for my fellow introverts.

Publié par Gaelle.R

As introverts we love spending time alone which is not a bad thing if you ask me because being alone is how we recharge but always remember that the more you spend time alone the harder it will become for you to spend time with other people.

spending too much time alone is not good for us, we have to go out once in a while and socialize. It might sounds fun to just stay home so you can binge watch that new show or read this great book but always remember that you need people in life to survive. (this is for me too I am part of the introvert community)

some of us hate the fact that we are introverts but to be honest I love being an introvert; sure at times I find it annoying when my social battery die right in the middle of me hanging out with friends and I look dead while everyone is wondering what's wrong? well truth is nothing is wrong! I am just exhausted from hanging out all day and now I need to go home and be alone for the next 2 months! 

but here's some tips to not drain your social battery fast when you are hanging out with friends:

1. don't get too excited in the beginning, save your energy.

2. talk to a few people and work your way to everyone slowly do not just jump in the crowd! you will get tired fast.

3. find someone who's lay back to talk to at first and then find an extroverts when it's closer for you to leave because hanging out with energic people will make you tired!

...

Honestly always remember to practice self-care after hanging out with lots of people; take some time to unwind, sleep and rest because you are going to feel drained. The right people will love you no matter what, you are beautiful fellow introverts! you are kind, resourceful, empathetic and fun to be around. We are:

for my fellow introverts.

hair

Publié par Gaelle.R

It's almost a year since I cut my hair!

I cut it all off on august 23, 2021 and it has been growing. I can now make a bun lol well I struggle a little bit but with the right hair gel I can lay it down. My hair is really thick and if I don't wet it to make a cute bun it just won't happen. I used to have type 4c hair but now I don't think I do anymore! It's more curly now and easier to manage. Who would've of thought cutting your hair would change the texture?!, actually I googled it and it says that it's not possible so I don't think my hair was ever 4c it was just dry and it was a bit damaged; but now I conditioned it weekly and I use protective style to seal in the moisture.

When I first went natural on my own in 2017 I fell in love with my beautiful afro hair and it looks like the most beautiful crown on my head. I have cut my hair twice so far and dyed it 3 times since! so yes my hair was a bit damaged but I am going to take good care of it now and I am never cutting it again to see how long it will get. I pledged to never texturize it again! I will keep it in it's beautiful curly state :)

Update.

Publié par Gaelle.R

Hey you guys,

I made a recording last night but I was half asleep and I have a feeling that I did not make much sense; nonetheless as I mentioned last night my summer is not so bad. I feel more hopeful this year despite everything, I have been through so much to know that it does get better and that the best is yet to come.

Let's talk about my furr babies.

My cats are doing great and Archie is getting along with Pixie but they still fight here and there because Archie has been the only child for quite some time. I love both of my cats equally and they bring me so much joy; Pixie is very affectionate and Archie is very protective. But I do have to clean my house constantly with all the furr and I now have 2 litter box in the house...ughh it is such a mess but I am slowly getting the hang of it. I understand now when people says having cats is disgusting because you really have to clean your house every 2 days if you want a pleasant smell. Archie wasn't so bad when I only had him but having 2 cats is way more work. But hopefully by next months I get a full hang of it I just have to get 2 litters now to change the litter twice a week because I am clean freak and if my house is not clean I will just get depressed and cry!

things to do.

Publié par Gaelle.R

If you struggle with reverse SAD during the summer months these are some things that I do and I think it might help you too.

  1. listen to upbeat music and dance around like crazy. something about dancing in front of the mirror always makes me feel great.
  2. cook your favorite meals or get your favorite meals. Going out to different restaurants might be fun but bring someone you normally have a good time with.
  3. practice self-care. Get your hair, nails done, and facials. Personally, if I look great I automatically feel 10 times better and I want to go out.
  4. retail therapy? going shopping might help if you love shopping. Get new cute outfits and plan places you can go wearing them.
  5. get a pet. Having 2 cats now is a lot of work and they are a great distraction, you can any pet you want.
  6. take a walk. Now I never just take walks alone lol because I just hate walking for no reason unless someone else is there.
  7. talk to kind people. notice how I say "kind" yeah avoid talking to people who make you feel bad about yourself and stay away from anyone toxic, especially during the summer!
  8. get a therapist. It might help to talk about your feelings with a therapist because your friends might get tired of you talking about being sad all the time and I don't blame them that's what a therapist is for.
  9. get a new hobby. It could be painting, writing, singing,  pottery, or just reading certain types of books... whatever makes you happy just do that.
  10. most importantly surround yourself with loving, caring, and understanding people because you need it. 

Know that I love you and a tone of people love you too... you are gorgeous. we are in this together !!
