The weird shit people do

So i was in stratford station this afternoon and saw one of the weirdest things... There was this fresh african guy wearing the tightest adidas tracksuit bottoms i have ever seen! And to top it off he had big feet so he was wearing some bulky ass trainers. I seriously had to fight the temptation to laugh as i watched him run through the station with his bow-legged, bulky-shoed self. He needs turn his swag on fuh real homie!

It gets worse....

I have these weird brazilian housemates (triz and tatti as i like to call them) and they're just hella peculiar! They constantly move things around in the kitchen, they have the cheek to complain about mess but they make the most of it. They pull up the blinds at all times of day as if the world and its mistress needs to see into our flat. They'll be in their rooms sounding like their having the rio carnival in their rooms but its just them and their loud ass friends talking. I am counting down the days til their deported,

HAIR UPDATE - take the heat

so basically, i'm a black girl with extremely dry hair. i perm, i weave, and i braid which all aren't so great attributes of healthy hair, so along with my use of straighteners and blow dryers, my hair is very weak.

i decided to start documenting my hair experiments, something i've been meaning to do but i only really began over the last three/four months.

as i mentioned before, my hair is really dry so i know try to focus on using conditioners as my sister once said to me "every time you wet your hair, you should use a conditioner." she obviously doesn't mean like rain kinda wet, but like after or during a wash.

i'm still trying things out from various brands/ranges, but as of now, i have found that 'take the heat: 3 minute miracle' by the Aussie brand works 'miracles' with my afro hair.

it is obviously designed for caucasian type hair, but i think it still does pretty much the same job. it made my hair a lot more softer, and lighter (but not in a bad way) and made my hair absorb grease a lot better, so i had to moisturise my hair less often.. i've only used it twice but its had the same effect both times.. in
terms of hair growth, i don't think i've noticed anything major but hey, like i said i'm still seeing how it works for me.
