Its my fiiirst week! And scandal recaps are dead! Maybe ?

So y'all are probably wondering what happened to the Scandal recap from last week and this week. Well first off I must say I hate bloggers who disappear. Like how dare they. Until I became one and well I'm with them now 100%. I'm thinking yea of course ill have mad time to blog at night. But um no. Here's why, the course I'm taking is very time consuming. And until I can do like most busy bloggers do which is download an app that automatically posts your once a day or whatever I can't do the weeklies anymore except on weekends like Sunday. I'm not going to go away for long tho.
Next the scandal recap....okay so I will still do it just can't do it weekly because I'm barely keeping my eyes open at 10 now. I wake up daily at 5:45, out the door by 7:15, at school from 9-2....come home and do my hw. By all that I'm soooo sleepy. But I did see the last to eps. Yall see Olivia's stupid ass go back to Fitz, ugh that women has man issues. But you see her parents aren't the best of role models so how else would she know how she should be with a man. Instead of having sex with different men every episode. She can fix everyone but herself. Her mom isn't dead, but I'm glad Kandi Alexander Plays her mom yay. Quinn is another stupid one who done got herself f"d up. Lol. Huck may torture her next EP she deserves it. And Cyrus has possibly ruined his own marriage. So jacked up. All these grown ass people have good jobs, appear to be intelligent yet their personal lives stink. But ill keep watching lol.
So I will keep you guys updated on school and such. So far so good! We'll see as time progresses.
Thanks so much for reading.

I, like most naturalists love making my own hair and skin products. It not only is a way for me to relax but a great way to know EXACTLY what is in my products.

Scandal Recap Season 4 ep 6

Last nights episode of Scandal was a little bit too draggy for my taste, but I did watch.

-First we see that Olivia is still trying to piece together that Fitz may have killed her mom. So she goes to the white house to confront Fitz, although they think she came back to work on the campaign. She questions Fitz on #operationremmington and he denies it by saying he doesn't know what she's talking about.

-Josie is now a Pope&Associates client so she and the rest of the gladitors are working on her campaign.

-Sally, VP of the USA, is secretly trying to throw Fitz under the bus so that she can run for president against him.

-Jake, Huck and Liv are still trying to find out more in regards to what really happended with that plane. Jake inquires info from a friend from the past. The friend agrees to help him and meet him later.

-Cyrus has information on a terrorist that was deported years ago, this terrorist some how has links to Harrison and it doesn't look good for him if he comes back to the USA.Cyrus is doing everything in his power to get Liv back even if that means threantening her team.

-Fitz, Milly, and Cyrus are scrambling because Josie is doing well in the polls with Liv as her campaign manager, and some preacher has gone rouge against the presidents infidelity. So they invite over Sally and her Hubby to see if she can do something about the preacher, since she's such a "good Christian". While at dinner Milly notices that Sally's husband is a handsy flirt. They can use this to their advantage.

-Liv is still upset, flashes of her last convo with her mom keep playing in her head. She calls her dad and asks him if he was the one responsible for her death. He says no.

-Quinn is still fascinated with guns so she goes to the range and Charlie comes in and peaks her interest.

-Jake goes to meet the lady about the info regarding the plane, some guy pops up and shoots her in the head and tells Jake to look in her bag. He finds a gun. The man takes him to Fitz. Fitz tells Jake to stop inquiring and that he can no longer protect him from NC-13. Jake leaves the office.

-Quinn reacquaintes herself with Charlie at the gun range . Charlie then makes a phone call to Sid telling him that he has Quinn. Which I'm sure is going to end badly for that gladiators.
-Fitz goes over to Liv 's apartment to ask her again to comeback to his campaign but she says no after he denies knowing about #operationremmington. She also tells him why shes so concerned about the plane, because her mom was on the plane.

This episode was kinda draggy. This is normal during this part of the season so most viewers start to channel surf around this time. I'll keep up my weekly recaps but I do hope it gets a teeny bit better with #mamapope. Her character will refresh things for me.

Scandal season 4 episode 5

Last night was Halloween and I was so into all the horror flicks that I kinda forgot about the show. So this recap is going to be short.

