I’ve done home tours. I saw the inside of my cousin’s original house when it was remodeled. It was so much more glamorous the second time around.I used to o rder home magazines to see the insides of houses. And you know what? I saw alot of great features in those houses. What kinda features do you think make a house grand or superb? I think a great house should have these features:
canopy bed
double sinks
double ovens
waterroom
balcony
open faucet
glass shower
jacuzzi tub
in door pool
glass door
dining room
two way stairs
10 bedrooms
10 bathrooms
gym in home
side door
front door
see through cabinets
mail slot
shelves built into wall
walk in closet
I’m sure there are plenty of more features to be named. If you think of any, let me know.
Deep conditioning! Let it echo in your mind if you will. I love deep conditioning. I notice when the hairstylist deep conditions
my hair, which has trouble smoothing out, it comes out smooth
and refreshed. Then I feel refreshed. My heart would just like to dance in the glory of my freshly styled hair.
Anyways, deep conditioning takes a truly essential role in the survival of coily hair. Coily hair NEEDS rich moisture since it is the most likely to be dry. Due to the fact that the circumference of coily hair is smaller than curly hair, the sebum of the scalp takes longer to go down the hair shaft. Therefore, since sebum takes a long time to get from roots to ends, you need to prevent dryness and breakage. Deep conditioners are full of proteins, lubricants, and oils to help your hair maintain elasticity, prevent breakage, and give hair back its strength. Now, for the 6 top tips for deep condtioning and washing your hair.
– Use an all natural conditioner Deep conditioning is used to rejuvenate your hair since it’s been
under pressure from manipulation and weather elements. Seek
a deep conditioner that doesn’t have non-suluble silicones, non-permeable oils, and drying alcohols. This will give your hair the opportunity to take in more nutrients and lower the chances of getting product build up. Natural conditoners are the best way to avoid decreasing your strand’s absorption capacity.
– Behentrimonium chloride This is a cationic surfactant that gives your hair that slip while you detangle. Coily hair typically interwine, but moreso when activated
with water. Slip is needed. Behentrimonium chloride gives your
hair that slip that is just as helpful as silicones without the product
build-up.
– Penetrating oils Avocado oil, coconut oil, and olive oil are three oils that
penetrate the hair shaft and get to the cortex. Oils help to slow
down the rate at which moisture is loss from the hair.
-Hyrdolized proteinsThese proteins are proteings that have been set up to seap into the cuticle and fill in the cortex. They help hair bounce back from weare and tear. It replaces protein that get lost in manipulation. CurlyNikki’s Finding Your Perfect Deep Condtioner-THe Ultimate Guide is a wonderful reference to a collection of hydrolized proteins and more information.
-Use heat Deep conditioning with a processing cap under a hooded dryer is ideal. It would be best to stay under the dryer for at least 15 minutes. It takes longer to absorb the conditioners nutrients without confined heat? Again, that’s why my hair comes out refreshed when
deep conditioned.The heat expands the hair shaft and gives the conditioner more availability to seap through. In addition to that, it helps certain ingredients bond to the cuticle.
-Cool water It helps to rinse your hair with cool water after deep conditioning. This step helps to close the culture. Rinsing with warm water re-opens the hair shaft and lose nutrients you just put into your hair. If you find a time where moisturizing and sealing don’t work and your hair keeps laughing at your co-wash conditonder, it is now time to deep condition. The body needs water to be hydrated. Product build up and synthetic ingredients are not the best way to hydrate.
Well I certainly enjoyed the read. I can’t wait to try these methods because it’s been a long journey and I want some extra special results.
Our black race is some of the most fashionable. We see
how they do in Africa. We see how they do in America. We see
how they do all over the world. Therefore, we must point this
out. Our Black people tend to dress in the most dashing way.
We are stars in this world whether famous or not. Black people
have the best swag ever. And people are watching us to see
our style, our class, beautiful, and brilliance all wrap up
like a Christmas present.
There are many things sported in fashion, but
these are the culture fashion amongst our black race.
Trends in the Black Race
1960s-Polka Dots
Loud prints were sported abundantly just 4 decades ago. Out of them
all, the most popular was the polka dot. And who doesn’t love polka dots?
Dresses, bikinis, cool clam diggers consisted of these signature dots.
They draw attention like a money contest.
1960s:Miniskirts
The wholesome conservatism of the 1950s ran through the Swinging Sixties
as a part of a trendful look.
