Black Friday Get this Not That- Part 1

Hello
Here is my Black Friday must buy list so far.




Some of these older posts are from my relaxed days but I have used them on my natural hair and I still love them, which is why they remain on my Black Friday list.

Darcy's Botanicals

• Deep conditioning mask (here is the link to my old review on this favorite of mine - click here) 
• Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing Conditioner  my old review can be found here so fast forward to the 5:28 mark. click here and it continues into part two video which continues my review - click here  ) This was back in the day when the videos had to end around the 10 minute mark..hence the two parts.
• Daily Cleansing Conditioner Cream - for my old review start off at the 6:47 mark click here 

My Honey Child

• Honey Hair Mask and here is my old review of it. start at the 7:12 mark click here 
• Molasses Hydrating Deep Conditioner  here is my old review click here 

I have never used the following products, but I am interested in trying them from My Honey Child:

• Systematic Deep Conditioner 
• Virgin Hair Girl Conditioner 
• Virgin Girl Hair Poo
• Organic Shea Butter Scalp Cleanser ( I may have used this in the past)

She Scent It ( I may or may not make the following purchases)

• Juicy Berry Buttercream frosting ( I have never used this, it's new and looks DELICIOUS)
• Banana Brulee Moisturizing Conditioner  (I've used this in the last and I enjoy this product)
• Macadamia Fixing Gel (I've never tried this)
• Coconut Sorbet (This is new as well)

Soultanicals ( I discussed this in part 1 of my BF get this not that video shown above)

Hairveda

• Ph Balancing Rinse 

Miss Jessies

• Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo ( they used to have a bogo sale but now on the site I see a 40% off message on the site, let's see if that changes by BF)

Earth's Nectar

I am new to this brand but so far I am interested in this item -coconut curls.

I may want to check out Lime Crime cosmetics and Melt Cosmetics.

There are other items on my list, but they are not confirmed in my mind, so we shall see what happens with that. So my list this year looks like it will be pretty boring since I am mainly restocking, but you never know what will happen come BF.
In one of my other BF videos you will see a makeup item that I will definitely purchase.....stay tuned.
What are you picking up for BF....do tell :-)
Thanks for watching and reading.

I know you from....

Hello All

I saw a woman in a store and I knew she looked familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen her. Had we met through a mutual friend? Was she an old school mate? Where did this woman make an appearance in my life? And then it hit me, "I knew her from Instagram." I struggled with what I should do with my new found information. Should I approach her, introduce myself and thank her for following me, or would that just be too weird. Perhaps I was wrong, maybe she only resembled the woman on Instagram. What added to my apprehension in approaching her is that I recognized her while she was at her place of employment, a place never mentioned in any of her posts. I didn't want her to feel as if I was invading a part of her life which she had not made public. So there I stood, motionless, as I grappled with how to address this situation.
Social networking is so often used as a tool to bring people together to share information, but it's also a means of escape for others. Some use social networking sites like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook merely to vent, seek encouragement or catch a glimpse into the lives of others. Despite our varied uses of social networking platforms, I think many of us can agree that social networking has in some ways altered interactions between humans. In years past had I come across someone who seemed familiar it's likely that I would have asked that person a direct question, hoping they remembered me too.
In the end,  I didn't say hello to her and I believe my opportunity was missed, because I haven't seen her since. Have you every introduced yourself to someone you only knew online? Do tell :-)
P.S. If you see me, do say hello, unless I look a mess then please wash that image out of your head and continue to watch my Youtube videos.....lol. Kidding....kind of.
