This seems to be a plaque of our generation, I should be allowed to say that. I have been following Dephne Madyara on YouTube and when it comes to relationships it feels like she is speaking directly to me. Vat n' sit is an Afrikaans phrase  that black people in South Africa,  let me speak for myself,that my family  has used to describe people who live together out of wedlock. And I for one am not innocent from that. We know as Christians that this is a no no and most of us do not like to hear that and we find excuses to continue with it regardless of it's implications. I am not sure which direction is this post going to take, will go with the flow I guess. Where does it all start? I believe these would be the first  typical   reasons that lead us to this... Cut down costs (pay one rent instead of 2 separate rentals) We are going to get married anyway It is temporary until I find a place We have a child so why not Lets see how this goes before we ...

This Afro wig?? YES! I don't know where to start with this. My fro wig gave me an inspiration to write this post. And yes to those whom I may have not admitted that it is a wig please don't give me a stare down. So yeah that is a wig that I made myself with Marley hair and a wig net, got a tutorial from YouTube, just like almost every other thing I do to my hair and took to the challenge. I received a lot of compliments with this unit, a lot of people thought it was my actual hair(I will give props to the Marley hair for that) and I would have to sadly say 'no it's not I got my hair done' -_-. I bought the Marley hair in Bellville for those who live in Cape Town, I bought this hair because I wanted a match with my actual hair. The wig only lasted me 2 weeks because I don't know how to style or take care of the hair, I am sorry I don't have pictures of week 2 that is when I did a braid out on it , I was not impressed with ...

As I explore the YouTube and the blogosphere looking for tips on how to better care for my mane, all you see is ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE written everywhere! Why am I struggling with this? Hey, that was very dramatic but really I don't have this routine thing quite on lock down yet or ever I am not sure. Here is what my typical hair "routine" looks like: I spritz my hair everyday(morning and night) with a homemade DIY spritzer or just still water sometimes Then I apply coconut oil or shea butter wrap with satin scarf(newly bought :D) I do protein treatment once a month, mostly after/before a protective style And this is when I am on my good girl week. I go with what my hair feels like honestly.  For this past month I have been trying to crack this weekly deep conditioning regimen and it has been going well only because I have to wash my hair every week or it gets itchy a lot. And then there is a mid week co wash that I fail to do. I have probably done it...

My bible does not look like this though I could not find a catchy title, forgive me.  I often find myself reading books that contain scriptures from the Bible except the book with the scriptures itself. I think as I am going to write this I will be realising a lot of things, so just bear with me when I shoot out ideas out of nowhere, I just realised for me reading the Bible is difficult, I relate to scripture more when someone is using it and comes with an explanation but when I do it myself I get stuck most of the time. There are times when I would page through and go back to the scriptures I heard being called in church or some book I am reading and already being familiar with then I would read the whole chapter or passage and then understand what the message of God is saying to me. I used to feel guilty for not reading the Bible and   later on  learned that I should not it happens to the best of us(the enemy is the one who is making me feel guilty) and now...

Crochet braids on right.  And the take down on the left (dry looking hair I know) Hey you, Yes my first official post is the "wash day" I don't see why not. I get to share how my not-so special wash day looks like. I had crochet braids on for 3 weeks and my scalp was becoming very itchy so I decided to take them down and thus wash day. And this was an opportunity for me to take pictures of certain steps I take while preparing and washing my hair. I have notice that my hair does not like to be hidden for long no matter how much I try to keep it moisturised, that's another topic on it's own.  After taking my braids down I started to unravel my corn row and de-tangle the hair by each row which was a breeze unlike taking them all down and de-tangling the whole head after. The products that I usually use,  some more than others. These are the products I used on this wash day. Tresemme Naturals Conditioner (detangling,prepoo)(Pick n Pay) Afr...