1960s: Go Go Boots
The long go go boots made their way into the scene to pair themselves
up with the short skirts that one could label risque. It’s as if the
long boots made up for the short skirts. The shirt skirts covered
more of the leg will the skirts moved closer to their rear.
Diana Ross and the Supremes:
Their style consist of sparkly and colorful.And what a mixture
huh? Their music was timeless and the drama behind the scenes
was so huge that it keeps their history memorable.
1970s:Platform Shoes
These clunky heels have a unisex purpose and has cause people
to have ankle accidents. But hey, it was a fashion!!
Bell-bottoms
Bell bottoms was seen all over, everywhere in the 70s decade.
Whether White polyester, classic denim or technicolor versions,
it was a popular look and oh so faddish!Here, Earth, Wind, and
Fire are rocking the technicolor version of bell bottoms.
Leisure Suits
These are 3 piece polyester suits often topped off with wild
printed shirts with mammoth collars. I can’t see how they’d
ever go out of style, but to the ladies and gentlemen
of the world, they did.
Pam Grier
She would wear things that can be described as hippie-chic,
and casual. She was a beauty and sex icon.
Richard Roundtree
His signature? The sideburns that accent his face, his
leather blazer and slick turtlenecks to take care of his
top half.
Door Knocker Earrings
And has anyone heard of door knocker earrings? And
what a title for a pair of earrings? I’m going to
be hearing the sound of knocking all day today.
Anyways, these earrings are a beauty symbol.
Yellow gold was the best symbol of extravagance
in the 80s. Salt and Pepper sported them as well as
Nefertiti emblems, door knocker earrings, big
gold chains, etc.
I myself can see why these trends were trends.
The clothes just sit there so aglow (bright)!
I’d be glad to bring these trends back one day.
I wouldn’twant to wait for someone else to bring them
back. I’d want to be first. Anyways, these images
leave a long lasting impression and I can’t
see why they would ever leave. After all,
popular trends are like sunshine, they brighten
up the day. Good day people!
Don’t you just indulge in the greatest hairstyles your hair
can achieve? It’s very important for me to have my hair done.
For the longest, I was walking around wondering what hairstyles
were for me? One I discovered after walking around with no one
to do my hair.
I kept asking around and it costs 40 dollars to get a relaxer
and some pin curls. That’s what I wanted but I didn’t get the
pin curls. I got the curls that lay flat on your head though.
I got the supreme and ultimate best-finger waves! It made
me want to jump in the sea, find the nearest ocean and
swim! No, just kidding! Hair and swimming just don’t mix.
I don’t trust the water.
I got the flipped curls after walking around and people told
me they would do my hair and didn’t do it. I was frustrated
walking around with my angry face all NEGATIVE. My hair
is important to me, God knows.
I can’t wear anything beautiful without having my hair
done. The hair doesn’t make the person but it sure does
make you feel good. That’s my high just like Jesus Christ,
but he’s even better.
Fingerwaves truly defined my oval shape head. On the other
hand, my flipped curls looked great. I had to add bangs
so the focus wouldn’t be on my forehead. I also told
the hairstylist to add bands and flip it at the bottom
only when I got the fingerwaves as you can see. I felt
like I was in the 1920s. It’s a superstar type of look.
With the head full of flipped curls, I thought of this
on my own.I was just tired of my hair looking the same.
I had to do something about so boom ! I jumped on it.
I even curled my hair while I was excercising doing
squats.
So ladies and gents, which hairstyle do you think suits you
the best? Fingerwaves or flip curls?
Curls dominate don’t they? I’m still trying to decide which one I love better curls or braids? I love going back in time with curls because the 1920s look is outstanding and I love curls because they look so animated.
And then it gets me in an animated and
lively mood. Curls are a girl’s best friend. They stand at attention. They are flexible just like a gymnast. I love curls.
Anyways, I want all of you to know how to
curl your hair the heatless way.Heat everyday is bad on the hair. It’s also tiresome curling the hair too much. So you don’t have to use
heat. You have the heatless option.
Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! are you listening?Are you hearing me? Here are the heatless ways to curl hair.
1. Magnetic rollers- Get these rollers so you can get the bounciness and fullness that will work the crowds.They may be a pain to sleep in
says my source but they are an option. Don’t get the cheap ones if you don’t want them to
tug at your hair. Ask a beauty expert how to maneuver these rollers so they don’t cause you discomfort and see what they say.
