Lemons please & Other News

I enjoy the scent of a lemons as long as I dont have a heavy scent of citurs tagging along. In essence I don't mind smelling like a lemon but I can do without smelling like the skin of a lemon. HPO Spa Treatment created the perfect soap for me, because it is a delighfully delicious lemon scented bar soap. Over the summer I confessed that I prefer liquid body washes over bar soap, but this little baby just may change my mind. Firstly, I could not stop sniffing the $7.00 Lemon Body bar which cleansed my skin without making it feel like rubber. The soap is infused with shea butter, honey, coconut oil, palm oil and castor oil and I really like this soap.
Hair News
My last touch up was at the very end of August and I am going to stretch my relaxer until the end of December.....I think..lol. Let's see if I make it that long.
I have added a few co washes to the mix to keep my new growth extra soft.
I was asked to post my hair regimen so here is my very simple weekly process.
I will wash my hair at least once a week (no less than once a week). I do alternate between various hair products but they are all sulfate and paraben free so I don't feel guilty about bouncing between brands.
Now that I am trying to stretch until December I am co washing at least once a week,( some weeks I co wash twice in the week). I co wash with the conditioner of my choice I usually make that determination based on what I want my hair to smell like. I will also moisturize my hair daily. Currently I am using My Honey Child products to moisturize my hair (I alternate my moisturizing routine between the aloe leave in, coconut milk and honey love - I didn't post on the last two yet).
I try to make sure that I am not washing my hair consistently with a protein conditioner so I try to alternate with moisturizing products.
If you need any more hair info please let me know.

Welcome back diva!!! Hahaha ok so omg! My last touch-up was in August too (in the beginning of the month) and I 2 also plan on getting my next relaxer in Dec. probably in the beginning or middle of month, maybe even longer if I can manage it. I used to always stretch my relaxers every 4 to 5 months & my hair was doing great, better than ever actually. I can't get relaxers every month or every 6 or 8 wks like sum girls do, thats way 2 soon 4 my hair. I already planned/wrote down my whole hair regiemn schd. for next yr where I plan on getting relaxers only twice to 3x a year. My hair regiemn is similar to urs, I always wash my hair once a wk and days i don't wash I moisturize w/ leave in condish & creams (even some reg condish like AO 1s) & I am so using Myhoney child hair products. I changed my mind about the conconut milk, I actually love it now lol, a little goes a long way 4 me, i use it as my selant bc its not 2 heavy or greasey 4 me. So yea, I'd buy it again although this 1 will last me a long time. Most of the products I'm using are pretty safe as well.

PBW Glad you like her site :-)
Lauren thanks. Look at you, you have written down your hair schedule..I see someone is really focused..lol WOW a relaxer 2x or 3x a year sounds great, I wonder if I could ever stretch that way...maybe I will give it a try. I have to check one of the bottles I didn't open yet but I dont think I have the sweet almond product...gotta check that out..lol It sounds like the coconut milk is very similar because it is not greasy at all either.
Just me..glad I could help either directly or indirectly..lol I hope you like the new site too. SHe also has some very nice youtube videos. Oh and you are into fashion and she is a celebrity stylist so that may appeal to you as well.
Thanks for reading everyone.
