 I parked at the Dollar Tree and this speaker is loud as hell and it's too hot, let me listen. Okay I wrote that one, I mean I wrote this one down, I won't be in my car too long. Y'all it is weeks, days like this where I am so grateful that I work from home because it has been a very trying last two weeks. I've been having some upper respiratory issues, both JB and I have been having asthma related allergy issues and um, hold on y'all check out my messages. When was it? Saturday, it's been almost a week, Saturday I had a burning sore throat, I'm like oh no let's just go ahead and block this right now. So I made me my ginger tea, my lemonade and if you kind of hurt me in my last vlog my voice is kind of raspy and it still is some kind of raspy and I know it's allergy. So I've been down in my ginger tea which I make and I actually have a video on that that I want to share because I thought I was getting sick and come to find out is really has been my allergies. So coughing off and on so I officially started on my nebulizer two days ago, I skipped it yesterday and I was not doing good. So three days now on my withdrawal and um, I'm feeling better, I was feeling a lot better than this morning. I'm like a hundred percent a little sluggish because I have so many medications pumping in my body because I'm taking my singular, taking all my other vitamins and medications and pain medication every now and then because girl got up was getting ready at my desk you know doing some sending off a last minute email and then I feel a sharp intense pain and my lower region, my lady parts not just you know be a explicitly anything and I know because I felt this type of pain before that it's a very insist. So I'm like JV we got to go. We got to go. Let me just go ahead and drop you off at school. I get in my car. I cannot drive the pain it hurts to sit down like this. It was hurting. So I was like I can't do it. It's been dropped him off and he's like I thought I told you he's like I thought I told you to make an appointment with your doctor because last month was it last month and the I was last month I had horrible pain where we were almost going to go to the ER but it subsided and that's the thing with a variant since at least for me the pain will last me an hour or two and then I'll stop but if it's still there and if they're I guess if they haven't disappeared then you'll always have some type of pain. So anyway I come up with you OBGYN because I already had an appointment on Thursday and I was like look I'm having some pain. I'm pretty sure it's ovarian cysts. Can you guys do ultrasound? This rule that helps us like well we just don't schedule ultrasounds but you can talk to to the doctors if she'll do it for you. Yeah so that's why I'm so thankful to be at home because if I was at work I would have left. I would have been laid out up underneath the cubicle. Oh my God y'all so let's go up in here. Let's see what they have. They've been having a lot of cute LA colors makeup. We have to check that out. That would definitely put me in a better mood. Here we go. Here we go. Alright so y'all to relax me do something different or not even different I'm going to go back to making some more bow ties. I know JB's about done with me chow. So lately I've been making these double bow ties aren't these cute? Very very cute. This one right here I have for him. I think it's a little heavy though and I think it's because I put two of the centerpieces on. I want to take one of them off. Also it's a little bit longer so you can't see this he has longer so I think it's heavier. So I have this really really cute um didn't I make one like this too? Let me go back in the back y'all and see I think I made one with this. This it was cute but it was uneven so I'm going to take it apart and then I have excuse me I'm still coughing. I have a monster isn't this cute which I think I could pair it up even if I could do no that's too busy something like pair it up with this I think there's like a yellow or a line back there. See back there pair it up with this line and I could even do that gray and I have a white one here a chickaburton blue so I'm going to make a couple more bow ties. Girl got the bunnet on early it's four o'clock um y'all two and a half weeks away from my surgery those of you who don't know I got the clearance to get a breast reduction my insurance will be covering it 100% amen what I wanted to do before the surgery is to get as healthy as possible because that way that way help with the healing process. So for the past week no caffeine um I mean slowly eating a lot more vegetables and stuff so I juice I have a juicer I've had a juicer for like a year now so this is um a lot of stuff apple, celery, ginger, oranges, lemon, spinach that's what gives it the green really good and what I found at my Walmart have y'all seen this look at this detox is my white house sorry y'all detox organic apple cider vinegar with the mother lemon cinnamon honey on the back it says drink half a bottle in the morning drink half a bottle in the evening repeat daily for detox period now he was drinking this whole thing in one day I cannot do that I know I can't so I'm gonna drink this over the course of three days girl there's no way over the course of three days um and after that I'm going to be taking apple cider vinegar shots in the morning along with lemon water I'm basically gonna do no meat the week before so we're two and a half weeks out this week just focusing on caffeine no caffeine and reducing sugar and slowly build up to where I'm doing 100% clean like a week before and yeah no alcohol at all right now no alcohol none of that so that way I can be as healthy as possible you guys and even afterwards making sure that I have meals prepped for at least I'll say for at least the first week I'm gonna have a bunch of meals prepped and maybe I'll show that on freezer meals every