2.Strawllers- They are said to give people shiny and smooth straw curls and can be divided to give volume.You want that big hair look? Go get strawllers. They aren’t flexible and look uncomfortable but they are there for you. Ask a beautician for a way to make
these more comfortable.
3. Flexi-rods- They gave one lady loose waves. She also said they make hair curl tight.
4- Curl formers- See how popular curls have become? Now they have these curl formers. The hook on these things help work your curls into spirals. Curl formers are there to give you a looser spiral than what strawllers give.
5.Pin curls- I have yet to try these curls. I got my hair relaxed with the multiple moisturizers built into it. I got the gel and the hair lotion. Soon, I will try these pin curls.These curls is easy and comfortable.
That’s an unbreakable bond. You can even go out of the house without taking them out.
6. Bantu knot outs- They are similar to pin curls. Therefore if you like you can wear them just the way they are. Another option you have is to unravel them. The smaller the areas
of hair are sectioned into, the more obvious they will be. They will be obvious though like
in your face obvious.
7- Braid-Twist outs- Try this. Section off your hair into several braids or even twists. The more you have, the fuller it will look.
Take them out and play with the curls to give your hair some action. Okay, ready to style? Get moving.
You’ll be photoshoot ready even if you won’t go to one. With all these ways to curl heatless,you might just form an obssession.
Nothing wrong with styling.
I always feel like my hair looks. My belief is that I should have vivacious curls, a vivacious hairstyle. After all my clothes need that balance, good hair, good outfit.
A great hairstyle will keep me posing for days. It always make me feel like a supermodel. I wouldn’t mind modeling though,
would love it.
In conclusion, I love those curls and the many ways you can get them. They got curls for every face shape and every personality. You can set it off with those hairstyles.
Thanks for reading!Got something on your mind? Take the podium in my comments section.
I love water. No one can duck and dive in it like Rihanna
in her video Umbrella. I love swimming, how it feels and
how elegant it looks.
Water aerobics is a great type of aerobic work out.
This is one way for you peeps to stay fit and healthy
without sweating your core out. It’s also a way to
avoid stressing your body.
Dig this, water reduces the effect that gravity has
on your body. Therefore, stretching under water
will cause little strain on your joints and give you
greater range of motion than on land.
Water gives greater resistance to your movements
than air does. Thus, you burn more calories when
doing aerobics in water. This type of resistance
will raise your muscular endurance and cardiovascular
fitness.
The buoyancy provided by water will give you better
balance, posture, and flexibility, and thus lessening
your capability for injury. Studies show that waist
deep water supports 50% of your weight and
chest deep water even more at 90% of body weight.
THis is what makes water aerobics very
beneficial for people with arthritis, osteoporosis,
joint problems or back pain.
Water has a massaging effect on your muscles. This
gives water aerobics the power to let our your tension
and stress in your muscles. So if you want to calm
and soothe that body of yours, you can always
give water aerobics a try.
Water aerobics blends body movements and dance
routines. You can put music to it. COme on
and come up people! Jazz it up!
Even if you a pregnant woman, you can benefit
from water aerobics low impact routine. This will
comfort you in your labor period and delivery. It will
help ya’ll recover and lose those additional pounds
gained during pregnancy very fast. Yet, like
any excercise, it’s always best to ask your
doctor if it’s okay to do.
Now we all know, there’s kicking, punching
and dancing on air, but how many people actually
have or want to try water aerobics? If so get
ready for a beautiful fireworks type of display.
It sounds like much fun, wanna try?
Well, I’m very much into fashion. I love blue eyeshadow. I love
dresses that fit me. I enjoy sweater dresses. I always say
let’s get pictures from different angles. I love to dress up.
As I’ve grown, I am now addicted to dresses and dressing up.
Help me! I don’t feel right wearing pants. I feel like that’s
just another day I could have dressed up. I like dresses even
more than I like shorts. It used to be the other way around
because shorts are more comfortable but with all the dress
designs and this showing my legs, I just can’t help myself.
I praise God for dresses! Oh thank you Jesus!
I recently bought a dress designed by Beyonce. It was nice
and classy looking, small like me. THe thing is, it was lacking
in length. I tried most of the clothes on, but not this dress.
It’s too short to even wear out in public. I was disappointed.
Lesson learned, don’t buy it till you try it. Try everything on.
I was in a rush. I had to get back to the campus cafe before
it closed. I bought and there were some things I did not
try on.
