Marketing Oneself

I'm that natural sister that believes you need to be judged by the content of your character and not your outward appearance. But something is becoming more and more apparent to me on a daily basis... Ain't nobody looking at your character when they first meet you.

I've noticed that there have been some things about myself that I have admired. I don't admire those things anymore. I don't know if it's maturity or the fickleness that is woman but I loved that fact that I was so simple in many things before. Now I can't stand it. People are always going to judge by outside appearance.

So things I want to change about my outside appearance.
I want longer hair - If this mean I have to give the Koreans more money so that I could where a weave that protects my hair from breakage, so be it. It definitely goes against my want to support black business. Cognitive Dissonance continues.

Wait! I might have found an alternative: http://www.bobsa.org/

I want to wear prettier flat shoes - This means I've got to have prettier feet. Which means I've got to go and pay the Korean money to get my pedicure. SMH. I really do not think this is going to happen. I will just end up doing it myself. I love them Koreans but I can't be giving them all my money.This also means that I got to wear that foot brace nightly to straighten my bunion. The Discipline is out of reach on that one.

I want clothing that is not just cheap but pretty. I will not lie about this one. This may be the hardest habit to break. I rather cheap over pretty any day but I've got to update my wardrobe so that people can respect my position of leadership.

This summer is going to be the perfect to all these things. Hopefully I'm up to the challenge.

Next Post: Self Esteem

I know I said I was going to post on the documentary of Malcolm X. That will be coming to you this Memorial weekend. It will also include some some analysis on President Barack Obama's speech at Morehouse.
Will be trying to update you on My Kwanzaa Celebration within the next 3 weeks. I'm heading home ya'll! See you in Brooklyn June 11th!!!

Ask a question

I ate beef. This kind of beef Not on purpose though. Today, after the sonogram we went to Red Robin, which I've never been to before because...why would I go there? But apparently they have vegan and vegetarian options. Unfortunately, the waiter got my order wrong. I'm eating three bites of my sandwich thinking that it's a real good imitation of beef (LOL, my brothers would probably say that I've been so long with out beef that I forgot what it taste like). I'm three bites in and I get past the spicy in the sandwich to taste the beef. Poor waiter, looks like he's about to cry when he has to do the sandwich again. When he brings it back, there is cheese in it. I have to laugh because the waiter now looks like he really is going to cry as he takes that burger back. When he finally gets it right, he also let's me know that I do not have to pay for my order and as I'm leaving, he gives me a gift card and tells me that the next time I come in the resta...

My hair...out here in the boonies

Here's a hair update... So Korean! Look at that forehead! LML! These are some twists on a lazy Sunday Morning. Can't wait till my eye lashes and eyebrow grows back in so I could start looking less raggedy...ugh. LOL But don't my teeth look gorgeous? I left my home in Brooklyn, NY with absolutely no hair products. I know what you're thinking... AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! LOL. My bag was already over weight I was not looking forward to paying another 100 bucks to satisfy my hair's obsession with moisture. I lie. I did bring one thing with me. Kinky Curly Knot Today... A friend gave it to me and said it would be good for my curl pattern. I usually mix it with Aloe Vera juice and oils from Kimmaytube's recipe but I decided maybe I could use it by itself...super wrong. Apparently my hair has to be super wet to use it. My hair was so sticky when I first used it as a leave in by itself. I felt like it wasn't doing any good in my hair. So I mixed it with olive oi...

My hair and discipleship

Oh man it has been a while since I've wrote in this. So let's start with my hair. Can you tell from the pic that I'm feeling my eyes? Can't wait til I can wear my contacts! Back to my hair! Right now, It's in some mini twists. This morning I washed it with tresseme naturals conditioner (the moisture one) and I left it in all day. Unfortunately, that also did nothing much to retain moisture but create a gel-like hold. The only thing that seems to work is when I put oil in my hair and I pull in back in one . So I just put water, oil and kckt in it from root to tip and I'm going to leave it out and see how my hair keeps the moisture. If this does not work, I'm going to have to invest in a good wig or moisturize every six hours, because this dry climate is going to break off all this hair I'm trying to grow. And yes, I have been watching vids with girls that have ridiculously long hair. SMH! This past weekend, I attended a discipleship training, in whi...