shaking um here at my OBGYN it is going to be a long ass day girl long day God you'll be off to school doctor's appointments at 10 15 it's 10 o'clock I get here early because I'm gonna have to speak to them about the customer service I'm not kidding because that's that's a mess because what what has happened the reason why I was having those of every every woman gets a variant system as long as you are administrating having your monthly girl cycle you are going to develop a cyst however they're supposed to go away some women like myself if I'm not on estrogen aka birth controls they won't so the reason why they didn't go away is because I didn't have my birth control pills because these ass tarts would not would not refill my prescription my pharmacy caught twice I caught three times and over a week after you miss four or five birth control pills is a wrap you have to start all over next package I know TMI but I'm letting you know so I'm gonna let the whoever I'm seeing I think it's a nurse practitioner let her know that you know I'm here to get a refill that you know how my you know the medication is going but by the way I have a very assistant I'm in pain because y'all did not fulfill my refill my prescription in time so yeah anyway after that I'm gonna go to see Tina and Tom go get my nails done I broke my caffeine detox girl the weather here changed you guys it dropped considerably yesterday was in the 60s we're talking about everyone's gonna be sick at this point I heard on the radio that it's gonna be a high of like a hundred of the weekend how can you go from a high of 65 and then a hundred and a few days we all gonna be sick so I'm still kind of nasally and it's all allergies so anyway after this one back cuz I'm in Scottsdale right now where no one knows how to freaking drive and then I'm going to go get my nails done back closer to my house go home chill out a little bit with this one or down getting hot my husband is getting the pool together maybe I'll do that I can fill some air and the pool should be ready by this weekend yeah we may get in the pool especially gonna be a hundred degrees it's gonna be you know it's gonna be ready I got all my 500 floaties I don't know how to swim and even not funny even though the pool is only five feet I need my floaties like we literally have about eight floaties so yeah mmm what else going on today JB has a hair appointment so literally I will go be home I'll go back home around noon after I get my nose done go pick up JB early like a while around one and then make our way out cuz if he gets his hair cut in the hood y'all I had to go to the hood and she's a lady barber she does a great job they were really good last time they watched their language and they put on some cartoons for him to look at so I shouldn't take that long the first time it took a while because she hadn't seen him and she had never seen him so it took about an hour but now it's been taking only about 20 25 minutes so well look my husband's like he's even good moves it's weekend he's been in a good mood lately I guess girl cuz he's like hey why don't we go out to eat as a family again with JB we haven't officially had a date night and almost a month though and I'm like I don't want to be with Jake I shouldn't be that way I think that he wants to go together with JB because due to his schedule he only sees JB when he's off which he only sees JB twice a week y'all I mean cuz he's sleeping I mean yeah when JB is home Monday and Friday he sees them but it's only for a few hours like two or three hours and that's not a lot so he's like why don't we just take him to you know our date night restaurant I'm a little bit nervous about that because this is a really really nice restaurant granted I have seen children going there but rarely I think maybe a handful of times and the years we've been going there which has been about seven years I've only seen a few kids in there so he's saying no he'll be good we'll just sit at a bar at none at the bar at a booth and I'll block him in so he'll be good I'm okay well we'll do this so we have that going on Saturday and that's about it y'all but today it's gonna be fairly fairly busy next week it's gonna be crazy busy teacher appreciation week so I have a lot of things I need to get together and thank you guys for telling me those of you who responded on my last vlog yeah I'm not used to doing all this stuff so I'm baking brownies and then what else I'm doing about some so every day they have some some type of theme every day for teacher appreciation and so I'm baking her brownies for sweet day and then I bought her some chapstick and anti-bacterial wipes it was like a summer extensions day I'm sorry but anti-bacterial wipes or extension the dirt I'm sorry y'all let me just hold the camera um skull sketch on an ultrasound for next week because I told her that I'm having some pain from the cyst whoa girl so let me go ahead and put that in my phone it's you know preliminary that they have to do a couple of months after you being on a new medication you know you make an appointment to see I'm basically a follow-up girl gets the point and so she's like well the problem is that birth control pills increases your chances of stroke that's just one of the many side effects of being on birth control pills I say well yeah