 Hey you guys, it just said that my skin looks great, yes, I don't know why I'm doing that. The day after Christmas we had a fabulous Christmas, right baby? You need to be a little bit more cheerful though, it's like whatever mama. We did, we had a fabulous Christmas. Thank you baby, that was better, you see how I taught him well girl. Yeah, we had a great Christmas, it was so great to see J.B. open up all his presents because at this age, those of you who don't know, J.B. is five and a half, gotta put that half in a girl, five and a half and it's so good to be able, it's a different skill level than he was when he was four opening up his presents. He was so, he was so grateful, he was like, you're the best mommy in the whole planet. I'm like, oh, he even, he made me a card he had, and then I gave you a present. He gave me a present, yes, so it is the day after and I'm about those sales girls, so we are going to go to Target because those little cute little plush ornaments I was showing you guys, I wanna be, J.B. is afraid of them but I'm gonna get a frill and I'm gonna put them on the other side of the Christmas tree so you won't see it. But my Christmas tree, I may have to get, you know what, but I think he may be air conditioning. I'm looking at this guy next door, it's a brother. No, no, you're not, no, you're not, you better hush up. So anyway, we're on our way there but real quick, I'm gonna tell you guys this, I am all for education but I am more so for developing a skill set, now that I'm a little bit older and I have a higher education. I have a master's degree in human dynamics, organizational change, not even using it because I thought at the time it would be a good idea. And I've heard you guys have heard me talk about this before, I think it's really important, especially for our younger people so that they're not getting a unridiculously amount of money in debt because I'm not signing for no type of loans, nor daddy or not, or not doing that. We are instilling in J.B. to develop a skill set, go to trade school, go to junior college, learn about bookkeeping, accounting, be your own business partner. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I have a stepson, he's a little bit older, like a little bit girl, he's 18, yes my husband had him when we were in college and so he spoke to him because it was holiday, it was the holidays, it was Christmas yesterday and so he has a full scholarship to go to any college right now and he decided to get a degree in psychology and my husband and I are looking at each other like psychology. Okay, so it's not to say he can't use it but it's just one of those degrees that is like, I know a lot of people who have degrees like I have, hell me, you know, who have degrees like that and I know people who have master's degrees, PhDs and they're in fields that have nothing to do with their degrees but they're having to pay all this back all this student loan money. So my husband said he said I'm not going to push it but he's like, I try to let him know he needs to develop a skill. All right y'all, so let me show y'all what I got, we went to Target and to Fry's because of course the day after they always have sales girls, sales, sales, sales, so they had these cute little ornaments that I saw at Target before Christmas and I was like, you know what, I'm going to wait, I'm going to wait till they go and sell so these were just a dollar fifty, aren't these adorable? Since someone was acting crazy, I couldn't really shop how I wanted to, so I just got three of them, this one, this one, and this one, isn't this cute? A dollar fifty. No it does not look cute, it looks so scary. Got some coffee on sale, $2.99 and these bag of 20 bowls for next year for a dollar. I still have holiday wrapping paper so we're good. Hey y'all, it is Friday, it's Friday and I'm ready to swing girl, I'll hold another pitch. Oh y'all, I'm gonna do a little bit of minting, I just, I thought y'all told me that this would get better, things will get better as far as my child goes. JB woke up at four o'clock this morning, he's been waking up at five a.m. all week and I know it's because he's not in school and when I tell you I am tired, baby I am tired, I am so sleepy. Normally I get up at four a.m, but he's literally been waking me up and I'm one of those type of sleepers and first of all, I have insomnia, I do go to bed early so I try to be in bed by nine o'clock and then, but I'm one of those type of people, I can wake up at one o'clock in the morning and watch a video or two and go back to sleep and my husband is the same way, quite as a cab, he'll wake up at five, look at a video or two or respond to his other girlfriend, but yeah, I meant fries, grocery store to pick up some a couple of more groceries, but yeah, I'm sorry, back to JB, it's just been y'all, I am ready for his ass, I'm so ready for him to go back to school. He will be off until January 7th though and what is Christine, Christine you are off, Christine don't be answering emails when you off girl, Christine is my co-worker and friend y'all. He's off to January 7th and it's just December, what's the date y'all, what's the date? December 28th, when I tell you I'm over this child, y'all know me or you know if you've been following me for a while, you know that I don't sit at home, we have activities, so typically on the weekend