Self Care 2.0🧘🏿‍♀️

As an adult, oof😂 where to begin😂. You're in charge 🥲 scary I know, but you have to pull through you know😂. So you need a little tlc , physically, mentally, just all round so here are some tips on self care because you're my guy, and we're here to help each other out😃.


Drink water guysss. No I'm not one of those people😂😂. But I do see the benefits of regularly drinking water especially first thing in the morning and pro tip a slice of lemon or cucumber really makes the experience better😂. Water helps a lot with gut and skin health. 

Have a skin care routine. Do not sleep with makeup on ladies and gents make sure at least to wash your face before bed. Also avoid hair being all over your face e.g braids or weaves/wigs because they can cause rashes or pimples.

Sleeeep. I struggle to sleep early but I think that is the way to go, you wake up earlier and I think enough sleep makes you more productive through the day. Idk about y'all but I thoroughly enjoy a good night sleep. Or a midday nap those are it NGL😂.

Change your sheets. Weekly guys, s/o to my sister 🤭 best sister in the world. 

Make fruit juice once in a while. Take advantage of the fruits in season and after a long week, there is nothing better that a chilled glass of fruit juice to recuperate I have a couple little recipes of my own fruit juices and I think I'll post them here soon:)

Treat yourself!!! Yes, you deserve it😂. Do something nice for yourself once in a while so you actually enjoy life and are not stuck in the endless loop of bills and work and school all the time. A nice little lunch, a nice smelling candle or a good bag works.

Evaluate your mental as often as possible. How are you feeling right now? Also, why do you feel the way you feel i encourage you to google the the wheel of emotions so you can do that little exercise. Knowing your emotions is important so you can address them and look for solutions on how to improve or maintain that emotion.

I hope you are incorporating or will start to do these on a regular so we can live a wayy above average life because it's what we deserve😏.

The Perfect Hair Washday

Washing your hair can be a daunting task. That's why when you do it, you should make it count. Set aside a day when you do not have anything else to do and make a playlist of your favorite songs. You can also make it a full TLC day. Do a body scrub after to get that hair product off your body y'know. Ok, step 1  make sure you have all your hair products ready, these include shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner and oil . Step 2 ,you can soften your hair with a conditioner(not deep conditioner) before you start to  wash your hair, this helps with hair softening before you start the shampooing process which can prove to be drying to your hair. While applying the conditioner, put your hair in twists while either finger detangling or combing it through with a paddle brush or a wide tooth comb. This will prevent tangles during the shampooing process which is  Step 3 . Before you apply shampoo to your hair make sure you completely drench your hair with wa...

True Crime Documentaries You Have To Watch

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. ...
