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...
Hey Loves!! Last Friday I indulged is this delectably sweet and tangy facial. I loved it!! It is definitely one of my faves. And no, I didn't eat it! :) Do you suffer from blotchy, uneven skin or do you want an all natural way to deep cleanse skin without drying it out? Then this facial is for you. :) Enjoy! Click on Photos to expand. ❤ Sweet Lime Facial ❤ You'll Need: INGREDIENTS 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar 3.5 Tablespoons Lime Juice (The juice of 3 small limes) 1 Pinch of Sea Salt EQUIPMENT A small bowl Tablespoons Flat Face/Art Brush METHOD 1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, using spoons to add ingredients and all so to mix. 2. Apply to face with a brush that would help it to lay flat and stay to face. The pores of the skin must be opened prior to application of the facial using either a facial steamer or a hot water wash cloth. The opened pores helps the facial to be better absorbed by the skin. 3. T...
Hey Cupcakes! You guys know that I love taking care of my hair and that I always try to get good products that will help it to maintain its health. I love shopping for hair products (especially when I've saved up to do so) but I never shared a Haul with you before... so here it goes. :) I went to Bella Cosmetics and Personal Care located on Wilson Road (to the left of Royal Castle), Scarborough Tobago. It's a relatively new place and their prices are a little on the high side but they have almost everything I wanted... and I just love the set up of everything in the store. They even have a section specially for Natural Hair Care with products from Miss Jessie's, Mixed Chicks, Shea Moisture (Yasss!!), Nene's Secret, As I Am and lots more. I was quite in my glee! I spent too long in there! But I managed to leave with some hair goodies that I've been dying to try. My hair is currently cut in a short style which makes it very versatile as far as wear is concerned ...
