Master Cleanse for the '08

So I'm on day 2. This is my fourth go at doing the master cleanse, as I like doing this a few times a year.

If anything, the cleanse is 70% mental and 30% physical. My last go around I was like "I need to lose weight!" but wasn't ready, and within two or three days I was weak and ready to get a grilled chicken ceasar salad from Mcdonald's. Defeat did taste good, however, the after effects were eh.

But I'm ready and willing to stick it out for ten days.

Even if a coworker just walked in my office with some ghetto fried chicken from the Chinese restaurant, which smells good and nasty at the same time (and I wanted to hurl my bottle of lysol at his head), I know I can do this.

Dear Long Lovely Locks...you suck!!!!

Okay, I didn't want to post this on Nappturality out of respect for Momma Dee and her site, but I'm seriously about to spew.

So I ordered some of the Long Lovely Locks products from a third party vendor, cause word on the street is that Kechi has some serious sucky customer service. But when I got an email today about the prices of her products going up, I was like wait, you can't be serious!

So I went to the site to inspectigate, and lo and behold this chick surely has gone up on the prices! And not $5 or so, but the curly custard which is 11 ounces and $20 has gone up to a whopping $43! Chick you must be crazy!!! For some emulsified oil and shea butter, heffa PUHLEASE!!!!!!!! I can go down the Muslims in Brooklyn and buy my own calabash of shea butter and get a gang of oils and scents while I'm there! AND buy my own damn emulsifying wax from a friend for less than $5!!! And then don't get me started on the itty bitty 5 ounce bottles of aloe vera and oil concoction. Bad enough it was $12, but now it's like $20 or $23, something like that. Riiiiiight.

So, I'm going to try my little stash of stuff. If I do like it that much, oh well, cause I sure as hell refuse to buy stuff from that site, cause, to reiterate, I heard you get your money taken and no product delivered.

Thank goodness for STELLER customer service from Qhemet Biologics, Oyin Handmade and Anita Grant.
