Monthly hair update!

Hey, I apologise for being quiet for a bit , I have been under the weather but worry not I am here an ready to mingle with you lol. practising my hand at photography As you know I put up a P. O. A for this month and I just wanted to let you know how it has been going. So the plan was to wash my hair 3 times a week like the doctor ordered and I have been successfully doing that for the past 3 weeks. Yey! It has not been easy though be warned. The first week I was struggling with styling my hair for the following day because then I would have to wait for it to dry and by the time that happens I would be exhausted and would go to sleep. So I would rock the fro in the morning to work. I did not like it, my hair was tangling and knotting too much.  The first day I would wash with the medicated shampoo, 2nd day wash it would be with moisturising shampoo and 3rd day wash would be an ACV rinse and then I would still add some rinse-out conditioner for about 5 minutes. Rinse all ...

Giving up on God?

Hello Child of God , Bizarre title right?Yes but I know that most of us out there get stuck at this corner and that happened to be me since last night. Imagine spending your birthday(today) battling with yourself about your faith, the devil is a liar shame! I think I have some form of depression though I do not want to get diagnosed. It comes out in a form of anger and silence from the rest of the world. So I was having one of those episodes of impending doom, I guess to the point that I wanted to give up on my faith. Yes, two weeks after getting baptised this is what happens? God where are you? He was there trust me I just did not want to talk to him. I spent the whole night yesterday fighting with God and fighting with myself and this huge overwhelming emotion of negativity. I could not understand that I spent the whole day meditating on his word and this is the end result of it? I felt defeated, praying before I sleep was just like saying good night to your husband witho...

Anger!

Hello Child of God, Hot fueled anger! One of the most passionate things you have ever felt is anger and it is so nice, don't lie, it's best to admit it. Okay it is nice to me but at the same time I know it is not something that should linger for long but now that is where the problem is... Most of the time I write as I feel or as I go through something so that I can deliver the message fresh as it is. I never really knew that I am an angry person until one bad relationship had to happen. So I guess the right buttons were not pushed up until that moment, I was always a person who had the "I am calm, cool and collected" mantra on replay in my head. So that one bad incident happened and I exploded in anger, I did not know what to do but my anger ended up in a week long obsession and mutterings that were not helpful both to me and the person who made me angry(we need to be careful of this because our words hold a lot of power). I had known somewhat about Jesus but mo...

September POA

Wassup wassup, I have been bombarding you with hair haven't I? This is one last time(it's not), please allow. I hope you are doing fabulous! And having a fab start to your week! As you saw from the last post I am suffering with low porosity hair, I still need to make sure though but I am convinced I am. There are various tests you can take that will tell you what porosity level is your hair. So since I am in this situation with my hair. I found out low porosity hair is good actually just that the ends tend to up being porous. I know my ends are porous because of the colouring on them and they are the oldest part of the hair. Now into the plan. This month I plan to achieve some form of maximum moisture lol. I plan to follow the doctors orders by washing my hair 3 times a week I am going to shampoo twice and then vinegar rinse in between Conditioning with daily conditioner (my tresemme naturals) deep condition on weekends as usual so it is once a week wash days wi...

Dealing with Low Porosity hair?

Hey lovelies, I have been researching a lot on porosity and have found that it should be the main thing to type one's hair with. The main for us kinky girls or let me rather say people with dry damaged is to achieve moisture thus have soft hair and this is when porosity kicks in. I am not going to go into detail with porosity if you want to learn about it, type in Google search hair porosity you will be flooded with all things porosity like this  you can take a quiz for that here too. I am suspecting I have low porosity hair but the searches are telling me something else. With low porosity hair, your hair does not absorb moisture it shuts everything out. So to be able to get moisture through you have to aid it with hear. I guess that's why my hair loves heat, I mean it feels so after blow drying and I am guessing that shows my products have been absorbed. So if that's not an indication that it is low porosity I don't know what is. Another thing is that it...

No heat damage! Update

Hey you, Shrinkage is so real, but it is not in vain! I hope you had an awesome weekend. So did I. We remember that last week I had straightened my hair and tried to keep it in that state for a week. I will be telling you how I maintained it, if I got any heat damage and include some products I used when  I washed it. If you have been following me on Instagram then you would know that I was not doing much with my hair. I just kept it in a halo like flat twist around the perimeter of my head for the whole week except on Friday where I wore it out and it did not revert(to my surprise). During this time I noticed that my hair was soft and fluffy, I could not really run my fingers through but I could feel my scalp. I also noticed how dry my ends were, they felt brittle, so then I applied some castor oil on them for the last 3 days of the week which kind of helped. I could not stretch it any longer because my scalp was starting to itch and I was feeling sore bumps on it. ...

Tribute to my God

Hello Child of God, It feels like I am neglecting my other blog for this one lately. Today I got baptised(04/09/2016). Yes you may have thought that I have been baptised already and I am sure a lot of people are going to be confused and some happy for taking this decision and going through with it. I feel exhilarated, jittery, I want to jump on walls. I want to shout out his name on the roof tops. I have not stopped smiling ever since I left church. I am excited, too much, I am holding back tears. I cannot think of any other day to write this. To the Lord of Hosts,the Sovereign Lord glory be you. I am in awe of all that you are ever since I have accepted you in my life and today marks that. Today marked how much I want to do this for you, that I am willing to trust you with my all.Today made it official that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Praise be the name of Jesus.  Philippians 3:14 King James Version (KJV) 14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high callin...

Fear. A destructive obstacle!

 Hello Child of God Truth be told I never thought I would get the strength to take this path, but here I am blogging about my journey with Christ. Taking Bible study plans and posting pictures of scriptures on Instagram. Mind you when I post these pictures I still have a pang in my heart that wants me to withdraw but then I challenge that feeling and exalt Jesus instead. And this all boils down to being obedient and trusting in God that he is leading me in the way he wants me to go. This has been burning in my heart for quite some time but I was just so afraid to take that step, to take that leap and be Christ's ambassador. I am still embracing that, I am still battling daily to embrace that.. If God is calling you to come forth for him, you are going to experience a lot of conflicting feelings. You are going to be faced with some serious decision making, but it is a very simple choice to make yet holds such a weight and yields a huge impact in ones life. And these conflicting e...

Getting Sidetracked!

Hello Child of God, I hope that you are having a blessed week and not getting side tracked from God's presence as you go about your daily life. I am going to try and give you some pointers in this post about when you are getting side tracked and how to overcome it. As a Christian you should already know that the enemy is always out to get you, laying traps along your narrow path to distract you and we need to be vigilant of this. When I first thought about writing this post I was getting sidetracked conveniently so lol. I was strengthening my prayer life by kneeling every night to pray before I sleep and playing music that brings me to that place of worship and praise, and this was happening every night for almost about 2 weeks. I was enjoying my new routine, the presence of God and peaceful sleep(I can't sleep well or long if I have not prayed). And recently as well, I was getting side tracked from fasting. I was giving myself reasons that I am not healthy enough, my letha...
