Oooh fizzle that sounds luscious!
lacey, how is your hair now hun??
thouart_that, how's the skin on your back going?
Its straight girl, just been usin madd amounts of that Blue Magic
and let it get real greazy I guess....Didnt wash it for maybe a week or so. Sounds nazzty but I really needed to let some natural oils get back in place, u know?
Anyways, I had tried one or 2 more times after i wrote that post and shit didnt work, thats when I decided just not to wash it til i could figure out somethin.
But when i finally washed it that day, real gentle like, shit seemed aight. I kinda like, wats the word....Apprehensively put the conditioner on , crossed my fingers, and let it set a while...When I rinsed it out, shit felt pretty good. i decided not to try and comb or brush it at all. Even tho when my hair was not knotty, i would always run a pick thru it real easy and lightly when i was lettin the conditioner set in. To help distribute it thru the hair evenly, and becuz I like to wear my hair with my natural curl/wave in it, and the best way to do that w/out havin to do any work, is to just leave it wet right out the shower, and put some products in that will make it soft shiney and hold the wave til it dries like that, and brushin it once its dry takes away the look that I like. so i got to make sure it aint all knotty and all that, when Im still in the shower, becuz brushin it anytime after I get out the shower, or after it dries, will take away the style and make me have to actually do shit to it, to get it the way I want it again.
So anyways, I didnt do the pick this time just let it be , when I got out I brushed the top part of my scalp enough to put it up in a pony tail, and when I got that top part all combed out nice, i put the hair ties around it and went to work from the bottom ends of my hair up to the top where the ponytail holder was worked it with the pick and got out any knots, which there really wasnt any anyways, somehow , praise god haha. So then later on you know, next time I went to take a shower I went and brush thru it again, and it was all good, no knots other than the regular ones you might get on the daily thru your normal activities n'all that.
So, its pretty much all copastetic now, I just notice that I got to make sure that after when Im rinsing my conditioner out, the least time I rinse it for the better. Like as soon as I get the product and all the residue out, I take it out from the stream of water real quick and wrap it up in a loose bun or w/ever cuz it seems like the longer I let the water run, the more it gets prone to gettin tangled. IDK why, just I get that feeling, the cuticle gets rougher (And it aint just that there was residue, and the roughness Im feeling is the actually clean hair, I know how to rinse the right way, shit I got a little farther than shampooing before I got kicked outta beauty school
)
Anyways thats my update, blue magic is the shit tho, I use it all over my body.
Now, related to that, I got some
Face Skin Care Tips..
(blue magic WITH COCONUT OIL--not the blue or green kind that dont have the coconut and vitamin shit in it.)
On my face i use it, becuz its mostly vaseline base with the coconutoil and vitamin e, etc added. Interesting info tho-- It been found that petroleum jelly (Vaseline) when applied to skin in hairless mice, actually plumped up the collagen cells in their skin. Like it didnt just make the skin appear softer or feel softer so it looked less wrinkley/watever, it actually penetrated thru the skin and made the cells appear more plump, givin the appearance of tighter skin and less wrinkles, and matter fact i tried it myself and gave some to my mama to try too and we both noticed a big difference.
You might think oh Vaseline, that shit aint non-comodegenic, thats gonna clog the hell outta my pores, etc etc, but honestly it works great for me and dont cause no breaking out or w/ever. I only do it at night, after I cleaned my face with a gentle cleanser. I let my face get all steamed up , the pores open and all that, and then cleanse it with clean hands and dry with a clean towel so there can be as little bacteria as possible on my skin surface, bcuz i dont want to trap none of that shit under the layer of vaseline.
Before i put that on tho, I use my normal moisturizer (oil of olay) and let that sink in for a little, then right before i hang it up for the night I do a thin layer of Blue Magic massaged into my face, and when I wake up my skin is always glowing, soft but not greasy, and most of all it looks VERY fresh, young, and the surface in general is all around very filled out and smoothed. ESp. on my mom, who looks GREAT for her age, hardly any wrinkles at all and shes 51, but I notice that FINE lines almost totally disappear after some devoted use of this ish everynight. Like, even a week later I could see a noticable difference. Shes thrilled too, cuz she always messin around with trying these anti aging things n'all that, so to find one so damn cheap and effective is great news for her.
I would seriously recommend that any of yall try it. I guess if u got greasy or oily skin or you got some serious breakout problems dont, but if you got normal or dry skin give it a shot. Its winter now, so IDK if ima want to do that in summer when its all hot, but the dry winter air takes somethin outta my skin for sure and this puts it back. talked to a dermatoligist about it, and he was like eeehhhh iunno about that, not a great idea, but I still break out pretty easy at my age and noticed that when I use the blue magic i break out less actually. IDK, its like some miracle lotion to me. I am sure that the coconut oil and vitamin E in it are also really helping out too, I cant forget that part, but this ish is really great.
