 Hey It's time to check that check that a check check. So look y'all. I'm actually in the middle of I have to be very Creative how do these check check videos and videos in general because I'm in the middle of trying to do all of these product reviews Because I'm telling you it's gonna be a wrap. I really don't know what I'm gonna be talking about in this chit chat But we going to make it work girl You hear that My husband and child are outside playing in the pool while I'm here doing videos for y'all because I love y'all apparently I'm all right y'all. So let me go ahead and take this hair down So hey y'all, how you doing? I want to call you last week, but girl, I was busy Y'all already know if you follow my vlogs, you know that it has been a lot going home And my I like going on and my household We are doing a lot of things to the house and y'all know I told y'all my husband's getting my nerves y'all It's gonna my nerves y'all, but I love them and I'm so glad that so many of y'all agree with me that your husband's gets on Your nerves too. I'm so happy to see that Look at my hair y'all My hair is thriving. Yes. I'm still using rice water Look girl that there there are not gonna be any microorganisms pop locking and dropping on my head on my scalp I'm not worried about that y'all so Um My hair is blown out I had to wash my hair twice in one day because I used a product by curls daughter That y'all I was to the point after using that product I almost didn't want to Review the almond milk mass, but a couple of you asked me to review that and I tried to stay true to my word I'm a Leo So I don't like to back out on things if I say I'm gonna do something I like to follow through on it So I'm going to go ahead and proceed with Reviewing that product and if it doesn't work, we're gonna score up girl. We we fight because I'm tired y'all I am so tired. So y'all know how we do this. We talk about what's in these YouTube streets We talk about when I'm looking at TV. We talk about home life. Maybe I bring up some no Just some random stuff y'all know how it is. So girl YouTube streets really ain't much going on I have noticed a shift on YouTube There is something I did want to talk about because I saw a video from and I'll get to it The shift I saw a video from nappy head of jojoba and she is part of that shift and I admire her for that her channel um Is it she goes over a lot of different things she she talks about a lot of different things beauty hair Gossip what's on YouTube, you know hot topics was going on on YouTube and I like that I know that she's had a few people that are like girl. We don't we are not here for the drama I don't necessarily think she's she's bringing drama on her channel. I think that she's staying Relevant and she's picking up the topics that are trending and there's really nothing wrong with that You don't have to watch it. Yeah. Y'all hear me say this all the time girl. You don't have to watch it. Click out So anyway, she did a video Yesterday about a young man who committed suicide an african-american youtuber and he had a huge Following I think what like 700,000 subscribers and I'm really not going to get into it because I know this is a big trigger but um He apparently did make a suicide video. It has since been removed. I'm not even going to talk about who it was I saw The first minute of it, I would not recommend looking at this video if you are in a dark place I couldn't even get past. I'm not I'm not even in you know, that type of headspace but because I tend to be very sense sensitive and just My heart my heart goes out to the young man. I couldn't get past the first minute. I had to close out of it And that's very unfortunate. Y'all you never know what people are going through um And unfortunately in the day of age of social media, you can have this illusion of being happy Um and being content with your life. I find that you know, a lot of the stuff you see on here Is it's not what you think it is y'all it really not it's really not I mean you may you don't know everything that's going on in my life You only know what I choose to to share with you I think I try or I hope to come off as genuine as possible But there are a lot of things that I hold back on um A lot of that has to do with the fact that I want to keep my platform a little bit more upbeat I know a lot of you watch me to get in a better mood. So how dare I come on here depressed? No It's not like that. I do talk about anxiety when I'm having a bad day But I guess when I'm saying I don't want the overall feeling to be down in the dumps pity This is what I'm going through. You know what I mean But that does not mean just because I'm not sharing that doesn't mean that I I'm not going through that or doesn't mean that There's something going on. Okay. Um, so yeah, that was very unfortunate But back to the shift on youtube. I am noticing overall a shift on this