So I have gotten super lazy with my blog and if there is anyone still out there Hi!!!!!!!!! OK so I am eight months into my natural hair transition phase and I'm at that point where i just want to chop off all my relaxed ends. I have reached a point where I like my natural curl more than the straight ends which is a big deal because for years it was the opposite I always got totally upset when my new grow would pop out and make my sleek mane frizz out. I'm embracing my natural texture yayy!!!!!!!! However my Mother is totally anti-fro which is making me more and more want to just chop all off and say Ha in your face I do what I want lol...I'm 21 and I do no recommend sassing your parents, its not worth it in any situation.
Anyway next week I'm gonna get some shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and curl and styling milk soo I am super excited to try it.
Youtube videos about natural hair are amazing and totally helpful!!!! I am addicted
Besides natural hair journeys I've been on a makeup kick and youtube again is fueling my urge to own everything under the makeup sun from brushes to blushes lol I made a rhyme.
I have lists of stuff that i need and this lady needs two jobs just to begin to think about buying all the products I want :(
I'm gonna go totally broke lol but oh well SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!
Till next time lovelies

New lifestyle
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! I have not kept up with my plan :( hopefully I'll get back on track soon, I still eat my oatmeal every morning but the exercise is still none existent...
So my lovely friend and I decided we are going to be each other's cheerleader and buddy in a weight loss programme cause according to her we're not fat we're just so sexy it overflows and I agree totally! We don't want to be skinny B's we just want to be healthy curvaceous chicas!
We live by this rule ----->
So as a rule of thumb we're going eat less CRAP and eat more FOOD

We live by this rule ----->
So as a rule of thumb we're going eat less CRAP and eat more FOOD
- So far it's oatmeal for breakfast ( I need to add some fruit with this, maybe a banana)...if not whole-wheat toast and egg whites.
- About two hours after that have a snack probably some nuts like almonds or yogurt, I like Greek with fruit.
- Then after that it's lunch time! Now we're trying a not meat except fish deal because I know for a fact when I tell myself NO, that's exactly the point where all my will power flies right out my burglar proofed window but I'm trying. Don't get me wrong I love fish and I can do the vegetarian but when I see a nice piece of pork or chicken or a juicy hot dog yum! LOL ok so for lunch I like baked salmon, a starch and something green, I'm partial to cassava and potato as my starch, rice and pasta come second... I love lentil loaf its my favourite vegetarian dish ohhh and vegetarian lasagne.
- I'm still tryna figure out what's going to be my afternoon snack but I try to have a sandwich for dinner to keep it light, I love whole-wheat toast with lettuce, cheese and tomatoes the only thing is it's hard for me to limit that to just one so I usually do three slices of bread to make a double-decker which is better than 2 sandwiches (my justification, it's what makes me sleep at night)
- And we're not eating after six NB 6:00pm rolls around real fast, I chew gum so I won't eat. You can also drink like a cup of green tea just no food.
Drink tons of water.
If Anyone has tips that they want share, please do!

Great Adds to the New School Wardrobe
Hey!!
Soo school reopens in about three weeks and I just got a ton of new stuff to wear but I'm in one of my that's too nice for school moods... I mean having to travel to school, plus having class all day and walking through grass and rain and sun and maybe even laying in the grass doesn't exactly excite the ohh lets wear that new cute top gene in me...It's usually the sleep more rush to pick an outfit mood that hits me on a regular. Come on people lets be real here unless you went to University mainly to find your spouse we all have those I really don't care days...
So I say the easiest thing to do is jeans a tank or tee and a sweater...I've recently updated my style from sweaters to pashminas or shawls, they keep me warm in class and they spice up my outfit, and its way easier than lugging around a sweater all day especially in Trini bi-polar weather. They come in all colours, patterns, they are by far my new favourite accessory.
Check out these cute ones from Wonderful World, they are really not that expensive either... Cute, Inexpensive and Functional that's always a WIN
OMG I just got the best shoes ever for school!
So everybody knows about Crocs right those highlighter colour sandals that look like you could strain rice and noodles in if you lost your colander...Well they have evolved and I must say I am impressed...though Crocs haven't abandoned their original design they've added to their collection with shoes that someone older than single digit ages can be proud to wear plus it comes with all the comfort of Crocs technology with way more style... Even the name I can get behind, they're called the Sexi Flip <3
I have to say these shoes are soo comfy and they look great and are light, Crocs really did a great job! Another WIN
So one of my friends thought I should add to this post lol her bright idea was to talk about all the stuff in my bag...now that might take a while since in my bag I carry basically my whole life...
I'm one of those girls that has the bag that's bigger than her, I'm 4'9 and yes you usually see my bag before you see me even though most people will say they hear me before they see me but that's a different blog for a different day.
My bag is soo big though because there are some things I just can't leave the house without. Besides the obvious books and stationary which is by itself a lot because I love pens and highlighters and markers and post its and those little tabs and arrows, my books have to look like a rainbow that's just me oh and random papers and folders and crap...
So other than that we gotta have the pashmina like we talked about before and then you gots to add your 'girly bag' this has lotion, soap, sanitizer, perfume, tissue, toiletries, some make up and by that I mean powder, eye liner and lip balm...this is school not le club, we probably have a nail file and nail clipper in there too and a hair brush...all necessary tools for life... Then you have your umbrella, your water probably a little snack and on those really bad days that you have to pack your laptop... no wonder ppl see the bag first. This semester I got this Aero Wave Canvas Tote from Aeropstale so we'll see how it works out, the only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have a top zip but I can live with that.
I hoped my lil chat was fun!

Mixing nail polish miracle
So today I was watching youtube videos, getting my usual jenna marbles fix in and other random stuff and came across this little 12 year old girl Talia Joy who has cancer and does videos and omg I'm in love with her she is so cute and bubbly, the fact that she has cancer sucks but she looks like she rolls with the punches and deals with the hand of life she's been dealt and I loves it...anyway I had the bright idea that hey I could write a blog too Talia is 12, I'm 21 I can do this too...Ha lets see how long this boredom kick lasts or if I'll even have anything to talk about...
Oooo yesterday I discovered that I'm amazeballs at mixing nail polishes (another boredom moment) so I mixed these four colours ------> ---------->
from left to right we have :
OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me
OPI Ogre-The-Top Blue
OPI Alpine Snow
Essie Ballet Slippers
Don't ask me what colour I was trying to make, my hand just landed on these four and I said ok lets get to mixing...Little did I know that my brain had a plan, Before I knew it I came up with this ------->
The index (finger on the left) was the first attempt then I added a little more of the OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me and voilà my result on finger on the right. (not sure you an see the difference, the first one was a little more blue)
See this was super exciting for me because forever now I have been wanting China Glaze For Audrey and I can't seem to find it in any of the Wonderful World branches (Trinidad and Tobago version of Sally's) so ha I made it for myself!! I call this a boredom Win.
My Concoction (sorry for the crappy picture)
