Pep Talk: Finding Your Success

This is a little encouragement for everyone who is out there looking to find their passion and place in this world. Our value does not come from our the degrees behind our names, careers that we have chosen or the zeroes in our paychecks. Our worth is in our impact, in how we touch the world and leave it for the better. 

#31WriteNow: Salvation Army Thrift Haul

This was actually my first time shopping at a Salvation Army. I had shopped at Goodwill and other resale shops but, for some reason, not Salvation Army. Luckily, we went on a Wednesday, so many of the items were 50% off.

Before I started shopping, I gave myself a budget and a shopping objective. My budget was $20 and my shopping objective was to find articles of clothing with good prints and patterns.

I bought 8 items and I was a teensy bit under budget. Call me a Happy Thrifter.

Baking Soda/ACV Rinse and Locs Knots

Earlier this week, my hair was feeling dry, dusty, and dirty! I had to do something about it. I knew I had to wash and retwist, but I was looking to try a clarifying wash on my hair for the first time. Screen shot 2013-04-21 at 5.56.25 PM

I researched and found a recipe for an Baking soda & ACV rinse. I followed the step-by-step instructions.

Watch the process here:

The result was a squeaky-clean scalp and  refreshed locks. I followed up the rinse with a retwist and some loc knots.

Here are the results:Screen shot 2013-04-21 at 5.56.40 PM

I noticed that my hair is always in curly styles so I never see how long  my hair is. A friend took a length check picture for me and I was amazed by how much it’s grown!

The loc knot curls are very similar to the pipe cleaner curl, but a little less work to “install”.

 See the video:

The curls held up, even though I only used water and no setting lotion. I love it!

VEDA vlog #14: Cover of “Your Love Never Fails” by Jesus Culture

I heard this song for the first time this week because we were singing it on the praise team at church this morning. Ever since, it’s been on my lips.

Porcelain studio is the bathroom. I’m mixing my own tracks in the bathroom…don’t judge!
Enjoy :)
