The results are in…

Looks like my blog is going to be a one stop shop… hope you all like the variety…

Revamp

I've been thinking of revamping this account for the longest. I still enjoy thrifting, and I still enjoy makeup and writing but I have shifted my energy towards newer and better things.

My thoughts is to combine everything here: thrifting, fashion, hair and fitness/ workout updates.

The pros of this is this will serve as a one stop shop for all of my adventures. The con is that if people are I retested in one aspect of my journey over others it will all get compiled and tedious to search through all the posts for a specific topic. I hate making decisions for those who followed my blog and know me! We shall see. Secondly, I do have another blog created soley for my nursing journey in grad school and my triumphs on searching for the rich unit for me!

Renovatoins

I will be revamping this blog in the next few days. I havent decided if I will keep it as a style blog, then create on for my hair and makeup.... yet. Im motivated by different things these days such as fitness and education, and preparing myself to be the best person I can be. So in the next few days, this site may have a new look and name Any ideas would greatly be appreciated

School is in!!!

So school started for me this week and I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand I'm ecstatic that I'm making progress in my educational pursuit but on the other I'm scared to push myself. I have a mentee and each time she comes to me and tell me her progress in school or states she's ready for the next semester… my response is to say " well what about np school, what about phd." I come from a linage of educationally hungry men and that gene is instilled in me. My circle of friends typically joke and call me a professional student. I'll wear that cron proudly as I ascend to the highest of highs!

Hitch Hiking my Way back to Sanity

For those who consistently follows my blog, you might notice a pattern. Alot of my begining posts surrounds issues with emotions. When I opened started this blog, I originally wanted to make it all about make up and thrift store shopping. Slowly but surely my transition turned into wanting to express myself.

Now I came into realization that alot of my defense mechanisms, and coping mechanisms, were okay but not addressing the subject. Kind of like 'ignoring the pink elephant in the room' syndrome.

So there

The begining of something beautiful.

So here I am ready to document my next journey..... Sisterlocks. I actually cut off my locs on October 4th. After the cut I decided to wear a pixie cut for a month, braids for a few weeks.. and now, a bald head. Currently Im undecided how long I will grow my hair before I start the locks. Part of me want to start it on longer hair and part of me wants the short look... Either way, im sure you'll be on of the first to know which decision I make .

The Eyebrow Tutorial

So I finally took the time before work to put this together. This is the way I learned from a MAC artist. I always saw the videos online but that wasnt enough to help me along. Seeing was definitely better do that I could ask questions and get a feel for what they were saying. Tools needed: a eyebrow pencil matching your eyebrow color, concealer, and angle brush and and a blending brush. I used my MAC 217 to blend and my angle brush from the Bamboo collection sold at Walgreens. Happy brow shaping!
