An everything shower has to be one of the better human experiences. You end up feeling and smelling sooo good. I love how everyone has a combination of different scents and products that combine to form their own unique scent. OK, so we are looking at how to maximize on an everything shower plus post care so it can last the whole day for you. I recommend skimming through the whole blog first then trying it out:) Let us begin shall we? We are going from head to toe so we start with hair, I already have a perfect hair washday blog on here which I will link here>( the perfect hair washday routine )OK. The face will have to be a good cleanser, then a moisturizer I do not want to recommend specific brands because everyone has their own brands that work for them. I would also advice to use cold water to rinse your face it does wonders for my pores. Make sure to wash your ears and behind your ears because that is where most hair products tend to accumulate and cause dirt. Teeth Veeery impo...

There is so much you need to do just to maintain healthy hair. But, it is all about getting a routine, a simple one that you can be consistent with in the long run. Enough about that, today we are talking about things you should not do for healthier hair. So be prepared to be triggered a little with things I know you do👀. But don't be too hard on yourself, you didn't know better:)I am tagging myself as well. Combing my hair when its dry is an absolute no. Why? Well, dry hair equals brittle hair which makes it susceptible to easy breakage. The best way to do it is while it's damp since it has most elasticity then. Using rubber bands on hair . This is a big no no. Rubber bands tend to pull and cut hair so avoid them completely. Use proper hairbands preferably those without the little metal plate. Protective styles that are too tight . Just thinking about this gives me a headache😭. I mean, why do we do this, it's just unnecessary, especially around the edges. Having tho...

And with that, 2024 almost comes to a close. A time like this last year, I wrote a list😅, now now, no need to judge, we read and we don't judge😂. My resolutions for this year, honestly, looking back at them I kind of forgot some of them were on there, and that is the first sign of what's to come😂. You can check out my list in this blog linked here so you won't feel lost in case you hadn't read it-> https://iveartgold.blogspot.com/2023/12/my-realistic-2024-resolutions.html . So let's skim over them and see how we did shall we?😅. Daily Sudokus definitely did not happen lmao😂. Buuut, I did do a lot more sudokus this year than previous years so hey, a win's a win😂. Uploading weekly on this blog is something I am quite honestly disappointed in myself for not being able to do and I am carrying this to next year for sure and I will lock in this time for real! Mmmh, savings have depleted a little I would say😭 what was this year even??😂 Waking up earlier I hav...

ID loversss gather here! First of if you know what that is you are definitely in the right place😂😂.  I would say I am an enthusiast of true crime, y'know a normal amount( if you know me personally don't comment😅) Mostly because of curiosity I would say, wanting to know why people do what they do, and so far I've come across very interesting documentaries that all my true crime counterparts should check out.  They have all the good components of a good documentary which I would list as good narration, interviews with family or people who knew the victims and if we are lucky, people who knew the perpetrator which it's always interesting to hear from their point of view. OK, enough yapping, onto the list! The Staircase ( Netflix ). Starting off strong with what I would consider to be my top 5 documentaries of all time. Murder or a tragic accident? I was quite surprised there was a discussion between the two after watching it. But I'll let you be the judge of that. ...

Hey, no one is telling you to lay off anything  ok😂. Relaaaaxx😂.I always say, the key to maintaining a healthy body weight is mostly internal. So let us look at some not so hard tricks I use that are applicable for your day to day that help at least maintain a healthy body weight.  💪🏿 Maintaining at least a 7,000 steps a day and this is very easy to achieve actually, that's approximately 30 minutes of walking, which can either be broken down to 2-15 minute walks or 3-10 minutes walks. Which is quite doable a day I would say. And good thing our phones can keep track of how many steps we've taken everyday so you don't have to worry about that, just the walking is your part. 💪🏿 Walking After Eating . I've found this quite effective because the body uses that food as fuel for your walk. Put on some music, a good playlist and walk for at least fifteen minutes. Plus it reduces any bloating risks significantly.  💪🏿 Drinking a Litre A Day.  Of water of course😅😂.Ge...