The thing is most of the time if I don’t be careful, I get something
entirely too big. I went to City Trends, got some white spandex
thinking they were my size. I get back to the dorm, try it on in
the shower stall and noticed they were huge. It was as if my
eyes were deceiving me.
I love dresses because they are lady like and pretty. I love
clothes that fit me. That’s what I seek out.
Isn’t always best to be lean? I mean after all, they say
go for the lean piece of meat if you want to be healthier
and lose weight. It’s not always an easy task especially
when you are obssessed with fried foods and foods
rich in fat.
There are people in this world who are naturally skinny
and don’t gain weight. God has gave this people a true
benefit. I’m proud to say I do taebo one hour or more
each day, so I work for mine. Some people are just
born really thin. My dad was thin about 140 and he
was about 5’6 in height. I take after my dads genes.
Lean means that one has the correct percentage of body
fat for their body type.
There are 5 lean factors:
Lean genes- Look at your parents if your kids. Look at your grandparents if your parents.
If are trim or used to be in their youth, you have a better chance of never becoming fat.
If one or even both parents were over fat than you can still be
lean but you have to work harder.
Body types- Lean and tall body types are typically longer and lighter than
what’s on the growth chart. Ectomorph babies, children and even adults
have piano fingers and long slender type feet. Ectomorphs get more
calories in height than they do in weight. People with ectomorph body
types are hyper metabolizers, meaning they tend to burn off calories
easier and can make the adjustment of their food intake to calorie level.
They eat much and don’t gain weight. These are really blessed folks.
So many people wish they had this trait. Anyways, look out for those
ectomorphs, they some powerful people!
Stocky children and adults are average in height and weight and height
and weight are basically the same percentage on the growth chart.
These square shaped bodies are typically over fat than rectangular
ectomorph friends.
Short and wide persons, known as endomorphs have the best chance
of becoming over fat. And please pay attention to the spelling,
ENDomorphs are fatter than most. It’s ECTomorphs who are
skinner than most. Pay attention to the spelling so ya’ll won’t
be confused. The rare people have both body types.
Metabolism- IF you have a fast metabolism, you have an extra
special body feature. That person burns fat like easily. Just
envision the fat turning into smoke and vapor. Yet, on the
other hand, slow metabolisers burn fat slowly. That’s storing fat.
Body build and what you inherit determines whether you are a
fat burner or a fat storer. Take this case for example:
Two children come from the same exact family, one is slim,
the other is not, yet both eat the same types of food. Susie
Overweight says “No fair. My sister gobbles banana splits,
yet I’m a size 16 and she’s a size 8.
People that’s just life.
Temperament- Active people with much energy take the calories out.
Couch sitters take in the fat. You can observe such tendencies
in an infant. A lanky, wiry, very active baby, moreso one with
active parents, has a very little chance of becoming fat. Mellower,
rounder and quieter babies burn less calories and tend to be
fatter.
Eating habits- People who eat nutrient dense foods in proportion
to their energy needs are typically leaner. People who eat
an excess of high fat empty calories are less likely to be
lean. Don’t just think quantity, but what is the quality of
food you are eating? Ladies and gents….think about it.
Control body fat.
A person gets fat because they eat more calories than they burn.
You get lean if you burn more calories than you eat. That means
get more excercise.
Stay lean, keep like your treasure chest by eating leaner foods,
eating differently, excercising more or a bit of both. I myself
would rather exercise more and I do, when I eat more than
usual.
I always focus on keeping my body revved up just like a train
in full speed. You can do it too.
ANd don’t forget to check out why people get fat..
They have 3 times the risk of being fat if both parents are fat. They
may get 40% of calories from fat that about half that 20-25%.
THe hormone insulin does more than just keep sugar in control , but
it also controls fat.
Ok, haven’t you all come away with new information? I sure have learned
something. The moral of the story is be careful how you eat, what you eat. It’s not all heredity in your leanness, sometimes it’s what you do to yourself. Got it?
What’s the most valuable thing a person can do to their body besides
Keep it healthy? Lose weight! It’s an acheivement to lose weight or even maintain it.
But let’s keep losing weight until we are satisfied. That’s my motto. All I want to lose is weight. Water weight is one of those annoying pesky little pests. I hate it. And water
can send you rushing to the bathroom just like water pills. Who thought of this?
I don’t know if it’s like that for everyone but that’s something I can do without. I mean it’s ridiculous. Anyways,have you ever been so proud to lose weight for it to go up to a certain point? People let’s get out of the weight loss plateau!