but she's a way you know you have options I say yes but I can't get my tubes tied the doctor won't do it because of previous scarring tissue and I'm not getting an IUD y'all I'm I am never getting an IUD and I'm not trying none of this yes Minera I'm not trying on none of this new stuff so she's like okay well as long as your you know your blood pressure readings are looking good as long as everything looks it's okay but you can stay on your birth control pill I'm not going to you guys so we just got out of getting JB's his his little hair cut and now we are going no that's all right listen to Mr. Lightful now I'm gonna stop by and get him something to eat and we're headed home look I had some Mexican food anyway I'm so greedy we don't need that I was talking to my husband about what the doctor said and I'm like I gotta say on the birth control and I said it one minute out of her mouth she's saying you know stand on birth control pills and increases your chances of stroke blood clots however that's also for people who smoke me put that after people who smoke and that's for the higher estrogen I'm on a low estrogen one but then out of the same mouth she says but it also reduces your chance of a variant cancer and giving your family history I'm like girl I'm just gonna pray about it you know and stay on the birth control pills we ain't gonna do nothing else because they tried they're trying to push on me an IUD and I don't want to do IUD y'all let me know those of you had IUDs how you feel about I don't want to do IUD I do not want to do that at all I don't want any of that anyway enough of that girl we're gonna stay on the pill so we won't get pregnant so got my nails done Ms. Tina found a color that I like and she saves it for me it's like a cotton candy it's very neutral but yeah I'm gonna go get something to eat and this is gonna be a very long vlog heck there I go in my closet trying to figure out what I'm gonna wear for a family night this is so cute look at this spoiled brat it's the name of this makeup so look you guys I've been thinking real quick about some videos I could be doing for you guys hair related videos after I come back in May it is going by so fast I cannot believe we're gonna be in May we know we are in May I have the meal coming up I have those three products and then at Jackie's and Jane Carter Jane Carter it's coming up but what I was thinking about doing let me know if y'all like this idea oh and I will be doing a giveaway but it's gonna be a different type of giveaway I'm gonna do a giveaway when I get to 20,000 subscribers and I'm hoping and praying I can get to 20,000 by the end of the summer so my giveaway is gonna be different though it's gonna be like maybe you want a makeup organizer like I have maybe you want a blender it's gonna be more cuz I do what since I do vlogging it's gonna be more home stuff I think that'll be cute maybe you want a lamp yeah somebody want a lamp so yeah I'm gonna be having a giveaway 20,000 that's not necessarily hair related but home goods yeah Jackie's like I said it's coming in the summertime and Jane Carter and specifically the curls to go collection by Jane Carter and the only reason why I'm telling you this is cuz it's it comes fast we all know this so what I'm thinking about after I do those reviews and I think I'll be done with all that sorry I'll think I'll be done with those come August so I'm thinking about you know how will you type in on Google best deep conditioners for 4A what if I went through and went to like you know did the same thing and found some so-called list of best detanglers for 4C hair or not even category best best cold washes for natural hair and what if I took that list and picked 304 and tested it out what do I think about that but still being mindful of what type of that as not nothing as I am the Aussie's line left me with a bad taste in my mouth I really don't want to do any more reviews of store-bought store-bought products unless it's something that I'm familiar with like I'm okay with suave I'm okay with BL5 but I know can-to has some new products out and I saw Linda did a review of another line that had a new deep conditioner out and I just don't I'm not gonna do what you guys I'm not and it's very affordable and it's easy to get sucked into that because can-to does have that apple cider vinegar wash girl I want to try but I'm not gonna do it I'm not going to do it because I want to make sure that I'm using quality ingredients and products on my hair there's something that you guys want me to review that you've been thinking about let me know so the series will be more so of oh I've heard great things about that I want to try it but you never have you know how you heard about like I've heard about the Obaya do they have like a borosope is that the one they have a borosope I've heard about honey chow's I've heard about Saltedex I've always wanted to try it but I just haven't so I'm gonna take two or three products from those lines and review them and it's gonna be the most popular ones okay cuz you guys I'm getting burned out baby girl has been doing this for six years I don't think people realize how long I've been doing product reviews check my videos oftentimes I'll get people say have you done this I would like to see you try I've already tried it baby I've already tried it sometimes I forget I try especially if it's a hair mask and I've already reviewed it twice I have reviewed I'm gonna be conservative conservative and say I've reviewed close to 200 products if not more hey you guys it's a little dark in here it's not the settings on my camera