			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been diligently working on my haircare line in my spare time coming up with all kinds of formulation ideas for the starting product line. I&#8217;ve already decided on what products I&#8217;m going to open the shop with and what products will come in the following months. To start off I will have a shampoo, leave-in conditioner, styler (creamy hair butter), moisturizer, and hair gloss. I will then introduce a deep conditioner, a natural hair gel, and a summertime moisturizer a few months after the line is launched. My set goal month for the grand opening is March 2011. I&#8217;m really excited because it&#8217;s finally going to happen.</p>
<p>I already have the summertime moisturizer, hair gloss, styler, and leave-in conditioner formulated. Although I want to make a small change to my leave-in, it&#8217;s just about perfect. My hair was so soft and moisturized when I used it. I already love my hair butter, which my mom also loves and she&#8217;s a big fan of the hair gloss too! I want to add a bit more glycerin to my summertime moisturizer. I just don&#8217;t want it to be sticky which too much glycerin will do&#8230;YUCK. It&#8217;s an ok moisturizer, but needs a bit more humecant to get it working real good.</p>
<p>I also redesigned the store two times and I finally like my site design(<a href="http://www.ambrosiahair.com">www.ambrosiahair.com</a>). It took me a few days to get the design perfected, but it was all worth it. I really wanted to go for that soft, feminine, gentle, but fresh look . I believe I finally captured that look and feel with my current site design.</p>
<p>I was thinking about adding a blog to my store, but I may not. I created one as a subdomain (<a href="http://www.blog.ambrosiahair.com">www.blog.ambrosiahair.com</a>), but I may delete it because it won&#8217;t have nothing, but store updates; like ideas I have for products, things I&#8217;m doing to improve my business, etc. I could always use my personal blog for things of that nature. I really feel it&#8217;s pointless to have that blog as a way of marketing either, because I plan on using <a href="http://www.growblackhair.net">www.growblackhair.net</a> for that purpose since that site gets 13,000+ visitors already. I will just link my shop to my site and write reviews and/or do video demonstrations of the products.</p>
<p>Goals for the next 3 months:</p>
<p><strong>Current Month:</strong> Perfect leave-in conditioner formulation</p>
<p><strong>October:</strong> Apply for Limited License Company with State, Formulate shampoo</p>
<p><strong>November:</strong> Formulate lotion moisturizer</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so excited about my line and I can&#8217;t wait to share it with the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been so busy. It seems like my hair website has become a full-time job and I&#8217;ve been working overtime in addition to my 40 hours a week! If I&#8217;m not doing that I&#8217;m on Craiglist looking for decent furniture or pricing nursery furniture and caring for the boys. I don&#8217;t even f ind time to update my blog anymore. I am so determined to make <a href="http://www.growblackhair.net">Growblackhair.NET</a> a success as well as my haircare line that I will be launching soon. There have been times where I stayed up well after 5am, researching ingredients, prices, etc. Right now it&#8217;s after 4am. I was up again researching the prices of the ingredients I want to use, the costs of the packaging supplies, and other steps needed to take to make sure my grand opening runs smoothly.</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t want to forget anything, but this child I&#8217;m carrying  makes me so forgetful at times, in addition to making my face breakout constantly. None of my boys ever did this! Speaking of my baby, we&#8217;ve come up with baby names! I&#8217;m not sharing them online just yet, but I am really happy with the female name I picked. It just came to me out of no where because for the life of me I couldn&#8217;t come up with not one idea. If this is a girl I don&#8217;t want the name to be common. Also I&#8217;ve run out of ideas for a boy seeing that I already have 3 so I left that up to Brian.</p>
<p>Anyways, back to my haircare line&#8230; I plan on launching my store in either July or September. Maybe I should wait until September when the baby is already born, but we will see. I just don&#8217;t want to launch it in July and when August comes, people&#8217;s orders are delayed due to me going into labor, staying at the hospital, and recovering from the birth. I may just wait until my birthday to launch the site now that I think about it because  I don&#8217;t know how successful the grand opening will be. I may sell all my inventory or I  may not sell a thing. I&#8217;ll just have to cross my fingers and pray on it. I&#8217;ve already figured out my starting capital for an inventory of about 30 items per product to start out. If I wait until September to launch I will have 90% of the starting capital just from my Google revenue alone if I continue to earn the consistent amounts I&#8217;ve been earning. That is why I always prewrite my articles to keep my site constantly updated. I plan on writing about a months worth of prewritten articles in August to cover me until October because of the baby and my hair product site. I just have to come up with some good ideas because I never write useless garbage on my site. I save that for my personal blog lol  <img src="http://www.eternally-me.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-smiley-switcher/noktahhitam/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />  .  Anyways enough of my rambling, I have an article idea and I must write it before I retire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I had my ultrasound at 21 weeks exactly on Friday. Everything went well and the baby is doing fine. He/She is so cute and tiny. His/Her hands were so small and so where the feet. I expected the feet and hands to be small, but he/she looked so small and dainty to me. I really hope that God answered my prayers and finally blessed me with a daughter because this is my final child. If my prayers are indeed answered that will be proof that he does hear and answer my prayers. Anyways, if it isn&#8217;t so then or well. I will still love and cherish my child regardless. It just will be a wonderful thing to be able to have a daughter and watch her grow up and become a woman of God. I refused to find out the gender to avoid any disappointment. I will like to enjoy my pregnancy without feeling a bit upset because my prayers weren&#8217;t answered.</p>
