Hair Confessions!!

By
It's been one year and four months since I embarked on this hair journey and I must tell you, it's been full of ups, downs, surprises, joy and unpredictable results.  Let me open up some hidden thoughts.

  • I am not a product junkie not because I can control myself but due to several reasons. I always read everything into details before I take a step. There are products I'd love to try but my doubtful personality prohibits me. Secondly, my budget is always too tight to include testing out products, especially, as I was in school and would rather spend on other stuff. Now, am out of school and into the working force so I may make adjustments for more hair products.
  • I love to read more than write; I always want to read other blogs but when it comes to writing a post, it takes me ages to write. I have the stuff I'd love to share concerning my hair but loads of words is not my style. You'll find most of my write-ups to be very short. The same applies to my text messages and e-mails.
  • I hate dealing with my hair on a daily basis but because I can't braid, I wear ponytails in order to avoid  handling it each morning. I love to have protective styles for a long period of time yet, ironically, I tend to miss my hair in a matter of days. As I write this, I, honestly, miss my hair!
  • I have hair inspirations but I don't idolize anyone's hair. Call me religious but there is a difference between the word "idol" and "inspiration".
  • I'd love to get some highlights in my hair;say bronze colour but am always hesitant because I worry about what people will think. 
  • I love long hair but I adoreeeeeeeeeeee short hair! There's something so sexy about short hair.

    It's good to know what you want and what you don't. I babble by nature but I cannot watch most youtube videos. I have the attention span of a four year old on cupcakes and ice cream. Reading I can take my time with, videos I hear folks talking and want to watch a cartoon. And I don't even have a hair inspiration yet I just finally know where I think I want my hair to get lol.

      I do watch youtube videos and I've subscribed to a lot of them but what I won't do is watch a 30 minutes tutorial video full of talking for the most part without really teaching the how-to.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride.
I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own.

When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.
One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and clea…
