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...

During one of my monthly Personal Consecration Weeks, God guided me to resources that were aimed at refocusing my relationship with Him; refocusing my life in general. As prayer and scripture reading, even Google searching progressed, I quickly realised the importance of taking the time to evaluate my entire life! Come to think of it, this is the ideology I had when I first started My Personal Consecration Week! It is necessary to review your spirituality, your health, your weaknesses and strengths, your priorities, your financial decisions, your progress.
#RenewMyMind came alive when I read Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right sprit within me." This scripture shined light on the need for my heart to be cleansed. I thought of ways in which, my heart, that is, my mind, would have strayed from God's plan and purpose for me. I also thought of belief systems and habits that needed realignment with His word.
I learned that most times when scripture speaks about the 'heart' it refers to the mind, the thoughts. In this light, Proverbs 4:23 gives further direction. It admonishes, "Keep they heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." Wow!! God's word is sweet. He really wants us to be mindful about the thoughts we have, the things that get our attention, the influence we surrender to. He wants us to be diligent; he wants us to be careful and conscientious, to be intentional about our thoughts.
Renewing My Mind to me is firstly rejuvenating my spirituality, followed by giving fresh life to my goals; being open minded and seeking a deeper understanding of what's important to me. It is also ensuring that I actively seek positivism and filter the negative influences. It's not that I will be unaware of the world, but that I will choose how much of the world controls my thoughts and eventually my actions.

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...