<p>I will update this post later with a few ultrasound pics real soon.</p>
<p>Anyways, I&#8217;ve been busy with my GrowBlackHair.NET site as usual. I plan on creating my own haircare line very soon as well. The first products I will offer will be my very own hair butter for twists, braids, and locks. A natural pomade which I have perfected YAY! A natural leave-in conditioner (Haven&#8217;t came up with a perfect concoction just yet.) I will also offer a sulfate free shampoo, clay based deep conditioner, moisturizing hair spray, and natural hair gel in the near future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t even know what to write about today. My back is aching so much right now. This pain just came over me all of a sudden and it feels like someone just took something and bashed me in the back. The pain intensifies when I bend and stretch. Just the slightest turn of my torso makes it hurt even more. As soon as I finish cooking dinner and bathing the boys I&#8217;m going to put the boys to bed and take a hydrocodene and take my ass to bed too.</p>
<p>Today was same ole, same ole, except the fact that I was able to borrow my sisters car while I was at work and went to sign up for the Civil Service Exam for a Cleveland Police Officer. This will be the second time I will be taking an exam this year. Hopefully this time around it will be worth my time because despite my efforts and high score on the last exam, no one ever called me for a job. Honestly I&#8217;m not even putting all my faith into it this go around. I&#8217;m at the point where I just don&#8217;t really give a fuck, but I&#8217;m <strong>really</strong> tired of working for scraps. I&#8217;m tired of not having enough, living paycheck to paycheck; Applying for loans because I don&#8217;t have enough just to be declined; Longing for things, but I can never get them; Wearing the same raggedy shoes I purchased last year; Washing the same 5 pairs of jeans over and over; Looking for a way out; Catching the bus; walking long distances; dreaming, wishing, hoping&#8230;. I&#8217;m just plain fucking <strong>tired</strong> of my situation and no matter how I strive to change it, it always seems like I end up right where I started with completely nothing, but fucking disappointments!!</p>
<p>Wow, I didn&#8217;t know this entry was going to become another one of my rants, but sometimes you just get tired of the same fuckin&#8217; shit day, after day, after day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know I haven&#8217;t updated in a while because I&#8217;ve been so busy. It seems like all I do is work and that&#8217;s going to have to come to a stop. I work 5 or 6 days a week, but I only get up to 28 hours per week. Now does that make any sense to you?! I also had an interview and I&#8217;ve already taken the drug tests and background tests for the position. I will be only working 3 days a week and I will get 36 hours per week qualifying me as full-time. The shifts are 12 hour shifts, but 6 of those hours are paid sleep time. As soon as I am told when orientation starts I will be notifying my current job that I may need to resign. I wanted to keep this job, but it really doesn&#8217;t make any sense to do so. It takes up all my time during the week and I have hardly anytime to be with my boys let alone complete any of my school assignments which will begin May 15th. My education comes first and I know this job isn&#8217;t going to take me anywhere. All it does is pay my phone bill, and give me money to get around and have a little fun. I can&#8217;t do anything big like move into an apartment, or get a car. I gave this a great deal of thought and I&#8217;ve decided that my current job is really too much of a strain for me.</p>
<p>The newest thing in my life is Brian and I finally got our own little spot. It&#8217;s not much, but it&#8217;s a temporary start. We are currently renting a room in a shared house until we both have the finacial assets to move into an actual apartment although we&#8217;ve been also talking about getting a house and maybe renting out half of it. With the Down Payment Assistance program and his military benefits we can have the boys and ourselves in a house. I can&#8217;t wait until something moves in our favor so we can start making some steps forward, but this is a start. We can both sleep peacefully, and I can use my computer without people trying to control what I do with it. I don&#8217;t have to listen to anyone bitching and complaining and neither does Brian. We finally have a little peace in our lives.</p>
<p>I am really nervous, but I have faith in Brian. I love him so dearly and I believe we can make this work as long as we work together. Brian is so different from what I&#8217;m used to. He&#8217;s so loving and caring and helpful. He doesn&#8217;t disrespect me he is completely perfect in my eyes. I can&#8217;t see anything wrong with him. He is completely perfect from every angle in my eyes and I thank God for giving me another chance with him.</p>
