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 back

10. Style as desired

And that's it folks! Good for a week :)

Review: Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Great colour, matte, but doesn't stay.

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!

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 :)
