Gotta have it

oh em gee!! I love this look. I'm in need of a long sleeved, u back, slim fit dress. Even though it's not exactly long sleeved I love the pattern so much that it'll have to do. This might be the winner!

Burn baby Burn

Oh Burnt Sugar Pomade.. How I heart thee! When I first became natural things like baggying, sealing, moisturizing, clarifying, and wash and going (I know I should’ve said washing..dont judge me) were all so confusing. I didn’t know what to do, when, how, or what to use. Now I am relieved to say I have my regimen down pact. Granted my routine is for the cold weather so most likely it will change soon, but probably only slightly. I’ll probably post my complete regimen soon along with the products I use in the near future. One thing I believe I’ve mastered is sealing my ends. It wouldn’t be at all possible without the light of my life (sorry baby) ……

Ingredients; castor oil, soy wax, organic virgin coconut oil, mango seed oil, olive oil, unrefined hempseed oil, cocoa butter, broccoli seed oil, and fragrance.

Description; “Similar in texture to an old school 'hair grease,' This blend of oils, butters, and veggie waxes acts as a humectant and protectant for hair, increasing shine to a high glossy sheen and locking in moisture. It's packed with essential fatty acids to nourish scalp, and actually sinks into your hair and skin for a long lasting, non-greasy feeling. It's great for braids, imparts shine and moisture to loose hair, brushes nicely into the hairline for a glossy finish, and adds luster to locks!”

Now this ish right here nigga! This is right HERE!!! GIRL BYE. I love this pomade so much. In all honestly the main reason I bought it is because I wanted to see what it smelled like. I had planned on giving it away once I received it, but Hunnay let me tell you something; you will neva eeeeeevvva eva eva eva catch me without this stuff again. Not Neva. A lot of people say the smell is too sweet and I feel bad for them. This stuff smells like sweet, candy, carmel, deliciousness. Just downright wonderful. It makes my hair so soft. I use it to seal my ends when I twist and I end up with soft, moisturized, fluffy hair. You can find out more about it at oyins website. Check them out I really love them and I love supporting black owned businesses. I’m waiting on my 8oz jar as we speak : )

Love/hate….Or just hate?

For a good year all I talked about was wanting natural hair. I talked myself into how beneficial it would be and spent any extra time I had looking at hair blogs. I talked my poor baby’s ear off about how I was tired of perms and flat, lifeless hair (he's the only one I felt I could really confide in). Ok so I did the BC. I’m natural now ,chemical-free, yadda yadda yadda … so y am I still sulking? Well people I have had long hair for as long as I can remember. Almost everybody I come in to contact with comments on how much they loved my hair (my old hair). And it’s not so much to make me feel bad or change my mind about going natural, they say it in a “matter of fact” tone. To be honest, I miss my hair so much (some could argue that that wasn't really my hair to begin with but w/e).





I really can’t stand having short hair. And no matter how many compliments I get I still can’t bring myself to like it. Now this is not to say that I want to revert back to perms or that I hate myself. Don’t go there. I’m saying that short Hair+ Me= NO GO. I wear hats and scarves every day. Now I will admit I’m privileged enough to have this luxury because I’m in school and don’t have to worry about being presentable unlike if I were in a corporate environment. This only reason this routine has gotten me by all winter the simple fact that no one is really going out. But as the sunshine approaches I can’t help but worry that I’ll miss out on everything if I don’t snap out of this slump. I read about how women miss their TWA’s and wish they would have appreciated it more….. that’s sweet and all but I’m not tryna hear it and I don’t apologize for it. I just want this crap to grow. It doesn’t have to be ridiculously long, but neck length unstretched would be nice. So I guess I’ll be patiently (or not so patiently ) waiting.

Nude Lips

Help me!!!! I feel like its my mission in life to find a nude lip color and liner that works for my complexion. Like seriously people this is my new obsession (1 of many but still a prominent one). I am brown skinned so I think it may be a little difficult but still doable right???? Please say yes.
I’m thinking MAC should be the first place I hit up.
I’m mean sheesh!

Look at Rihannas lips!! And Nia?!?! Pst forget about it (tony Montana voice) I think this is so fresh and “done up” without being “overdone”. Welp that’s it lemme strap on this helmet and strap my vest; its go time. Nude lips on deck!

Spinnin on the bike jus like a CD rom

Last semester I started a cycling recreation class offered by my school. I was really excited to do it because 1. I wanted to change up my workout and 2. I heard from almost everyone that it really challenges you. So in order to step my beyonceamberrosealiciakeys game up, I put the pedal to the metal. I liked it so much that I signed up again this semester. Now I don’t know what it is, but this time around I’m getting my butt kicked! It could be because I have a new teacher (actually 3 b/c we had 2 substitutes ), but I’ve been getting my ass handed to me. Still I enjoy challenging my body and pushing it to the limit. I can see and feel a difference in terms of strength/technique now verses when I first started. Today was one of the hardest days yet. I was sweating AK47 bullets in that piece! Just when I thought my legs would give out on me, my new favorite workout song came on…. “Come here rude boi boi can you get it up, come here rude boi boi is u big enough” aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww shoot now!!!! I damn near fell off my bike tryna wind and spin at the same time. That song gave me the extra push I needed to put in work and I felt so good once the session ended. It really goes to show you what a difference music can make in your workouts. Too bad I can’t customize a cycling playlist, cuz I would have it CRUNK in dere yeeeeeeeeaaaahh oh letS do it! lol
