Oh my fuck… I cannot believe that I have just a little over 300MB of available data left from the 2GB of data I had loaded on to my SIM card when I purchased my Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem last Friday. But it is all good as I went to the mall earlier to spend some of what was left of the money that Arno had sent me and I purchased enough airtime for a 3GB data bundle. So when what the data I have available right now has run out, I can load a 3GB data bundle onto my SIM card.
I’m going to try and make it last the rest of this month. I’ll only be downloading what is of high priority and will only be downloading whatever else probably the day or so before the data bundle’s expiry date.
I also purchased a bottle of hair shampoo, a bottle of hair conditioner, facial products and some tissue oil. I’ve been using Loréal Paris Elvive Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner since I had my hair dyed at my brother’s fiancé’s salon months ago. I have to say that so far has been the longest time that my hair has held any hair color and it has hardly faded if not at all. It also leaves my hair soft and shiny. I really like it. I have to get my roots touched up soon though as the hair has already grown out almost two inches.
I also purchased a few Garnier Pure products; the ‘Night intensive treatment gel’, ‘Active daily treatment moisturizer’ and two packs of ‘Purifying cleansing wipes’. I already had the ‘Deep pore wash’ and ‘Pore purifying astringent’ from the beginning of this year and thought that I’d get these other products from the Garnier Pure range.
I also purchased a bottle of Bio Oil and a bottle of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener just because I’ve heard good things about them.
My gift from Bob will be sent out to me tomorrow and should get here within eight to ten days or so. Gosh, I am so excited about this but I don’t want to get too excited in case something goes wrong… I hope nothing goes wrong!
Yesterday afternoon I went to Mirrors, my brother’s fiancé’s hair salon and got my hair cut, dyed and styled by my brother. My friend, David had sent me the money for me to get my hair done and because I only received it into my account yesterday, I made an appointment for that afternoon.
My appointment was at half past two yesterday afternoon with Alex, my brother’s fiancé but when I got there he told me that my brother will be doing my hair… I left the salon at around quarter to six o’clock that evening. My hair had to be cut first then dyed and then styled and thinned after that. Because I had thick hair I had to pay double for the amount of dye that was used. I think that he could have done all the cutting and then dyed. Then I would have had to pay less than what I had to… Anyway it came out really good; I shouldn’t have doubted my brother. He never cut my hair before so I was a little worried until I saw the final result. My hair is now thinner, shorter; definitely more manageable and black; my favorite color and I love it! The only thing that needs getting used to is my fringe. But all and all, he did a pretty fucking good job!
I had a couple hundred rand left so I bought a bottle of hair color protecting shampoo and conditioner for my hair. And a ceramic straightening brush that I can use with my hairdryer because I never have had one of those brushes before.
A little after six o’clock last night I received a big brown bag via courier. Inside that big brown bag was a credit card size Woolworths gift card; such a small thing delivered in a large bag… The lovely black gift card was sent to me by David and was to be used for grocery and necessity shopping! As Victor and I are trying to make it this month with the very little funds that we have right now, receiving this gift card was a really great gift and really made my day today…

I’ve never had my nails done before. Well, I have but it was just for the girl’s practical exam as she was attending a course and needed to the hands of several girls for her exam. Anyway, on Tuesday afternoon I went over to my aunt’s new salon to get acrylics done, free of charge.
It was nice. Having my nails done, that is… But afterwards I regretted it. I doubt that my aunt had done them properly because about an hour or so after leaving her salon, the acrylics started to lift from a couple of my fingernails. They weren’t even done properly as near my cuticle, the acrylic was put on too far or right onto my cuticle…
Yesterday they started lifting more and have been coming off one by one. The first two snapped off when I was pulling my bed to get something that had rolled far underneath it. And it hurt when that happened but after that the others just lifted so much that they just came off. Less than an hour ago had the last acrylic come off. Now I’m left with my damaged natural nails.
Hopefully tomorrow I can hopefully buy something to apply onto my nails to strengthen and nourish them because they are thinner than before and look terrible.
Oh and when I can afford to, I’m going to a reputable salon to get my nails done properly.
