks like somebody's going to have a party. And I said, sure does. Dang. I was so funny. So anyway, yeah, we just drink wine. We don't drink it all the time, y'all, but you know, have a nice glass of wine with our food. So anyway, so home life is busy, going good, work is good, you know, busy, busy, busy. We are implementing a new system, which has been going to be busy. By the time I load up this chit chat, I would have had a vlog or a vlog with the person that is hell, I'll wash it. It was rough, y'all. I'm going to be honest. It was very rough when we first started homeschooling and I anticipate that we will have some ups and downs. But overall, I am healthy. Can you see the joy in my skin? Maybe I haven't even been following my regimen, but my skin been looking good. I have no makeup on, honey. No, oh, I gotta have some lipstick on, so. I do need to schedule a me time. I do need to schedule some time to myself. I have been getting up early. Girl, I forgot my book, y'all. I forgot my book. I was going to read y'all a quote. Oh, quotes. Well, hell, let me just share with y'all one of my favorite quotes, okay? So it's very short. Even in the darkness, you can still see the stars, okay? That's one of my favorite quotes, all right? So y'all, what else is going on personal? We're going to be getting carpet soon. I picked it out. It's cute, whatever. And it's what it is. This room's going to be clear that I saw my husband in here looking around scratching the stomach. I'm like, if you don't get your ass, yes. It's like, look, this is what he was looking at. Look, can we zoom in? This, that's what he was looking at, girl. All that over there. Yes, it's a lot of stuff. I will take care of it. Mama's going to get it together because we had our house painted earlier this year. And was it this year? I don't remember, girl, but I had to move all this stuff out of here, too. Yeah, so we're going to get it together. It is what it is. Y'all, I've been doing so good with my nails. I mean, I've been getting compliments on my nails and these are my fall nails. Isn't this cute, girl? Isn't this cute? So we got an orange. We got a mustard. We got a red. We got a gold. We got a golden red. So it's kind of messy. So don't get too close, girl. But this is the Beatles, this. This is the Beatles, y'all. And the nails are a little short than I typically go for, but it's cute. Yeah, mama's been getting compliments on the nails when I'm all, and I'll be the first one to say. They're like, oh, your nails are cute. I'm like, thank you, girl. I did it myself, girl, the cute hunt. I know I'm silly. So yeah, y'all, nails, carpet, homeschool. It is what it is. And believe me, y'all, I won't be telling y'all about homeschooling with every chitchat because I know some of y'all don't care about that. And I don't blame you, hell. So, you too. Have y'all been noticing the, why am I whispering? Have y'all been noticing the exodus of natural hair YouTubers? Yes, I've jotted down a couple of names, but I've been noticing a lot more YouTubers who are, and the one thing they say when they're announcing how the content on their channel is changing is that I'm more than just my hair, which is absolutely true. And especially if you've been making videos, I'm gonna say if you've been making hair videos for more than five years, it's gonna get a little old, y'all. It really is. So a couple of people I've noticed who have been doing more than just hair videos or buzz speed, she's been really venturing out and doing, she did a clean with me video. I think she cleaned her kitchen. Girl, I looked at that video twice. I was inspired to not do a damn thing. Like, I was like, dang, she's cleaning the cabinets. I said, I think I was eating too. I was watching it like it was a damn movie. I'm like, wow, she's really cleaning. I'm not gonna do nothing. Those videos, I love cleaning videos and they're supposed to be, you know, to motivate you to get your butt up. It doesn't really motivate me. I just like watching people clean, I guess. So, yeah, BuzzFeed is kind of venturing out, adding different type of content on her channel. I know Lee announced, it would have been a couple of weeks by now, I know Lee announced that she's venturing away from natural hair, Nappy had a horrible, we already knew, but she officially announced like a couple of weeks ago that she's done. Kamaya Yvonne, and so yeah, you guys, and of course me. Now I'm not gonna say that the biggest thing that's gonna be happening on my channel is that I won't be doing product reviews