we're all doing something, well JB is anticipating it, that's what we're gonna be doing and I keep trying to tell him we are on vacation, we are on holiday, you know like the English shade, we're on holiday, we're on vacation, we're not doing anything and he throws a damn fit, 50 shades of crazy fit and I'm over it, so you know now he's gotten used to it since he's been home now for about six days straight, he's gotten used to it like okay I'm not going anywhere, but today I told him I'll take him over to Ms. Lori's house so he could play with Ms. Lori, y'all Ms. Lori, thanks for the cross, her mother-in-law is in town and when I tell you she is petty as hell towards her mother-in-law, and anyway I'm not gonna talk about people's business, but I think it's kind of funny, I think it's funny and sad at the same time because I like old people so anyway, I got some condiments and stuff for things that I'm gonna make for today, I'm gonna make some hot wings and what am I gonna make, hot wings, some roasted potatoes and collard greens, so I'll take collard greens with kale, but I picked up JB his green eggs and ham whenever we go out as a family, we in my husband's vehicle, he because he's has the CD player, I got him a new CD, I got some you know household stuff, got JB some soap, but I also picked up these cute little sleds because right now ornaments are 50% off, so this matches my theme and so I picked up three of these because they're only 50 cents at 50% off at the Dollar Street, everything else is household stuff, child she got some wine boxes, girl these people look, New Year's Eve, are y'all doing anything for New Year's Eve, I don't want to want to load this video, are y'all doing anything, my country paranoid but I can count on one hand how many times I've been out officially celebrating New Year's, I don't do that, I'm afraid, I don't do that, I'm gonna be home, now I will probably, girl I'm not gonna be with my husband counting down, I'm going to bed, you all really can't see me, this is what I was gonna tell you guys, I went ahead and ordered some more hair products and the first half of next year would definitely be you know the comparison series, but the next half will be about my healthy hair journey yet again I feel like, let me go to my orders, I ordered, I also ordered a happy planner y'all, so I got the old school girl, old school, which I know about that Giovanni, Giovanni Diric leave in, the best leave-in conditioner to date is Kimmy Tube's DIY recipe for the leave-in conditioner, that is the best for my hair especially if you low porosity, if you don't know what the Kimmy Tube leave in, look her up, I may do a video on it, I don't know, but what I use, I use a Giovanni direct leave in, I use jojoba oil and olive oil juice, let me tell you what else I ordered, I also ordered the TGIN buttercream, I like her buttercream more so than the um twist and define cream and of course I ordered jojoba oil, that's all I needed, I might have enough hair products but that's what I needed to you know get my hair to where it needs to be at, um tell me why, tell me why, so I look at whenever I want to look you know do a new uh a new makeup look, I look at makeup tutorials like I think a lot of us do, I was going through, I think her name is Nikki Swift, I don't know what country she's at, she's European, um one of her videos, they got a quite, she has a huge following, I mean she's a big time YouTuber, makeup gurus what they call them and she had Rihanna's makeup artist doing her hair, I mean doing her makeup, you know and I'm going through the comments because I'm looking at this woman's foundation, when I tell you it is damn near perfection and flawless, I'm like what type of sorcery, why did I go through a couple of comments and someone mentions that she used a blurring filter, what why didn't I know lead me to watching Wayne who I love, I love Wayne, he's a makeup artist, I forgot his last name and he has great tips on doing makeup because he's been in the game for a while, he ain't he ain't no spring chicken baby, he's been in the game for a while, so he literally shows you on cam before and after using a blurring filter and I'm like y'all so you now it's like who do you believe when it comes to a review because sometimes I will look up, I don't do it as much as now because I'm pretty much I'm okay on makeup part but when I want to try a new makeup or try you know to figure out how to use an actual product I will look up a tutorial, so you have these makeup or makeup youtubers or whatever using this particular filter and it's giving them an illusion of perfection, so when you go home and use the same product y'all ass looking like so Wayne look it up y'all, some of y'all probably already know it, Wayne shows you what the filter looks like, I mean it literally there's no skin discoloration, there's an even before he even put on any makeup everything's even, there's no redness, there's no under eye lines, so I'm like this is a bunch of damn foolery seriously but then I pointed and it was like oh well that worked for my hair good morning, good morning, good morning everyone, so it is the weekend after Christmas, this is gonna be a long vlog, so get ready girl, get your snacks, get your coffee, get your alcohol if you drinking alcohol, baby I'll show you in a minute, so we woke up, well at least I woke up