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...

My social media presence has been quite limited over the past two years, to say the least. I've allowed myself to take a step away from one of my dearest hobbies - Creating Web Content; videos, blog posts, poetry, all of it! I could still be found posting, but not in the capacity of a true web influencer... and not even my personal blog was getting attention. I was literally living below a rock! And my entire being was feeling the effects of creativity-deprivation; a case of Withdrawal Syndrome! I just couldn't stay away any longer!
On 24th of February I decided to Re-launch on all social media platforms with a new zeal to Innovate, Create and Inspire. For the past year I have been brainstorming, writing notes, making plans for my reintroduction into the "YouTube World" and ways to increase my social media presence.
I've reached several conclusions along the way, two of them are listed here:
Consistency Is Key! A familiar but extremely truthful statement. I've lived to see the channels of content creators whose video, audio and editing quality was lackluster, grow for the mere fact that they were consistent with their uploads. Their subscribers always had content to watch and always had an active interest in what they created.
Content Is The Padlock! Viewers love to view videos that their creators love making. An enthusiastic creator may be able to grasp the attention of a viewer with simply their kind-hearted, genuine and cheerful personality. Viewers are also interested in trending content. A content creator who desires to grow his channel needs to develop the art of being true to himself, and innovative while considering creating videos viewers want to see.
Loves, I promise you I'll be here to bring you tidbits of my heart, as long as I live and have the capacity to do so! I love creating and inspiring and I love you for not giving up on me! Keep on reading and viewing for more Lessons along the way.
Please do share my content as I share My Journey with you!
Come hang out with me across social media! Links provided in the Blog Menu.
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...
