This week in episode 3 we saw Sloane trapped in some room, after last week's kidnapping she is still there. The guy who kidnapped her tells her he works for Oscar (but for some reason I don't believe him) and that she has to write a suicide note or else he'll kill Ahsha.

What to Plan Now!! --- Planner decor for June & July 2015 + My fave sites to get FREE printable stickers!

Well I know it's way past Wednesday but here I am. I was scrolling through my blog when I realized I haven't posted anything on my planner in months!! 

I am very simple when it comes to planning, usually I stick to my homework for the week with minor decor just to spice it up a little bit. I mean, what else can be more motivating than pretty stickers and wash tape!!! 

Here are a few pics from June:

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. 

Crazy for jumpsuits this summer!!

This just in...JUMPSUITS are the new summer trend. Okay, so, not new per say, but definitely a reemerged trend from like 4 years ago Jumpsuits from 2011.

Avocado hair mask!!

Hey people!!! Omgosh I have been meaning to post my new hair routine but just haven't really made the time to do so. With school and life some times my plans go haywire when it comes to my blog. Either way I feel as though this part of my hair routine has helped nurse my hair back to 60% better than where it was at. 

Teavana HAUL

Hey all!!! Recently I went to the Teavana store finally after years of hearing  about how amazing their teas are. I am a lover of tea so for me, I am not particular about what brand. It just has to taste good. And smell delicious. Both of those were checked off once I got to this tiny little store.

The aroma alone had me stoked to find the perfect teas. Plus I received an email that I could get a free one because I am a Starbucks member. After being confused at what kind of teas to buy, the nice guy and lady helped out with some great choices. They let you taste any tea displayed and since this was a holiday treat to myself all of the holiday teas were available. 

New Year, New Life changes!!

Happy New Year people!!! 

My first experience on a train.....Tips for taking an Amtrak Train Overnight.

Hey all I just got back from such a wonderful trip to Florida to visit my boo and I must say it was so much fun...once I arrived. The ride there was awesome but it was extremely long and exhausting. The best parts were the fact that my mommy came with me, being able too see nature and different towns. But that's basically it. If you have to ride OVERNIGHT and if you have about a grand to spare then I suggest you get a roomette. We had a coach seat which wasn't too too bad, but after about the first 10 hrs your butt falls asleep. Then when it's time for lights out, around 10pm, and you began to get tired finding a comfortable sleeping spot was difficult for my mom and I. Her more than me because of her height. I am only 4'10'' so I was kinda able to curl up in a ball on the seat. I can't sleep sitting up, but if you can then do you boo. Otherwise get a room!!!

BAPs Season 1 and Episode 3 review/recap

This show is unreal every time I watch it I am in shock. I feel like when I watch many reality shows I see how others try to emulate upper class black people but just end up looking like a hot mess. Well if this is the only example of upper class black people then they are all the same. The same people that diss poor people or look down on poor people act no different than the misrepresentation that is out there. That poor people don't work, live a ghetto lifestyle and have nothing going for them.

Hit the Floor Season 2 Episode 11

Last night's episode of Hit the Floor was so juicy. I mean of course I was super mad about last weeks let down. But I understand why the writers do what they do. 

So to recap the episode.

Sloane returns to her office to see her envelope is missing. Jelena is always one step ahead of everyone in everything. She literally has eyes all over the country. Sloane has an Oscar-take-down group meeting with Kyle and Raquel.They disband since all the evidence is gone anyway. Terrenece's injury is now in the media, Jelena tells him about Zero. Oscar is supuscious after that ME called him about the girl he sent, when Oscar never sent a girl. The ME goes missing. LOL. He knew he messed up big time. Oscar spoke with a cop who is looking for the ME and informs Oscar that Chase was cleared of killing Oliva and that he is now the new targeted suspect. Oscar will not have it. He talks to Jelena about staying in her place. She informs him she is not the one he should be worried about. Lionel is pregnant and goes to tell Pete when she over hears him and Sloane exchange I love yous. Sloane cries in the bathroom and runs out upset, bumps into Jelena, throws away baby shoes. 

Jude now needs to make sure his alibi with he and Derrick being together the night Olivia died is still intact. Kendall gets an exclusive with Derrick regarding his future with the team and questions about Terrerence. Zero and Oscar are talking in the stands and Oscar knows he needs Derrick more than ever now. So he tell Kyle of a new plan regarding cocaine and other drugs. A video camera and some cash to taint Derrick's chase to leave the Devils if he planned on it. She agrees to help him. German questions Kendall's motives about the information she had to give up in order to get a raise. I mean why did he expect anything less right. Kendall is a cool girl but she came to LA to work and will do anything to get to the top. 

Team heads to Boston, MA. They do a flash mob dance. Sloane calls Jelena to speak to her after Asha informed her that Jelena was in the stadium late last night.  Then Lionel pops up at her house. She blames Sloane for her marriage never really being a marriage. yea and I am sure alllll that partying and drinking/drugging had nothing to do with it. She tells Sloane she hates her and leaves. While in Boston I noticed some chemistry between Asha and German. AWWW.

