I Will Wait For You with Subtitles

Every now and then I wonder...when is it going to be my time? I miss the days of having a regular phone call, a steady date, someone to snuggle with and someone to come home to discuss your day with .... you know..a man. 

Since dating MR. UNAVAILABLE, this video reminds me why I MUST wait patiently.. for HIM to arrive.

Sinful Saturdays: My Hurricane Preparedness

Freestyle Fridays: I have no excuse.......

It's been a minute since I posted. More like a month. And I don't have an excuse. Just being lazy... I guess. But since I've been gone, I fell in love with some products for my face, hair and body. Check them out....

For my face, I've been using Walmart's version of Cetaphil, followed by witch hazel on cotton rounds. The witch hazel is gentle on my skin and removes excess make-up and products that didn't wash off with the cleanser.  After I finish, I use Walgreen's Alpha Hydroxy face cream which is amazing.  For $7.99, I must admit that my face seems brighter. The Alpha Hydroxy removes a thin layer of skin which leaves a newer and clearer layer. I'm amazed. I follow that by Walgreen's Sun Screen SPF 55, which is light weight. It doesn't weigh down my skin. I love it and it's cheap.

Since I'm letting my hair grow out just a little bit, I had to find some products to help during this stage.  I love being natural, but I must admit, you have to find products for you hair type. I'm 4c (maybe 4b in some areas), so my hair is really coily. I found some products that work really well for my hair type & texture.  My everyday routine is as follows: mist hair with water, apply a small amount of Herbal Essence's Hello Hydration & Giovanni's leave in conditioner.  Let soak in. Then I seal with Shea butter. Let set.   I then apply IC Fantasisa Gel for color treated hair to palm using circular motions.  Believe it or not, the circulat motions form small curls.. See picture.

See curls pop-up (inside joke with co-worker).

And last, I diagnosed myself with having eczema on one finger. My middle finger to be exact.  It started to spread to index finger recently though.  It would be so inflamed and itchy at times and I needed something to calm it down. It tried cortisone, it helped...a little. But while reading articles on the internet, I knew I needed to try something with oatmeal.  I found a homemade oatmeal soap at Wegmans as well as St. Ives oatmeal and Shea butter. Guess what...no irritation or flares. Love it...

Good Night....Irene
