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!

    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...

    Die, Chick, Die!

    Yeah...problems. I have cried more in these last weeks in front of people than I ever have.  First last week, I cried because I made mistakes. This week, I cried because I interjected in a confrontation between John and Nadine ( my host parents) and I felt so justified but I suppose the Holy Spirit is working in me, or maybe it was self rising up in me but I felt remorseful about my outburst and I cried in front of them again as I was apologizing to John. Poor John. Poor host  family. I believe crying is a response to the books I've been reading about dying to self. But I cannot discern whether it is the Holy Spirit or self that is causing this emotional response in me. But I am realizing the futility of self and it sucks being unstable. In other news, My hair is a mess. I slept on my twistout last night becasue I didn't want to twist them over again and risk more breakage. One side of my head is all straggly and the other side is full and luscious...

    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...
