Thanks! It’s the whole family brunch we’ll be missing if he’s not better. He’s not so sick that we couldn’t go but my BIL is immunosuppressed so as a rule, if you’re sick, you stay home. :/ We’ll still have our own little celebration at home or maybe go out ourselves so it’s all good. Just a little sad. It’s a good thing we ended up changing his birthday celebration to a different day because our original plan was just to have everyone over for cake after brunch.

Rosehip tea: Which book did you love when you were younger?

Harry Potter is the easy and obvious answer but it’s the series I remember most from childhood. It’s not the literary masterpiece don’t have built it up to be but that doesn’t diminish its impact or significance.

Ice tea: Do you miss somebody? Why?

I miss a lot of people because I moved out of state ten years ago and don’t get to see a lot of people I love and care about. I miss the person I thought my dad was when I was a child. I miss my childhood best friend even though I can see now that our friendship was built on proximity to one another more than it was on commonalities that could withstand the test of time.

Turkish tea: What is your favourite cake?

Ice cream cake. Though I do love regular cake too.

The juices are the business! I also used to love using the Whipped Pudding on my hair after washing. It would be so soft. I can't use it on my hair anymore, because locs, but I've used it as a lotion for years. Before locs, I would occasionally use Whipped Shea on my hair to seal it during the winter.

Have you tried Oyin Handmade? I think their conditioner and moisturizers are pretty good. I have locs now so I can’t use a lot of their heavier products, but before I had locs I thought their butters were good as well.