platform I've been feeling it for a while, but now it's definitely a push um, I'm noticing Like nappy head of jojoba a lot of women or a lot of excuse me content creators and the natural hair arena, um, oh, that's a cute hairstyle a lot of people or Bringing different type of content to their channel because I've stated I stated before y'all We are more than just our hair and what I'm going to be covering here in a minute It's a couple of things that I will be Hopefully doing with my channel. It's not going to be drastic But there are some things that I have reiterated those of you who don't look at my blogs Um, a couple of things that I won't be doing. Um And some things that I want to start doing, you know, nothing drastic. It's still gonna be around the same. Hold on Let me get my cake. Let me get my my mystery punch. Hold on. So Hold on. Yeah All right, so hold on. Let me I need to take it all down and then section it off. You know what I mean So, um, my channel what to expect from my channel besides all the fullery Of course chit chats. I think you guys enjoy chit chat videos. Um, and I enjoy I like talking to you guys um Unless someone is coming out with some banging Products where it's going to fix all my problems. I will not be reviewing any products now The only exception to that is that I'm thinking about reviewing. Actually, I know I'm going to review Ms. Herlett Pender's line. She just came out with a new line Also, I um just look at that y'all look at that. I just posted um, basically asking you guys what are some of your favorite products and based on that feedback I haven't gotten a lot of responses. I'm thinking of Going back to Some old tried with true, but I also want to incorporate some new products like look y'all There are so many black on products out there companies It's it's amazing that you know how creative our people are um, I came up with the list of 20 that I know but That's not even considering the small business owners that sell on Um, etsy. Okay. There's tons of little shops on etsy or even facebook So there are three lines that I am highly considering Uh, purchasing in august and reviewing In september They are do you want to know girl? You want to know? Okay. She sent it Miesh, which is spelled m i c m i c h e and Chiara Botanicals and out of those three depending how I feel I will take one and add that to my regimen You know what I mean? I'm going back to tgin and jane quarter um But I want to I mean like I said, there's so many other companies after I want to see if there's something that's better. Okay um Yeah, so after that Look, I say that now, but seriously, I need to give my hair a break. Um, yeah, I'm so sorry so as far as uh, I asked you guys for feedback a couple of weeks ago and The biggest overwhelming Um category I had a couple of categories you could vote on because I set up a poll And you guys wanted to talk about hair hair discussions in my opinion. This is a part of that. Yeah chit chat me doing my hair I've done those type of videos. So I don't want to be redundant, but there are some topics that I um Want to discuss One person stated that she wanted to talk about, you know Self-love and loving your natural hair. Absolutely. I would definitely be talking, you know possibly do a video on that I do want to do a separate video highlighting um black-owned natural hair companies And then there was something else Yeah, and then there was like another serious discussion video But as far as hair tutorials go, I will be doing series I will be doing I would definitely be doing hair tutorials you guys. Um, not necessarily like I said product reviews So but introducing the hair tutorials in the form of series For example, I just posted on instagram today a couple of pictures of me wearing my hair in pent up styles I rarely wear my hair out or down you guys. It's typically up pent up Hitted away. No one can see it. So I would be doing a series on pent up styles I would be doing another series uh styles for a mommy on the go or student on the go If you're not a mom or you know, just anyone on the go, um African inspired styles y'all I can spin I could spend a day and a half on the internet looking at hair styles Now look, I'm not a great braider. I do not know how to bring my hair I barely know how to black twist girls. Sometimes I'd be looking raggedy, but um, for example, the uh phalani people Uh, a lot of the times they do wear their hair in braided styles where they also wear their hair in this beautiful Pompadour like a puffy pompadour in the front I hope this different of the phalani if I remember correctly And then they have braids on the side or the afar men in east Africa Who will wear the almost long finger coils I'm pretty sure some of you have seen the picture of them next to uh, like a painting of um Egyptians and you can see the similarities, right? Recreating some of those styles Even recreating