Natural Hair - Product Review!

Hey, everyone! I decided that this blog will be about my natural hair as well, so here is my first post about it!

Product: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration

Here are a few pictures of my hair the way it looks after I've only used Hello Hydration and my Shealoe butter (1/2 100% raw unrefined shea butter + 1/2 100% aloe vera juice):







The pictures aren't that great because I just took them 5 seconds ago...and I'm tired. BUT if you can't see that well, my curl pattern is really defined (more than usual anyways) and I like it!

Weight

OK! So, I currently have lap band. I got it because my weight was causing problems with my health, and I had an ultimatum: die soon or get weight loss surgery. Obviously I got lap band. It's been ok, but right now I'm talking to my surgeon about getting a revision to VSG (vertical sleeve gastroectomy). I think it'll work a LOT better than lap band did in helping me lose weight as well as keeping my health symptoms low or nonexistent. If you guys have any questions, definitely ask or just stay updated with my posts. I'll be keeping this blog updated with WLS stuff as well as health stuff.

Discovery!

I find out that I'm an emotional eater. Really unfair things have been going on at work - I should be promoted, but I'm "too good" at my current job and they "can't bear to lose the revenue I'm raising". What the fuck. Well anyway, when I heard about that AGAIN - for the THIRD TIME - I was sooooo angry. I really just wanted to break my diet and eat something. That's how I know I'm an emotional eater. It's a really eff-ed up way to find out, but at least I know now. Anyway, I just wanted to rant about that.

High Raw Corn Salsa

Hey, everyone! Just made an amazing high raw corn salsa!! Here are some pictures:


I didn't know how it would turn out, but I just tasted it with some baked tortilla chips, and I love it. I know that the tortilla chips aren't raw, but I'm currently in college and I don't have enough money for a dehydrator at the moment :( So I AM on my way to raw, but not fully yet. ALSO, last time I went raw, I really got down on myself for not being fully raw and I left the lifestyle altogether, so at the moment, I'm doing what works for me, and I'm ok with that! :D

Decision Time!

Ok, I'm officially going raw vegan, but it won't be too bad. I'm giving myself some leeway and I'm going to be just vegan high raw. That means that I'll be vegan, but not everything I eat has to be raw. BUT I'll make a concious effort to eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies each day.

I'm excited! :D
