Hi! I'm Pwatem
by pwatem on 13th November 2009, 12:59 am
I have a bin of belts and headbands and I haven't looked in it for a while. I found tons of awesome headbands (some of which I used to seal my windows because it's really cold) and since it's been rainy and cold here I've been doing protective styles.

Oh yea, side note my ceiling and walls are leaking after 54 hours of rain (according to ABC news) that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. There are puddles on my floor. 
I'm calling my landlord first thing in the morning.

I didn't post yesterday or the day before that because I was at the ER for 15, count 'em, 15 hours. My roomie wasn't feeling well, so I took her down there and stayed for the whole time. We got there at 1:30pm and left at 5:00am. And I missed 2 classes and a test. I have been wearing a hat the last couple days because of all the chaos.
I have just been washing my hair every other day and after detangling with my fingers putting a part down the center of my head and doing really loose twists and curling the ends. Most of the hair isn't dry in the morning, but I just put it in a high bun or a hat anyways. Since I have a lot more growth this month I am mainly focused on keeping it detangled. I have also been focusing on not messing with my scalp that much, because certain parts still hurt from the bantu knots that I did WAY too tightly. At least I know for next time.
whoa new icons!!!

@kinky+curly+fierce she's fine. she just had to get some tests done and a couple medications. I love the one where the smiley faces and running and leaping and happy. 
lol
@sheeTacular_napps: thanks!! she's fine now. I agree!!; Hats are totally a hairday saver. Thanks for your prayers and concern.
With my hair growing like a weed now (loving it) I am starting to see the real texture come out. It is REALLY strange. One part on the top of my head will be really tight like a pen spring, and another part will be loose about 3c and not curly but wavy. I can't wait until my hair really grows out and I can cut off the relaxed ends and see what it looks like.
this is my attempt at a bonnet, cause I don't got one.
hatting it!!!
My hair today ( a mess) but I have no patience or energy lately (PMS
)

I am trying another version of a twist-out by doing flat twists against my head, and then braiding the ends, because they won't stay if I do twists.
I also washed my hair with baking soda for the first time. I used 1 cup of warm water and about a 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking soda. Some places I searched said to add enough water to make it into a paste and then apply to the scalp and massage, but I didn't think that would be effective for all the thick hair I have on my head. I then conditioned with Aussie Moist and wanted to keep it on for longer than usual, so I shaved and did my whole face routine in the shower. So far so good. I won't know if there is any build-up until I take my hair out tomorrow or Wednesday morning. I have a project to present in Italian, so I am nervous and I hope my hair turns out well.
Look at all that growth! This Saturday I will be 4 months transitioning.
I am so pumped to henna again!
I'm like an addict. But I have to buy it first and I want to henna before I go home for Thanksgiving so my hair can be bangin' for all the fam.
So. . . . I got chocolate !!! (Heath bars!!!!) I have major PMS, so this is amazing. I can't find Nutella anywhere so I needed a fall back. Heath is my choco-bar of choice, Nutella is my spread of choice. Peanut butter? Naw Jam? puh-puh-puhlease Butter? Get outta here! Cream cheese? Not a chance! it's all about NUTELLA!!!

I like the result of my flat twist out.
I did the twists horribly on the right side, but the left side is good. I think I will pin it into a faux-hawk for my presentation. I still haven't even chosen a topic though. . . procrastination. . . . . . There's no time like the present though!
Oh yea the Mo'Nique show was AMAZING tonight. Sapphire author of the book "Push", Director Lee Daniels, and Actresses Paula Patton (pregnant with her hubby Robin Thicke's baby!) and Gabourey Sidibe from the movie "Precious" were there. I still can't wait to see the movie.

I slept all day today, so I won't be doing anything to my hair. I slept with my hair out on my scarf because I was tired, and I think I'll do that again tonight.

