Products I would love to try out

Hello Natural, How you doing! It is a long day or week this week!  I find myself pondering on the aisles of hair products every time I go to a Dischem or a Clicks. And when I am also browsing through websites I would secretly admire certain products and put them in my imaginary wish list. I thought I should share those products with you. I realise that I love conditioners and always willing to try a new one. This would also help me keep track and work as an actual wish list.  First of is Argan Secret Clarifying Shampoo , I came across this from another blogger , since I was curious about clarifying shampoos and when I saw that I can get it at Dischem for R100, I had to go make sure that my Dischem had it. Shampoos last me a lifetime because I wash my hair once a week(yeah I have not gotten pass the twice a week wash yet) and I don't use a lot as I dilute it as well. So will have to finish all my shampoos first before I get to this one. And then there is Argan Oil H...

Flat Ironed my Hair!

Wassup you! It has been a minute, has it not? I was having a somewhat unpleasant week if I may, but I hope yours was much more pleasant than mine.  So I decided to straighten my hair out of the blue, I do not know what got into me. It's YouTube, I was looking at silk press videos and they led to flat ironing natural hair and then blow drying natural hair lol. My first take was blow drying my hair, which I don't have pictures off (sorry!). I did that because I was going out and did not know what to do with my washed wet hair. I did not do anything special on my hair as I just cleansed it with some ACV and applied coconut and avocado oil on my strands. So I blow dried my hair using the tension method, I have a bristle brush but I was just sceptical to use it. I then tied my hair in a bun and kept it for almost 2 days, I straightened it at the end of day 2. Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray Hair brush I would advice that you do not take a leap of faith like I did. ...

Retaining length!

www.cravingyellow.com/home/biggest-length-retention-secrets-4c-hair Hey lovlies, That seems to be growing on me lol, I trust that you are having a warm Saturday. Before you go off starting your day let us talk about length retention. Length retention, is keeping the length that you have grown without having it break off, the tip[s off your hair will be intact. Most people(black women) seem to think that their hair does not grow past a certain length or it cannot grow at all and this is very misleading. While doing my research I have come across a lot of people with kinky coarse hair that has grown up till their waste and that got me thinking how misinformed we've become. You will find that it took them about more than 2 years to notice considerable length with their hair and that goes with trial and error. So first thing we should know is that hair grows unless you have a medical problem. You hair is always growing, and if you cannot see that it would be because you put ...

Feeling Weak

Hey Child of God, Yesterday was not the best of days I was having this week, I could barely pull off a genuine smile. I just need your insight /help/clarification on what you'll be reading!. I have been having sleepless nights for the past week, literally get into bed and close my eyes and then I feel like I am in a space between but I am more aware than I am asleep. And this has been adding to my exhaustion daily, and today is one those days and I cannot seem to pull it together much! Being in this state for this long has made me feel sort of weak, I do not want to fight. I just want to take refuge instead. My prayer life has not been disturbed in away, my worship and praise are very much at the same standard if not more. I strive to get those involved as much as I can and always with a sincere heart. God knows what I am going through because I tell him, besides him being Almighty, all knowing and powerful, I let him know. Is it wrong to not want to fight? Jesus told us to ta...

Obeying God's word

Hey child of God, This is well overdue since the week is nearing it's end. I always want to keep you in the loop. I hope you have been having a blessed week and trust that you will have an equally blessed weekend. This may be a touchy subject for others if not most and I am going to give my experience and testimony regarding this matter. It is very important to know that once you have made the decision to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour that you are to keep his commands -John 14:15 "If you love me,keep my commands.- and that is being obedient. It took me a very long time to know this and to understand this. I hope this comes at a convenient time to save you from that struggle but everyone's journey is always different. The Lord has called on me many times to obey his word on certain things in my life, I did not have to cut everything off all at once but I weaned from most things and I am still a work in progress. God did not expect me to change over night my...

Take time to know Him/Her

Hi, I was watching Me Before You, it is a romantic movie about a young woman and a young who fall in love over a period of time and sadly the man decides to take his life because he cannot remain living as a paraplegic. Sad for that man but however that is not my focus about this. The way I spend so much time with God these days I hear him speak to me in everything that there is out there, I hope that he blesses you with this gift, I don't know what to call it. Surely you have to spend time in his presence to hear his voice among the loudness. As Christians we know that we are not to be engage in sex or anything regarding that subject until marriage. Besides it being a command from God it really does protect us from a lot of things that you do not have to believe to see that.  So as I was watching this movie I noticed how these two people were spending time together getting to know each other, without any physical contact. It showed me how much attention to detail was paid to...

Bible Reading Challenge Testimony!

Hello child of God,  This week has taken it's toll on me but that won't stop me from praising the most high God, I hope yours has been good to you. It's time for a little testimony don't you think? If you have been following this blog then you know I have been doing a Bible reading challenge whereby I have to read the Bible daily.  I have achieved this by signing up for a bible study plan on Biblegateway.com ,  check them out if you can. What I really like about this is that I can listen to the scriptures(I do this often), and read on the days that I have missed, on Monday I'd be catching up the weekend readings. My testimonial is that reading the Bible has helped my prayer life a lot. I find that my prayers are authoritative and strong. I don't doubt anything I say in prayer and some of the things I declare from scripture itself. Not only that but this has brought me closer to God,  it draws me near to him. I'm now on Jeremiah,  started from Ps...

Dry itchy scalp? Skin Health Awareness!!

Hello beautiful peeps, It has been a goodish week. , it has been a good week let's show some genuine gratitude right! I am feeling very tired as I write this but have got some surprising news for you! Getting straight to the name of this post. Do you suffer from a a dry itchy scalp that does  not seem to get better no matter what you try? All the hair foods and Sulfur8's in the world cannot even help, I mean they give you a day or two's relief but the condition does not get any better. And then you start noticing some thin flaking just to make matters worse but that is what comes with a dry itchy scalp. I took my kid to the dermatologist during the week and got myself checked out. I was just curious about this scalp that does not get any better not matter what I try, to only find out that I have eczema :O. Yes I was shocked a bit, I did suspect that there could be a serious problem but not eczema the rest of my body is ok no sign at all, no dry patches, no flares noth...

Prayer Everyday Every Second

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Hello, hello, It has been a while, I know but if the Spirit has not driven to write then we might have these long breaks for us to reflect on what we learn and work on that. But this particular post came to me around last week , just that I was busy with an exam. I hope God has been good to you as usual and that you are having a blessed weekend. I am not sure if the title best fits what I am going to share with you, it is prayer pointers I have for someone like me who is just enjoying the presence of God in their life and wants to constantly maintain that and go beyond.  So this came to me immediately after I had finished praying in the bus on my way home. A thought came to me that we should pray whenever the opportunity arises. First of all you should have a routine, if you don't I would suggest that you start working on it now. You can start with morning ...

My hair does not like braids

Old pic, blowed out fro Hello lovlies, Yeah that is an in thing lovlies! Please forgive me for my absence last week, I had an exam to prepare for but we are here now and hope that you have been having a good week and will be having a blessed weekend. Looks like Friday's are posting days now. So yes my hair does not like braids, sounds odd don't it? Remember these two post here and here .  After all that I was excited to see the overall growth and state of my hair despite achieving the best moisture. I realised that the mid section of my was brittle and dry actually after I washed my hair and it did not have much growth compare to the rest of my hair. I would like to believe that it received the same amount of attention as the rest of my head but I think it was also exposed more as it will lie at the top of the rest of the braids (I wore them down all the time).It could be possible that the rest of the hair suffered the same thing but just not as bad and defined...