look fabulous girl I spent most of the morning looking at YouTube videos of how to change the settings of my camera hopefully when I come back to the second half of the summer I can get it together but something has been off in my hair reviews as far as where my lighting is at which is why you guys have been seeing me my past two or three hair related videos I've been filming in my kitchen because I feel like with all my expensive ass new lights and my DIY ring light is throwing everything off so I'm pretty sure I need to change some settings on my camera when I have light instead of using natural light like I'm using right now so anyway girl um JB's getting my nerves and my husband's getting my nerves too low key y'all it is so it's such a challenge to balance it all and I know a lot of us as women we wear mini hats and you guys heard me say this time and time again I have to continue to have a balance so I was snap I think most of us are like that whether you have kids or not so JB has been up since 5 30 and that's a normal for him those two you're not familiar I have an early wiser yes so yes and I got up at 5 so I was up and when he gets up he's right on me like there's no cuz he's five years old there's no going you know to his side of the couch to check his email none of that he is on me physically he is heavy he's almost 50 pounds so he's been on me I've had it I've had it I've had it I've had it so come 10 o'clock my husband finally gets up cuz he works late so he gets up late that's I gotta go I gotta get the house I gotta go and he made a comment my husband that is he's like you're overreacting you know he there's nothing wrong with him that's let me tell you something I said this child has been extremely clingy he has JB has been extremely clingy for the past I was about two weeks he's been all on me extremely and I said I need some time for myself this is me to my husband I'm like you get to leave the house nearly every day to go be around adults I don't have that not only that but JB is with me full time four days out of the week he's with me all the time when you're at work he's with me all day so I don't have that getting away that he has so I'm like I said oh so I'm exaggerating all right girl I left the house for like three hours so when I came back they were gone is it clean oh it's pretty high too God is cold yeah the sand play area that you just clearly I mean I know they ain't ever scissor hands but dang yeah let me sit down and make these bow ties so look isn't this cute very cute with one simple being in the middle and then you have a clip on the back here so y'all I've been watching some new TV shows while working I have to watch new shows while watching watch something while watching I have two words for y'all West world okay really that's one word West world is a how can I describe it it's about a theme park virtual reality what is that movie with on a Schwarzenegger total recall West world is total recall meets stage coach wow wow with some Django on change it I love the show I've been watching that and of course handmaid's tail is back on so yeah y'all been watching that trying not to really pay attention look I'm one of those happy people I get my news from my husband because I do not like to watch the news it depresses me it saddens me I like to stay up on stuff of course but I don't play into the oh look what the Kardashians did this week I'm gonna give it down with the Kardashians did I really don't know we don't have any popsicles better look next time you want some you want some water baby well you got no popsicles up oh time for spanking no look JB if you were

have one why just in case we got to flee the country can I have a popsicle they're making it hard for you to get passports to I know my girlfriend was having a difficult time due to back back child support that was owed by her father and I was like oh girl what so yeah she was having a hard time renewing her passport I think mines comes up 2019 I need to renew my point they're making it they're making it a little challenging to read what's a passport a passport is a certain ID you use to travel internationally so if I want to go to Mexico I gotta have my passport you sit in your passport they're gonna Mexico no one go to Canada which is little little America I have been looking at other youtubers but y'all I tried it's very rare that I want to subscribe to people I'm just not that type of person and so I was looking at one youtuber whom I'm not gonna name drop I'm not gonna name drop and I hadn't seen her videos in a while and I'm just like why are you so I can't believe I'm gonna say this I know why are you so cheap there's a big difference between saving money being on a budget and just being downright cheap this woman is cheap she's a well-known youtuber her she has a variety of videos she does outing calls cooking that's all I want to say because if I reveal ice cream in a minute baby yes I will if I say any more y'all gonna know I'm talking about but she's just doing too much girl I'm like you need to I don't think she works she does these little side gigs I don't think she works but it's like but I still watch her because some of you know on the upside some of her information does be good you know so I still watch her but sometimes I don't and that's the thing you don't have to watch people you don't care for what there's that big X button I mean there's that X you know that you can click and move on girl that's what I do so no he doesn't those are slip-on shoes store I'm getting the storage unit is coming in a couple more days I'm gonna just get you
