BIG CHOP (November 7, 2010)

14 Nov

Braid-out attempt

On November 7, 2010, I had just finished washing and conditioning my hair.  I looked in the mirror and as I began to pass the comb through the two textures my permed hair broke off in chunks.  As chunks of my permed hair came out I realized I had reached my breaking point.  I grabbed the scissors, walked into my sister room and said “I am ready”.  My sister looked at me and asked if I was sure and I told her yes.  I then grabbed my Macbook and recorded the whole big chop ordeal.  Coily’s on November 7, 2010 I became liberated, but questioned and criticized by many for deciding to wear my natural hair.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: Grapeseed Oil

Grapeseed oil versatility makes it very beneficial to our lifestyles.  It contains high amounts of vitamin C, E, and D as well as being high in antioxidants and Beta-Carotene.   The following are the usage of this oil:

- Hair products (ex. oil treatments)
- Massage oil
- Cooking (ex. baking, frying, and salad dressings)
- Cosmetically (it is a light oil and a great moisturizer for the skin)

I LIKE BIG BUTTS

3 Nov

Buttock implants/lift are relatively new here in the United States but the demand seems to be increasing tremendously and many patients come out satisfied with the surgical procedure just as many have been dissatisfied.  Personally, after seeing the many ways a woman would want to alter their appearance has made me question our state of being and self worth.  One may not be blessed with a volumptious booty but remember the lord made no mistakes in creating us.  If we want to improve on areas we are not satisfied with let us not resort to surgery but in natural forms like exercising and/or eating healthy.  Coily’s lets begin to love ourselves and stop tampering with our bodies.  Our heavenly father again made no mistakes on anyone of us.  We are unique and special in our own way.

On a side note if you are interested here are the two forms of enlarging you buttocks through invasive surgery:

1. Brazilian Butt Lift – this is where fat is injected to the butt

2. Butt implants – this is the insertion of silicone implants (similar to breast implants)

If you are interested in enlarging you buttocks through non-invasive surgery check out the booty pop television commercial link below:

LIVE WITH PURPOSE

3 Nov

Today I am devoted to making clear decisions about what I choose to experience!

When your mind, body, and spirit are in harmony, you have truly learned from the experience.  Break habitual responses that produce unwanted experiences. It is

Live with Purpose

important to recognize that your mind and heart are partners.

It is amazing how the Lord places you in certain situations that allow you to experience things that give you perspective and insight.  Things that you feel you cannot live without become trivial or are not as great as they once seemed. Just when you feel overwhelmed, he eases your burden, gives you peace, and blesses you more than you thought you could ever be.

I am so grateful and thankful for my Lord has done great things for me.  He is my strength and provider.  Without him, I would be lost.

Motivational Monday: Keeping Busy

2 Nov

I love keeping myself busy, because it sure beats being sad, stressed, and depressed any day.  Participating in activities that you truly enjoy leaves you little time to worry and stress about inconsequential matters.  Active engagement forces you to focus on things that matter rather than things that only serve to distract you.

We’re Back

2 Nov

So this “Coily” lost a little bit of her spring and took a much needed rest, but now we are both back and in full effect.  So here is a mini hair status, we are both still going natural, but we are kind of cheating because we have been sporting braids for the past 5 months.  We haven’t used a comb in months and couldn’t even find one if we needed to.  

I can’t keep my hand out of my hair and I am so amazed by the curls that are sprouting from my scalp.  We are both currently wearing corn rows and love the low maintenance. We both plan on big chopping together in December and I am nervously awaiting the end of my permed lengths.
