Electrolytes.
I sweat a lot when I am working out and I recently realize that I am losing a lot of sodium. Although I drink a lot of water but I need sodium. That’s why I am so sore! Because I’m not doing any new exercises I haven’t been doing in the past 2 months I just increase the weight because I’m getting stronger now! I’m going to try creatine powder to gain more muscles. I make sure that I do all of my exercises with proper form and I always rest in between sets! I am not damaging my muscles at all. I feel the soreness in the right places but I am going to get electrolytes powder soon because I am sure that’s what I am missing! I should’ve thought about it.
I need it! Because I get dizzy in between my sets and my muscles need more time to recover all because I never drink electrolytes ugh!

Nightmare at ulta
Last week I went to ulta to get my skin care products and I needed help with a perfume because I couldn’t find a tester. A woman came to help me and she told me that I Couldn’t spray the perfume inside because there are nuts in it and some people might be allergic, she told me to go spray it outside which was fine with me because I totally understand that a lot of people have nuts allergies. She appreciated my understanding and she was very nice to me then she said “ wow you speak beautifully, I love your accent where are you from” to be honest my accent is not that strong but I do have one because English is not my first language. I told her that I am Haitian and immediately her demeanor changed, at that point I understood clearly! You know why? Because Trump said the Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs, she’s probably thinking all Haitians ate pets at one point in their lives. I’m not saying that’s what she was thinking but when she looked me up and down I was almost sure that I could read her thoughts! She then proceeded to completely ignored the fact that I am from Haiti to tell me “oh yeah I have some friends from Kenya” like ma’am that’s not what I said at all! I’m not from Africa the mother land I’m from the Caribbean ! But anyway I was like yeah I have some friends from there too, trying to act like she didn’t just call me African! Although I may have African descendants because Africa is such a wide continent who knows!?
Needless to say she wasn’t as nice to me anymore but she tried ! And no I didn’t buy the perfume.
I watched the presidential debate and immediately after I heard trump said that I knew this was going to cause problems for a lot Haitian immigrants! I’m not ashamed to be Haitian I love my country if it wasn’t for the violence I would totally live there. We have beautiful beaches, beautiful scenery! It’s really a beautiful country but too bad the people are ruining it! It’s always tropical ! The sun shine so bright! The food is amazing! Ugh I miss it. I miss my home so much and all my family who are there! Anyway back to my frustration. As a Haitian myself I never ate cats and dogs as you all know I am obsessed with cats! And I love dogs a lot too. I grew up with a lot of pets in my house! We even had bunnies! That’s why I love animals so much because my family love them and so that was instill in me. Eating pets is not part of our culture but I would be lying if I said some Haitians never ate a dog or a cat just like some people kill other people, some actually kill pets and eat them that doesn’t mean all Haitians do it. You know what’s mess up in all of this? There was a protest in Springfield Ohio because of what trump said and people are sending death threats to some Haitians, parents who are Haitian immigrants are forced to take their kids out of school because of all the bullying ! I never wanted to eat a cat in my entire life I see them as babies! I love all cats! Big or small lol even dogs too!

I feel a lot better! I did some light jogging yesterday and a lot of stretching yesterday. Now I am able to sit fine but I can't bend down, or I'll scream. I am on rest day today because my muscles need a break to grow. People think lifting weight every day is what will grow the muscle but quite the contrary! you have to eat well, sleep well and have rest in between intensive work out! you need to rest because that when the muscles are forming. I want a juicy butt; I am not in a rush at all by this time next year I will be dragging a wagon for sure lol.

