Small Planner haul + my planner shipped

Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I am getting ready for my wonderful planner. I purchased a few things that I think are necessary to do the type of planning that I'd love to do. I want to decorate using my own ideas not just what ever colors the planner has to offer. I didn't get much, and I actually purchased a few more things after this trip. My best purchase was the laminator!! I mean I have been laminating everything I could get my hands on. I have a cute DIY for journaling cards coming soon!

Also my planner shipped and should be in my arms by Monday!!

Finals + New IG page

Hi all,

I feel like I haven't written a post in months, well more like 1 week. But still I try to do at least 2 times a week now. Well let's see what have I been up to....hmmmmm. Lots and lots of planner stuff thats for sure.

I love planners!! College organization update!

Okay so this is an unrelated post about planning and being organized. I try my best to write posts on things that do correspond to my life, meaning I am more than just a big fro. LOL. I also like, no no no, let me correct myself I mean "love" organizing. And this goes all the way back to when I was a kid, making sure my area wasn't too junky or at least not to me. Too others I am definitely sure it was pretty hideous looking. Fast forward to high school when I begin to be more organized with my school work and notes. I was never a note taker before, nor did I write down my homework, which now when I think about it how the heck did I remember anything. Well I didn't because I never really did my homework, and I always forgot to do something. So in high school it was a different ball game, you had to remember your homework because this was your last step before college, "the real world". They gave us little planners and everything, actually my 6th grade school gave me a planner too. So I decorated this planner but unfortunately because of past flooding most of my childhood things are gone. But I do have my 2008 until present planners that I keep around just because. 

My awesome Braid out part 1

Hey lovelies!!!

I have wanted to post a hair "tutorial" for a while now because people some times ask me questions about my hair when I do this style. It's really not much to this style except for patience and the right products.

My favorite protective styles since going perm free in 2010 plus rambles!

I must say that my journey going natural wasn't an easy one because I was 

addicted to straight hair. Like it was pretty bad for a minute during my early twenties because my hair eventually started falling out. And I don't mean gradually I meant I woke up one day to do my hair and noticed the back of my head was bald. I covered it up for as long as I could until a woman at work asked me what was wrong. I was so embarrassed because I didn't think anyone would be looking back there. I don't even know what excuse I made, but I am sure I made up some reason for being bald back there. This was in 2008 and you would think that I would have stopped perming then but I didn't. I eventually was able to afford to get my hair done professionally, instead of the usual $10 doobie I was getting. She gave me some Dr. Miracle stuff that really did help my hair grow in back there. But I also want to count the fact that I was actually beginning to take care of my hair. I was told that you have to treat your hair like you would anything else, you buy food and clothes so put money aside to take care of your hair. And my hair back then was put on the back burner for real. 

Why I love my high waisted jeans so much?!

The one thing I enjoy the most about jeans are my newest find....the High-waisted jean!

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. 

My 1st Marley Loc experience

     Back in august I made the decision to finally try out Marley Locs. I had been admirer of this hairstyle for a few years now after looking at all of the pictures on Pinterest and videos on YT. I just never wanted to try it because it looked like too much work. Which it later turned out to be.

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.