As Asha is practicing to Tinashe's 2 On in walks German. He gets a lap dance from Asha then leaves for his date, more like sex date with Kendall. Asha continues to practice her strip tease a lone. Then German comes back and they have sex on the floor ewww because that floor is Christina Augiulera dirrty!

Jude goes to tell his dad about Sloane and Raquel's plan when his father interrupts him and tells him about Olivia and him meeting. Oscar had Olivia followed and saw everyone who she spoke to that day. He assumed it had to do with the fact that Jude's neighbor informed him of his male on male activities. Then tells his son he won't except it. And says he has no son :(. So sad.

Raquel asks Pete to marry her. Jelena meets Sloane and tell her she no longer has the paper work she had on Oscar. Then you see Lionel walk into Oscar's office with the paper work :(. Plan failed again. 

Kyle tells Derrick what Oscar was up to and they come up with a plan to bring Oscar down. YAY! But she says one of them would have to leave LA. BOOOOO! I can do without Derrick's fine ass tho. I just love Kyle's spunky character. 

Next week is the Season finale but there will be a new season 3 next year so yay.

See ya next week

Pynkstarr.

TV Review: BAPs Season 1 Ep 2

Okay I know I said I was not going to be into this show but the latest episode was pretty good. Also my new favorite character is no longer Anesha. Her attitude in this episode was just bad. She may either be on something or just crazy. They were drinking a lot in this episode so maybe that's it.

TV Review: The Killing Season 4 episode 1 recap *spoilers*

I think I have been anticipating this season of The Killing since two years ago. LOL. At least it feels that long anyway. This new season is the last :(. But so far so good. And since it comes on Netflix now, we get to binge watch all six full hour episodes in one sitting. So let's get to the recap, spoilers will ensue.

TV Review: Sisterhood of Hip Hop sneak peek review

Hey ya'll there is a new show out called,

I watched the first I guess you can call it an episode last night and I must say it wasn't all that bad. But I don't think it's "rachet" enough for todays TV reality shows. Although I believe we have come a long way as far what we like to view (look at the success of scripted dramas out now). I still know we still like our reality shows to be a little hood. 

So here is what I thought!!!

Oh boy it just will not end....Discrimination debate is boring me!

What won't end you say???

The "natural hair debate"...... Which one you say?

LOL, because there are so many, right!

Video: Being Natural is Complex

Hey ya'll
I made this video last year to show how trying different things on my hair hair, like wash and go's just don't work alone. Hello can you say shrinkage. Well this is a mishap using Tresemme Conditioner flawless curls and Eco Styler Gel. I ended up having to twist it up because it wasn't as "shiny,curly" as most wash and go's are. Lesson learned!!

Enjoy the video below :)

I think I have readers block?!

Okay so this may not be a real thing but I think I have really am suffering from readers block. I purchased all of these things to get me inspired to write and meditate on all these goals. And I have yet to accomplish this. So I am sure this problem has risen due to me always over whelming my life. I  put so much on my plate because I feel like I should be doing something at every min of the day. I don't know if this is a disorder I have or just something that most people go through. I just try to figure everything out on my own and when I am unable to figure things out in a timely matter, I become really stressed. Which brings me to my readers block. I feel like I need to be reading all of these books I have, I feel like I should be taking notes constantly. Reading and writing affirmations all the time. Praying all the time, reading the bible all the time. On top of doing everyday life stuff. So what has happened is because I feel uninspired to do everything, I have just completely stopped doing anything. I haven't been listening to my Gabby B, nor have I been writing in my very beautiful notebook; the one I thought would inspire me to write.

I can not even begin to count how many things I've started and never really completed. There might be a name for this. But I start books, I start projects, I start journeys and I never complete them.

This frustrates me all the time.

How do I learn to just relax? I fear that I am forcing myself into an early grave because I stress about everything. Literally everything. From the time I wake up @7am until I go to sleep at about 11 pm, I am stressed about something. Which I believe is complete madness for any human being to live. I just need to learn how to relax.

So other than that, I started my Externship this week. And so far so good! :) Some times God just puts you in a place where you need to be for right now even if it's not where you'll be forever.

Video: Medley of products

Hey ya'll. The video below was filmed two years ago. The reason I am posting it now is because I am fortunate enough to be able to post videos and blogs more easier now that I have my own internet. Yes I could just say let me start over, but I want you all to see the progress of my hair not just in words. I am proud of the mistakes I have made and want everyone in the natural hair community to know that no one's hair is perfect. Not does it come out perfect every time. We have to take the time to work on our hair so that we can show the world that their version of "good" hair no longer exists. And that we all have good hair because we take care of it.

In this video I did an experiment using multiple products to see what worked and what didn't.
Products used are:
Cantu Shea Butter
Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding
Tresemme Moisture Rich condish
Carol's Daughter hair milk Light

I no longer use any of these products; except when I prepoo I do use Tressemme Moisture Rich Condish. The reason I don't use them anymore is because they never really worked once I went completely natural. Which is crazy right ?? Well the Cantu Shea Butter products I do enjoy once in a while, if I run out of Shea Moisture anything I can always go back to them.
I hope this video helps you all understand the journey it took to get to where I am today and that it didn't happen over night :)

Thanks for reading