the styles of a woman in My husband's tribe. So yeah, I want to I want to do that. I think I'm pretty good at styling my hair I say that now, um, but yeah, y'all that's what it's going to be like and of course vlogging And definitely we'll be giving you guys updates on my regimen But you know, my channel has mostly been product reviews and I have reviewed when I took look This is kind of embarrassing, but there are at least Three products that I reviewed twice on my channel one of them. I'm going to be releasing in a couple of more Uh, actually next week is the next week or this week next week Is a can to deconditioner and I know I've already reviewed it, but I forgot and I reviewed it So yeah, I'm stepping away from that so that I can focus on my hair growth And I definitely want to get to a point to why I am waist length and I will more than likely cut my hair Y'all my hair it has grown I don't know how long I am. I'm almost at the length. Y'all have to realize I my hair was pretty long Then you really couldn't tell some of you could tell I was wearing my hair in a lot of shrunken Stages styles girl. I was doing a lot of perm rods Um, a lot of braid outs Um, rarely did you see my hair like this stretch, but it was pretty long. Um 21 inches Yeah Between 18 to 20 inches. Yeah, that's how long my hair was and right now we're sitting at about 16 inches All right. So yeah, y'all that's what's going on with my hair. So let's talk about the tv shows first of all I caught the last episode of good girls The season finale. I know I'm way behind but the season finale and they better come through on season three I know y'all have seen it, but now I'm over it. They better come through on season three. Oh, I'm the type of person I would get so upset at the season finale. I will cancel the whole damn show and not watch it like i'm serious I honestly think like there were a couple of people who were seeing That bet uh, christina hindricks character. She purposely shot What is his name y'all rio? She purposely shot him and he's going to live, you know, it's okay. They had it planned out. I don't know about that If that's the case, okay, but i'm not sure if I 100 percent agree with that. Um, yeah Girl, whatever I'm back to watching the walking dead And um, I'm glad to see the crossover of the characters. I really do like morrigan on the show There's a lot of english actors on the show besides andrew Lincoln With his fine self and he does a southern accent pretty well I was I was surprised to hear he wasn't from the u.s But anyway, uh, and of course fine fine as frank is on there. Yeah, I don't like frank on the walking dead But I really don't like Who's from the south? We've seen it time and time again. Uh, the stereotypical slow uh character with the southern draw so Frank's character on the walking dead is from the south and he comes off not necessarily slow He comes off as dim with it. I don't know that kind of bothers me And I've seen this before with with you know, stereotypical southern characters being the the dumb character But anyway girl, I'm getting in my feelings. Let's look at talking. So, you know watching fear of the of the walking dead watching a couple of shows um A couple of movies on netflix girl the best show on netflix It's a german-based show Dark when I tell you that look Dark is one of those shows time traveling shows loop shows First of all, I when I was watching finish watching one episode I had to go through to google and and like look up the family tree I absolutely love this show. It's different layers. They just came out with season two I binge watch it. Oh, but did y'all know those of you are watching it Girl, it's something about me and all the men when I find out someone is over 45 You'll find this girl go way up here So one of the characters excuse me um the actor that plays Jonas the middle Jonas There was a scene good. Come on. I'm gonna keep doing my hair. There was a scene where he walked out First of all, I was laying on the couch my my tail Got all the way up when I saw this scene. He's very cut. He's very defined The actor is very lean and he has that hip cut You know that for the very lean and you can see the crease of the cut and it's going down to the Grown area and I know I probably need to read the book of Timothy after this, but He's very cut and very defined. I'm like, what the hell I rewind that scene like two or three times just to see that I was like, oh, he is fine itself. So then Like I said, well up to his fine meter I would online to see how old he is. This man is 50 years old 50 years german 50 years old, I'm like, oh, you know what guy was not sleeping when he made that man is fine Fine. So anyway, you guys are you guys I've taken my hair down. I'm going to apply one pump depending on um I'm gonna try my best to Yeah, my hair is so dry All right One pump maybe two Of the styler slash detangler slash leave