At 12 weeks post relaxer I relaxed today with the Organic Root Stimulator Relaxer. My sister did the hourners for me for this time. I usually go to the shop and get my relaxer and trims but since my sister was back in town i asked her to do it for me. I pretreated my ends with a mix of Indian oils, Coconut oil, and profective strengthen leave in. My sister did a trim for me and trim about a 1/2 to 1/4 inch where needed. I'm very satisfied with the results and like that I can finally run my fingers thru my hair. My husband is really happy with the results because he is not a fan of my wigs or weaves. So I'll wear my hair out for a week until i go to the BS store to pick up some new hair for a new sew-in..Here are some pics of my hair including a shot of my lenght and a shot of my scalp and a strange bald spot i have developed on the center part.
My Journey from short to long..from thick to thin.. from uninformed to healthy!

Day -3- Master Cleanse -Final Day-
OK my last day on the the cleanse was a couple of days ago. I would have like to continue and follow thru with the cleanse for the remaining week but I lost all motivation. I did reach my goal weight was 155 and since i met that i really didn't see why to continue. But I found the clease very effective and it worked for me very well. I'm sure it would have worked out even more if i followed it to a 'T'. I tried to stay on it the way it was designed but i really like to eat ..lol.. while i'm at work its easy to stay focused but once i got home.. It was over.. But i certainly would recommend this fast to anyone trying to cleanse and lose weight. I would like to try it again but i will have to take some time off work and try it with the Salt Flush next time.

Day -2-Master Cleanse
Well this is my second day on the cleanse and its not as hard as it was yesterday probably because I'm at work today and I'm to busy to think about food. Yesterday i only finished 2 Cups of the drink.. Today so far i have finished 2 cups and I'm working on another 2 cups.. i'll have finished by the end of the night. Yesterday night..I'll admit i cheated and had a thing of Roman noodle. Because i cooked my hubby some steaks and i just could stand to watch him eat while i didn;t. That will be kinda rude right? See how I justify bad behavior..lol.. anyway ..I haven't been hungry but i still crave those no no foods I'm trying to break from. So wish me luck that i don't get tempted tonight and give in. And BTW the scale now reads 156. Which is 3 lbs less then yesterday. So we already seeing results!! Motivation!!

Day- 1- of the Master Cleanse
Today marks day 1 of my Master Cleanse journey. So far i have only had today my Smooth move Tea this morning and one of the 'Lemonade" teas.. I have another on the counter on stand by. I haven't been very hungry, just craving food that i want to eat that I'm trying to cut from my diet like excessive amounts of sugar and carbs. I also want to see how much weight i can loss and if i can lose mosty my belly weight. I have read that if done correctly i could stand to lose up to 2 lbs a day.. We are going to have to see about that . So right now my starting weight is about 159-160. My normal weight is between 150 and 155. So my goal is just to get back in that range.

The Master Cleanse
So as you see by the title i will be doing the master cleanse to try and tune my body back on track form the horrible diet i have fallen into since thanksgiving. So beginning tonight with my first cup of SmoothMove Tea i will be following the Master Cl ease diet with the Lemonade Drink for 3-5-7 Day..The reason i set that goal is because i have never done this before i don't want to set myself up. So for a minimum of 3 days and a max of 7 days i will be doing this journey.
HOW TO MAKE IT?
2 Tablespoons lemon or limejuice (approx. ½ lemon)
2 Tablespoons genuine maple syrup (Not maple flavored sugar syrup)
1/10 Teaspoon cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste
8 oz water, room temperature
Combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz glass jar w/lid and fill with the water.
Shake it up and drink. (Cold water may be used if preferred.)
Use fresh (organic) lemons or limes only, never canned lemon or limejuice nor frozen lemonade or
frozen juice
So bright and early tomorrow i will be headed to the Whole Food store to Pick up the lemons/limes and maple syrup needed for this cleanse as well as some more Smooth move tea.. Pray for me. LOL

The Mega-Tek Challege Begins...
I received my first ever order of Mega tek Friday and I could not wait to get started using it!! That night after work I mix the Mega Tek (which smells delicious by the way) in with my Indian oil mix and JBCO and put this mixture mostly all on scalp for a pre-poo treatment using a color applicator bottle. Then after my shampoo and deep condition I used a mixture of MT, JBCO, Vitamin E oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Profective growth oil..To grease my entire scalp. This mixture I'll be using on my damaged edges only every other day to see the true power of this mix. I'll continue to use the mix as stated once a week on wash days until i exit this shedding phase I'm in to reduce the chance of further shedding. I've included below pics of my edges to show as before shot. I'll upload my progress in two weeks.
