Ok, so, I’m so excited!!!! My friend just joined the Naptural Revolution!!! Well, maybe revolution is the wrong term to use, I don’t want anyone to associate it with anything that can be conceived as negative…Anyway, Marbles (cute nickname;} huh?) got her BC a few days ago, and she is also in the Navy. When I sent her pictures of my BC she told me she was thinking about doing it, and that she might go ahead and do it over deployment. So imagine my delightful surprise when I received a picture mail of her (and my lovely neice) with a cute curly TWA!!! Inside I was jumping up and down…. BZ Marbles!! BZ!!! We share the feeling that getting the big chop and setting our hair free is so liberating! It was like a weight had been lifted….ahhhh. Ok, enough typing, I’m at work and supposed to be working… Hollerer at you guys later. Peace and blessings, with much love always...HHG!!!

SunShyne Spritzer
Hello, Hello!!!
Ok, so I got this idea to use a rose water and vegetable glycerin mix as a leave in conditioner/refresher spritzer. So, as I was doing my research on some things that might help my hair grow I came across rosemary and peppermint. They have some properties that stimulate the blood flow to the scalp. Well, as I mentioned before I have some scalp issues, and I went to the dermotologist and was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. It's like a rash that causes extra dry, itchy and sore skin. She gave me some oil i'm supposed to apply every other day overnight, then wash out. I don't know how long I'm supposed to do this before I see results, but my scalp is still itchy and sore after using it for about a month. So, getting back to my conditioner/spritzer.... I went to a natural food store and got some rose buds, cloves (they have mild anaesthetic and anti-bacterial properties), peppermint, rosemary, and vegetable glycerine. I also got this little tea leaf strainer. I took a little of all the herbs and rosebuds and put them in the strainer. Boiled some water and steeped the ingredients in a bowl for about an hour. After that I strained the mix and poured the liquid into a spray bottle and added the glycerine. I shook the bottle to mix everything all together and sprayed it into my hair. The only problem with this stuff is that it is brown (because of the cloves) so you gotta be careful not to get it on your clothes. But let me tell you, my hair is so SOFT!!!! I sprayed it twice in 2 days, and this is like the third or fourth day.... still soft, can't keep my hands out of my hair.... I don't know what is making my hair this soft, but I like it, and I hope it keeps working. Also, my scalp feels great, it doesn't hurt and it's not itchy. After I spritzed my hair and finger combed it through, my scalp felt all cool, (because of the peppermint maybe?) it was great! Loving this stuff and it smells Amazing...I have dubbed it SunShyne Spritzer....another bonus, my hair has a nice sheen/shine to it. Well, anyway, that's what I wanted to share. I will be sure to keep you posted on how my hair responds to it. Thanks for reading. Peace and blessings, with much love always...HHG.