super early, JB has been waking up at four between four and five o'clock every day because he's not in school, so he's going to bed early like seven o'clock, sometimes he's trying to go to bed at six thirty and I'm anyway so it's okay because I'm up, but today I got up super early because we got our new TV situated, let me show y'all what it looks like, this is a curved, you can see it curved like that, this is a 55 inch curved smart TV, right now JB's looking at YouTube but let me show you guys, that's enough, that's enough syrup, this shot was eaten pancakes, let me go to the home, so what I did, girl I was not playing, I'm not gonna do it, it's gonna come up, I'm not doing anything, it's coming up okay, so what I did baby, my husband put it together yesterday and this morning I got up early to reinstate my Netflix and sling, hey unique, I was gonna tell me to stop, reinstated my Netflix, got sling TV in YouTube, there's also Hulu Hulu, but no, yeah because our bill I told y'all, my bill last month was like 130, 140, the package was $88 before tax and they charge you for the equipment and everything, so Netflix is 10, my sling TV is 35, that's $45 and I got added packages on sling TV, if I wanted to I can get Hulu, but I'm okay, we'll sling Netflix on our YouTube, my sling, let me back out of this because JB's looking at YouTube, look at the picture, it's Morgan okay, I've been looking at Mr. Lightful girl and keeping up appearances, let me look me up y'all, yes, you know what JB's like no, I'm gonna look at Morgan, hold on, how do I pack this up, hey, twerk, twerk, look how good we look, oh wow, yes, y'all, I'm my business, I'm my biggest, what do you call it, I'm my biggest fan, tonight is date night, yes girl, so I'm gonna try to do, show y'all what I'm gonna be wearing, I'm gonna be wearing one of my sweater dresses, girl I only have four like four sweater dresses, that's a lot, I have about five or so sweater dresses, I have a lot of dresses, I would say out of all of the different type of clothes I have, I have a lot of dresses, there was a point in time where all our wore dresses and skirts into the office, I just like to be feminine, I have about well then throw it away, am I done, I don't know about 40 to 50 dresses, yes, so I'm gonna be wearing a cute eggplant, me I've seen this before sweater dress but it is cold here, we go out like once every two weeks and mama throw back, I know, I know pray for me, but I have these, what is my point, I like to have dessert when I get back home, I don't know why, but I like to have something sweet to eat, so I have these sweet potatoes that are going a little bad, what I'm going to do is make a sweet potato pound cake, now I looked at some recipes but I'm gonna call my mama, I'm gonna call my mama because she's really good, this is one of her famous pound cakes, I'm gonna call her and ask her how she makes it and that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna show y'all how I'm gonna make that and then tomorrow I'm gonna make orange chicken, I'll show y'all how I make that too, I'm gonna put a little bit more going back to putting a little bit more cooking into my vlog, it's like I used to, remember how I used to, yeah, because I'm not going to be doing separate videos, I'm sorry, but I'll make sure to, dang, JV ate all those pound cakes, he loves the pound cakes at McDonald's, you ate them all, now baby what you would really like are whole cakes, y'all know what whole cakes are, those are you from Texas and Louisiana, you probably know what whole cakes are, whole cakes are basically a corn meal and it's like a mix between hot water cornbread and a pancake, it's basically a pancake with cornmeal and people in the country, child my parents would eat, my mama would make some whole cakes with fried fish, so these are the ingredients for the sweet potato pound cake, I'm using cooking with Carolyn's recipe, kind of tweaking it a little bit, she used one stick of butter, I'm gonna use one and a half six, Ray, Ray cooking, y'all know who he is, he comments every now and then on one of my videos, he uses two sticks of butter, two stick of butter y'all, Carolyn uses one cube or one block of cream cheese, I'm gonna use half a block, so I've been cooking for a while so I know how to, you know, adjust measurements, well you don't want to mess with the stuff that will help it to rise like your baking powder, baking sodas, I kept that the same in your flour, um so yeah three cups of flour, then I have my cinnamon nutmeg, vanilla, four eggs, still going to do four eggs, this is going to be for my icing, I want to do a cream cheese icing which is why I'm only going to use half a stick of that cream cheese, okay, I'm going to be linking her both of their videos below in the description box, this is not just anything, even the mother a lot when I bought some cookies over there, she was like you are a good baker, this is a wash and go, looks good, huh, taking down styles or it's very very easy now that my ends are shorter, um you can still see, see, you can see that unevenness, let me stop talking about it and just make it come out a little bit more, yeah, oh well, and I'm not gonna be looking at me, they're gonna be looking at my beet, yes, this purple, a little messy but what can you do, let me show you what I'm wearing, I have on this purple sweater dress, this