PATIENCE, PREPARATION, PLANNING

Every single day I dedicate a pinch of my resources to achieving my goal. I'm thickening my skin with each passing day. Yep, folks are gonna talk about what I lost/ gave up/ messed up & whatever else they can conjure up in their convoluted minds. Yep, it's gonna hurt my feelings a little. But, I'll carry a grandmother's words of wisdom in my heart.... "Cream always rises to the top."

remember to shield ya eyes from the envious ones

PREGNANCY PREP.

I believe that women can still be beautiful, sexy, and stylish while pregnant. However, I do think that pre trying to conceive preparation is necessary in most cases. I've noticed that women who maintain themselves best prior to conception tend to look better than those who do not, during and after pregnancy.

The Essentials: 

Positive Attitude, Healthy Diet, Adequate Exercise, Basic Beauty Maintenance, Proper Vitamin and Water Intake.

SKIN CARE

I've struggled with dermatological issues for as long as I can remember. Seriously, I cannot actually remember a point in my life where my skin wasn't having some type of problem. Over the years I've tried some of everything, most only made it worst. The one exception is a combination of Retin-A-Micro & Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. I'm currently trying to find a more holistic healthy approach to healing my skin. I truly understand that the skin is a reflection of internal health so I'm working on it from the inside (i.e what i put in my body)  I'm eating nuts on a daily basis and recently I added coconuts to the menu. Well HONEY LET ME TELL YA, I think I'm seeing an improvement in the texture of my skin.

A CHANGE IS BOUND TO COME

Lately, I've been feeling very overwhelmed. Like there is so much to do and so little time to do it. I feel like my life has been in idle for much too long. Somewhere along the way I stopped making goals and just started living, I lost sight of "my person". I've lost sight of so many things it's a crying shame, literally.

i must keep moving forward

THREE TIPS

1. Type 4 natural hair requires W_O_R_K some days it'll just act the hell up.

2. Be patient with your hair, whenever you're getting frustrated, just leave it alone

3. Water + Castor Oil + Glycerin + Spray Bottle = Moisture

Well I'm still transitioning and it's still taking forever and a day for my hair to grow

SIGNATURE SCENT

I use to have a signature scent... Michael by Michael Kors was the the name but, everything changed one sad day at Restaurant. I was dining with an acquaintance when our trendy waitress strutted her lovely self over to our table...All giddy and such she looks to me and says "Ohhhhh we're wearing the same perfume!!!" Instantly I became annoyed, that's the last time I wore Michael... 7 years ago. Well I've been on the look out for something new ever since.

Here's a list of things I've tried...

Juicy Couture - great for Summer

Lemon No.1999 - after a few hours smells like household cleaner

Amber romance - great for Fall but, they've discontinued the perfume

Enchanted Apple - after about 30 minutes it begins to smell cheap

Love Spell - too strong... too loud

Finally, I've found my short-term-luv although I doubt she'll be around come Summer, she's definitely a keep-pah for upcoming Fall-Winter months....
