July 4th.... Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!
Today I went to my grandparents grave. I have been there once since they went to Heaven. That was so hard. My grandma and grandpa were great people and great role models. I know these tears are not only because I miss them. But also because I know they are in Heaven with the KING.
Thank you Jesus for my grandparents. I know you gave them to me for a reason. Happy Birthday Grandpa. Forth of July will NEVER be the same.

Red Wine....
So I'm in my server training at Carrabbas today, and I had to try red wine. I am not a wine drinker as it is, so tasting red wine had me gone for a minute or two. Of the for wines that I tasted, I really liked the J.Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet. It had a woody taste to it, but it was pretty good. If I'm out with my "adult friends", I would totally order it.
This cabernet would go really good with steak or chocolate. Like I said it was a very woody flavor and was very dry. The after taste was kinda like an oaky sweet tart. I really liked it though.
Anywho, this is my wine journey... Off to my food show!!!
Natural Hair Crack Recipe!!!
Anywho, like I said I call it Hair Crack, because my hair JUST CANT GET ENOUGH!!! It also keeps alot of the bounce and if you put it on your afro, it helps define your curl pattern.
When I am making this, I putting it strait into the container that I plan to use if from. Right now, I am using a bath and body foam dipenser, but you can put it in a plain squirt bottle.
1oz of your favorite conditioner
2oz jojoba oil
2 table spoons olive oil
3-4oz pure aloe vera
MIX all these ingredients in your bottle by shaking fast until it is all mixed together. One it is all mixed, add water to the rest of the bottle. I used tap water for this batch, but I usually use water that has been filtered or bottled water!
SHAKE WELL before EVERY use! and ENJOY!!!
YOU DO NOT NEED ALOT OF THIS!!! When styling my hair, I drown it, but when putting this on my fro, I put a little in my hand and massage through!
