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.

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
There are some days where I want to just throw my hair in any old thing and really create simplicity from my natural hair texture. I wont lie to you some days this seems to hard to even think about or bring myself to do.

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.
