Bentonite clay for face

So I was browsing pinterest (my current obsession) and someone pinned something about bentonite clay to clean pores and the oil cleansing method instead of commercial cleansers.
Anyway, so I went to the local health food store so that I could mix up both.

So I washed with Neutrogena Naturals first.

Then I mixed the bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar. This is what it looked like:

Not too thick and not too runny. Then I smeared it on my face a couple layers thick...

Cute right!! Lol! Anyway, I left it on about 15 minutes and the mask got hard and my face started to pulsate, very weird!!!
I cleaned it off with a washcloth and warm water.

I know you can't tell but my face felt great!! I used witchhazel as a toner and applied my Kiss My Face peaches and cream moisturizer.

Review of the oil cleansing method coming soon!!

Styles with straight hair

Here are some of the styles I did when my hair was straightened:

It was cool while it lasted, but......I was so ready to have my curls back!!

Smooches

BuSy bUsY MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

My goodness, this month is almost gone and I have yet to post any posts of the styles I did when my hair was straight or update my regimen for the upcoming winter months (since I have a lot more that a TWA).

Keep me in your prayers and maybe this crazy life of mine will slow down!

Straight hair

I straightened my hair today, so I could clip my ends and I must say that I like the curls so much better!!! My hair has grown a lot in 15 months considering I bc'd with less than an inch of hair!

I also could not do this often: it was hot, and a seriously tedious process! I do not have that kind of time anymore!!
Well, I'm out!

*fingers crossed for no heat damage!!

Twistout results/ product suggestion

I tried the Organic Root Stimulator Hair Pudding for girls. Youtuber allthatsgold, said she loves the product for wash n go's and twistouts. This past week when I was on vacation, I wore a faux bun and....went swimming and desperately needed to wash my hair. Unfortunately I left all products at home, so I hit walgreens to get the things I needed! I made sure to pick up the hair pudding.
It worked wonders on my wng and left my hair moisturized and not crunchy!
Yesterday I did a twistout and the results were the best ever!!!
I'll let u see for yourself:

Protective style updo

My family is going on a vacation on Monday, so I decided put my hair up so I don't have to mess with while we r out of town.

The style was inspired by msvcharles on YouTube.

She walks you through step by step of how to achieve this style.
Here's my take on it:

So that's it! I hope to have a wonderful time next week in San Antonio with the fam!!

Later Gators

Another blowout

I know I have MIA, but as an educator, I max and relax in the summer!!
Anyway, I have been rockin wash and go's and my hair desperately needed to be washed and detangled.
I then decided to blow it out and was surprised at the amour of growth I have.

So I have only blown my hair out 3 times...

I am really excited that I am retaining length!!
I didn't have time to twist my hair for a dry twistout because we have dinner plans....so I just did 2 flat twists with a bun in the back!
