Hey, so we are just going to have to get used to the fact that I DO NOT POST REGULARLY. It's not my intention, it just happens. I have been super busy and such - but I thought that the past few days (months even, but ain't no body got any actual time for that) were very bloggable. Blog-worthy.

Now, I know no one really reads this blog anymore (laughs to myself), but if anyone were to take a gander I do want people to stay inspired. This blog since it's birth has been about, well it's been about me - but in the likes of that it has been about my evolution from being too shy to take a stand, or too worried about letting myself be me - which is why this blog was supposed to be my emancipation. Then at 20/21 I decided this was going to be a recollection of Extraordinary moments in my new emancipated life. So here we go -

Well, I will let you in on a not-so-secret secret.  When you want something you should get it. If you want to be somewhere in X amount of time, you should positively seek it out. If you know you are good at something, you should find ways make that your calling - and let people know that THIS is what you're good at and they will hire you. Key to this is :

1. Confidence
2. Knowledge
3. Determination
4. Attitude

Confidence and Attitude may be mistaken as the same thing, but they most definitely are not. Confidence is fine, but if your attitude is not the best then - why on earth would any body on this planet want to hang out with you? Besides me of course, cause I have made friends with one or two miserable souls - with great intentions and they're really fantastic people...haha. Not everyone will give you the time to redeem yourself though.

Positive outlooks = Positive results.
That is the big fat secret - that wasn't so secret at all.

There are people who really don't believe in themselves though, I really had to show someone that its not as corny as it sounds! Just see yourself doing that thing. Do not think about all the reasons why it cannot happen - just think about what matters to you. To give you a hint - what matters to you is how you will get there and overcome all those annoying hurdles.Yes, there are times when you can be "over it", obviously because you're a human being, but don't let that attitude get in the way of what you want.

Moral of the story is:
This thing you want? It is actually right there. If you wholeheartedly believe in what you are doing and what you are and what you can accomplish. You'll be alright.

Peace & Love everyone!

Meh this is all I got for a desk for now in my tiny ass room. So..

Working with it.
Wish I had a real ass desk though...

Drinking a frozen fruits, banana,  soy milk and vanilla smoothie sweetened with condensed milk.

Tasted so giod that I made it twice.

 thrifted pantalons: 15$


Thrifted belt: 10$


Cannot remember the sunnies, but I know I got them from Little Burgundy.














And New lipliner was 3.99 at the superstore from some brand called Milani?
peace.

So, there are certainly days where I feel like - I am WAY too tired and have no energy to do any styles that I want. Also, at the length my hair is at - it is sometimes difficult to just do a quick hair prep. With medium-short 4b/4c/ hair - it isn't as easy as a simple couple of braids. Especially as a student, it's as if time is your enemy and your energy is going to SO MANY things already...

So sometimes I just want to do something easy and quick. I love Headwraps and Scarves for this reason. You can completely hide your head all the while looking great! However, sometimes I get bored of just a head wrap and still want my hair to be a start as well - even if I didn't give it the time of day... whoops.

So The video coming up will be a simple video of what I do when I don't have time to prep MY HAIR. Some naturals have the length to whip it into place with a few bobby pins and some hairbands. But not moi.


 The upcoming tutorial will be quick and easy and just a show and tell type thing.




From start to finish.






 I started with an old and shriveled up Bantu Knot-Out it was on its 4th day or something.. Then parted the front so that I could put the rest in an old stocking cap I made when I was younger in my permed days...Have not  put that on my head in FOREVER! Anyway... So I spritzed some of my Conditioner and Water concoction onto my hair and fingercombed.



Then I used HAIRepair by ORS on my ends to keep them smooth and to prevent breakage. After I used the Curl Enhancing Smoothie by Shea Moisture and applied a semi-generous amount on each section of hair then proceeded to braid. I then went to bed with 5 braids in the front of my head while the back was a complete WTF.
