In american society we are so in love with Political correctness. We chastize people for saying what we are all thinking and we shame other countries for doing exactly what we are doing. Yet when sitting behind our computers, and enjoying the anonymity granted by the internet people show their true colors. I’m sure you’ve gone to CNN.com or someother news source or blog and found that there are…

Image via Wikipedia My cousin sent me a beliefs quiz. and i decided to post my results here. it’s interesting how many of these beliefs overlap. makes me wonder… but I’m dancing with a few ideas.. I posted my results below, but I wanted to tell you all the story to how I got here. I grew up in a 3rd generation SDA household. Any family member that I have who aren’t Adventist are those who…

The Hardest thing in the world to do is change your frame of mind. It’s so HARD to start thinking differently.In my last post, I talked about Needing to make changes and challenging myself to do it. The first step in all of that is changing the way that I think. It is just soooo Easy to focus on the bad things in this life than to focus on the good. It is also easier to focus on what is VS. What…

Image via Wikipedia Howdy Lovlies, In the last few weeks i’ve been a bit obsessed with natural products for my skin. This came about because I have SUPER SENSITIVE skin. I frequently get rashes and hives and it’s SOOOO annoying and considering how vain I am I don’t like my skin doing all this crazy stuff. Anyway, I started with “green” lotion. Its a mix of Aloe and Shea butter and Tea tree oil.…

This is my 5th week with the ovation system. I have cut out the shampoo completely at this point and I massage the Cell Therapy into my scalp three times a week. My hair is also braided. Nothing new to report 😦 I’ve had about a third of an inch of growth since my last measurement a week ago. So this is just a short update I also wanted to mention that I’m extending my experiment another 5 weeks.…

As my second week of ovation is coming to a close I’m pleased to say that my hair is 4-inches on average. that is half an inch of growth with-in 9 days of use. My edges are growing in 🙂 and my hair is thicker at the roots ( i’m definitely gonna have to do some cutting to rid myself of damaged hair.) I did a lot of reading in the past week about your hair growth cycle and how while some hairs are…

While on this fun hair journey I’ve been reading a lot of articles about going natural and growing out your hair. I’ve done that natural thing several times since I was 11 years old. I’m talking about 11 years of back and forth between chemically straightened hair and my curls ( which I always miss when they are gone). I know tons and tons of girls who have gone on this natural journey for one…

Thank you all for your responses via email and comment ( although it kinda kills the confidentiality business) I’m done collecting info 🙂 and I will be posting my data table in the next day of so ( nov 3 or 4 2010) I’m only doing it because I was asked by several of you. So thank you again.. you all rock I had to make up this survey for my sex and society class and I’m just…

Image via Wikipedia As I am approaching the one year mark since my last big chop and the start of my healthy hair journey, I thought I would share what I learned. I am by no means an expert, but it’s been fun for me and a great growing experience. And if others can learn from my mistakes and have better journeys than I did… That would be great. 1. The Internet is your best friend. When I started…

So… being that I have commitment issues across the board its quite obvious why I stopped 4 or 5 weeks ago. But I am back. I have kept up with my hair routine… yay? I’m excited to report results. When I started this my hair was 3 and a half inches on average. My hair grew 2 1/2 inches in a little less than 2 months. I cut off about a half inch of damaged hair so I have a net growth of 2 inches…

Call me bitter or pessimistic, but this is the reality of the world we live in. True love doesn’t exist. There are days that I’ve been lead to believe that it never did. I do believe in love as in a platonic or the familial sense… you can love your family and you can love your friends, but romantic love is nothing but a fairy tale. It is all just infatuation and lust. This isn’t coming from a…

I wasn’t going to blog too much about what I was doing with my summer ( outside of what I already told you guys ) but I was super moved by this story. I work as an organizing Fellow at the Obama for America Office. We have people come in regularly and ask to volunteer because they believe in President Obama’s vision for this country. Today, a woman came into the office with what seemed to be all…

The current system needs a serious change and now is the time to do it. In the 2012 election cycle, Immigration reform was a a pivotal issue. The rhetoric surrounding it is one of the reasons that Latino Americans…

Dear American Police Officers, We have seen Police officers do some of the bravest and most heroic things you will ever see. We have seen cops comfort people in need and save lives at the risk of their own, and these are the acts that merit respect and trust. Yet, no one really has trust or respect for the police. Why is that? You all are Rude, Biased, Callous, corrupt and full of yourselves. Men…

Following the French Vogue Black Face layout and the Australian Black Face performance on the “Hey Hey Its Saturday” reunion and many disgraceful comments concerning President Obama by other world leaders its time to ask our selves whats really going on. Is it fashionable to play with the things that demeaned a people? does it stop being Racist because you think its funny? I find myself having…

In late March and early April, i spent 2 weeks in prayer with my mom and dad. I called them at 1pm and at 11:30 pm and prayed prayers of gratitude, sung songs of praise and thanks and read Psalms of praise. I basked in the awe and wonder of who God is and trusting that everything I prayed will come to pass in 2025. But I’ve still been grieving some things that I wasn’t ready to let go of. But i…
