Total Neglect

samara — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 06:38:59 +0000

I have been neglecting my digital journey like a nigga that owes child support…SMH (Ok, I know that was super ghetto LOL)
Anyways, my new life as a business owner/full-time mom has been keeping me busy and I find a have little time to update. I am now homeschooling my sons as well as trying to promote and run my business. I plan on traveling to Florida for a couple days in October for a hair show to present and sell my products. I hope that I make at least the money I’ve invested in the trip, if not more. Well I must be going. I have hair products to make, a house to tidy up, and a 13 month old to tend to.

The day is drawing nearer…

My hair boutique grand opening day is getting closer and closer. I have decided on the 21st to be my official opening day because I want to make sure I have all my shipments here when I open up shop. I’ve received my preservative, pumps for my bottles, and a few of the ingredients needed. I have 2 more shipments that will be here between tomorrow and the 15th. I will also have to find somewhere else to order some jojoba oil if I can’t find a big bottle in Wholefoods because the supplier that I ordered from is out of stock. I did find a supplier that I may order from with reasonable shipping rates if I can’t find it in Wholefoods, because I really hate to have to pay $15 for shipping for one item. A lot of these suppliers only offer one shipper which sucks because it gives us no choice but to pay the high cost just for the item to be left on your doorstop without the delivery man even giving a thought to ring your doorbell(UPS). I pay good money for my items and I feel it shouldn’t just be left outside on my porch for someone to steal…SMH

Well in other news, Israel has learned to sit up on his own and his first word was “Mama“, can you believe that? I was expecting him to say the dreadful “Dada” first, given that most children do(), but nope! My baby fixed his lips to make the “M” sound and said “Mama” !!

Well I have the rest of my shabbat to enjoy. Later…

Updates: My Life, My Journal, My Future

Today was a pretty laid back day. I slept all the way until about 3pm because I really didn’t get any rest since I got off work. I had to work 3rd shift and I was basically up all day except for the measly 3 hours of rest I got when I got off. I was so tired when I got home last night after talking to my friend for a bit on Skype and listening to some music I just crashed. I would not have still been up if it wasn’t for Israel whom wanted to play at 4am…

So what have I been up to? Well for starters I went to see the movie TRON and I must admit I really liked it. I will be going to see it again probably this weekend or maybe Monday with my son because he wants to see this movie too. I am sure he will enjoy it. It was really intense with the all the 3D graphics and effects. It almost felt like I was really in a video game. LOL!

Today I woke up with a sore throat so I’ve been sucking on throat lozenges and drinking hot tea all day. Elijah went to his martial arts class, so I did a little grocery shopping while he was in class, went and got him and went home. I really can’t wait until it starts warming up. I’m already getting tired of the cold weather.

MARCH 2011… My product line will be introduced to the public baby! I am looking so forward to this. As of now all the products are created and I’ve decided on my packaging supplier. Right now I am just smoothing out any kinks to make sure every formulation is perfect. The styling cream, hair milk, shampoo, and oil are the bomb. I am still trying to perfect my leave-in. I want it to be super moisturizing, detangling and with lots of slip. A few more tries and I’m sure I’ll have the perfect formulation come March.

I installed a new plugin today so when you login, it will match the entire site. The old register/login plugin got deleted when I had to downgrade my wordpress installation due to some plugin interferences I was experiencing when I upgraded which caused major issues. I mean, I couldn’t even login to my own damn blog! Anyways, I like new registration plugin way better than the old one and I’ve also added a captcha since spambots decided to visit my blog and register with fake accounts…SMH

A Better Day

Today things are a bit better than yesterday. The weather was nice despite the rain this morning. I think the humidity messed my hair up. I had a cute little braid out this morning, but now I have a huge fro…LOL! At least it’s not frizzy.

I’m still trying to sort things out so I’ll give you some updates regarding that. Also, I am talking to my husband right now as I am typing this. He decided to call me, we’ll see how this goes, I guess.

In other news my haircare line is coming alone, slowly but surely. I have 2 products pretty much complete, but I’m having issues with 2 other products that I am working on. I know I’ll will figure it out soon. The shampoo and conditioner should be easy, but the hair gel and pomade is my biggest issue as of now. More about that later, will keep you posted. I can’t wait to release my line, but all good things come with patience and persistence.