- Olivia's new client is played by Lisa Kudrow, who is a possible Democratic candidate running against Fitz. She had a secret child as a teen but she wants to keep it under wraps.
-Liv is doing her end of the contract with her father by going to dinner every Sunday.
-Jake and Huck are trying to spy on Sid to get info on #operationremmington so they are following him, at his house to download his files.
-Meanwhile the team is heading out of town to find out more about the baby Lisa Kudrow put up for adoption, but they find out that she lied and that her mom raised her daughter as her own. Meaning her sister is really her daughter.
-As the Republican party plans to expose the mystery baby, during the Democratic debate Lisa Kudrow announced the truth about her daughter / sister. She fires Olivia for making her tell the truth.
-Everyone heads out to the correspondance dinner, Jake is there with Liv. Liv gets a nod from the Secret Service she assumes its Fitz because they stayed up all night on the phone writing jokes. To Olivia's surprise it was actually Milly asking her to come back to be Fitz's campaign manager. insert cliffhanger here because she doesn't say yes or no.
-Jake gets upset that Liv only used him to see Fitz. And storms out. LIV goes back to her office where Harrison is conversing with Lisa Kudrow. She asks Liv if she'll come back. Liv says no, Harrison says what did you just do. I think she said yes to Milly but we won't find out until next Thursday.
-Jake comes home to see Huck still there. Seems as if he figured out why Fitz detoured to Finland back in the day. Turns out he was there to shoot down a plane that had Liv's mom on it. If this is true I'm sure Sid had his hands in it.

Now here is my review of this episode I'm kinda over Olivia's character being so blinded by love. I pray that no one is like her in real life but there are. I've been there minus the being in love part. But as far as just being plain ol stupid for a man who ain't worth the time. Hope they change that soon. Shonda needs to pull back the desperation just a Tad. But if you have watched and supported Shonda in her career you know that her female characters always have it together professionally but personally they are fucked up.
Ill continue to watch and share.

Blogtober 28-#Shop&frisk

Hey y'all.
long time no blog. Okay. Well maybe not that long.
First off id like to say blogtober is almost over. Womp womp. But I do believe this put fire under my bottom to blog at least twice a week. No its not errday but twice is what I can do right now.
Halloween is coming so please be safe trick or treating because people are crazy and get extra around the holidays.
This week is going to be exhausting with all the #shop&frisk talk. If u havent heard this  past week a few african American customers announced a suit they against Barney's the department store for being profiled after spending thousands of dollars in their store. This is very sad this happened but people need to stop being surprised that racism isn't dead. Not justifying what they did but I also have known for year's what stores to go in and where not to go. Case in point I don't shop at Short Hills mall. Most of the stores are too expensive anyway but they also racial profile. They don't even bother asking you if you need assistance they do the "we'll be right with you" thing and then disappear and help the white customers. Here's the solution my brown beautiful people STOP GOING IN STORES THAT FOLLOW YOU!! If before you make a purchase someone is rude, condescending, ignoring you, or just plain mean don't by anything. This isn't the first instance at a highend retail store....unfortunately it won't be the last. Just don't waste your time and money on places that don't want you in their store. More likely than not this is an employee issue not a policy made by the company. Pretty sure these so called "rules" aren't in the hand book. Because I have experience in working in high end stores I know this to be true. Just be aware of asshole behavior when you shop!

Moving on this week my family has so many bdays!! Happy Birthday! To my family and friends! And Happy Birthday to all the Scorpions. Woop woop!

I hope you guys have a safe Halloween!
Thank you for reading!

Blogtober 26-Am I a geek/nerd?

Am I a Nerd/Geek?

I pose this question to myself because I really think that I am, and now is the time to admit it. LOL. All my life people would call me a nerd because of many different things. I think it's because of my curiosity with Tech from video games to software. I remember being about 6 when I first used a computer at my school. It was the most fascinating thing I had ever seen. I came home and told my parents about it and how you could do all of these things with computers. My dad went to a used computer store and purchased a used Apple Macintosh. The big one from the 80's LOL. (Think Dunkin Checks In the movie). I wish we had kept it because maybe it would've been worth something. People laughed at me in school when told them we had an Apple. Can you imagine less than 10 years later they'd be as popular as every other PC. My first and only game was Paper boy and we had a joystick, it took these huge floppy disks. My mom is the kind of person that likes something for as little as a week before she gets bored with it, esp if it's not doing what she wants. I am a teeny bit more patient than that especially as an adult, as a kid forget about it. I didn't know what patience was. So although I was fascinated with the Apple Macintosh my dad and mom weren't feeling it just lying around the house. My mom takes some typing course and thinks she's a computer wiz so we buy a Microsoft Word Processor. It was a Monitor and typewriter. The screen had this humungous knobs for settings. But this was for my mother's use only. Unless I had HW she wouldn't let me get near the thing.

