Random updates

Random old Shayna pic with my hair in a twist out

Hey there lovelies~

I feel like I really need to write a post, but I'm not sold on what to write about.  Therefore, you get random Shayna updates.....

1. The Blue Magic:  So, I have not been using Blue Magic lately.  I didn't stop using necessarily because I didn't like it, but instead because I found Shea Butter.  Although I must say I didn't like the consistency of the Blue Magic I bought.  I felt like it was too thick and greasy.  So, I can't write a fair review on Blue Magic because I didn't give it enough of a chance, but if anyone who does consistently use it would like a review please do. 
2. Shea Butter in Florence:  I found raw Shea Butter at a local Beauty Supply Shop (hooray).  I will probably only go to this place if I'm in a jam.  The shea butter was $3.99 for 10oz.  Now this price certainly isn't horrible, but I can go to the flea market in Lexington and get 16oz. for $8 (with a little negotiating).  Or I can order online at Bars n Butters and get 1 pound (about 24oz) for $8.00 (plus S&H, I hate S&H by the way).  So for now I'm using up my 10oz (fast), and I'll probably order some from Bars N Butters for my next Shea Butter needs.
3. My face has become disastrous:  Idk why, but for some reason my face is rebelling against Florence.  Now don't get me wrong.  I'm no stranger to acne, but my face hasn't been this bad in a long time, maybe ever.  Anyhoo, I just started using ProActiv (I feel like I just went back to college) again until I find something better.  ProActiv will probably work, but it stings my face, stinks, dries my skin out and I want something natural.  If anyone has suggestions for good natural face products for combination skin (mostly oily) let me know.
4. The dating scene: Not happening for now...next topic.
5. My hair:  I had mini twists in for the past two weeks (three if you count the week I spent twisting).  The result of my mini twists was the realization that I'm not meant for mini twists.  I like having them, they're cute and convenient, but I always miss my hair.  So, now I'm back to my twist outs.  I just took the twists out Friday so I don't have much to report on my hair for now.
6. Blog world:  I've been a bit MIA with my posting, but I'm going to work very hard to write at least two posts a week this month (happy April by the way).  I've added some new blogs (two in my blog list, closet of a thriftonista and Naptural85's blog) to my reading list.  I met a girl here in Florence, Amy, who is pretty cool and I read her blog (pround patriot 07) and a blog I found through Amy's blog (A complete waste of makeup).  This last blog I just found today, but I liked this chick.  I feel inspired to go out and have fun reading her blog.  I haven't read CurlyNiki's blog in a while, but am quite obsessed with Naptural85's YouTube channel and blog.
7. Where oh where is Mop Top Maven?:  So, apparently MTM is a crook and con artist, but I still have her blog on my website because she gave good info and advice on it.  MTM hasn't posted in over a year, but I still often go to her blog for info. 
8. Life in general: Generally speaking life is great!  No big complaints here.  Although I did get a speeding ticket recently :-( but the ticket wasn't expensive and I was accidentally speeding (the speed limit had just changed from 55 to 45...oh speed traps). 

Well, I think that's all.  I guess I should feel pathetic considering I just summed my life updates up in 8 bullet points, but I'm quite happy with life, so so be it.  By the way, I was feeling inspired today so check out my revamped "about me" and "hair routine" blog pages.  Also check out my new 30 before 30 page.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend and has a fabulous upcoming week!!  Leave comments......let me know about your updates.....

Tootles for now
