You Should Smile More....: I'm Making a List, and Checking it Twice.

You Should Smile More....: I'm Making a List, and Checking it Twice.:        My home girl did it up! And yes Monkey see, monkey do, Here is my list:
Hair: As you can see, my hair has been straightened with heat ( Birthday gift to myself) So what I have been doing is oiling my scalp weekly just to give it the appearance of moisture. After or before Thanksgiving, I plan on washing my hair (praise Jesus!). And this is my list to promote my healthy hair and hair growth
  • Protective styles
  • Drink Water (Uber important)
  • Spritz 2x a day with water and oil (maybe essential oil)
  • Cover my ends (Scarves, hats, etc.)
  • Deep Condition 1x a month
  • Cleanse scalp once a week and oil (Witch Hazel and some qtips)


Face Skin: I love my skin! Well the skin on my face! I think it is one of my best features. So I got to upkeep! And I can start this right now!
  • Sleep with Olive oil on skin as needed
  • Lemon treatment once a week (simpler than it sounds: rub lemon on my face)
  • Wash face every night 
  • Use exfoliating gloves as needed
  • Moisturize with Lotion Nightly/Morningly (LOL new word)
  • Drink Water

Body: I'm the type of person that will exercise for like a month, get the 4 pack and just stop. I'm also the person who will plan meals and eat well for a week, eat like a pig at other times and then not eat at all at other times. Clearly not consistent. So here is my plan.
  • Exercise once a day (will start when my hair is curly again, LOL)
  • Fast once week (to give my body rest and for Jesus)
  • Eat breakfast like a king and have at least one other meal in the day (SMH)
  • Drink the Barley Max (Yes mom it's still there)
  • Drink water bottle once a day (work it up to a refill also)
  • Refrain from binge eating/sweets/junk/gmo


    • Will update later with more info. But right now I got to get to bed. Good Night World!

    Wonderful Children

    Bless my heart! Their ruder than when I first believed and ridiculously bright. Too bad intelligence does not mean wisdom. Can you believe this child in front of my face decided to kick another child, make him cry and think that it was OK for her to do that? She has lost it. Then, there are those who think their too smart to listen to any adult and they find joy in talking back to adults. Did someone say corporal punishment? No I would never do that... Any who...the Lord is good who promised, and these children do not determine my happiness. Praise Jesus! Keep my lips from guile Lord!

    What is Kwanzaa?

    I thought that it should be important for me to do some research on Kwanzaa before I went all full throttle Kwanzaa mode. Kwanzaa is a holiday created by  Maulana Karenga . While secular in nature, it does celebrate the cultural heritage on Black people in America. The Seven core principles of Kwanzaa are: Umoja  (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Kujichagulia  (Self-Determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. Ujima  (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together. Ujamaa  ( Cooperative Economics ): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together. Nia  (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to...

    Testimonies Part 3: Boring Testimony Please!

    My friend and fellow volunteer teacher, Mrs. Lawrence is a doll. She was telling me the other day about a retreat she attended in which a lady mentioned that she wanted all her children to have boring testimonies. She explained that boring meant that they don't leave God to have an adventure in the world but they spend their whole life serving God. Isn't that what we all want for our children? Safe lives? Let me not downplay the testimony of someone who never dabbled in worldliness or was enslaved to sin. It's not boring. Being used by God is a good thing. We're so warped and twisted that we think the world has something better to offer. So we go out in the world, waiting for God's "big reveal" and then if he does, we devote the rest of our life to Him. But if we don't get that "big reveal"? Then our life would be a testimony to the power of the Devil. Personally, I like working for God and to know I'm in His will. It's assuring a...
