Spoken word: A little bit of this and That.....When Brothers speak Recap
Hope you all had an amazing weekend...
Over the weekend I took some much need time to be with family and friends and head over to When Brothers speak here in Toronto. Man, I used to love SPOKEN WORD AND STILL DO...
Truth is you get so wrapped up in life you forget to embrace, and make time for the things you love. I decided a while ago I was going to live. I mean live like I never knew the full meaning of life. Like I needed to build my self from scratch.
You get what I mean...
So like I said I headed over to When Brothers Speak and it was amazing, the show was off the chain. I will post a video of the show at a later date. I did want to say though shows like these make you feel empowered, makes me want to grab a pen and pad an exploded all over the page. I love to write and for people like me, it's my soliloquy.
Below are a few Spoken word moments I have loved over the years.

The Secret
To Whom it may concern,
It has been such an amazing year and I am sure it has been for you too.
Like I indiciated in many of my post I am on a spiritual journey. I do not
know when it will end, I just know this journey continues. I dont see an end to
the life of true "Wealth" and I mean in every area of my life.
I know what I want, where I want to be and who I want to be. I believe that what ever you are faced with in you life this movie will bring some sort of understanding. I once heard Rob Hill SR say "heal people, heal people" and I strongly believe that these words are true and can resonate through your body.
Take the time to enjoy life, take the time to live life, take the time to see your life where you want it to be.
As you all know I have taken breaks from my blog and I do sincerely apologize, I feel like I can write again because I have so much to say and so many updates to post on my hair. I look forward to sharing my progress, what I have learned and updates.
Until next time...Love, light,

The power of Introverts: Being mindful of who you are and knowing thy self.
The power of the mind, the power of you, if you only knew how powerful you are
Lately I have been doing so much growing and exploring my self, being self aware of who I am and what I have to offer the world, my family, my goals and where, why, who I am as a person, as God created me.
I have this amazing video that describes many introverts and why I can write so much but often seek to avoid crowds. I do love being around people but I often find myself wanting to do things rather than be someone I prefer not to be. I have always been this way, always perferred a movie rather than a club.
I am exploring my love of life and living it to the fullest, sharing times with those that love me and that I love.
Ignoring what negativity may come my way and what anyone thinks that arent revelant to my existence on this planet. I am also learning to respond to negativity with the knowing of self, pleasant and responsive love.
Yes this is why I have not blogged in a while, I am truly learning and on this quest I will share as much as I can. I plan to remake my website and hopefully make more videos. For the time being I enjoy just growing, learning and building a close relationship, my own personal relationship with God, taking chances that make sense to who I am and what my goals to achieve.
Enjoy

Curls and more curls
Bantu knots:
Bantu knots have to be one of my favourite for elongated our natural hair structure. It does not matter
what your hair type this style will help you achieve a wave patterned, or curls you desire. This really
depends on how you do them.
You can choose to braids, twist, or just wrap your hair into a bantu knot. Know that each style will
give you a different look, but ultimately the variety is great and easy to achieve.
Below are a few videos of Bantu Knots I have done to my own hair over the past two years....
In the first video this was early on in my journey, I did have a few pieces in my hair, I love using them to create highlights and more fullness... in my natural hair..also note that I do wear wigs now...
If you'll notice that my hair went through alot of growth but I definitely enjoyed each look at each length.
Curlformers
Personally I have never used these but after watching many youtube videos I love the definition
they can give your hair. Also temporarily altering the patterned of your hair.
Flexi-rods
Another one of my favourite especially for achieving fullness with natural hair.
twistout
braidouts
wash and go

Havana Twist
how long did it take? 2-2.5 hours
What type of hair did you use? marley braids
did you burn the ends? no, I simply braiding them all the way down
how many packs did you use? I used 4-5 packs mixed colours as well
how long are these havana twist/marley twist? They are bra strap length
how long do you intend on keeping them in? for about two weeks, they are pretty big so I doubt they will last longer
what did you do to prep your hair for this look?
I deep conditioned my hair and stretch it for one day by simply twisting it, however I think had I twist it for longer/elongate my hair through this method it would have been much better
The hair cost about 5.99$ a pack and come in a variety of colours.
Products I used:
giovanni leave in
home shea butter leave in
castor oil
coconut oil
olive oil
eco styler gel
marley braids
wide tooth comb
fine tooth comb

