Talk About It

Falling in love is one of the greatest pleasures in the world, seeing the potential of the one you love, hopefully building a family and living happily ever after. But what happens when the hope and potential seems to fade away, the person who you once looked at with such love and admiration has now become someone you can barley stand to be around.  You think to yourself is it just a temporary feeling that hopefully you think will go away with time but as time goes on that feeling becomes stronger and stronger.  As the new year approaches us for many its the time to start cleaning out our emotional closets, and setting up new and possibly intriguing relationships. Common signs that you are falling out of love; Lost of respect for your partner, this one is essential because if the respect is lost soon goes the communication. Another sign is intuition, this one never fails its that nagging feeling you get when something  inside of you that questions your love for partner  at first

W hen people say I forgive but I will not forget, what does that phrase actually mean. If we forgive aren't we suppose to forget their past transgression and start anew. Let's look at the true meaning behind the term forgiveness, the term means; the action or process of forgiving or being forgiving, to excuse for a fault or offense. Now let's look at the term forget, the term basically means to fail to remember.  When forgiving someone how many times when looking at that person do we remember the wrong they done to hurt us.  If we still remember the wrong they done to us are we really forgiving, or are we just trying to get along.  In order to completely forgive a person the thoughts of the wrong they did shouldn't plague our minds so therefore is the term "I will forgive but not forget" really valid? Let's Talk About It 

I am trying this new skin cleanser from Noxzema called Ultimate Clear Anti-Blemish Daily Scrub.  This product suppose to buff away impurities and give your skin a nice even tone, I have to say so far I am loving this product. I use Ultimate Clear for both my morning and nightly skin routine, it leaves my face feeling soft and clean.  I do see a difference with how my skin tone is more even and clear, I tend to the occasional pimple that may leave a dark blemish on face.  Since using this product I see the dark blemishes tend fade a little quicker than usual, I use this product in combination with witch hazel and vitamin e oil. I will keep you guys posted on this product. Let's talk about it!

There are a wide variety of online hair extension companies out there. They all promise hair longevity, minimal shedding, no tangling etc, etc. YouTube has become a great form of communication for women to compare and review different hair companies. I complied a list of companies that have seem to flourish when it comes down to hair quantity and quality. In no particular order: 1. Jace Beauty- This hair company is best known for its Russian Fede Hair, the hair comes in textures textured straight, curl, wildchild (which has a slight wave to it), natural straight, deep wave, wavy and baby curl. What makes Jace a cut above the rest is the great attention to detail the company seems to supply with their hair.  Jace is also know for their superior customer service, I have experienced this first hand when I was inquiring about their. The customer service rep was not only prompt but detailed with her response. http://www.jacebeauty.com/ 2. HVM- I wrote a brief summary about thi

    I have complied a list of hair care products that woks best for natural African American hair. 1. Carol's Daughter Hair Milk line- I have personally tried this product and the results were fantastic, I purchased the total hair care box kit from Macy's. The kit came with hair conditioning co-wash, two leave-in moisturizers and hair pudding. This helps define and hold the natural curl of your hair, the kit cost around $15-$30 depending on if the kit is on sale or not. 2. Pantene product line- I have used Pantene products for years, I even used on my daughters hair (yes, she is natural) and this their hair care line is perfect for our hair. It restores the natural sheen and luster that our hair has.  Any of their products rather its the original line or the African American line does wonders for our hair. 3.   Garnier Fructis   Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner- Their leave-in conditioner is great for every day use not only it smells good but leaves my hair f

When I wore my natural hair, it was difficult for me find a weave that matched my natural hair. Most weaves on the market cater to mostly relaxed or pressed African American hair, I have compiled a short list of hair brands that match natural African American hair perfectly. 1. Bohyme Brazilian Wave- I have personally tried this brand of hair, this hair matched my hair perfectly. The textured and thickness of the hair was identical to mine. Most women wear this hair curly, the curls are tight coil curls which are beautiful another way to wear the hair is in its natural state where the hair has a loose wave pattern. Word to the wise-this hair requires a lot of care and maintenance, this hair can also be worn straight. 2. Janet Collection-King Yaki- This hair has been featured on YouTube and while there are good and bad reviews on this hair one thing they all agree on is how much the hair resembles natural African American hair. The King Yaki gives a fresh natural