A. You could exercise harder with a deeper intensity. If you are not losing weight at walking 3 mph, do 3.5 mph or 4 mph.
It just depends on how
Much weight you want to lose. You have to have a determined mind to get A hard body. You have to work your body hard to get true and defined Results. If you want, you can do weight loss intervals or weight loss intervals to lose your last pounds.
B. Next, you can do different excercises every 3 weeks. Your body gets tiredof the same workout. Also, we people tend to get bored with the same routine. So spice it up like a person would use salt to spice up French fries.
That will get your blood pressure high. What will lower it? Ask a doctor.
One example though of changing excercises is this: A lady who lost 25 pounds walking on a treadmill everyday but after 2 months she stopped losing weight. We
all know how frustrating that is.
Then she started using an elliptical machineand lost 7 pounds. See? Now you can do the same. To speed up the weight lost process, do a weight loss exercise on nowloss.com
C. If you are not losing weight at walking for 45 minutes, do 60 minutesor do 2 hours. The question is, how much weight do you want to lose?
D. If you exercise 3 times a week, go for 6 times or 7 times a week.
I myself went from excercising 5 days to everyday. It’s a sacrifice
In getting up in the morning when I could be sleep. But I’m very body
conscious and always checking my body.
E. Workout twice a day. You can workout in the morning before
Breakfast, before lunch, and after dinner. Just be like a hustler.
That’s what exercise is like a hustle. You need to pay bills so you
Work. Exercise is like work, but it shows more in how you look.
Those celebs, athletes,bodybuilders and models work out twice a
day to lose their last few pounds of fat.
F. Make sure you go harder than your last workout even by an inch.
G. I myself make sure to eat right, which is what people need to do to lose weight.
I eat grits and little bit of eggs. I eat fruits. I eat chicken with veggies like string
Beans and greens. Then on the weekend, Friday and Saturday ONLY I have more than a little because I can’t help myself.I’ll have pancakes or French toast,or 4 french toast, pizza,pizza slice again, spaghetti, bread, chicken,mash potatoes,
sausage links, eggs, tacos, lemon desserts, peach cobbler, cookies, fries,etc.
I just know I splurge. I still lose weight though. I guess those two days are not hurting.
But I exercise everyday , remember that. I even walk up and down the street for 2 hours.
I walk an hour. Sit down, Walk another hour. You have to be more active if you eat like that on the weekends especially so it can afford you to do that, but it’s best not to
Eat like that everyday no matter what exercise you do.I don’t really think it’s good to splurge like that. Ask a doctor if it causes health problems to splurge on 2 days.
I do have certain pains kinda from splurging for those too days. I guess I should cut back on the food. It’s hard to pick what to take out.I just want ya’ll to be safe and know your risks. Does splurging affect the extent of how we look? Does it make us less toned than we want to be? Does it keep one from losing the last inch off a thigh? I don’t know.
Imagine how backed up one would be if they did splurge everyday. How does the body metabolize a lot of food? PLEASE ask a doctor. I must take my own advice and ask a doctor.
H. Eat less. If you eat less, you can lose weight easier.
I. Very low calorie diets don’t work because they make people overeat. Your body will go into starvation mode.
J. Make sure you have the correct protein, carb, fat ratio.
Those are most of the “Get out of your weight loss plateau” tips. It was a few more,but those are great ways to keep losing weight. Go hard, go fast, go strong. Get it done!
We all know how great it looks to have a flat stomach. We
want a flat stomach, flat as a pancake minus the fat that
pancakes cause if ate too frequently. Hoola hoop is a simple
game. It takes no professional skills to do. I’ve done it.
Other people have done it, but how much time do you spend
hoola-hooping? That is the key…. Put your hoola hoop to
more use, put it in motion. It’s like a steering wheel around
the waist without the restriction.
People who want to lose stomach fat should hoola-hoop
for 30 minutes. We know it’s difficult to keep the hoop
going for 30 minutes non stop, but keep starting it over
for 30 minutes. That’s what they are saying.
Hoola Hooping: It causes you to use all the muscles in your midsection to keep the hula hoop for 30 minutes. You
can even bump that up to 90 minutes as a low intensity
workout.
Whoever knew hoola-hoop could be so useful physically?
I have not tried long enough to find out. Anyone who uses
one often for a good amount of time should know and
now that you know, what will you do about it? Ready,
get set, going! Time to hoola-hoop!
