Stepping out my comfort zone with my podcast!
New journey is activated. Last night I took the courage and step out my comfort zone. Starting my own podcast is something that ran through my mind for a while now. Through my blog I already share my journey, but the idea of a podcast didn’t leave my mind. So I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and just do it. With my podcast “The Mindful Journey Talk” I’m going to talk about my experience with certain topics that I have dealt with. This is just another way for me to connect with you ladies. Here is my first episode, welcoming you into the new year and standing still how…

She ain’t got no money in the bank!
There I was all happy about my new chapter. Getting my own place back in 2016 was one of the things that was on my prayer list. Finally my own place, just for me. I was ready for that chapter to happen. Learning how to be more responsible and be fully responsible for taking care of my finances. Well let me tell you, the finance part really slapped me in the face. “From good to bad” Having my own place was really a blessing and now living on my own for 5 years, I can really say it was necessary for my personal growth, but I also had my struggles…

July; retouching my new growth with ORS No-Lye Relaxer
It’s time for the creamy crack! I’m fighting with myself when I’m styling my hair. Being 20 weeks post relaxer is getting exhausting. With my next stretch I’m going back to 16 weeks of stretching. As always for retouching my new growth I used ORS No-Lye Relaxer. Let’s start the process I don’t like for my new growth to be bone straight, so I manipulate the relaxer by adding a product. This time around I used oils instead of a light conditioner. To be honest I was out of conditioner, that’s why I added oils to the mixture. I used 1 cup of Olive oil and 1 cup of Castor…

I cut my relaxed hair at home to bring back healthy hair!
In my previous post I mentioned that I was dealing with breakage especially in my crown area. My hair was growing, but the length in middle was not matching up.

The combination of breakage + split ends = NOT THE BUSINESS “Reality slapped…
