Updates:
**Did some damage over at PZI JEANS. I bought 8 pairs, I think. I can't wait to post pics. You should've seen the hubby everytime I showed him a pair he was to busy looking at the “cheeks” of the models inside of the jeans instead of the particular jean styles. Hubby gave me the green light I logged on and lost my mind. I have been wanting to try these jeans forever so you know I'll keep everyone out there in the blogosphere updated.
**Finally purchased the flat boots and a FEW extras from Ami Clubwear. I have been wanting flat boots for about 2 years and I finally got them. I purchased a pair of knee high boots, some peep toe booties and some really cute ankle strap heels. I also got some cute 'underthings' that I'm sure the hubby will enjoy.
**I relaxed my hair about 2 weeks ago with CHI Deep Brilliance Relaxer in Normal. I love it. My hair 2 weeks later is still so shiny and easy to manage. For some reason my hair feels so much fuller and stronger. I couldn't tell if it was the relaxer process, my progress and/or the use of CHI Infra Treatment. Well, whatever it is I am loving how full it feels and looks.
The CHI Deep Brilliance relaxer system is specifically designed for our hair type and is said to allow those who use this relaxer to also color their hair at some point within the same process.
The balance neutralizing poo has color-alert, but it wasn't as thick as my ORS Creamy Aloe so I added it to the process. I burned my scalp, but it's been such a long time since I self-relaxed that I probably should've praticed before I applied the relaxer. All in all, I am happy with the results, but I think I will have a stylist apply it next time.All products I use to relax: CHI Deep Brilliance Scalp Protective Cream, CHI Deep Brilliance Relaxer in Normal, CHI Deep Brilliance Balance Neutralizing Shampoo, ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo, DUO Tex Protein Conditioner(mid-process protein) and SE Cholesterol Conditioner. LeaveIns: AGTK, Chi Silk Infusion and FX Flat Iron Spray which I absolutely love. It doesn't make my hair crispy at all. The best heat-protectant that I've tried and I have tried many.
**I have been working out on schedule. I am feeling results and losing inches. My weight is still the same and that's fine for me because I know that building muscle will increase weight. The big difference is in the way my clothes fit.
**I am still huge into P-styling so you probably won't see a length check until my next relaxer or my wedding anniversary. I will add all of my weekly styles since my styles are all planned thoroughout my 16-week stretch. It helps me stay consistent. It also helps me so I don't keep repeating the same styles over and over again.

I've considered so many other areas of my life that could use this devotion. This is my goal deadline. I will have to purge all of my unused products and devote my time an energy to the betterment of another area of my life. MBL is my ultimate goal, but I have no idea where my hair will be come December 31, 2013. That will be five years of being hair obsessed.

I have been dying to try PZI Jeans! I'd love a flat pair of boots but...this Diva is too self conscious about her height. At 5ft even, I'm afraid I'll look like a gnome or something. ;2 /
Well, look forward to pics and reviews. I am so excited.
awwww man! So I ran over here like I said and noticed you said we have to wait 16 wks for the update. I guess I'll have to be patient. Your hair looks longer and thicker just from those photos above though so congrats!
Your shopping haul sounds enviable. Look fwd to the photos. Congrats on the healthy lifestyle regimen, I think sticking with it is the best gift you can give yourself. I'm struggling to stay on mine.
S- hair- Sorry for the let down considering how much I love checking out your progress pics. I became length-obsessed and would get upset if I didn't reach my goal so I guess this is sort of a challenge for me to just let it grow.
This is a once in a lifetime haul, while I'll enjoy the buys, I hope I never do this again. Wayyy too much money just went into stimulating the economy.
Nice update, can't wait for the next posts.
I am going to try the Chi relaxer because of this post. Thank you. I have thick, coarse, dull and unrully hair. I usually use organic relazers but I will thry this to see if this helps more.
