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!

    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...

    This Time

    #Makeitwonderful So I'm up on this song right now. It's by Melanie Fiona and it talks about how much more the speaker/singer would put into their relationship the next time around. Take a listen or a watch... I think it's a powerful message for those seeking a second, third, fourth, fifth ... chance at life. Right now, I live with a family in which the husband must have done something bad in the past because no matter how much good he does (and he does a lot of good), it will never be enough. This is my issue. The past was hard to live through the first time. Why would I want to pay for it in every second for the rest of my life? This song speaks of putting the past behind and promising the best for the future. Let go of the past. I can't live with the guilt of the past. I can only pour all of me into a occurring present for a brighter future.  ...But I don’t wanna do it over The first time is gone away You can’t rewrite the past All I can do is say This t...

    I'm Amazed

    Yes I'm taking a picture with my phone. And what? Look at that forehead! The majority my face is my forehead. I don't know what I'm doing with my hair. Think I'll wear my hat tonight. But look at those beautiful teeth! And those eyes! Sweet! Can wait till I grow back those eyelashes and that brow! I need to rock those contacts. Those eyes can not be hidden any longer. Bday is coming up in a month and some days. Y'all pray that my lashes grow back by then. Any who...so the reason why the phone is in the pic. I lost this phone yesterday evening when my friend was dropping me off near the mailbox so I could bring in the mail. Unfortunately, I was clueless to what occurred until I was in the house. By then I wasn't sure if I left it in the vehicle, if it was hidden in one of the bags I take with me to school, or if I had accidentally dropped it on the ground in front of the house or the mailbox. As it was already dark outside, I decided to leave the excursion fo...