is the dress, it's a real pretty purple, um can't even see that, these boots, my best friend bought me these boots a couple of years ago, these roasted potatoes, let me turn this down, these roasted potatoes are so good, let me tell you the trick to making them flavorful, one tablespoon of real butter to two tablespoons of a good quality olive oil, yeah I couldn't figure out what we were gonna eat today, so I literally have potatoes, rice, sorry, you guys had the vegetables earlier, earlier, we got collard greens, broccoli, carrots, gonna fry up the orange chicken in here, make the sauce, and yeah, oh my gosh, this is so good, I already packed my husband some food for him, first of all, one of the reasons why I don't look through puffs is because it's so heavy and my head's starting to hurt a little bit but after the first few minutes, I'll get used to it, I need to do a puff for at least two days before I wash my hair, it is Sunday, I have a bit of a hangover, um I don't know why I do tequila y'all, normally, I'm weird, I, first of all, I normally can't, I can't do tequila clearly anymore but I can mix my drinks, so last time I went to this place, I had tequila, a tequila drink, and a drink with vodka, and I was okay the next morning, this time I just had two drinks, two margaritas, and I'm done, like I woke up sick, not like vomiting or anything, just didn't feel good, and this morning I was like, yeah, so took me a magnesium, took some vitamins, drank a lot of water, ate half of a banana, fussed with potassium, and I'm feeling good, I want to invest in a printer, apparently last night we bought, I had a balloon, JB has a balloon, apparently last night we bought a sound box girl, I was lit, I don't even remember buying that, I remember going around, looking around at Best Buy, but that's it, I don't know how we got home, two, I'm a lightweight y'all, because you can tell, I mostly drink wine, so, and then yesterday we went to um kids park, and they got this balloon for kids, you got that kids park, see I didn't remember him getting this balloon, and I made slime, but the teacher didn't know we were making slime today, oh I didn't know that, we're not going to make slime today, we'll make it this week, JB's going to be home for another week, did I say that last night, you can't trust anything I said last night, don't trust anything I said last night, hey you guys, so I had a appointment with another dermatologist today, only because the dermatologist I went to, he was great, but it's a man, and I'm having some eczema type issues on my breast, however, the dermatologist told me that she thinks I'm reacting to the surgery suitors, that um okay baby, go sit down, she said it'll take, it typically takes from the time of surgery to now, time of surgery a year, almost a year for those suitors to completely dissolve, so she wrote me a prescription for like a tub of the stirrup cream, but she told me that you can only take it for a week, but I need to, I need to be on a daily antihistamine, so she's like are you on any type of afton medication, JB hold on, you see me doing this, um I told her I said what I was on singular, but I got off of that due to anxiety, so she said I can take like clarin or benadryl, which for some reason I checked my cabinet, I don't have any of that, JB has tons of stuff, so later on today when I, hold on baby, later on today when I go pick up my other medication, well the stirrup cream, I'm gonna go ahead and get me like some off brand benadryl, what really works for me is Zyrtec, but it's so expensive, they don't want to hear that, whatever you gotta do, why the hell do you have on a hat and a jacket with a hood up, okay tell me something, but go ahead, let me take put this camera down y'all, so I'm fixing my breakfast, go ahead baby, let me know, come over here so they can see you, you forgot, yeah, speaking of forgetting about stuff, y'all I was just watching a video, it is so sad what's happening with B-Smif, I wasn't gonna do a chit chat this week, but I really don't want to record this week, we literally have one more vacation, one more weekend till our vacation, so this is gonna be a long ass vlog, it may be an hour long because I'm not, I don't have time to chop up these, all of this footage and load it up into two videos, I don't have time, what's the point, oh I was gonna do a chit chat video, and I wanted to talk about B-Smif and her husband and his side piece, those of you who don't, of course you know now, what is it, what is it child? I put the mini iPhone in the floor, in the floor, let me check on my bread, I was just watching a video on B-Smif and apparently her husband is seeing another woman, those of you who don't know, B-Smif was basically like the black version of Martha Stewart, I loved her show, it will come on PBS, was it PBS or another channel, I will watch it as a teenager, B-Smif is absolutely beautiful in her prime, she was top notch chocolate, she has red undertones, overtones or something, her skin is like this red, huge beautiful brown skin, no I'm not hush, so what's the point girl, okay so let me back up, last week I was on Facebook and I'm, you know I liked their page a long time ago, like years ago right, her page, well he since has named it to like B-Smif and Dan or whatever, I noticed a couple of posts from him basically just talking about, because