    Sometimes we don't feel like we're #beautiful enough without the "extra." There's nothing wrong with wanting to play around with a little #color here and there for fun...but simplicity is fierce too. ;)

Walgreens Buy 1 Get 1 Free Sale

5/27/2014

    I just fought some serious rain coming back from #Walgreens lol.  I found out a few days ago about the Shea Moisture Sale going on at the store, so of course I had to pick up a few items lol.  I already knew that I wanted to repurchase the Purification Masque since I ran out of mine about a month ago. As I've mentioned on my product/regimen page, this product has been working great for my hair more now than before. :)  I haven't tried the conditioner out before, but have heard great things about it. :)

    Both of my boys have really dry skin so I wanted to try another lotion from Shea Moisture.  Honestly, I like seeing ingredients that I can understand and pronounce in my products.  I'm in a phase where I really want to do better by my family's skin as well as my own. Shea Moisture's products fulfill that desire for me. :)  We've never tried two lotions out before, but I #LOVE the Coconut and Hibiscus Body Wash and body lotion (that I now use on my face as a moisturizer in place of my GNC Vitamin C Cream.)


What's your favorite Shea Moisture hair and body product?

    I finally decided to get a darker shade (Cappuccino 410) of foundation to use with my staple Caramel 400. It definitely helps with the tan I'm quickly acquiring from the approaching summer. I wish I had done this sooner! 


    BTW, tomorrows vid will be my everyday go to makeup look. (However, I didn't have the extra foundation at the time.) #revlon #colorstay #makeup #skincare

    Good Morning!!!  God is good!  Don’t forget to give Him praise! :D


(KJV) Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8-10

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Dry/Damp Bantu Knot Out

5/19/2014

1 Comment

 
    Bantu knot outs can be a tricky style to achieve.  Sometimes they just don't come out right lol!   Too tight, not dry the next day, curls going every which way, and so on. During my journey thus far, I haven't done this style very much but I'm really glad I decided to give it a go once again. I love the way it turned out!  It's more curly and less "crimpy" like my usual twistouts.  I'm thinking I need to do this style more often to switch things up!  Besides, it's really quick and easy to do so why not? :D
    Today, I share how I do a dry bantu knot out using Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey and Darcy's Botanical's Sweet Cocoa Bean Curl Smoothing Cream. I hope this helps!

    I wanted to see if anyone could guess what type of style it was especially since the pattern can look similar depending on lots of variables. Well, there were some really great guesses lol!  It turns out that whoever guessed bantu knot out was correct! Tomorrow's hair #tutorial will be a dry/damp#bantuknotout! See you there! :D

We're Living To Live Again! :D

    We're living this life to live again! The ultimate goal is to make it to heaven! So live right, it counts! ;)

    (KJV) 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 13-18

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Hot Head Microwaveable Deep Conditioning

5/12/2014

1 Comment

 
    Deep conditioning is an important part of any hair care journey... or at least it should be lol.  In my case, I have never been the best with keeping up with my deep conditioning sessions. But alas! That may be changing since I have pretty much no excuse not to do it.  Enter, the Hot Head!  

  
  The Hot Head is a microwavable deep conditioning cap designed to trap in heat for a better deep conditioning experience.  The cap is very unique as it is designed with flaxseeds!  (Who knew flaxseeds could have so many uses!)  

http://www.thermalhaircare.com/
Coupon Code for 10% off: NATURAL10 (through the month of May)
etsy.com/shop/ThermalHairCare

Pros

*  Easy to use and store

* Convenient

* Cute, reversible designs! (Hard to choose one lol!)

*  20-30 minutes of warm moist heat (This is the amount of time I usually prefer spending for deep conditioning, so it works out!) 

*  Gentle on the hair



*  Effective!  My hair is definitely deep conditioned after I use this.  It feels awesome!

Cons

* A little pricey $29.95

* Snug fit may be a little uncomfortable (an adjustable band would be awesome!)

* The product states that the heat it holds should last for 30-45 minutes.  However, for me, it lasts less than that. 



Directions For Hot Head Use :)

    Happy Mother's Day!!!

(KJV) Proverbs 31 verses 10-31

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
