We're moving!....Fresh start!

Heyy!

I hadn't even realized I have been a blogger since 2009, Sept 2009 to be exact. It has been a really really joyful experience to get to know everyone on blogger. However, it is time for us to move on. I have been in the process of transitioning to something new these last few months. By moving we can broaden the look of the site as well as bring in new viewers. Don't get me wrong, Blogger has been awesome these last few years. It's just for the audience I am looking to reach, it no longer serves a purpose for me. When I started blogging I didn't care really about content or who read my blog. It was just for fun in the beginning. Then it transitioned into, "oooo I can make money" from this. I had no real true vision at all, and when I did I had no internet to post anything. 

Then there was the fact that I have no niche, I have been all over the place trying to figure out where I fit in. After years of figuring it out, I eventually gave up and just started posting whatever I felt like. There is nothing wrong with this concept if it's just for fun and not monetary gain. But when you take the time and effort to edit, take photos, post photos and edit them, it shouldn't be free of cost. I will admit that once I began to see what it was I can do as a blogger, and get paid for it I knew that I had to begin to take it more seriously. It's not always about money, it is about helping people. Buttttt money is important in any industry we decide to do. 

I just wanted fresh start with a new found niche. To be able to bring some amazing content from a fresh new site, that I am hosting and that I own. Me!!!! Better pictures, better graphics, better posts, all of the above!! 

More consistency is the numero uno!!

I am so very excited for what is to come and I can not wait for you all to see the new designs and logo for pynkstarr.com . It's going to be fabulous!!

There is no date yet for the rebranding of the site but it will be soon. Once graduation is over I will be able to focus 100% of my time on this site.

Until next time, see you all over on the new site! Fresh start!

XO, Pynkstarr

One great tip to finding balance as a college student

This is my last post for the college student series :(. I really enjoyed writing this series because it is who I am! It's what I identify as at the moment because I have been a college student for many years now. And I have learned a few things along the way!!

I can't wait to get started on my next series!

So my final tip is how to balance life AND being a college student? Well, something I have learned over the years is to take a moment for myself, like do something you love. Some people like to read, others go shopping, I like to write and meditate. I just, at times, need some space from being a student. Although I am grateful for the opportunities that come along with getting my degree, I also know what it is like to have mental breakdown. 

So many times you can feel so over worked and exhausted that your body just shuts down. This has happened to me, and believe me it's not pretty at all. Even if it's for 5 mins, take a break from doing HW and go an do something fun. 

You will see when you come back to work, everything seems to flow better. Your mind has released it's stress and now you can actually get some work done.

Hope this helps!!

I will blog again later this week!!

See ya, and thanks for reading!

Well I have a few solutions for those lazy days!

Omygosh I have been meaning to post this blog months ago because I really love me some ACV. I mean I use it for everything now because it works for everything.

Perfectly Pretty Mini Twists on Natural 4c Hair

First off, I am back! I know it doesn't seem like that long ago that I took my alleged break from blogging, but I am officially back. Yipppy! 

A few weeks ago I shared how my hair was dry and how I needed something to keep it moisturized. My first thought was a protective style like faux locs or havana twists, but it's too hot for all that weave. So instead I opted for mini twists!! These twists lasted me for about 3 weeks only because my hair was no longer holding moisture, not to mention the product build up was unbearable. 

I am doing fine!!

Hi my lovelies,

I know it has been a while, but I am doing well. Just living life as stress free as possible and relaxing on a daily basis. Putting out content is pretty tough when you are a full time student. 

Some things just have to get put on the back burner and my blogging is it. I have so many posts I have in my mind for a few future post and I can't wait to share them. It's just right now it's hard, you have to be self motivated to write a blog post. And once that goes that's it. That's why I try to post as many times as I can when I get those inspiring thoughts. 

But right now I am just like, eh, blogging can wait. There are tons of bloggers in the universe so a few more weeks of not seeing me won't make a dent in the atmosphere or shall I say blogosphere!!!! :) 

Any hoo I'll catch up with ya'll as soon as I have the time.

My umpteenth wash n go experience!

After watching so many videos this week, I kinda of wanted to try a wash n go style again :O!! I know??! Why would I do that again after trying it multiple times in the past and failing at it. But I come to realize it doesn't hurt to try again, plus if it comes out bad I could just wash it out.