Matter fact, a few months ago I met a older lady and she looked AMAZING when i realized her age. I figured she was mid 50's or so, this woman was 75 years old. I was like hell na. Now, She was black, and you know wat they say "Good black dont crack" and in general, a lot of darker skinned women tend to age better than pale, caucasian women for sure. Italian/sicilian, mediterranean, hispanic, etc women, and Asian women as well, all in general (of course there is exceptions, chill out anybody whose offended) seem to age better than the very pale, fair skinned Celtic/Anglo/Germanic women do, but thats another discussion, I was just pointing out that this was not just her looking great becuz of her genetics that may of pre dispose her towards aging well. she looked way better than she should have at that age Period, white black or wat ever.
When I talked to her she said her "secret" was that she does facial exercises everyday, (i will post the name of the book she lended me, and some of the exercises if yall want me to, just say somethin and Ill scan that shit for yall !) and everynight puts Vaseline on her face, and that was all she been doin all her 75 years to keep her face lookin right. And when i say lookin right, I mean, she had some wrinkles sure, the naso labial folds (the lines on either side of ur mouth going from ur nostril to either side of ur lips) and all the "Main" wrinkles like the folds under the eyes from laugh lines, but as far as any of the finer, smaller wrinkles go, that shit just was not there. Her skin was very tight, but not in a fake, nasty way, i mean it was just skin that had clearly been VERY well cared for over the years. you could tell 100% that this was not some kind of surgery or botox thing, she was extremely natural, there WAS wrinkles, in the right places, but the amount of wrinkles she DIDNT have for bein almost 80, was wat amazed me. I mean, if she had been 55 I woulda been like damn you look great for 55. but she was 20 years older, you know? really musta took great care of her health, and hit the genetic jackpot on top. Im just sayin tho, theres one more person who preaches the glory of Vaseline on the face, all Im sayin.
More Blue Magic/Vaseline Tips:
I also put it on my lips, and it always keeps them nice and hydrated way better than some beat-ass chapstick, lip balm, or anything else ive ever tried, and even better than regular vaseline would.
Vaseline/Cocobutter Sandwich for Super Soft Feet
I also put it on my feet at night too, cuz no matter how much I fuck wit the Ped Egg, my feet is still always mad hard on the bottom. I got some leather soles down there, I guess cuz of all the time as a kid i spent not wearin shoes and runnin around bare foot (pretty much from may-mid september, if possible for 100% of the day) and its like 10 years later it still sticks around IDK. So, anyways if i dont tend to em, in the winter my feet soles get to feelin kind of raggedy so I do this thing I learned from reading about wat hand and Foot Models do, to keep theirs picture perfect.
I get cotton socks, roll them up into little 'donuts" so they look like a rolled up condom or somethin lol. so that i can roll it right over my foot.
Then I get a foot lotion that absorbs quick, and extra hydrating, and rub that ish all over my feet, really slopp it on there and make sure its absorbing good.
Then i take a nice glob of Blue Magic and apply that to my foot especiall to the heel and sides of the heel, but makin sure its a thick enough layer not just a thin film. get my foot all covered with that, double thick on the bottom sole side.
Then, ontop of that, a nice layer of Coco Butter to top it off. you dont really rub it in too muc, just slather it on , ontop of the blue magic (use vaseline if u want, it dont matter in this case i just got a bigass tub of the blue magic so i use that) so that ur kinda like sealing it all in nice.
then u take the socks and gently un-roll them over your feet, so that you aint pulling them on and moving the lotion around. When you got em pre rolled like that, you can just slowly roll them up over your foot without moving any of the lotions you got on there and messing up the even-ness of how u put it.
In the mornin your feet will be smooth as shit. Unless they like mine, and in that case they will be less hard as before, but still needing a long way to go til they those real soft little dainty feet. But trust, it does a real good job regardless of your feet condition, it will do its job for anybody and just repeat it everynight for a while youll start to see them things shape up real quick, esp if u combine it with daily ped-egg'ing.
Hope some of yall ladies can use that tip, if u try it let me know wat u think, I know I make sure I always got a nice pedicure and all that, keep my feet correct and never nasty lookin, so i got to keep them as soft an nice as i can, im sure i aint the only one so for sure holla back tell me how that worked for you!
Once again, a insanely, stupid-long post from Lacey K! Hope yall enjoy my suggestions, as always they are 100% tested and approved by me not just hear say I am repeating, i will alwways come correct with the best that I got to offer all my ladies who will bother to read thru my beauty care novels, you know i got yall back!
check u girls next time, im outa here for now....Gonna go lotion up my feet
