2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below:  Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently. Now only if Instagram would allow scheduling of future posts... (If you haven't seen my post on How to Create a

Gym Routine in a Corporate World

Since I've entered the "corporate world" it's been pretty hard to stay active. Going from retail to a 9-5 really gets you! I got "fat" and now I'm trying to get back... Ok, I'm not fat. But I definitely gained some more of it! I thought my birth control made me fat, and maybe it added to the weight gain, but I can't blame it all on it. When working retail I was always on my feet, moving around, lifting boxes, etc etc. Now, I sit down 80% of the day so if I'm not getting a workout during work, I need to get up and do something. I used to sit around in the lunchroom, watch TV, but I made a pact with myself (lol) to go to the gym each day on lunch! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but I've been consistent since and I plan on continuing! Check out my fitness body composition where I started off before going daily!

Fix your Instagram Caption Spacing

**This post is the UPDATED version of my previously popular post on " How to Create a Line Break in your Instagram Caption " which sadly doesn't apply anymore :(** ... As you know things update all the time so you have to switch up your method. I've had to play around with the caption since updating to version 7 of Instagram (due to supporting iPhone 6s and 6s+) This is all you REALLY need to know : YOU NEED TO ADD AN EMOJI IN THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR PARAGRAPHS IN YOUR INSTAGRAM CAPTION One more  VERY important note : **You have to make sure you have NO SPACES after each paragraph upon removing the punctuation (or else it won't work)  Here are some tips you need to know when creating a linebreak (space) in your Instagram caption:

Wash Day Routine (15m Post BC)

So as my hair has gotten longer, my washday routine continues to evolve. I've been looking for tips on how to retain curl definition in my washngo and I think I've found a good method.  Tips: - Part hair in sections - Ensure hair is drenched in product - Work in product when wet - Detangle, Detangle, Detangle Okay, so here it is: 1. Part dry hair in 4 and clip away 2. Start with any dry section, water it down and finger detangle  3. Work in shampoo/cowash then take a wide-tooth comb and detangle  4. Take a tangle teaser and smooth section till it is all clumped together 5. Rinse out section and apply conditioner & treatment for deep conditioning  then clip it away in a Bantu knot style 6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all 4 parts done 7. Put a shower cap on and wrap head in a towel to trap heat in, then leave it for atleast 15mins 8. Rinse out hair in sections and keep in the 4 parts 9. Work in your product (ie. Leave-in, hair butter & styler) for each section and do not clip

MyLoux Site Review

So MyLoux reached out to me to check out their site and I was really impressed! The site looks very clean, easy to use and I love the easy drop-down menu at the top so it's easy to find hair care products that you're looking for. Let's dig a little deeper! Web Experience: So like I said, with the easy to navigate menu with drop-downs like "cleanse", "condition" and so on, you could easily find what you're looking for. And each category has a "hair type" so you can narrow it down even more, or more of a suggestion if you don't know what products are good for your hair. Last category on the menu is "Brand" so if you want to check out their selection like that, or have a favourite, you can. Only category that would have been nice to see: ACCESSORIES. I'd also like a FAQ page, but they do have a customer service link at the bottom of their site and seem easily accessible for any questions. The site looks even l