after this year, but girl, yeah, I'm still gonna be doing hair videos. It just won't be as much. Does that make sense, y'all? So maybe my updated regimen, updated wash day, because I do change my products, you know, depending on what's going on with my hair, or you know how I'm gonna be styling my hair, or maybe I'll go back and reuse a product I haven't used in a while. Speaking of y'all, do any of y'all remember bio infusion products that was sold exclusively at Walgreens? Those products were the shits back then. I remember using the Colt curl pomade and they had a hair serum. It reminded me very similar of Jane Carter products, but cheaper. Believe it or not, they weren't cheaper. They weren't cheaper. I shouldn't say that. But I found them on Amazon. Baby, I swiftly said five products left. I was like, by now. I went ahead and I will be reintroducing it on my channel because I absolutely loved that curl pomade and I was heartbroken when Walgreens stopped selling B-line itself. So anyway, y'all, just got off on a tangent. So yep, I noticed an exodus of natural hair YouTubers and I've overall, the natural hair community, we all know this, has definitely changed a lot on YouTube and I don't really see too many new people coming in anymore. Have y'all seen any new people coming in? For a while there, I felt like going natural was a trend. Claiming for type was a trend. Girl, that will piss me off as soon as I click on the video and I see you all of 3C4A. No, it's mostly 4A. Like, why are you claim, this is one of the reasons why I just say for type at this point. Because I have a mixture of four type hair but don't be claiming you all of 4C and you're not. Now, there's someone who is, she's a well known. God, who was it? Actually, I know who it is. I'm not gonna say who it is. And she's a smaller YouTuber but she has high views and she does, well, I don't think she does anymore but she was claiming 4C and she's not 4C. She's 4A4B but hey, this is one of the reasons why I try to stay away from typing hair because you never know, okay? So, moving on from YouTube, y'all. Actually, let me pause, pause. One blogger who I absolutely love and I binge watch her videos, I cannot wait when she posts, is I am Sharika. She is a mukbanger. She does mukbangs with her husband sometimes and I love that she does a story time. And typically her story times are, so she's been watching on beta attraction or 4 Your Man. Y'all know that's right up my alley. I know some of y'all watch her shows too. So, her name is I am Sharika and I will be posting the links to her channel below along with her mukbang if you're into that. Now, she does a lot of seafood and all that. I'm allergic to all that girl but I still be watching if you're looking good as hell. She's based out of Florida. She's an older YouTuber but she has a young, modern swag. I don't know how old she is but she does have a child in their 20s and then she has a child, I believe he's like 12, 13 years old. He may not even be that old but I love her style. She has a very grown up style. I also appreciate that she, girl, I never see her slipping in her vlog. She has her face, I'm done. And it may be like a neutral beat but it's so cute. She's always so well put together. She's a professional and I just really like her content. I really do. Right now she's, well, she may be doing it for a while. She's really big into decorating. So y'all check her out. I really do like her. All right, girl. So what I've been watching on TV. Girl, everything. The other day I caught the third installment of the bad boys movie. What was it called, y'all? Bad boys for life. It just wasn't as good as the other two. And I really did not expect it to be but it was one of those type of movies to where I stopped watching it and picked it up later on because I just lost interest, y'all. But I saw it on, did I watch it on HBO? I think I saw it on HBO. It was okay, okay. Will Smith still looks good to me. Girl, he does. He looks good. He may not be able to run the same but he still is a very attractive man in my opinion. So yeah, y'all, guess what I have been watching? The girl, I don't know why I started watching this again. The Parker's. So the Parker's and girlfriends are back on Netflix. I love me some Candace Vaughn. Don't walk away from me. You need to change. I'm purposely sounding bad. I can't sing but I'm from. You need to change your mouth. What, how does it go? Have I ever, ever, ever left you? Would you care for me, wifey? Did you hurt about me? I don't know the words. I