Beauty tips winter edition.
I personally love winter because my skin looks better, and I am happier. What a contrast! usually people get sad in the winter because of daylight saving time and the temperature is too cold for some outdoor activities, well I thrive in it because I hate being invited to things I don't want to go to so now I can say "omg it's so cold can we reschedule" or I could just not show up and when they ask me why I didn't I can say "Gee it was so dark outside, I took a nap or it was snowing and I didn't want to drive." If my someone I like and I am comfortable invite me to something, then of course I will go but if you're just an acquaintance then no. Okay back to beauty tips...
During the winter the air is cold and dry so make sure your hair, skin and lips are moisturized.
- for skin: Use a gentle face wash that doesn't dry out your skin, make sure to use moisturizing lotion or serum to keep your skin from drying. Don't wash face too much throughout the day. also ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN, the worse mistake any of us could make is not wearing sunscreen daily especially if we walk outside a lot.
- for hair: I have a curly afro, so my hair gets dry faster than someone with straight or wavy hair. I am always big on moisturizing my hair because I have a hair color in it, which is growing out. I usually deep conditioned my hair weekly regardless of the time of the year to keep my hair healthy and moisturized. I recommend deep conditioning weekly in the winter because of the weather, also do the LOC method which is done on damp hair usually after a wash day to loc in the moisture use a leave in conditioner, Oil, and a curling cream. Mini twist is great around that time, hair wraps, protective styling like braids are very good but make sure to moisturize your hair every 2 days in those braids (don't just forget about it)
- lips: always use a ChapStick, lip gloss especially in the winter. I love using the Carmex lip balm because it keeps my lips from cracking, I have pink lips but if I don't scrub off the dead skin then my lips will look brown, I have to use a lip scrub to keep it juicy and plumped :)
- mental health: I still get sad during the holidays (which is why I am taking a vacation next week :))) that was my bif surprise lol) to help with the sadness, I journal talk to my mom. sleep well, eat well, stay hydrated, stay away from people who makes me sad or people who use me (I always find those people who are narcissist, I stay away from them) I usually run away from them. Go see a therapist if needed (I need one lol) I found a man! he is really cool, but I will be sure of this after my first consultation on Friday. He is a little far but I am willing to drive there in person if we connect.
- To keep your sanity: don't worry about what people think of you, focus on your journey, do things that makes you happy, laugh as much as you can, make new friends that suit you, travel, eat good food, take lots of pictures... never rush anything and always stay true to yourself.
- The winter is a fashion show for me! this is my time to show how much I love dressing up and how far I can take it :)

How to detach from someone.
When I detach from someone that person no longer exist to me. Because I see myself as the main character in my story you can only exist if I want you there (I am a writer so it’s only fitting) I even forget the names or anything that they told me. When I have to detach to someone is usually when I realize their time in my life is done or I tested them multiple times and they failed constantly. I know that it is no one’s job to make me happy or to give me what I want. It is my job to make myself happy and to give myself what I deserve.
If someone is not treating you well, you have to remind yourself that you have 2 choices: you can either stay and endure the treatment hoping that things will change one day or you can walk away and give yourself the love that you deserve while you wait for the right person to love you better.
There is more to life than a relationship, you have to remember that the only way for you to find yourself is alone. No one is going to come and save you; you have to be strong and create the best environment for you to thrive.
If someone doesn’t appreciate you or chose someone else over you then walk away, that person never deserve you. When you can’t be friends with someone or can’t have any type of relationship with someone it normally means that this person is not the one for you; which is okay because we were all made for someone or for a purpose.
Keep working hard, travel the world, meet new people, open up your horizon, meet people from different countries and see how your life will change !

A tragic end.
Oh boy, I don’t think I talked about her specifically here before but since January 2022 she has been on my mind. Her name is Cheslie Kryst she was crowned miss USA in 2019. She was so beautiful and I remember thinking “oh my God” a black woman won the miss USA! Because at the time I think there was 5 black women crowned for pageants all over the world and they were all beautiful and smart. I was sooo proud ! I kept following cheslie online but then I deleted my Instagram so I stopped keeping up with her.
To my surprise on January 2022, I saw on the news that cheslie committed suicide! I was like what!? There is no way! This is obviously a murder investigation and someone probably pushed her off the balcony. I remember checking google for days to follow to make sure that she didn’t commit suicide and that someone as beautiful as her couldn’t possibly want to die to stop her suffering. But no she did actually jumped off that balcony and she died upon impact. She was sooo successful she was not only miss USA but she was a lawyer, a TV host and she did so many things to help the other women on the pageants. I just couldn’t believe that someone like her could possibly want to die! I was sad after that and I keep thinking about her. I still go on her Instagram, I saw her mom made an interview about her talking about how that day went. She sent her mom a text, posted a picture on Instagram with the caption “ I hope this day bring you rest and peace” and then she wrote a note stating that she is leaving all her assets to her mom, then she jumped off the balcony.
I remember thinking what if she changed her mind after she jumped!? What if she thought OMG what did I just do but then it was too late …
I still think about her to this day, and her story shook my world because you never know what someone may be going through. They may be rich, beautiful, successful, have a relationship that you envy but they could still be suffering and the only for them to stop the pain in their own perspective is to end their Iives. I am against suicide, i don’t think it is the right thing to do. But have I thought about it? yes, but then I remember how far I’ve come and how many hardships I overcame then I smile I thank God for being with me. Suicide is an end to a temporary problem; if you are struggling with mental health talk to someone you trust and please don’t be afraid. Go to therapy, pray to God, read the Bible, avoid people who make you feel bad about yourself but hang out with people who uplift you and make you see the good in yourself. I promise you this is just a bad chapter, eventually the page will turn and you will get to the good parts of your story.
We miss you cheslie :(
