Last Friday I was able to go on a free trip to Puerto Rico. My sister's friend paid for my flight and hotel because he was unable to go. Unfortunately, his father had fallen ill and passed away. Now all of my friends know that I am broke. I was able to squeeze a few dollars from my boyfriend and grandmother. I didn't find out I was going to Puerto Rico, until 12 hours before my flight. Now this is the time to scream out YOLO because that was very much a "You Only Live Once" moment. I packed enough clothes to last me until Monday, into a carry on. I don't know how I did it, but I got it done. I left with only $350 to spend, while in Puerto Rico. We stayed in San Juan, which is the capital of PR and the largest city in the Caribbean. I loved flying into San Juan because it was a beautiful site to see. Crystal clear water, white sands, and lots of greenery. Yes, I was really flying into paradise. Once I arrived. my sister and I took a taxi to Old San Juan. It was really beautiful in Old San Juan.
On most days, I don't apply gel to my hair depending on the weather. I mostly apply hair gels whenever I'm going to an event and I want my curls to be perfect. I try not to add too many products to my hair. What I love about hair gel is that it keeps my curls very defined, after styling. PVP is a polymer sealer, which is the main ingredient in hair gels. PVP absorbs water and when dried, it locks strands of hair together. This capability is what keeps curls defined and also reduces the chances of hair from frizzing tremendously. The only gel I use in my hair is It Feels Like Sily by Elasta QP I swear by this gel. It's the only gel I found that does not leave my hair hard or have my hair feeling gritty afterwards. Before applying the gel, I wet my hair, apply Cantu's leave in conditioning repair cream and then I apply jojoba and coconut oil. Once I apply the gel, I scrunch my hair a lot. Sometimes I will use a diffuser if I'm going somewhere and need my hair to dry instantly. Most days. I let my hair air dry.