in All right Now we're going to black twist Yeah, y'all. So I watched that trying to get into some movies. I really could not Right now. I cannot get into the netflix show With the five young men who were wrongly accused of that park. I I can't do it right now y'all not not right now Not right now What else am I watching try to watch the sci-fi show? I am mother girl Turn off the bedroom and the robot and leave but anyway, um Try to watch claws now. Y'all know claws is one of those shows It's so graphic Like doesn't really have this does every other episode have to have some graphic sex scene It's just too much y'all so i'm not going to be watching it this season. I just i'm not going to be able to do it. Um Look I have my foolish time. I mean Whatever that means. I just can't do it right now. I really can't Um, maybe you know, maybe later on if something, you know, amazing happens But right now i'm going to pass on claws and move on. I wonder how their ratings are doing. Um Did not watch the bt award show girl. I stopped watching that The last time I watched it was when no need hosted that should tell you the one the last time I watched it Something flew by me girl. Um, yeah, I don't care to watch it didn't really watch it That is it y'all as far as tv goes. Um, okay, so in these facebook groups y'all so I really haven't been on facebook much but Some of the things that people allow nowadays. I'll be thinking to myself. I would never like someone asked Basically, we're surrounding children allowing their boyfriend and girlfriend to spend a night over the parents house What let me tell you something first of all that's disrespectful as hell where i'm from is sexist. We don't do that I know a lot of other places. You don't do that at all spending the night of you wait a minute, so You want to spend the night of your parents house with your boyfriend You could do that in your house, but you can't come up in my house That's the type of stuff that my my mama wouldn't even say that But I wouldn't even be able to form my mouth to say mama can can me and alex stay up in your house And you y'all not married girl. No, even when I was grown Grown and my mama knew I was just out there I would never bring or ask her if I could bring a boyfriend You better go over there get you a hotel Actually, don't even say anything that you can get you a hotel. Don't even mention it and not only that but You know when you're not married they don't even they don't even refer to your boyfriend by his first name He's your little friend Girl, it doesn't matter how long you've been dating. It doesn't matter if you got kids together I remember when we went to um vegas and we weren't married at the time We were engaged girl. They don't count you weren't married And so my aunt was like Vivian. What's your little friend's name? Aunt and godmother she said what's your little friend's name Vivian? I said alex which by the way y'all I call him alex. That's not his name. That's not his name. You you don't need to know his name, but I could not stop laughing, but that's just how you know, that's old school But you know and I saw the comments going back and forth I know I think it was a mother asking what what did she think about you know allowing Her son's girlfriend to spend a night and if that works for your family That's something you could do baby good, but where I'm from like I said you don't do that You don't just No, absolutely not girl. No wouldn't be happening. I wouldn't even feel comfortable asking my parents that So girl. Yes. I'm like, uh-uh So y'all saw The she room right girl. I had been having a good time in the she room um Excuse me. Uh jay be getting them in there jay be saying mama can we go in the she room and shut the door? First of all jay be key word she room Oh No, you can't come up in here Even if you are a female you can't come up in here. No jay be. Okay. We go in there and watch uh What what's that little raggedy show? He likes to watch Thomas the train. Can we go watch Thomas the train? No I may put that to you I'm loving it y'all. I definitely think that everyone Men and female you should have your own space, you know, this was kind of random. I mean, when is it not random? Um I want to say that, you know, I will be having a giveaway coming up I just need to find time to record a girl. Um, and it will be conditioners mostly deep conditioners about eight conditioners Unfortunately, we'll have to stay here in the us because girl, baby Shipping those products last year internationally. I don't regret it, but I don't regret it, but it was just such a hassle and it cost me Way not way more. It cost me more than the products itself the shipping. It cost me almost 80 dollars Whoa Yeah, I know girl, but hey, it was worth it to my friend down in the islands I think what you were you from says verbados think it was verbados It was worth it. I'm not complaining.
