Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Every year I leave shopping for father’s day to the last minute because I have no idea what to get. My dad is someone who just goes out and buys it if he thinks of something he wants, which makes holidays hard for anyone who has to buy for him. This year I decided to start looking now and make a list of everything I find to help make picking one easier.

How I curl my hair

Hey loves! So I thought I would finally post the most anticipated video, how I curl my hair. I use a Hot Tools Signature Series in Gold curling iron, size 1.25. I spray my hair first with Aveda Heat Relief thermal protector & conditioning mist. This heat protectant can be sprayed on dry hair and not leave the hair wet like most.

Products,products, products

It’s all about the products! My natural hair tangles easy, is frizzy, and quite honestly looks like a mess when I let it air dry. During this time (quarantine), I am trying not to put heat on my hair everyday. So, using the right products is really important for me to achieve the frizz free, shine, and control I need to help maintain my natural hair.

Quarantine hair, I dont care…or do I?

Are you sick of looking in the mirror and seeing your new growth? I am, I want my blonde back more than ever. I did some research and found a few products that worked for me. These products are not made to completely cover up your new growth, especially for blondes. They are designed to help blend and blur that harsh line you see.

My baptism story

My baptism video

Growing up church was just something that was a part of my routine. Every Sunday we would get up and go to Sunday school. My mother would pack a bag of snacks and activities to keep my brother and I busy during the service. Then after we would go out to eat as a family, that was my favorite part. It was not until I moved to Chicago in 2015 that I really began to explore my faith. I moved for an ex boyfriend, hoping that if I moved there we would get back together…crazy, I know! My aunt growing up would give me a devotional every year for my baptism birthday and to be honest I threw most away. One night I was at my lowest, so alone, so depressed, and felt so unloved. I rolled over and opened my nightstand drawer, sitting right in front of me was the last devotional she got me. I turned it over and the first line on the back was “You are not alone, you have hope. Every minute of every day you are loved.” I remember being like “okay, okay, I hear ya.” I opened it and read almost the entire daily devotional in one night.

My first post!

Hey Loves. I can not believe it, I am writing my first blog post! I have always wanted to start a blog, I just never had the time to sit down and do it. I am someone who needs to research and map out everything before diving in head first. I would say I get that from my mom and papa (what I call my late grandfather).