Eventually after my mom went through about 2 Word Processors (like I said nothing is ever right lol), and after my pleading to my dad we went to The Wiz and nobody beats The Wiz  lol. By this time I was pretty knowledgeable about what type of PC we needed, but of course a 4th Grader is never really taken seriously. Through the misguidance of my oldest brother and my mom's so called knowledge of PC's we end up with a Packard Bell. I was finally able to use this PC, mainly because by now the internet became more relevant and because we didn't have it my parents got bored with it rather quickly so they stopped using it. I remember it being Windows 98 and I had tons of games to play on it. From Barbie, to math games and puzzles. I was in love with it. My parents also bought me a PlayStation so I was on fire on the Tech front. But the only people who loved video games then were boys and I didn't want to always be seen as one of the boys. So again I kept it a secret that I spent hours on my PS playing Tekkan 3 and owned every Twisted Metal game known to man lol.

Fast Forward to about 6th or 7th grade, when it became a must-have for every household to have the internet. Something happened where Verizon wasn't available in our area, my dad wasted all this money putting an Ethernet card into the back of the PC. It was just a disaster. I rarely used it except to type HW or play a game. But I always felt that if I were given a chance to play around with it I could figure it out how to get the internet. I knew how to do things with the PC that my parents didn't. I helped them with resumes, I set up all the software on our PC. It wasn't until HS and all of my friends had the internet that I knew I had to do something fast. Everyone had AOL back then so I couldn't IM people or check emails. I was so dramatic but I felt like I was missing out on everything. So with my dad's permission I started tinkering around with our PC. I took off the back panel and had like a moment that I'll never forget. There were so many things I could take apart and put back together. It was fascinating. I set up the internet over the weekend but just changing some settings and switching some boards in the back. Well I was able to set up the internet by myself, and for free. Booyow!! lol. When I went back and told my friends they weren't as excited as I was so I kept my love for tech to myself. Who wants to be seen as a Nerd, it was bad enough I wore glasses, and was an A/B student. I didn't like feeling as if people thought I was a GEEK/NERD. I know now it's okay to be smart and be in to technology because of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. But when you come from the hood, go to a Catholic school, middle class family, smart, people look at you differently. You aren't one if the "cool" kids if you were smart. So I just kept it a secret for years and put it out of my mind.

Through out the years I learned terms, took computer courses in college, fixed/installed software my own as well as for others like family and friends. All self taught of course. But that's how you used to learn things. Now we have YT videos that show and instruct us on everything from installing software to fixing our Android phones. It's just always been fascinating to know that I can actually be good at something and have people need my help for it.

I know my blog posts can sometimes be long winded, but I said ALL of that stuff to say "Don't Block Your Blessings". If you have a talent, that you can't escape from or something you love doing and are really good at but not quite sure if its right, still explore that and except that that is maybe who you are. You can't deny that feeling for too long. Oh it's going to come out one way or another. So I can now say it loud and proud,

I AM A NERD!!!!
That felt pretty good to say lol.

Just be yourself and don't change something in order to appease your so called friends.

Blogtober 24-Scandal season 4 ep4 recap

Hey y'all here's my recap of Ep 4.

-Jake and Olivia are arguing in her apartment about her dad, Sid pope. She basically tells him that it's time they stop all communications because it can only end badly if her father found out he was still there. Jake leaves.

-The gladiators have a new client, a Senator who sexted some half naked pictures to tons of women, one ends up dead.

-Huck is back at AA meetings for killing, Quinn follows him but he catches her hiding out at the meeting.

-Elections are coming up so Milly, Cy, and Fitz are on their P's and Q's to make sure everything goes well, but people wont let it go about the infidelities in the WH. Not to mention Milly said some not so nice things about a Democrat women running for President (Lisa Kudrow) while sum else's mic was on.