he's the main caregiver for her, excuse me, those of you who don't know, let me back up again, I'm so sorry, B-Smif was diagnosed with early onset all summers, like she was diagnosed with early onset, early all summers at like 63, 62, absolutely devastating, I remember there was a time where she was lost, was it New York you guys, she was lost for like 16, 18 hours in New York, first of all if they knew that she had early onset, why would they, anyway, I was looking at a couple of posts from him right and I hadn't seen posts in a while, so every now and then and I noticed a couple of women, one woman in particular was basically like I can't believe you Dan, you out here, you know with another woman in your house would be there and I'm like what the hell is going on, so I scrolled down, scrolled down, scrolled down and his posts are so inappropriate, he's cursing, he's talking about having to wipe her and I'm like this is what you sign up for, this is for better or for worse, do sixes and a half, what the hell, why are you, I don't understand, a part of him was vinten, if you can't do it, she was a millionaire, is a millionaire, hire help, put that woman somewhere to where she could get help around the clock which is what she means and he's not up for it, not only that but apparently he has a girlfriend, he made some posts y'all a while back talking about this, this is a bunch of foolery, almost curse, he made some posts talking about I can't hang on to the past, I gotta live my life, so you gotta be a man though, if you don't want can he even legally divorce her if she's not mentally there, that is just horrible, I'm sorry, that is sad, I have and I want to ask like where is her family, I know they didn't have any kids together, she doesn't have any children at all, where is her family in this, why haven't they said anything or maybe they have and we don't know, oh that's disgusting isn't it, y'all can look, y'all can look up the post yourself on Facebook, Dan, Dan and B Smith, I know I'm talking country Dan, D-A-N and B Smith and you can see his posts and this is not someone who's you know 30 years old, 20, 30 years old acting crazy, this man is in his 60s acting like this, a mess, just a mess, so I'm gonna show you guys how I make a frozen pizza butter now, my husband's at, so now I try not to eat frozen food just because of the sodium content but every now and then girl I don't feel like cooking, so tonight I'm having a real frozen pizza, I'll probably only have half of this pizza and yeah I'll save the other half for tomorrow, I don't know, sometimes I've been able to cut the frozen pizza but I don't feel like doing that, so the one of the first things you can do is flip the pizza over and brush olive oil on the back which I'm going to do in a second but I have had this pizza before, this is a signature collection so by Kroger's and Fry's out here and I got these Sicilian spicy Italian sausage and it's a pretty good pizza because of the crust, it's really good crust, so fresh ingredients, this already has tomatoes and cheese so I'm gonna stick with that motif or whatever, I do have other ingredients in there like spinach, peppers but I don't really don't like spinach on my pizza, I do have some jalapenos, I'm trying not to have spicy food right now, so what I do have is some mozzarella, some tomatoes and some fresh parsley and then I'm going to be adding also some fresh garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasonings and some red pepper flakes, and that's my frozen pizza, I'm going to pop this in 400, I mean I'm just going to do according to the directions between 10 to 12 minutes, well like 12 to 14 minutes and this should be done, this is what the pizza looks like all done, crust, you hear that crunch, you guys it is the day after, well no it's new year's, we didn't do anything last night, let me tell you something, I'm freaking stressed out y'all, whoever came up with the idea of a winter break should have their head examined, I wish I could say that I've been having a good time with my time off, I have not, JB is stressing me the hell out and everything's closed every other day so it's not like you know and I honestly I wanted to sit home and chill and this child is so used, maybe I created a monster, he is so used to being out and about, he's driving me crazy wanting to know where we going, when are we going and then crying and having to fit because we're not going anywhere, mind you some of the footage y'all have been seeing, we've been going out every two days and at this point I just want to stay home and be quiet and chill out and he just doesn't want to, I'm sorry to have been, these are the times where I wish I lived close to my family or friends and again there is no one, we have no one here, there's no one that I could call up or um yeah and for some reason we have an extreme, I feel like we have an extremely long vacation, I mean he's been out since the 20th, the 21st, he's been out since the 21st and it's just not January 1st and he won't go back to the 8th of January, I am so over it, um a lot of the things I was supposed to have done, so one of the major things was cleaning my blinds, I haven't even had a chance to do, I'm hoping I could do it Friday when he's at the camp, he's gonna go to camp tomorrow, thank god and I'll be able to wash my hair, I want to show you