love that song, y'all. Now, I'm not making fun of her. I love, I actually like that song. I know I like that song. I love that video. I think the video is hilarious. Candace has his song about her being a wife and child. So I, from what I understand, her voice is getting better. Now, does she have some type of growth or something on her throat and it caused her to have a raspiness? And I think that's due to her thyroid, right? She has thyroid issues. I love Candace. I loved her from 227. I loved her on some of these reality shows she did. I know she's had some several issues but I just like her personality overall. So anyway, I was watching the Parker's. Well, I'm watching the Parker's. I'm re-watching it from season one and on, girl. The Walking Dead. I started watching that again. Girl, spoiler. I was not expecting, again, spoiler. I was not expecting for Beta to be killed off like that, like that. I really wasn't expecting him to be killed off so fast and we're y'all. So is it me? Cause when he was killed, right? And Negan was like, do you know who that asshole was? So I think he was someone popular in their world. Like was he some type of rock star or something? I remember in one of the previous episodes another person recognizing him and he killed the person who recognized him if I remember correctly, Beta did. So yeah, he was apparently like a celebrity or a rock star in their world. Now I'm not watching that new girl that's giving me hairy powder with descendants with some zombies. I guess they're kids. I don't know if it's a few years after The Walking Dead. I'm nosy looking at my neighbors. Oh, they go to Richline. I shouldn't say, oh, they go to my kid's school. Yeah, I don't know if it's a few years after The Walking Dead, but I'm not watching that. Yeah, I'm not watching that kiddie walking dead. That's what we're gonna call it. Disney World Walking Dead, we're not watching that. So let me say this. I did see the preview for the next, The Witches with Olivia Spencer and the girl from The Devil's World Prada. They really need to stop re-making these movies, y'all. The Witches is a classic. No one can pull off that, the grand high, like Angelica. What is Angelica? He's still, no one can do that. Anyway, so yeah, The Witches is being remade and I guess it's streaming coming up soon here in a couple more weeks. So yeah, so yeah, y'all watching The Parkers, watching The Walking Dead. I just started watching The Curse of Bly Manor. Y'all, at first I was like, okay, so what? Two kids, orphan kids, we're gonna have a nanny come in. Yeah, she's gonna be spooked out. Same old storyline, no. Well, it is the same old storyline, but it is disturbing. Like the first scene, the ending of the first scene, I was like, ooh, I was scared. I was really scared. So yeah, the hunting of Bly Manor. I think another one, they're just like, I think another one, they have all this scary stuff coming up for Halloween, right? They have another one on there called Evil. I may have to check that out, baby doll. There is a couple of things I added to my list on Netflix that I'm gonna have to watch, but yeah, that's what I'm watching. And of course, Happy Place. I love the Happy Place, y'all, with Ted dancing with his fine sit. Y'all, I love me some salt and pepper, but he got all salt, that's okay. Yeah, I like me some Ted dancing. I like the Happy Place. And one of you is correct. Like you can watch the Happy Place with anyone around because there's no cursing, there's no nudity. It's just a good clean show and I really do appreciate that. So yeah, watching that. So that's it, y'all. I wanted to do a really quick chit check to have some more content in between this. Now look, all of this stuff, I feel like I keep saying this. So I am busy, I am still very busy, but my mom was still pushing out content. Y'all just didn't know about it. That's what you do when you go on break. You still record stuff, edit it at your own pace, and then schedule it. So I kid you not, I have stuff scheduled now until December. So y'all should be good, but please bear with me. It may take me a couple of days, a couple of hours to respond to comments, to like a comment, because I try to like or love every comment. And I try to reply back if I can, especially if you have a question. I try to respond. But yeah, y'all, this what's gonna be going on. Anticipating all of these new reviews, but baby it's ending. But yeah, y'all, so I will see you guys, hopefully I'll be able to chit check with y'all in like two more weeks, okay? Bye.