So my hair texture has been revealing itself more and more. It's completely different all over. I wish the texture all over my head was like the type 2 inches above my left ear. It's like a 3c,4a wavy texture and I love it. It's so easy to detangle and comb.
I have been neglecting my hair lately, so I wanted to get back into my as-normal-as-possible routine. I did a BnC with many many many many braids. It took longer, but I like the immediate outcome a lot.
the shine, oh the shine! I found my 3 favs that work perfectly with my hair! and it only took 2 1/2 months.
the little blue thing in the bottom is a curler. I made that braid too big and it didn't dry.

Twilight!
by pwatem on 21st November 2009, 4:14 am
I SAW TWILIGHT!!!!
sorry for the random side note, but I never liked the series, I just got a little hooked last Thanksgiving with the first one (That's when I got around to seeing it cause I was never really interested). Sooo. . . Taylor Lautenenerrrrr (can't spell worth a thang). I approved all the shirtlessness. I do, I do, I dooooooo.
And I don't feel guilty for being attracted to his fine 17 yr old tail cause I'm only freshly 19. HAAHAAAAHA.
I thought the movie was OK, but there was so much annoyingness (I know for a fact that's not a word) with the writing, acting, and characters, not to say any names *cough* BELLLLLLAAAAAAAA/EDWARDDDDDD/ EVERYONEEEEEE *cough*. It was corny, but cute in a way.
My main beef with the movie was that there was NO EPIC BATTLE SCENE BETWEEN WOLFBOYZZZZ AND VAMPIIYANESS. I mean I would have greatly appreciated at least an epic battle between Jacob and Edward and then in the final seconds Wolfboy's claw goes in the air towards Edward and then it cuts off. That's a cliffhanger that would make me want to see the next one (even though I prolly will any ways
)
I should write movies. . . . hmmm* that's a thought.
I wish I would have seen Precious too/instead.

me too!!! My Italian teacher told me that they use a certain type of oil in Europe that they don't use in the US that makes it much smoother and creamier. I came back from Italia with a gallon sized tub of Nutella (no lie). I wish they had stores over here completely devoted to Nutella like they do over there. I'm a choco-fiend.

I just bought henna for Tuesday/Wednesday but I accidentally has it sent to my parent's house. So I'll have to henna at home with like 10 people there. . . I wanted to do it right before I went home so I can let my PJ run wild at my beauty supply store in MD. And my mom wanted to see what the results look like.
I haven't straightened my hair in a while so I'm going to either late tonight or Tuesday, cause I want to see how much my hair has grown since I cut it.

I am doing a EVCO, EVOO, Sour Cream treatment. I applied the sour cream like I would a relaxer. I was going to henna, but like I said I accidentally sent it to my 'rent's house so I wanted to try something different, since I'm gonna henna anyways in case it doesn't work.
The only qualms I have with sour cream so far is the smell, and I applied it straight from the fridge so it was cold and my apartment is already 67 degree (waiting for Christmas to get a space heater). I'm going to keep it on for 1-2 hours and I'm going to straighten my hair after I wash it out. I would do a BnC, but I don't feel like waiting for it to dry and I want to have a hairstyle that I can guarantee will last for a week (I'm going home for Thanksgiving Wednesday to Sunday). My BnC and TnC are very selective when they want to last more than 2-3 days and I have 3 lil bros to wrestle with at home so. . .

Your hair looks great, liking the BnCs.
Perhaps put the henna on when you sleep at night. In order to prevent staining the sheets, wrap head with saran wrap, put on a plastic cap/bag and sleep on old towel over pillow.

@ChrsLvsBks I have to try using saran wrap. Last time I put a towel over my pill and had a shower cap on but still got some henna on my covers.
A new beauty shop opened about 2 blocks down from me. It's called Glitz and Glamour and I woulnd't have noticed it but it said they do henna, threading, weaves, etc. I'm hoping I can buy my henna from there so I don't have to pay shipping and handling. And I also hope they double as a beauty supply store. My PJ is very limited to Walmart, Target, and Krogers.