something, I'll be able to wash my hair and do a wash day, um I'm just y'all, it came out of a dark web, so this is the thing too, I'm a little stressed, not necessarily stressed out about but we were planning on having a little getaway, you know to go to Sedona and Sedona is getting um some bad weather and to the point to where I think I looked at the temperature, the high is a 50 which is okay but it's gonna be raining and who wants to go to a place where primarily you're outdoors and it's gonna be cold and rainy, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to speak to my husband about it again and be like we may want to consider, we're gonna spend all this money going up there just to be inside, I mean Sedona is beautiful and normally this time of the year it's hit or miss but looking at the weather, personally I don't want to go up there when it's raining and I don't think we should, I don't think we should um and I think I mentioned perhaps I didn't, the Jeep tours we were doing, they won't be available because it's snowing on top of the mountains so yeah, whoo girl, y'all it is cold, it is 35 degrees here in Phoenix Arizona, um I just dropped JB off at his school, he was so worried that there would be, first of all this is still their winter break, it's January 2nd girl, it's still their winter break and so I signed him up for two days this week, Wednesday which is today and then Friday so that he can you know be around some kids and we can have some time to do what we need to do because I've been working, I've only had one day off this week, I haven't been working, I've been checking in on my emails but my point is that I've only had one day off this week and typically this time for us, those of us who work in the system, we're actually busy, it's steady busy, we're going, migrating towards a new system and a new release so I need to be working so he's here and he was a little concerned, he's like mommy I don't know if there's gonna be any kids my age there any any little kids but JB is so, it's part of his personality but I've also has, I have built my child up to where he doesn't need to be around little kids to have fun, he has enough um what do you call it y'all sorry, he has enough, he has good self-esteem to where he would be able to play with bigger kids if he needed be and sure enough I dropped him off and most of the kids there are smaller kids so that makes me feel better but I told him I would pick him up a little early um drop him off at eight and they actually offered care from six a.m to six p.m same price so you don't pay you know any difference for after-school care you know because technically it's not after-school care it's just care um I'm not going to do that I would pick him up at two o'clock I told him so eight to two what is that six hours yeah I'll pick him up at two o'clock six hours is good um and then Friday I think we'll do even less um so right now I'm gonna go to the store y'all my breasts are on fire I don't know y'all don't want to hear that but now it's getting to the point to where my my skin is chafing oh is that how you say it some of the skin is getting flaky because I have literally had eczema since and I'm inching now I'm sorry I've had eczema since August and now we're in January let me move up some there's a person behind me um I'm just gonna come around here it is so itchy y'all um and the medication I'm getting they got me a tub of it and uh let me just come right here y'all there's no one here so they ordered me a tub of it because it only comes in the little small tubs of 30 milligrams well they ordered me a huge tub and it wasn't there yesterday at the pharmacy so they said they have we have to wait on it so I need to go get me some at least your medicine um what's the point so I got six hours to make do go here go to fries to pick up my stuff go home straighten up a little bit I thought I would maybe do maybe be able to do a workout that's not going to happen um I have gained some weight some holiday pounds maybe like three pounds but when you're short I'm five three and a half when you're short three pounds can make make a make a do you anyway I can't work out just watch what I eat instead um so yeah go run these errands real quick go home straighten up and start doing some work I'm gonna pre-pool my hair first because it's in the wash you got a lot of you said that you normally want where washing goes you don't like washing goes because it gets tangled a lot that's true but what I found works for me is to pre-pool my hair and let it sit for like an hour or so with some you know um under a plastic bag and then I I do detail on my hair in the shower at that point because I have stuff in my hair and boom it just those those knots will come out and I still use nappy headed jojoba's recipe it is the bomb.com and I really think it's the coconut milk and the ampicidal vinegar which helps to break down those knots I really do think so and of course whatever type of rinse out conditioner that you're using with that recipe I do have a video on them all right you guys hey how are y'all doing it is Friday I know this vlog is literally going to spend over two weeks it is the first week of January and I'm feeling a certain type of way because look I have ordered so much stuff in the past two weeks like it is ridiculous um let me back up it's first week of January