Happy Healthy Tuesday: TIP OF THE DAY
Hey y'all,
Happy Tuesday, hope your all having a wonderful start to the week. I have a treat for you all today, some of you may have already viewed this video but once in a while it is nice to remind ourselves while on our journey, no matter what journey you are on, why you wanted this. From time to time your minds may change and that's okay. As long as it's what you believe is best for you and always in a positive light of course.
I really wanted to stress how important when on this hair journey, fitness journey, self-love journey- patience and love for yourself is so important.
I have complied my top 3 helpful tips....
1) Learn to love yourself
Loving yourself means loving the good, the bad, the ugly about who you are as a person. When you learn to do that you can really work on the bad and the ugly and become a better person to yourself and to others.
2) Appreciate the things you have accomplished in life
It really is okay to celebrate life and to live life to the fullest. Goals are meant to be met, so when you meet them reward yourself. Sometimes even for trying you should reward yourself. Remember your reward doesn't always have to be expensive, it could as simple as getting a manicure or relaxing at home with some candles.
3) Be patient, Be Consistent
It is so important to take one day at a time on this journey, not every journey will be met overnight. Some take a really long time. As you will see in the video posted below patience is the key to growing healthy, long hair, whether it be locs, or maybe uou just want healthy hair and length doesnt interest you practice, consistency and patience

Simple Hairstyle to Adorn on a simple day

| www.dejavunaturals.blogspot.com |
Recently I decided that it is imperative to remind myself of all around care that means hair care, mind and body. Despite how lazy I may get, I know we all have those days and I am definitely not alone.
I found the best ways to protect my ends is to simply put my hair in a bun to protect the ends, Right?!?
I think so, anyways I been trying more styles with my hair some fun, some weird, some unique and some well
I just love. I think my most amazing styles for me is the most creative. Which I will share in the future.
I should add that I am really enjoying my new camera. I love the quality Ill be able to provide you with.

Destiny's Child - Nuclear [Explicit]
A few days ago I adorn Kelly Rowland "ICE" video, so imagine how excited I was to listen
to Destiny's Child new song. I find it to be very Solange but I'm loving the very soulful,
unique sound. Definitely shows alot of maturity and I love that they slowed it down....
but, is it a comeback song? I'll let you decide.
I am looking forward to the rest of there new music
....Enjoy and let me know if you love it, or not

Music I love: KELLY ROWLAND "ICE"
This has to be one my favourite songs right now, I can listen to this song over and over
and over. I cannot express any more how much I love this song. Kelly sings it flawlessly
and looks stunning in the video
Kelly Rowland to me is often not notice and I can honestly say she is very talent and beautiful.
I am extremely happy that she is finally getting the recognition she deserves.
She scorches in ICE, the video, her look was HOT. I think the song is by far one of her
best songs to date. Choreograph by Frank Gatson she nails ever dance move, and is surrounded
by some amazing chocolate, chiselled male models.
Video posted below......Enjoy

Have you seen ESSENCE? with Iyanla Vanzant
Some of you may have already seen it, but I really enjoy her show on OWN and wanted to share it with you. I love her advice and everything she has to say to really take anyone's life to the next level.
“Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we’re not willing to show all of us. That’s why we have a weave, we’re wearing Spanx and everything is ‘fine.’ If you’re not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren’t really ready to share yourself…” –Iyanla Vanzant

2013 is finally here!....Happy New Year
Sometimes finding yourself takes years rather than days, hours, or minutes. I know this because it's true, I have been there. At the end of 2012 I truly found myself, I achieved more in a few months than I could ever imagine. Although I lost alot of "friends" through making a decision to change for the better, I became a better person, a happier person, truly myself.
In 2013, I will continue to make these changes, achieve success, weave out the negativity in my life, stay close to the ones that truly whole-heartedly love me, continue to build my personal relationship with God, and put the positivity in the universe I want for my life and choose wisely the people I allow to walk with me in this life of mine. I look forward to this year it's going to be a great year....I wish you all a very Happy 2013.....