Okay, I took a break from writing about relationship topics but now I am back and ready to pose another question about relationships. I know a lot of people have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, but are those accounts privy to your significant other?  Does your cell have a lock screen that only you know the code to if so ask yourself why? if you are in relationship, living together or married why is there locked phones and locked social accounts? Why not let your significant other in on your social life? Let's talk about it!

Price range: $15-$34 Amy Aviance Serena 100% Human Hair weave- There has been little exposure on this hair but from what I have found out from women who have purchased this hair is that it performs really well for low cost human hair.  Price range: $15-$42 Kima Classic Human Hair Blend hair extensions- This hair is not 100% human hair meaning it is blended with synthetic fibers and human hair. For this to be a human hair blend it feels and performs much like human hair. For best results I wo

Aqua BB Beauty Balm from Kiss New York I am kind of new to the BB cream craze that has been going on, just this past summer I decided to try BB cream the only problem I had was trying to find the right one for my skin tone.  There are tons of BB creams out there but which one do I choose, while shopping at my local beauty supply store I stumbled upon Aqua Kiss BB Cream from Kiss New York.  I decided to purchase this BB cream because first the price ($7.99) and second I loved how the cream blended so well with my skin color when testing it.  When I applied the cream on my face I used a small amount, with that small amount I had full coverage, not only was my blemishes covered but this cream gave my face a certain type glow.  The cream felt light and natural on my face, for the price this cream delivered extremely well.  This BB cream helps hydrate and repair your skin, it also comes in a variety of different shades for women of color.

Hair extensions or weaves is a booming business, with sells at a all time high many people invest their hard earn money achieving their signature look. As a woman who has worn her fair share of weave I found that my journey of finding that hair I will adore has been long and hard.  YouTube has become my best friend in assisting me on my hair journey but it can only take me so far, I started this post in hopes of getting other peoples perspectives on buying the right type of hair. Back when I was younger I bought my hair from the beauty supply store, installed and styled the hair. I didn't have to worry about shedding tangling nor the hair not being able to hold a curl. Now there are a lot of problems one must consider when purchasing hair, so okay ladies I think I need some help in finding my dream hair. Let's talk about it.

Compromising and settling in relationship, what is the difference between the two? Some will say when you compromise in a relationship; most of your needs and desires are met.  You are willing to sacrifice but not at the where it makes you uncomfortable or brings you pain.  Whereas to settle in a relationship means to lower one standards in order to be with someone else, people who settle tend to be afraid of being alone. Some people state that term "settle" has gotten a bad rap; they say to settle in relationship means to have given the relationship some thought  and consideration therefore making decision to move forward. Let's examine the definition of settle and compromise;  A compromise means a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles. To settle means to establish or become established in a way of life, job, residence. When viewing these terms has your opinion changed about set

So I began wearing the Bohyme Brazilian weave hair.  When I first installed this hair it was great, it matched my natural hair texture perfectly, when my frizzed the weave frizzed.  I received tons of complements on this hair, but after a while the hair started to tangle and mat up. When I researched this hair online I found plenty of info on the maintenance of this hair such as co washing it every week and the different type of products to use on this hair.  Through trial and error I have found the key products to restore this hair back its glory!! True to form you must wash this hair every week or every two weeks. Use Pantene hydration shampoo (or any Pantene shampoo)- this product is great for my natural hair as well as the weave. The shampoo left the hair feeling soft and basically restored it back to its natural state. There are a number of leave-in conditioners to use on this hair, the best so far is of course Cantu, followed by the Great Detangler.  As far as co-washing th