The Menendez brothers.
I don’t normally talk about true crime cases here often but I always watch criminal cases and documentaries especially the ones from the 80s. One of them stuck out to me and it is the case of the Menendez brothers. With the new documentary that came out on Netflix called “the monsters” which is supposed to be about them, but I can’t help but feel disgusted that someone created a storyline like that about something so tragic!
They boys' names are Lyle and Erik, in 1989 they both killed their parents. Let me walk you through what conspired them to do such a thing. At the time of the murder, they must’ve been 18 and 21? I think but throughout their lives they were molested by their dad. All of this came out at the trial because no one really knew what was going on. Of course, family members and even teachers had suspicions that something sinister was happening, but no one said anything. When they had family members over Erik's dad would tell everyone not to go in Erik’s or Lyle’s room while he was in there with either one of them and no one was supposed to go down the hallway to hear what was going on! Excuse me? So, everyone just obeyed no one called the cops !? When Lyle was 9 years old, he asks her cousin if he could touch her down there because his father play like that with him! The cousin told his mother, and she did nothing! Both boys were sexually abused by their father for years until one day they had enough and shot both parents. You might be asking yourself well if the father was the one who abused them why did they kill their mother too? Good question they asked Lyle that at the trial he said it’s because one day “he came downstairs crying because of the abuse and his mother asked him what’s wrong and he wouldn’t say but his mother then reply “you think I don’t know what’s going on? I know everything “and in that moment he felt betrayed, angry and hurt that his mother didn’t protect him and his brother. For a year no one suspected them of anything, they were paranoid but their parents left them a lot of money so they would live a lavish life and they spent over 2 millions dollars of the fortune I think buying expensive jewelry, clothes, fitness coaches, properties, boats… but Erik couldn’t take it anymore so he confessed his crime to a therapist who secretly recorded the conversation and then told his girlfriend about what the boys did, but when he broke up with the girlfriend the woman went to the police and told them everything. The therapist lost his license and both boys were arrested for their parents murder.
Now here’s where it gets tricky.
the prosecutors could very well argue they did it for money and they wanted to spend their inheritance that’s why they killed their parents because of all the money they’ve already spent but the brothers confessed that’s not what happened at all. They explained how they’ve been sexually abused their whole lives but by that point the public and the jury have already made up their minds they saw the boys as murderers. I’m not saying they’re not murderers, but I do have sympathy for them. My heart breaks for them, although they did an awful thing, but no one can fully understand what it’s like for a man to be abused by their father and not being able to do anything about it. What they did was wrong and I wish none of that happened. Watching their testimonies from the trial broke my heart, I cried so much watching Lyle explain how everything happened. Erik was also crying while his brother was on the stand and you can tell those boys are victims. I am not saying their parents deserved to die but what about them ? They were sentenced to life in prison. I can assure you if they were the Menendez sisters they would be free today but because they are men people cannot accept that men and boys can be abused sexually too by their fathers if they were girls that would make more sense.
Who are we judge? only God can sees our heart and our true intentions. When David killed his mistress husband God forgave him for that. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have went to jail yes they should have but life without parole is a bit much! when you have similar cases of people who did the same thing who were not given a life sentence but the only difference is that they were women.

That time an hairstylist hated doing my hair.
That was in December 2017 and it was the second and final time I ever gotten a sew in. I remember this like yesterday! I first went natural in February 2017 and my hair wasn’t as soft as it is now. My hair was still very coarse but it was also dry because I had just washed it and I didn’t want to put any products in it because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do! But I was wrong for that. Also it was my first time embracing my hair so I had a lot to learn! I used the wrong products! Used the wrong oils but hey look where we are now! I am so proud of my journey.
Alright let’s get into the story time.
I went to the hairstylist’s house to get my hair done, it was me and my best friend. When she got to doing my hair, she used the wrong comb and she was detangling my hair from root to tip! If you have natural hair you know we don’t detangle our hair like this! It’s super painful and it causes a lot of breakage plus my hair broke her comb lol. She kept detangling my hair wrong and she kept complaining that my hair was too thick and that I should put a perm in to make it more manageable like excuse me! I was furious but it was after she did my hair I realize what damage she caused. My hair was soooo tight I looked like I was mixed with Asian ! My eyes were so spread out! I had a massive headache for like days ! I couldn’t sleep. When I finally took the hair out my edges fell out and I was soooo sad but don’t worry after a couple of months my hair was thriving again. After that I never got a sew in again! I was traumatized.
that was it!
I’m not getting braids, or put any wigs any time soon. Maybe in the future but for now I don’t want to. I love my hair so much and I have gotten used to doing it. I don’t want to use any fake hair right now. I’ve had my fair share of fake hair, there was a time I used to do my hair every 2 months and always a different style! Now I’m just tired of it. I’m tired of sitting down for hours to get my hair braided. I just want to be left alone. I don’t want to put anyone in my hair. I just want to chill.

As an avoidant style girlie this won’t work!
- The game guys play by talking to you for a week and ghosting you the next week uhm sorry that won’t work on me, It used to though but the older I get the less I care! I was actually planning on ghosting you as well so you saved me the trouble. I have my own problems to deal with I don’t care if you don’t want to talk to me. It might hurt for 5 minutes but I will move on! I’ve been hurt so much that being forgotten doesn’t hurt anymore I just don’t care.
- If you don’t call me, I might never call you. But I actually like you! The thing is if you love me you will have to do a lot of work at first then when I realize wow this guy actually loves me then I will start calling you but if you don’t make it clear to me then you’re just a friend I talk to once in a while and that’s fine with me because I’m already afraid of commitments.
- I went through a lot of traumatic events as a child which is why today I have this attachment style but it took me a while to accept this! Because I avoid everything! The first thing to solve a problem is to admit you have a problem. I want to have a secure attachment style :(
- Saying I’ll call you back but you don’t call me back as a tactic to make me think about you. I used to care because the last time someone told me I’ll call you back they died! I am more mad that you don’t call me back than I actually miss you! I will end up hating you for not keeping your word. So you are doing more harm than good; if you say to me “I’ll call you back” just make sure you do if you care about me.
- I’d rather do the things I love which are: reading, playing video games, going to the gym, watching movies, sleeping, eat than to bother you lol you will never have to worry about me because I am always busy. You must chase me if you want me because I have no problems being alone.
