Hello my name is Valencia but you can call me V. After years of damaging my hair, I knew there had to be a better way. So I decided to take the path to go natual and lock up. I was Sisterlcoked from June 2006 until Sept 2010 (4yrs). In which during that time I truly enjoyed my hair freedom. Unfortunately my journey had to come to end due to post partum hair loss. I have recently started a new journey this past September, and looking forward to all the ups and downs. As a new Sisterlocks™ Consultant I want to give women and men that same freedom.

Product Reviews:Oyin

Well in the past, I have purchased several things from several different companies. I finally decided to give my opinion on the products that I purchased. Lets start with Oyin I purchased all most half of the store becuase I was in a happy and shopping mood. (Those two don't go well together!) Anyhow I actually enjoy(ed) most of their products!. Lets start from left to right back row. The Honey Wash is a body wash I got the scent in Rich Almond I absoulutely love the smell nad it really lathers up good. Next is the Black Foam Soap now that product does nothing for me, maybe its because I hardly use it or maybe thats why I don't use it. Whatever the case maybe I 'm just not to fond of it! Next is the After Bath Body Oil also scented in Rich Almond, I like that product as well its also good for massage oil. Now this next product shouldn't even be on here but I couldn't resist.It is Greg Juice. The only reason why I got it is because I here so much about it on Nappturality . I though it wouldn't hurt to purchase it and promised to use it sparingly, and I can honestly say that I have. I think that I have used it maybe once a week but I also mix it with water in a spray bottle. So that isn't so bad right? Anyhow on to the next is Whipped Pudding, I like this product although I think it was primarily made for hair you can use it on your skin as well. It's very mositurizing my skin loves it. Next is the whipped shea butter that is another product that is mainly used for hair but I use it for my skin only. This product also moisturizes the skin however this cream is a litle more thick then the Whipped Pudding. Next is the Belly Bar I love this product. Although it might not do many any justice I think it's working a little bit. See I have stretch marks on my stomach due to having baby and I though this product would give me some help, However I know that there is no cure but it is doing something! Last but not least the Cuppa Joe Soap it came with two bars but I haved used one already. I really like the soap it leaves my skin feeling fresh and the scent really smells like Coffee. I am satisfied with my products that I purchased, However it took a long time for me to recieve my products but I guess it was worth the wait. I felt good supporting my black folks and I would recommend Oyin to anyone.

Somebody Stop Me Please!

Okay I think I'm officially a product junkie! I'm really getting out of control! I really need to stop, before I had hope but now I think its to late! Just recently I went back to Oyin to get the things I wanted from my wish list. Don't worry they are all bath and body products! (lol) Then I finally figured out how to purchase some loc jewerly from Zayunu which by the way her peices are beautiful! Then I thought about those hairties that I wanted from Brunsli, so I went to her site only to find the ones that I wanted where missing! What happened? I guess I wasn't quick enough! However I was in luck she had some new hair ties that were amazing! I coouldn't believe my eyes how beautiful they where. So what did I do? You guessed it. I purchased three! I learned from my mistakes! So you would think that three was good for now right? Not! I went back today and ordered three more! I'm really not trying to buy up all the hair ties! (lol) I just couldn't resist! For 2 out of the 6 hair ties that I bought she did have some extra so I don't feel as bad! Well to solve my problem I decided not to buy any more products until January! (I hope that I can hold out that long) I also hope that Brunsli doesn't make any more hair ties! ( Just Kidding)Also from January I'm going to allow myself to only purchase one hair tie per month and one hair or bath & body product a month, until I get myself under control!. I'm not sure if this is going to work but I hope it does. Anyhow once I get the hairties and loc jewerly I will post pictures! Until next time much love!

Can we say on the verge of becoming a product junkie?

Today was a boring day for me I think I had to much time on my hands. I was on Nappturality.com and I was looking through the forum and different discussions and I came across a subject that was discussing different hair and body products from different companies, which products was good and the ones that werent. I must admit I got a liitle jeoulous of some of the girls that use a lot of different and what I assume nice products in their hair because they have that freedom. However I don't have that freedom well not right now anyways. So I took it upon myself to look at some of the products that they recommended anyway. I went to Oyin's Site
they had some pretty nice things on there for some pretty nice prices. I'd figure since I can't use none of their hair products maybe I can try their bath and body products. So I did I ordered a couple of things and I also added some things to my wish list until I get paid again! (Sad isn't it?)LOL. So far I ordered some soap (Cuppa Joe) and some Honey Sticks which is lip balm. Next time I plan on ordering the Honey Wash, the After Bath Oil, Whipped Shea Butter, Whipped Pudding, Body Butter and the Milk Bath. That's a long list isn't it? I might have to brake the list down some! Anyhow as listed before I just ordrered a Brunsli Hair Tie which I know I'm going to love. I plan to order more as soon as I get the chance. I tried ordering some loc jewerly from Zayunu By Design but I think that company is out of states and I never ordered anything from a nother country and I'm not sure how it works but as soon as I do, I plan on purchasing a couple of items. Anyhow maybe I can find a nice company that sells nice loc jewerly for a decent price here in the states. Well last but not least I was defitnely considering buying some Sisterlock products. I think my hair sure could use some of that Reconstructor and Moisture Treatment. However I'm not sure if my hair is ready for that yet. I guess I'll ask my consultant next time that I go in, and see what she says. Although I have not brought that much products but I'm thinking really hard. I think I should slow down before it gets too far! Until Then Much Love!
