How I use my glycerin :)

If you were like me and bought glycerin and had aboslutely no idea what to do with it, this is for YOU!

Last night I was lazy and did not put a scarf on at all. Bad idea! Woke up this morning and my hair was a stiff, dry MESS! I had absolutely no idea how I was gonna get that mess in a bun before school, so I sprayed my already prepared glycerin mix and you couldn't even tell that I looked like some ratchet hoe when I got up this morning :)

**If you don't already know, glycerin is a humectant meaning that if draws in moisture from the air to your hair (Hehe, I made a rhyme #pow)! Perfect for the hot/warm weather, not so much cool/cold weather.**

Pros:
-Shine
-Ridonkulous softness! Especially for the NG and them kinky linkys :)
-Moisture
-Some slip when finger combing :)
-Very light on the hair

Cons:
-Oily on the hands

Recommended for EVERYONE when PROTECTIVE styling :)

What you'll need:
Glycerin
Your oil of choice (I use EVOO)
Water
Spray bottle

Mix your spray bottle with 1 part water, 1 part oil, and a couple of teaspoons of your oil. Shake it up. BAM! Ready to go. USE AS NEEDED :)

I personally spray this everyday root to tip!

***If you do NOT have vegetable glycerin, don't sweat it. I don't either. I use the one in the picture and it still works wonders. Purchased from Wal-Mart's pharmacy aisle with the Band Aids and junk.***

*The ORS Edge Control is in the picture bkuz when you're trying to hold your edges down, it helped me to spray my mix then apply my Edge Control
*This is replacing my normal M&S until winter!

Hello World :)

First blog post! Oh yeah baby! I'm going to start this off my introducing myself :)
My name is Alexandria. NOT Apple! Apple is a name my friend calls me and I kinda like it so it sticks. You may also call me AP or Alex (Hint: I like AP)
I'm 18 years old. I'm a sophmore in college. I'm hoping to transfer to Sam Houston State in Fall 2012.
Okay, now that the boring basic info that even I don't care to talk about, so moving on!
You're prolly saying, "Oh Alex, if you aren't going to talk about yourself then why do you have a blog?!" Uh well, because I'm on a HJ and I'd like to share my experiences with the world, or those that choose to read this thingy.
I've been on a HJ since May 2011. I'm currently 10 weeks and 2 days post. My hair is a little past APL and cut in layers. My current goal is BSL by December 2011 or January 2012. My long term goal is MBL.

What do I hope to gain from this blog???
A great experience! I'll start off blogging and posting pictures and then if people would like me to post videos and whatnot I'll do that also! I'll also be writing about my personal life so . . brace yourselves!

What can you expect from me???
An entertaining journey thats fa sho! To put it simply, I say what I wanna say, when I wanna say it, how I wanna say it. I would like to give those who read an amusing AND educational experience! "But Alex, thats impossible!" Then get off my blog, I don't have room for that loser talk! My first goal is to educate, then motivate.

On my blog you'll find:
-Product Reviews
-Progress Pics
-Hauls
-NO makeup (I don't wear makeup. IDK anything about it whatsoever so don't ask)
-Tags (if asked for)
-Tips
-Random rants

In conclusion: I love feedback, please feel free to voice whatever opinions you have. If you feel that I should do this or that, then let me know. Leave your comments! Thanks for reading and I can't wait to take this journey with all of you!