it's Friday it's Friday and I'm ready to swing speaking of Aliyah yeah I know what I want to say apparently R. Skelly or R. Kelly lifetime did a they're in the middle of a documentary regarding what is it called y'all living with R. Kelly or surviving R. Kelly excuse me lifetime pick up the show and it's six part series and apparently they did two last night I wasn't aware that lifetime was going to be doing this but I saw so many people already reviewing it I saw a little bit of Ashley Miller she's a fellow youtuber I saw a little bit of her video oh my god I feel like my lips let me get some chapstick hold on y'all this video and I don't think I'm going to be able to watch it I really do not think I'm going to be able to watch this it just sickens me and there's a couple of people on my friend's list that I've had to um either block or ignore okay this is how I feel these are my feelings and we're going to move on I do feel like that there are certain people in the industry who are targeted and um some false accusations or put against one who I really do think to this day was always innocent was Michael Jackson only because there was some evidence they had came out afterwards they showed that he didn't touch any of those kids um and I don't know if any of you guys realize it but the first father that accused Michael Jackson of touching his child ended up committing suicide and I believe the child whose name is now an adult named Jordan he came out and said that his father his father had uh made him lie and so Michael Jackson is one of the people who I always thought was innocent I also feel like Michael Jackson was used by a lot of people in the industry um he was pimped not sexually but pimped musically for his talents by a lot of people in the industry the fact that there are so many people I know you guys have heard this already there are so many grown ass people I've seen comments like they know what they were doing referring to the young girls who were molested they know what they were doing and I saw some I've seen some comments by me and saying well these girls didn't look their age they didn't look like they were 14 and 15 so just because they didn't look like it and more nine times out of 10 the men grown ass men finally realized that they're only 14 and 15 and they still pursue these young women when you're 14 15 years old you cannot consent to sex because you're not an adult okay it is just disgusting you guys especially in the black community how we still protect known pedophiles we do it in the music industry we do it in the church we do it in our families and it's just something that we do not speak about this man is a pedophile or Kelly is a pedophile it is known that he married or he married aliyah at a young age not only that when the aliyah story story came out I was I was on some of the facebook groups I'm in a lot of groups and so I was reading people who were reading comments from people who were in Chicago stating that they knew he was a pedophile all this time and apparently before our Kelly got really really big when he was doing local concerts and I believe he was even singing in a subway or something like that he would purposely go to high schools and let you know people know about what he was doing he would target young girls at high schools and he's singing grown ass songs made for adults I stopped listening to our Kelly way back I think I was in college when those accusations came out he was peeing on those young girls absolutely disgusting do y'all remember there was a story that had ran on BET and the interview was basically like do you have and this is not word for word but the guy interviewing or Kelly was basically like do you have a thing for young girls or teenagers and you know and so our Kelly was like defined teenagers what age are we talking about why do you need to be that why do you need to be that specific or Kelly that was that is weird he gives me weird vibes he creeps me the hell out okay creepy as hell anyway y'all back I went on a tangent on that I don't think I'm gonna be able to watch it I'm not gonna watch it I'll look at the reviews but I'm not I don't think I'll be able to watch it um anyway so yes girl I got heated I have been shopping y'all I when I tell you I have so many things coming in first of all is JB's birthday next week so I gotta get things in order we're not doing anything I know I would definitely be going crazy um planning planning a party for him so we're not doing a party girl two introverts having an uh extrovert child is not fun he wants to have a party he wants to do all that hold on y'all drive and then park um but we canceled the trip to Sedona because it's very cold like right now here in Phoenix is 37 and it's cooler up in Sedona because it's going up north um and so what we decided to do to do like I mentioned earlier is we got a hotel room and a nice part of Scottsdale but we always go to this restaurant there's literally like like I said walking distance so we'll go there um the morning of we're gonna go to the Legoland shit I'm I know my husband wants to do things as a family I'm this close to Canton Legoland and I'm fighting two or three of his little friends out to Chucky Jesus because Legoland it's gonna cost 55 dollars and that's that's a deal 50 it's 20 dollars almost 60 dollars it's 20 dollars a person and then 14 12 