Healthy Textures A Review

Ok, No podcast today. They will be back at the first of the year. I have a lot already recorded, and I have some great things planned so yay!

I will however leave you with the last Blog Spotlight for 2007!!!!

Drum Roll Please........

PHOTODEE

Now, this young lady has a FAB blog. Not only is she a knitter, but she is an AWESOME photographer. Go by and check her out today. Her blog posts really make you think!!!

Today I am going to do a review, and it's not a very good one, but I believe in letting you guys know MY opinion about stuff....good and not so good.

I've been following this blog Healthy Textures for a while now. I decided, sometime not long ago (maybe right before my diagnosis)  to start taking care of my own hair. To release myself from the bondage of the salon. NOW, nothing wrong with going to the salon, but, well you know.  I've always maintained my hair inbetween salon visits, but I wanted to do all of my hair care. So I started reading this blog, just going through ALL the information. Making notes, reading, reading, reading. Don't get me wrong it's a GREAT site, BUT, the trouble started when she introduced the DVD pictured below.

Now, while it is a great video, and the total cost with shipping was only a little over $20.00, I feel it was a waste of money. The lady that did the videos has a small series of videos on youtube. You can view them
HERE. Now the thing that got me, was you can see EVERYTHING on youtube, that is on the dvd with the exception of the rollersetting part. Maybe I thought the dvd would be more, but it says that it is a rollersetting DVD, but the rollersetting section is very short. Like I said. Everything else can be seen on youtube. FOR FREE. lol

So don't waste your money, just go check out youtube.

GOT A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE SOON! NO I AM NOT PREGNANT LOL. But well, it's huge to me! LOL

Ok, so umm, not much more going on, still organizing, getting rid of....but it's all good stuff. I'll show pics as soon as everything is complete.

Been feeling kinda blah. Had a big pity party yesterday but I cried for a while and got over it.

Been sleeping a lot, if you've emailed me, I'm getting to them.

Kids are PAST ready for Christmas. Aj asks me EVERYDAY if he can open his gifts yet...NO YOU CAN'T.

That's it you guys have a great day!!!

it's your party and you cry if you want too, girl!!! Sometimes, you have to let it all out, if you keep stuff in it can become TOXIC, and that's NEVER a GOOD THING.

I feel you on the Christmas thing, Jaree is driving me nuts, with this ever evolving Christmas list of hers. I told her, girl look, Santa is done, so don't bring me no MORE LISTS....LOL

Girl, take it easy. Get plenty of rest and take care of yourself.

Love ya
Dana

You do need to let out your emotions. You have every right to do it.

Thanks for the heads up on the hair website. I hate when crap like that happens! But what can you do?

Take Care and remember you are in my prayers.

[Michelle]

I used to maintain my hair, but have gotten lazy! That is my "Me-Time"! Have you ever tried any of Carol's Daughter products? I hear they are really good for "Our" hair textures.

[Diana]

Aw, Adrienne, you are too kind! Thanks for the blog spotlight of 2007! I am honored!
Can't wait to see the things you have planned for 2008, as well as your organized space!

[Sheila]

Hope you're feeling better. I visit Healthy Textures' site often and agree its a great site. However, I did not order the DVD, b/c I've finally master rollersetting my hair . It's shame that the rollersetting part was very short and to think it takes me at least 30 minutes to get all my rollers just right...lol

[Christina]

Great info! My hair would laugh at whatever dvd was offered to help, teach or tame it... not any old laugh, it would do a dr. evil laugh! lol
Thanks girl!

[Bobbi]

what!?!? You can't tease us like that! No fair! LOL

I'm sending you lots of good vibes and hugs :)

[Melanie S. Smith]

Hey girl! I hope that you are feeling better! Be looking in the mail girlie!! Hey, I feelin' a little sad... Last year you had all of the Christmas goodies on your blog in November (LOL) this year.... Not so much (LOL)... That really got me in the mood.... Come on we have 7 more days!!! Okay, I get it.... Get my own blog!

[Melanie S. Smith]

[kimt]

its ok to have a hard day. You have a lot going on. You seem to have a great, positive attitude that will take you far. But being real is also very good for the soul and the healing process. So, cry whenever you need to cry girl.

Looking forward to hearing your HUGE announcemnent!

[Tany]

Adrienne, I visited Photodee and WOW, the pictures are beyond great! Thank you for pointing this blog out! She really produces wonders with her camera!

About the DVD, I hate when stuff like this happen...

I hope you're feeling better! Have a great day! (I had a terrible one, WORK; WORK WORK; it's 23h20 and I got back home half an hour ago!)

[yaiAnn]

Are you pregnant?! =)

[Noel Fabbri]

WARNING....This is the Momma in me that always has to offer unsolicited advice. I noticed that the time shown for your last post was around midnight - shouldn't you be sleeping at that time? I'm just asking LOL Seriously, take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it helps. God Bless.

[Sue]

Hey Adrienne, can't wait to hear your news. And I sure hope that your dr. was very very wrong about this whole week being the worse for you!! Feel better soon and know I am thinking of you...lots of love and prayers!!!

[greta adams]

eeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!

[mae hardin]

It is OK to cry, cleanses the soul. Hang in there, there is light at the end of your tunnel.

[Sheri]

Cannot wait to read the good news. I have curly hair and looking for ways to keep it curly and not frizzy, lol.

[Creole Wisdom]

Heller. I was thinking of you last night. I bought and watched "Something New" amazing. The actor was HOTT. You would love it!!!!

[Kelly]

Stay stron girl. You can make it. Can't wait to see your sewing area after you organize and the big annoucement.

[Michelle]

Glad your feeling better, sometimes one needs to have a pity party to get it out and then you can move on!

My students are sooo ready for Christmas, they are making me nuts! Only one more day!

[Erica C.]

Have a safe and wonderful Xmas!!! Love ya!
Oh and uhhhh......I'm waiting for MY shoes...Thank you very much!!!

[Cindy Lee]

Man alive! I FINALLY got around to trying your Potato Soup recipe and it's AWESOME! The absolute best I've ever put in my mouth - it will definitely be one of my family's favs from now on! Sorry, I know this post has nothing to do with your recent post but just had to let you know, lol! hugs, Cindy Lee

[anna]

Girl, you are NOT alone when it comes to the salons. I can't stand wasting my time in them, so cheers to you for working toward your own independence.

Shoot, sometimes you need a pity party in order to keep pushing through. I know you've got a great hubby and support system of homies in the 'Ham that'll get ya through. I may be MIA from here and there, but ya know you're in my prayers.

LOL, kids will be kids. AJ still cracks me up, "These nuts." ROFL!!!

[rhonda]

I'm with AJ...it's TIME TO OPEN GIFTS!!!