-The gladiators are in court trying to prove the Senator to be innocent. They bring up things about the girl's past that may hurt David Rosen's case big time. Quinn is still trying to help Huck out with his 'Killing' problem.

-Turns out the Senator has a sex addiction. He has been texting women even during the trial. Liv and her team has to decide what to do now.

-Milly is doing media control because of her comments. Fitz has a proper burial for his friend from the navy, Pete Foster who Huck killed last week, he was apart of #operationremmington.

-Jake is following Liv's father to get info to bring him down. He leaves the information with Liv even though she says she wants nothing to do with him or what her dad does for a living. Huck looks through the file on the guy he killed and has the realization that Sid can probably be brought down

-The Senators wife goes missing for a while, then Liv finds her and persuades her to testify so that her husband doesn't go to jail.

-Huck and Jake show up to Liv's  apartment with evidence to bring down command aka Sid Pope. They bring her a file about #operationremmington which states that a plane Pete Foster was supposed to be flying was actually flown by Fitz.

-The Senator is found not guilty, Liv finds out that he wasn't really with his wife and that she was out that day. Then Liv puts two and two together and realizes that his wife was the killer of the girl.

-Quinn and Huck get into about her fascination for killing. Quinn, girl get it together. I don't like the way they are going with her character but we are pretty early in the season.

-Jake and Liv are making out when Fitz calls to talk about something, he hears a mans voice then hangs up. Fitz arrives at Sid Pope's headquarters. Which is not a good thing because it will bring up some past things that should stay hidden during election year.

My views on this episode was A+ we are getting closer and closer to finding out the truth with Operation Remmington. And if Quinn will become the new Huck and start killing people. She's crazy now. \
I know the recap is short but there was just too much details before. This recap this week is my new method. More of a synopsis of the episodes than detail formatted blog.

Thank you all so much for the support.

Feel free to leave a comment on this episode or the show below.

Blogtober 22-How I use protein treatment on Natural Hair plus review of Palmer's coconut deep conditioning protein treatment

Let me start off by saying I have absolutely no professional knowledge of hair. Whether that be natural hair or relaxed hair, professional I am completely ignorant to what works and what doesn't. Now when it comes to personal knowledge from years of taking care of my own hair then I can offer my input on how certain things worked for me and what just absolutely does not. As far as the physiological aspects of my hair I am learning as I go just as many of you are. I would love to be able to spew out information about  (cortex)

Blogtober 19-My week at a glance.

Well Hello out there in blogger land.
As you all know I love blogging and my goal is to continue to help as many people as possible with being relaxer free. So many people need help with this journey but I've always assumed that everyone knows everything. Just because we might know something we can't expect others to know it too. That goes with everything in life. So being able to blog or make a video in order to help someone out is awesome and fun to me. The issue isnt blogging though, the issue is actually posting. I have no internet so I had to post on my phone, which is fine but now I'm stuck using my old phone because my new one is in what android users call a bootloop. Oh I've tried recovering nothing works. That basically my only issue with posting regularly....lack of internet.
Next month I'm going to be going back to school so that may also play a role in regular postings. But I'm going to continue to do the best I can.

Now that that's out of the way lets update my week
Wed I watched this movie called 'Toy Story of terror'. I love animation esp the Toy Story franchise, I cried on the part when they were almost crushed in the last one and they were all holding hands. Ugh I was bawling like a baby. But I recommend this movie 100%.
Thursday I went to Walmart with my mommy. Her tablet stopped working and she had to get another one. But while I was there I found a Curls product that I've been wanting to try. It's called Curls goddess curls . I can finally wash my hair today so I'm going to try with one of my styling creams. I'm excited.
Friday I registered for school which made me so excited. I love school and have missed learning so much. Its a computer certificate that Ill be getting which is right up my alley. It was between computers or cooking. I love both my computers are more versatile than cooking to me. Plus I've been using computers longer lol.
Today is Saturday, the 19th of Oct and I'm just going to wash my hair and do a twist out with the Curls and probably Cantu Shea butter. See how that combo works.
My sewer has been stopped up so I was trying to figure how I'd wash my hair then morning it was a miracle it was clogged anymore. I know God did that...#wonthedoit
Well on to my Saturday chores.
Enjoy your weekend
