forgot about twist-outs

2011-10-24T04:11:00.001-07:00

So my hair was a HOT ASS MESS the past week... I was taking a break from the heat and straightening but too lazy to do anything to it... plus my skin was bad... just an all around bad week.... but I'm recovering thanks to Organic Root Stimulation Products. They're not my fancy, but the replenishing conditioner comes thru in the clutch! Here's what I used:

Creamy Aloe Shampoo ( just as drying as any )
Replenishing Conditioner ( as a comb thru and DC )
Olive Oil Cream ( on my scalp and as a twisting aide )
Herbal Oil ( to lock in all that good stuff and untwisting this morning )

I was really pleased with the cream, especially for twist-outs and my scalp. I'm not feeling that "after wash itch" some of us dry scalp girls have. I also had to retwist some due to HEAT DAMAGE!!! I cut it off lol... but they were just as seamless as the rest! I forgot why I love these!

Take Care Guys!

Apps on Apps on Apps :)

I have definitely tried my share of apps on my new Samsung Indulge (Cricket's Galaxy)

and I think i've found my favorites....

Let's start with CUSTOMIZATION... I've tried...

GoLauncherEx (and the rest of the GoDev products) ✓
- What I loved...

Girly Themes that are FREE!
Ultimate Customization

-What I Hated...

NOT A THING! :)

ADW Launcher ☒
-What I Loved...

NOTHING!!!

-What I Hated...

Not a huge selection of themes, especially not girly ones. Cuztomization is limited. More of a "Guy's App"...

91pandahome (and other 91products) ✓
-What I Loved...

Lots of Free Girly Themes on the App Market, Unique Styles

-What I Hated...

Annoying Dockbar that hasn't been fixed in any updates...

Handcent ☒
-What I Loved...

Complete Customization of Messaging, down to the font... Even has its own font packs, ALL FREE

-What I Hated...

Free Fonts weren't that cute... No Emoji

Fancy Widgets ✓
-What I Loved...

EVERYTHING about it!

-What I Hated...

NOTHING! I think I use every widget!

Next we'll take a look at Social Media Apps...
Twitter For Android ☒
-way too slow, often "Force Closed" and just not as savvy as Plume, also used a lot of Memory and Battery Life
Twicca ☒
-ugh... all I have to say is "HATED IT" haha
Plume ✓
-can't rave enough about this app! Has the option to "Kill" so that it doesn't waste battery life, quick photo uploads, profile viewing by email... easy follow-backs :)
Foursquare for Android ✓
(I no longer have FB... so i'm lacking in that area...)
Next, Utilities (these are the only ones that i've used and liked...)
Google Reader
Navigation
ABC News
Advanced Task Killer
Fast Reboot
Photoshop for Android
Pandora
and last but NOT LEAST.... Games and Other Cool Apps... (again, only ones I've used and liked...)
Words with Friends
Hanging With Friends
Angry Birds
Fat Booth
Talking Tom
Second Life Mobile Grid Client
Pink Nation
Sex Positions (LOL)
YouTube
