The Mourning Gurl

                 The Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin it's the bodies defense against free radicals germs radiation and water loss. Today I decided to indulge in some of my favorite products to hydrate smooth and stimulate this layer or whatever. Ok so wait yesterday I went on a target run which turned into a visit to Walmart, because let's be honest walmart tends to have more bang for your buck. While there i picked up some of Dr Teals lavender oil and that's exactly how I ended my evening. So this morning I woke up to the sweet morning du of lavender aroma, I then layered it with some body butter and dove deodorant and proceeded to the laboratory for Skincare. I have been using a Fenty skin care regime since Fenty started a skincare line oh and while at Walmart I got me a lil hydrating face mask to add to the mix.      The Skin and the Scalp should always be treated like a pre Madonna to your body it's the only treatm...

 When you make peace with things it's split tHere, at the Root. So I beg to differ. In "Two Strand Twist" we talked about how important water is to your mind body and soul and since mentioning coffee I Am exposing my twist. Ima take a seat and say "tHere has to be Balance. Their has to be a mysterious motive that we have in mind and maybe to late to take noticed tuh. Like all the ingredients my Coffee has and in Fasting experimenting the body to discover just that. Caffeine Fiend.  Not gonna hold you; all morning I was thinking about breaking my Fast like what if I wanna be the reason. Scrolling on tik tok of course all I see is mukbangs to add to whatever bitch she is. I'm learning not to be afraid of my shadow side, did I mention I'm a Virgo. My name name means Princess, and I wear my Hair like a Crown. I believe our hair carries energy so honestly and truly sometimes it's about maintainance and sometimes I find myself holding on to a vibe. Who was it t...

  Today is day two of my First week monthly Fast I knew it would get tough, but is that because I was thinking it? I made a plan wrote it down and made it plain. Yet and still something gets in the way, as im waiting for the bus I missed it by a slight walk "Gotta be quicker than that". Ok so now im feeling rebellious and think another questionable thought "why not get a snack" 😆 Or did I just find any reason to break my Fast being Thirsty. Just like Hydration fuels the Root it also fuels the scalp hence our Hair. 25% of our hair is made up of water, I learned that early on in my Loc journey when I noticed how much water my hair absorbs when I wash it. Drinking water encourages our tresses to remain most active in that Anagen phase we were talking about earlier in "4c Able Future". Sometimes things don't go as planned and that's ok, because we were able to see things from a different perspective which is important and vital to recovery. So ima jus...

 I don't know what's more Bi polar, Me or this weather. The time is now 9:55 am and in 5 mins it will be 10am, today the weather is supposed to be high of 80 degrees. With the shift between temperatures I found my nephews at Grandma's house coughing and sneezing just spreading germs and being gross. I had to put on my superwoman costume like my aunt would and whip up a holistic remedy passed down for generations. Some Good ol Lemon Ginger Peppermint Tea with a tspoon of honey. A mixture this simple seems to do the trick everytime.  For centuries our ancestors have used holistic remedies to nuture our bodies from the inside out, that includes your hair. Hair growth happens in 4 phases and what you put in your body makes all the difference. The growth phase also known as Anagen like mitosis allows cells to reproduce, divide and build follicles together around and upward the hair shaft; growing at about 1 centimeter per month from the root. This phase can go on continuously fo...

  Today I decided to walk to the Beauty Supply Store. Took a left at the light and thought to myself a Lifestyle Blog about hair would be the creative spark I need in my life. This year I'm offering Braiding services, yeah that's right because name another Protective Stlye... Let's get back to the basics . Hair Braiding has evolved and maneuvered from not only the most common cultural style but a modern protective style. In 2026 hair braiding services focused heavily on low tension protective styling.
