Loyalty

Loyalty is something that is established between two people, but what happens when the loyalty isn't reciprocated? A bond is been broken, and that damaged aspect of friendships/relationships will always cause problems and that bond will never be whole again.

curly hair cocktail

I have noticed for a while that a lot of women have decided to go natural. I have been natural for a while and I have the very rare 3C curls. I have fought these tight ringlets all my life until 3 years ago. I decided to stop the never ending battle because, it was not worth all of the hassle. Growing up my mom pressed my hair with the old school straightening comb and then I took matters into my own hands as a teen and started the relaxer process. The relaxer process yielded some bad results hair thinning and lost so did away with it because, at heart I am a wash and go kind of girl. Nonetheless, I brought back my curly tresses and I have embraced them ever since (the way my mom encouraged me to from the beginning).

I had to find the right combination of hair products to create and maintain the proper balance of moisture and shine for my grade of hair. With much experimenting I found the perfect cocktail (results may vary)! 

Alba Mango Moisturizing Hair Wash

Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Conditioner

Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Creme

These products have proven to be amazing for my hair, when used in the right combination. I wash, condition and detangle in the shower; after that I shingle in the Cantu Shea Butter while hair is wet. Then I defuse the top of my hair for 5 mins or so and then pull it into a high ponytail and let it air dry. By defusing the top, I set the top layer of curls, the ponytail gives it volume and air drying allows for your natural curl pattern to take effect. Your curls can last up to 3-5 days if maintained properly! Right now I am sporting 4 day old hair and I can still get at least 2 more days out of it.

 

Most people use the twist out method for these curls, but this is my natural texture



Hair has not been styled and I do apologize for the lack of makeup! Sundays are the days I let my face rest.



Adore her....

I am speaking of the amazing Jennifer Lopez. Many people may call her overrated and untalented, but personally I loooove her style and I think she is talented  (triple threat) and in my head she is known as Auntie Jennifer! lol

I thought her ad campaign for Tous was gorgeous and creative (kudos to Ellen von Unwerth) I need one of those bears!

 

XOXO
The End

NEVER APOLOGIZE.....

-for what you think
-how you feel
-or what you do (depending on the action, if it's out of spite....you know the deal....it's not right)

if the actions are genuine and from the heart it's a REAL thought, emotion and action. Never apologize for being who you are!

its been a min....

but now I am back up in it! I know it has been a while (almost a year) since I last posted and I apologize for disappearing. There has definitely been some changes and those changes have caused to me to grow as a person and examine life differently. I have to start taking my life and my crafts more seriously.....I don't know why this is a revelation and 27yrs old, but it is and I am ready to make some improvements.

First i will start off with the matters of the heart. It has been a rocky road and I must say that I gave someone too much power over me. My spirit is lost and I am trying to lure her back. Love should never have one second guessing herself and it should never be an excruciating event in your life. I always had this picture of love being kind, light and wonderful. To my surprise it started out that way, but it is ending as a slow train wreck that I can't manage to stop. The truth is I'm not sure if I want to stop it, I mean maybe it could turn around!  Is it bad to love someone so much that you want to be with them no matter what......through the tears, through the fights, through the unnecessary "I'm Sorry's".....when is enough....enough?
