Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Water Fasting ?

I go to the gym quite often now and when I get there I work my butt off. I make sure I leave the gym after doing ALL the machines I promised myself that I'd do. And I repeat the machines three times and sometimes four times , if I still have time.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SABOTAGING MYSELF.

It really doesn't produce any results so I figured I should stop fooling myself , so I go to the gym even if I am tired AF or whether it's boiling hot. I make sure that I go there and do whatever I promised myself to do. I love how my body burns when I'm on the treadmill , the feeling is worth a million dollars. I never thought I'd be so inlove with the gym , I spend about 4 hours at the gym and it's heaven .

Yoga is bae.

I love yoga fam. However the cobra pose has probably got to be the worst pose ever I totally dislike it but my favorite is the crescent lunge. There are still more yoga poses to do and I am so excited.

My scalp massages are going quite well. I sometimes forget doing them because I'm busy with my plans for 2018 , keeping fit and so on. But when I do remember to do my scalp massages I do them for about 10 minutes.

And I'm always tired these days so sometimes after wash day I moisturize my hair and seal in the moisture and then it shrinks into a cute little fro , thats what I do when I feel super lazy , and of course I will get knots and tangles but I'll detangle on wash day or when I moisturize mid-week. If I'm not feeling lazy then I'll do flat twists and leave them in for the whole week untill wash day.

And I saw this whole "water fasting" thing on YouTube and I think I wanna push myself and see if I can survive without eating food for 7 whole days. .  . I don't know FAM I'm kinda nervous about it. And I figured that I'm not the best person to explain it , therefore I will provide you with a link to a blog that I feel explains it much better. I'm not sure if I REALLY want to do this , I have to sleep on this though.

I'm not entirely focused on my hair anymore I think my new obsession is yoga 😍 .

This update is kinda long . However to summarize it , I'm enjoying keeping fit.

And if you also like to sweat the fat away at the gym but your scalp tends to smell funky during or after your workout then I got you with a simple post about how I prepare my natural hair for the gym. Check it out right here .

The Urge To Color My Natural Hair...

If you have been following me for a while then you probably know that my hair has been through a lot. I have had a terrible dye job and there was   too much damage so I had to cut my hair and go back to a TWA, my hair grew back eventually and I had to cut it back into a TWA again because I still had the rough, damaged and porous ends. My hair is growing consistently now and I have incorporated protective styles and I have minimal breakage and it's great. I love it however I have been going through Instagram and I always see all of these pictures with people and their beautiful dyed natural hair and that is enough to make me want to run to the nearest supermarket and buy some dye and color my hair... then I remember what I went through with the first dye job... My first dye job was terrible but I love switching up my hair. I love experimenting. I don't ever want to feel tired with my hair. I love my jet black hair, don't get me wrong, however sometimes I just want a po

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri
