Thanks! I love the water. Yes, the water was so clear. It was as if I was in a bathtub .

I tried the look in Alicia Key's Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart video. It was okay for a first try. I definitely know what I will do differently next time. You can check it out here.

My hair is acting up. The top grows crazy fast and the sides grow crazy slow. I may have to give up WnGs for a while and do twists and braids then let them out until I get the courage to cut/trim again. Hair is looking uneven. To make matters worse, I think I need to up the amount of products I use. My regular amount of leave in and styling products are not giving me the same results.

Plan this week is to twist in medium twists. I may try bholmes technique of going from medium to small to smaller twists.

Make it a great week my curly divas !

1. Applied castor oil to scalp from forehead to nape then from ear to ear to ensure good coverage.
   
2. Massaged oil in for a few minutes starting at the back then working my way forward in a slow motion then again a little faster.
   
   
3. Applied two handfuls of EVOO to each half of my soaking wet hair.
   
4. Cleansed scalp and hair with shikakai soap in four sections.
   
5. Rinsed each section separately and applied Joico K-Pack Moisture Intense Hydrator (an egg size to each section) and a teaspoon of Manuka honey. Honey was microwaved for a few seconds before I started process so it was beginning to solidify.
   
   
6. Rinsed in warm water then rinsed in cold fenugreek tea (mix is four tea bags to two cups of water).
   
7. Applied about two quarter sizes of KBB's hair cream (coco mango scent ) to each soaking wet section. I applied more to my drier areas (above my ears). NOTE: The cream is hard to emulsify when hands are wet.
   
8. Followed with Afroveda's Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter. I put in more than I think my hair needed--about a half handful to four section.
   
9. Braided hair in two Pocohantas braids.
   
10. Covered with satin bonnet when I went to sleep.
    

This morning, my hair was still pretty damp. I undid braids and styled hair to cover part.

These are pictures from Sunday (taken with BB).[/url]

Here are pictures today (again sorry for BB photo quality).

Thanks jc! I have lost a total of 12 pounds since joining SparkPeople (January 27) and 14 pounds since January 11. I cannot wait to find out how many inches I have lost. I definitely saw a difference today in my arms and thighs .
