The Many Levels of My Twist-Out!

I thought it would be fun to show the progression of my fro since so many people loved it! Let me first let everyone know I do MINIMAL work to my hair because I'm lazy. Lol For the past few weeks, I've only used Shea butter on my hair. I melt it down, add oils, & then whip it until it's soft. If you'd like a demo, just ask. So, about this hair of mine…

1. I put mini two-strand twists in my hair and they were in for almost three weeks. Again.. I only used shea butter.

2. The twist out. I simply untwisted my hair.

3. I began to run my hands through my hair to fluff it up. I also began pulling it to stretch it. I took a wide tooth comb and pulled up only from the root for added volume. I then took the blow dryer and stretched my hair by grabbing and focusing the dryer on sections all over my head. Not precisely, but messily. LOL (If that makes sense...lol)

4. I woke up this day and ran my hands through my hair with shea butter. At this point my roots are beginning to shrink to my scalp because I sweat all the time. LOL

5. Same day as number 4, I decided I wanted some added volume. I then took the blow dryer and stretched the top of my hair. This time, precisely focusing on one section of my hair. Leaving the sides and back in its shrunken state. Grabbing smaller sections, I pulled my hair and focused the blow dryer at the root and along the sectioned hair for about 5 seconds on each section. Fluff with my fingers and VOLIÀ!

I hope you gained something from this. If you have questions.... Just ask! BUT, if you ask something I've mentioned in this post.... Well, let's just say reading is fundamental. LOL Enjoy!!

Have you seen your Dreams Lately....?

I was sitting at work trying to think of how to begin my blog. Then, it hit me. Dreams. We all have them, or had them. This is for the people who have not seen their dreams in a while. I was once taught to mentally visualize where you see yourself or where you would like to be in the future. Not just an idea or a concept, but to literally see YOURSELF in that role, in that place, doing that thing or achieving that goal.

I have several dreams. Sometimes it is hard to keep them all in order or make an effort on each. Some different ways to make sure you are achieving your dreams/goals is to have them in front you, in some form or fashion, on a daily basis. Having the following is a good way to start...

1. Journals
2. Dream Boards
3. Sticky Notes
4. Mobile Reminders
5. Screen Savers(Computer or Mobile)
6. Support Groups
7. Et Cetera...Et Cetera

You get my drift. You were given a dream so you can DO IT! 

My Motto: EXCUSES ARE TOOLS OF THE INCOMPETENT WHICH CREATE MONUMENTS OF NOTHINGNESS! THOSE WHO SPECIALIZE IN THEM ARE SELDOM GOOD IN ANYTHING!

What is stopping you from starting right now? A few of my hangups were fear, waiting for perfection, having the idea that I wasn't good enough, doubt or just giving up. I have come to realize that none of those things are moving me into the direction I need to go. If I continue to let these hinderances block my success, then what is my purpose? God created you with a dream in your heart and you are to follow that dream with all of your heart. IF you are reading this and you are not spiritual, then do not waste your life wishing you could or hoping that one day you might. Each day passes us by and the only thing holding us back from our desired and amazing future is US! If I accept the idea that NOTHING will change, then NOTHING will change. You have to take a step. 

I am taking a step towards my dreams my creating this blog. I want to uplift and encourage. I want to show people that YOU CAN BE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE AND THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SOUL. Helping people to understand their worth and that YOU can create YOUR OWN happiness. 

So I ask you again, Have you seen your Dreams Lately? If not, then I want you to dream again. Pull out a piece of paper and a pen and DREAM again. Then, I want you to think of something small that you can start with. Success, personal self growth, reaching your dream/goals takes one day and one step at a time. Have patience and don't be so hard on yourselves. You will see movement if YOU move. 

Comment below your first step.
Until next time Level reachers.......
