Styling Your Natural Hair

  Your hair is undone, what are you doing with it before your next protective style? Well, although a lot of effort and time and patience and work is needed๐Ÿ˜…, I'm here to help you out with some of the styles I normally go for that require minimum skill level and if you do a little research on YouTube you can get a video tutorial on how to do all of these:) Obviously you have to have some hair products and tools for best results. Trust me these are good investments considering most are a one off buy and can last you a while. Needs when you have your hair out : Hair gel for a slicked hairstyle yknow, for the aesthetic. Edge control . For those who are into laying their edges, it's cool if you aren't. Flexi rods . These bring out the best curls trust me and pick the biggest ones as well. Blow-dryer. Advantageous as it has a hot, cold and warm setting so you can straighten your hair however you choose. Plus there is such a variety of them these days. Shampoo. A nice hydrati...

Things You Should Do At Least Once

Happy New Year!! How is your year going so far? It's still early in the year and motivation is still high so this is a sort of bucket list type blog about some things we should do this year, as many as possible is the goal. Visit the beach. Something about the beach is quite calming and refreshing especially watching a sunset or sunrise whichever you like. Peaceful vibes plus that is most likely a vacation we are looking at so start saving for it as early as now๐Ÿ‘€. Listen to SAINt JHN. SAINt JHN is by far the most angelic artist there is. His music just puts you in a state of euphoria of some kind and I'm not exaggerating when I say his whole discography is good. Please just check him out. Watch the sunset or sunrise whichever you prefer because it's just beautiful and makes you have faith in this world once again๐Ÿ˜‚. Make it a common thing to do as well at least a priority every month. Dye your hair. Ok ok, coming from me is probably not a good source considering I have act...

My Realistic 2024 Resolutions

  Another yearr!! I hope your holidays are going great๐Ÿ’›.2024,damn,  so soon?๐Ÿ˜‚ But this new year means business, I mean it's starting on Monday, what else could that mean๐Ÿ˜‚. So my 2024 resolutions are actually things I will and can accomplish this time not wishful thinking(there was a year when I wrote I wanted to have bought a car by the end of the year knowing damn well I didn't even have a job๐Ÿ˜ญ)But this year I am being realistic with it and not setting myself up for failure. So, this is what I plan to accomplish next year; Do all daily sudoku challenges. So that's 3 every day on this app I have on my laptop, this is just to exercise my brain and stuff because as we get older it's important to do that. Other people may prefer word searches or learning a new language, hey, to each their own.    Upload on everything melanin every week. Sundays to be specific, I had started that toward the end of the year and it was honestly felt very fulfilling even though sometime...

Christmas Movies That Make You Feel Festive ๐ŸŽ„

Happy Holidays!!! Only a few days/hours to Christmas. Is it feeling Christmassy yet? This year let's enjoy Christmas fr I am determined and what better way than to watch Christmas movies especially the ones we grew up watching like; Home alone 1,2&3 . I mean an absolute classic and first of all, their parents have to let us in on the secret to how they could afford such a house let alone take an entire family of 7 for a vacation in France, something's not adding up๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.  Also I see that there are new home alone movies out now. The Grinch is a Christmas movie, I feel like he's just misunderstood and without giving spoilers it's all in good reason. Klaus is a really good animation about a postman moved to a dark town and makes an unusual friendship with a toymaker and it is really a touching story and a very interesting watch.  13 Going On 30 to me is a Christmas movie not to mention a classic and I recently saw it on TikTok and had to rewatch it. Arthur Christmas ...

Good Vibes and Good Music: Lil T33

Shout out to hood 64 for raising a star๐ŸŒŸ. A range of human expression is how we should describe Lil T33's style of music as it delves deep feelings of love and intense emotion, y'know music to get you in your feels. When you're going through heartbreak, Tee is there to get you through it๐Ÿ˜…. When it comes to talent, it definitely runs in this family and I'm honored to have interviews both the cousins(T33 and Blu Lace 16) who have inspired Lil T33 to begin his musical journey and to continue at it even releasing music together. From Victorious to Big Time Rush, Lil T33 was inspires literally by the greats to start creating as a form of expression. Music to him is an outlet to express how he feels which is commendable considering how this generation always tries to mask their feelings.       And we all love an artist who isn't afraid to experiment and try new sounds. I dare you to put a mic infront of him and not create magic. If you want to be introduced to Lil Tee I...

Spotify Wrapped

  Wake up guys, the results have been posted๐Ÿ˜‚. Spotify wrapped is really intense as well, it's like an end year test result that I somehow always manage to flunk๐Ÿ˜…. First of all, shoutout to all the Kenyan artists I saw some really good numbers on twitter and Instagram and it makes me so proudddd. My Spotify wrapped is nothing to be proud of at all๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. It was the most generic list I've ever seen lol but we won't let that define me๐Ÿ˜…. I for sure thought I would have at least 3 African artists on my top 5 but yknow๐Ÿ˜…, The Weeknd is Ethiopian right?๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚.But I think its because I was really getting into Kenyan music and such mid this year but next year for sure I'm starting early this time. NGL some of my top songs reminded me of how long this year has been because I hadn't listened to them for quite some time and they are still in my top 5, it was just a phase Spotify๐Ÿ˜ญ no need to remind me๐Ÿ˜‚.  But whether it's good or bad peeps, you listened to th...
