I showcase thoughtful chitchat topics surrounding beauty and self development. My philosophy is to glow for a living; being lit from within, beyond skin deep.
We glow for a living as a community. Inside (self development) and out (natural beauty, haircare, skincare, girly lifestyle etc).
why cant we not like our hair like other races without people assuming you want long straight hair or dont like it because it's black. I always wanted regular black hair so called 4c, no i dont want it long. Also like any race of woman i want hair that styles easy and keeps a style . Can i be female withou black hatred being the scapegoat for how i feel? We need to growup as a raace and be ok and not have to say all blk hair is good , its like saying we all have to win. im an adult vi can deal with others being smarter or prettier, no my self worth is not tied to my hair. Why don't we start saying we are attracted to every blk person and we like fat same as we do skinny its disingenuous.
Gorgeous I love the message, when I met my man I would always wear wigs & I wouldnt let him touch my hair crazy!! Now we’ve together 3 years and he LOVES it when we go out and I have my Afro out. I feel confident and powerful asf
Self-love is attractive. What we see on tv & social media doesn’t translate to the everyday world & real life. It’s nice to see us embracing our natural hair & beauty more❤
I absolutely love the way you’re presenting ❤ I’ve been ready to wear my natural hair out and after watching you, feel more encouraged and excited to do it. You’ve explained this so eloquently, I pray more of our sisters are enlightened. What you said about the type of men you attract now really resonates with me - I do want the type of man that natural hair attracts. That hit home 🙌
You are soooo kind - thank you so much! Very happy that my content provides some value to you. Natural hair is definitely gonna make dating more niche and quality in my experience
Theres no reason why you shouldnt wear your natural hair, nowadays ww are dying their hair blue/pink all times of crazy colours, if anybody tells you anything they are racist simple as that. Back in the day they didnt want tattoos but every ww has them so, now its ok to have them in professional setting.
Washing bra strap to mid back 4c hair is not realistic for everyday. It can work for shorter hair but it's not necessary. It's fine to wash longer natural hair once a week - which is recommended by doctors
A solid hair care regimen is key!!! When I started straightening my hair more frequently, I really started to stick to my 2-week wash day routine and my hair is flourishing. Now I’m using wigs for a while just for its simplicity 😅
Thanks for sharing! I am currently going through reconditioning myself with being comfortable being curly year round. Trying to follow the "straight natural" trend left my hair beyond damaged.
Oh really? Dang. I’m sorry. Give yourself a challenge! I was tempted to do a sew in this fall/winter but I’m like nope, I only have a few months left until 2025!
transitioning to adult friendships has been the biggest joy of my life--i can't be in people's pockets 24/7 nor should they be in mine. i do put it on the calendar to text friends about how they're doing at least once a week and try to make time for calls/in person hangouts once every couple of months or so. i had a rough time in middle and high school bc i had much less time freedom than most of my friends, but for the friendships that have stood the test of time, we're very close and will always be in each other's corner even if we're not talking every day. as for new friendships, my biggest tip is develop a love of learning about others, and all the behaviours that make you good at socialising will naturally follow even if it takes a while. love from a fellow diaspora kenyan :)))
I believe taking a break from weaves/extensions is very important so that our identity isn’t rooted in always have to wear extensions/wigs. I’ve been wearing my natural hair out for the last few months but to be honest I have gravitated back towards wigs because of how easy it is to put on a wig and get out the door 😅. personally I love my natural hair and feel confident rocking it naturally curly or straight.
@@PortiaD-vt5ex The ease of use with wigs is unmatched! But it seems like you have a good regimen to keep your hair healthy under wigs. Care to share your tips?
Love this! It’s been a year since I wore wigs/weaves/extensions and my natural hair is thriving without them and like never before. Thank you for sharing
@@PrissyLilMissy-d2v 🤣🤣🤣 thank you! Ugh I don’t remember bookie. Maybe Spill the Tea from MAC? But look through the comments I might have answered someone else’s lipstick question
Definitely want to take a break from tension styles like crocheting. I have thin hair and traction alopecia in areas of my scalp so its a headband wig or a drawstring ponytail with a scarf. Luckily i work from home so the wigs arent on until i leave the house
I'm facing a bit of a challenge right now. People keep asking me for details, and it's becoming overwhelming. The truth is, I don't always have the answers, and it makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes, I feel like I just want to block them, but I know that's not the best solution.
Yeah but 5 months after you did not grow even a inch. It is not griw cause you are domaging your hair. It is gonna thinning your hair out as crazy and kill it.
@@EvieAswiti I m talking sciences how you think you going to retain length if you put water everyday in your hair?? Why do you feel that you have to cut because of damages... Don't do that madame. Stop if you want good hair if you need your length to stay where It is just continue... You will remember this statement when 1 year after you have the same length or you have to cut splits ends or damage hair again...
The privacy vs secrecy one hit home!!! I am a private person but when it comes to relationships, I would hope that those close to them would know about us and vice versa.
Yeah relationships are tricky. Alot of women feel validated by them hence why they discuss the details of them so often. I used to say im only posting my husband after we are married but after recent events im posting him once were engaged so whatever I need to know is revealed. And we both gotta tag each other 🤣.
You are correct. I always try to give my guest 100% attention. I wouldn't want someone being on their phone the whole time while with me. You don't want to be in my presence then.
Hie there. Always great to see a post from you. 🌹💐 I must say that another faux pas that I personally do (and am actively correcting) is being tardy. Its not cutesy and in fact disrespectful to waste people's time. I am grateful to my friends and family for pointing this out and helping me. Another issue I believe when moving to a new area or meeting new people is over thinking things like "I hope they like me" or "I hope I will fit in", etc... Sometime we just need to let the thoughts come and then go. The moment could be one of the best we ever had and we make friends that are worthwhile. Or it could go wrong, but people will forget about it eventually. If we are constantly in our heads the whole time, we will miss out on little cues of affirmation because we are panicking about "something not going right". With love to all the viewers and our gal Evie. 😄