dollars for a child Chucky Jesus is 10 tell I'll buy them all I'll get them all coins for 20 dollars y'all I'm cheap like that I don't think I want to spend 55 dollars on two hours of fullery but it's my baby's birthday he's not necessarily getting a birthday present um because we're doing all this for him I mean it's going to be like a weekend long event yeah we spoil him um another thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to redo his room y'all I'm going to redecorate it Pacman style so I've already started getting some stuff I'm going to surprise it for him that Friday I'm going to bring donuts for his friends on Friday for his birthday getting him balloons I'm going to be busy as hell on Friday but I took that day off and I will more than likely start preparing things uh like now a lot of it's going to be DIY um but I did order some new bedding for him there's things you could do around if you want to redo your room there's things you could do um DIY to where you're not spending a lot of money spending a lot of money I think because I did get him new bedding and um I ordered something else today this morning from Wafer I ordered a bean bag so I think overall I've spent almost 200 not really almost 200 but that includes new bedding okay and a piece of furniture I think that's damn good yeah 200 around 180 between 180 to 200 is how much I've spent so far and that's it I'm not spending any more money um but yeah I've been spending besides that I bought some glasses through Furmo they had to sell on to where frames were free um but I was smart I got the glasses on December 31st so I'm gonna use my insurance I'm gonna once that invoice comes in I'm gonna download that send it to my insurance so I can get that paid for for free yeah y'all I've been spending a lot of money getting some stuff um I ordered him some stuff through children's place and I put in an Amazon order what did I order that stuff from Amazon I feel like Amazon is slacking on on um orders you guys I think that Amazon when they first started out for like the first four or five years they were real good at sending stuff out pretty fast is that mean I feel like maybe they spoiled us I think that's what it is you know how they would say well you would get it with them five to seven business days it used to be you would get it sometimes before five days now I'm seeing that they're not even shipping stuff out till damn near the fifth business day so I'm gonna give you guys an update on my hair it feels good this is the first time with me seeing it without stretch out and really so hold on sorry without um because immediately afterwards when she cut my hair miss earlite cut my hair she blew it out so that stretched then I did a wash and go with just ultimate shrinkage but then I stretched it out with banding this is it two days after washing and when I tell you this is really I'm like wow my hair yeah you could you could see it's noticeably shorter let me take it all down and this is the look at my twist compared to what they used to look like so this is with me this is with me stretching it before I could stretch it down to here so I am going to go ahead we won't keep it pushing all right um it's going to grow back like we already said I just want to give y'all an update what it looks like I'm gonna show you guys what um what I'm gonna be doing hold on yes girl yes miss Jackson is jumping on the on the rice waterband wagging so I am going to be documenting this but I have rarely seen people who do more than a month or so I have I haven't seen any of any of those type of videos if you know of anyone please share it and let me know so I can research those women too I have watched the green beauty channel um her video and I've seen several videos and I've been watching these for a while nampy food has one too on how she does and there's so many ways to do it I even saw how the women the y'all old y-a-o I hope I'm pronouncing that right probably not how they actually ferment they take they ferment for like a week to two weeks some of the youtubers only do it for 24 hours I'm gonna do mine for three days three to four days um the reason why it's orange is I have orange peel in here I also added orange citrus drops um essential oil and yeah this is gonna be sitting here um for three days yeah you won't see the rice water results until what is that six months later that's like july july mid july okay and so what I'm gonna have to do so I could just focus on my regimen is do all of these um the last four videos like within the next two or three weeks which I can do I can do that I have some sitting out here to review for next week and then I'll just schedule everything out accordingly so yes you guys and I hear that it smells like it smells horrible let me go know any any of you who've done it I think this will be very doable for me because I won't be having any extra things I need to do as far as um videos for y'all I'll just be working on my hair and that's it so anyway you guys I think that'll be it for this vlog it's getting long I know it's getting long and I got stuff to do today and the next time you guys see me or see us it will be for JB's birthday week yes and I think I will start that I'll be gathering some stuff for his room read the redesign or redecoration and we'll start from there all right you guys I'll see you next week bye
