I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth. In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves. It's 'human nature' to first be negative before positive and unappreciative before we see good, so in order to change our thinki...

Get Your Life!!!
Everyone and their grandmamas know that you need water to survive. Water hydrates us, we use water to cleanse our bodies daily and even our homes and clothing! Yeah, we wash the car, the dog and our grimy faces. I don't need to stress how vital water is to our survival. It is something that we've been hearing all our lives and we "know". Yet still, I was like Alice in wonderland when I gave this water thing, a good thought! There was sooo much I didn't know and understand about our daily water consumption needs!
Yes,we must also drink water in order to survive! (You knew that ;)) But I really didn't know exactly how much I should have, and I felt as if I may not have been the only person wondering the same thing. I've heard everyone (preachers, teachers, doctors et al) say that we need to drink 8 GLASSES of water daily in order to keep hydrated, and for our bodies to function well, but I was puzzled. Should an eight year old Elementary energetic child, drink the same 8 glasses of water as a twenty three year old cyclist/athlete? So I Googled (thank God for Google) and my "research" told me that my water intake will depend on the amount of exercise (phisical activity) that my body gets, coupled with my weight. I found a neat Human Water Requirement Calculator (Follow the link and give it a try). I calculated that my body needs 9 glasses of water a day!
I also wondered about the measurements of a glass of water... yes, I Googled again and found that 1 glass of water is equivalent to 8 onces, so it's really easy for me now, to know how much water I need.
Below is a Video of all the other relevant fact about water as it pertains to our needs/
We need water for our Hair also! Find out more:
In the Video I mentioned other Reasons why water is important and even provided great tips to keep our bodies hydrated.
I also provided links to the Juicy info that I provided. Here they are:
❀ You should measure the amt of water that you need daily and place that amount in separate containers (bottles, jugs, etc.) This can also help you to track how the amount of water you drank and still have remaining.
❀ At night I feel thirsty while asleep and will actually wake to drink some water, so I always leave a bottle of water at my bedside.
Hope you enjoyed the Video & the Blog Post
Don't forget that you can also catch me and my latest updates on:
Since I have naturally kinky-curly hair, I decided to try two products from the Worlds of Curls brand to see how they'll work for me. I purchased both the Curl Activator and the Curly Pudding. These type of products are known to either define curls or stretch them out but after reading many product reviews, I've come to realize that the outcomes are different from person to person given the different hair types, techniques of use and styling. Let's Start with the Curl Activator! Worlds of Curls Curl Activator This products claims to be 3 steps in one; Curl Activator, Conditioner and Oil Sheen. It advertises that it's for extra dry hair. I've had this product for more than a year. I purchased a 32oz container, deciding that I'd try all the possible ways to use this product. On the back of the container, it says: Worlds of Curls Curl Activator (for extra dry hair) is another key step in Our Total Hair Care Maintenance System. Worlds of Curls Acti...
Pond's Clarant B3: Normal To Oily Skin For many years I have sworn by this face product. I have been using it to moisturize my face during both the day and the night. It does exactly what it promises. The packaging states that it is a "Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer". It has indeed, cleared up any marks that was left by untimely blackheads. It also states that it "Evens Skin Tone in 2 Weeks and "Reduces the appearance of Dark Spots In 4 Weeks". These statements are also true for me. Some people may be worried that skin bleaching/whitening may occur, this is not likely at all. It is Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic and it Won't Clog Pores. I would recommend that you try a small bottle to determine how much you like it (if it works for you). Here's a pic: I do as the bottle says an apply it to my entire face and neck. I also apply it as a base for any makeup that I may wear. It is lightweight and does not leave my face stic...
We have so much to be thankful for! Yes, "WE". You do, and I do! If you are alive and reading this, God has blessed you in a mighty way. Your being alive is a testimony to His power to protect, provide and keep His promises. It also means that He has given you additional time to live out His purpose in your life. All this is up to you because He has blessed you with the wonderful gift of choice. It's up to you to choose love over hate, to choose positivism over negativity and to choose faith over fear. It's really not an easy road. While we are choosing, we have the enemy to contend with. It's important that we remember that we can't overcome his obstacles alone. God is with us every step of the way, with stretched out hands. Every decision for Him is an acceptance of His hand. The enemy's job is to drive a wedge between us and God and he's had years of studying us, under his belt. To keep the connection between us and God tight, we have to be devot...
