Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

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...

2019 #Goals | Part 2

-
This week I'm happy to share what is only just a taste of how I've been tackling goal setting when it comes to my Spiritual & Emotional Well Being. I've already been practicing and thinking of new ways to grow and maintain a healthy relationship with the Love Source, God.



Year by year, I've become further convicted that the enemy is actively working to separate us from God's love but Romans 8:37 says that we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us! Yes! We must understand that sin separates us from God; and sin is disobedience to the law, but thank God for His Grace, with Him we are made strong to stand! We are able to put on the full armour of God when we maintain a close relationship with Him; when we do His will from our hearts!

I invite you to get into serious goal setting mode when it comes to thinking about and planning for your Spiritual & Emotional Well Being. What this means to me can be summed up in the following:

Tips to Setting The Space
  • Choose a quiet place;
  • Either light some scented candles or have your favourite calming essential oil diffusing;
  • Tidy your physical space;
  • Take a relaxing shower or bath;
  • Play some soft peaceful music, or even ambient sounds/white noise that will help you concentrate;
  •  Be totally comfortable in your clothes;
  • Steep your favourite herbal tea;
  • Get your personal Love Source Journal, your Bible, or other personal study materials ready;
  • Get pens and highlighters, even sticky notes!
  • Enter prayerfully into your goal setting sessions, lifting up all your plans to God, asking for His clarity and guidance.
How important is your Spiritual and Emotional Health to you? Where are you in your journey? Still searching? Hoping to get stronger? Wherever you are, I assure you that God is right there with you, never leaving, never forsaking, always guiding! He even led you to my Blog!

The following are some scriptures that came to mind and that may be useful in your study. You can read the entire chapters, and highlight the verses.
  • Romans 8:35-39
  • Romans 6:14
  • Ephesians 6:6, 10-18
  • 1John 3:4
  • Hebrews 13:5,6

Worlds of Curls Product Reviews

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...

My Current Face Moisturizers: Pond's Clarant B3 (February 2013)

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...

Faith In The Journey | Dr. Dominique Baptiste DDS

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...
