Dead Birds = Death?

Two days ago I saw two dead birds. It was around 7am and I was coming home from work. Two days later I found out a close family member died. When I passed the first bird I instantly felt sad because it was a hawk. Hawks to me represent strength and independence. To see it lying on the middle of i285 really caught me off guard.

The second bird was a little song bird. It was laying on the ground right off my exit. As I passed this bird I felt fear. Fear that something was coming, but I didn't know what. Fast forward to today--12:11AM. I get a ominous text message from my sister that said "Call Me".

I immediately felt sick to my stomach. I knew something was wrong and as I sit here and type this out; I am realizing that I was being warned by the universe this whole time. The dead birds were a sign. My cousin's death hasn't resonated with me but I am all too familiar with this role. It never feels like they are gone until you are sitting in the room with them and they aren't moving.

I secretly looked up to my cousin. Her infancy pretty much outlined the quality of her life. She was sickly as an adult but she never let that stop her from shining. In the back of my mind I knew that as long as she was alright and prevailing through life, then I am able to make it through my petty bullshit.

But now she's gone and my heart is aching for my grandma. She's had to endure burying two of her kids within the last two years. Life is so unfair and so are it's circumstances. The end of one journey and on to the next..just venting.

Love&Light

Texture ID...ENTIRE Line - Honest Review

I literally just want to dive right into this review and I will try my absolute hardest to not be long-winded (lol). I had the honor to try the entire Texture ID product line by Sally Beauty. I won them through a giveaway my homie/hair product-plug was hosting. The entire Texture ID line is made with four essential ingredients ( honey, aloe vera, protein, and nutrient rich oils) that are supposed to lock in moisture as well as provide intense definition. Listed below are each of the products from the Texture ID line as well as my initial thoughts. I will also let you know if I recommend the product or not and why I do (or don't recommend lol). Let's get into it.... Texture ID: Curl Clarifying Shampoo  - Rating: 6/10 The shampoo is very light almost too light for my hair, but it lathers well. I love the scent; it's not too heavy but it is also very light almost like a dryer sheet cotton-like scent. The product claims to not strip your hair of natural oils, b...

Learning & Attempting to Grow With Chakras

T he devil is really working overtime during this retrograde. It's okay though. My energy is stronger than this. I always seem to get punished by the universe for being great. And I end up having to choose between one hard decision and another.  I told myself I would be honest when I share a new blog, so please forgive me if I randomly bounce from one thing to the next. This is my mind, my words, and my truth. Honestly, the main thing that keeps me sane is understanding how I feel and why I feel how I feel. That is when I began studying Chakras . If you don't know what Chakras are, simply put; they are the centers of energy that move inside of you. Nutshell of it all, these "energies" maintain your overall balance with the universe around you internally and externally. Now, I am not going to bore you with facts and definitions of what each chakra does. If you want to dive into them, by all means and please give me feedback on what you learn. Too many people t...

Social Media Manage-NOT..

Coming back into the social media world I am noticing how watered-down everyone is. It's ANNOYING AS HELL. But before I dive into this rant-post, understand my background and try be as open-minded as possible. I've had Instagram for years (duh) but this year I decided to change my content. I went from promoting my girlfriend's photography to documenting and blogging my natural hair journey. Everything began April 2018 when I had a little over 530 followers. Fast forward to July 2018 and my follower count is 853. My following grew because I KEEPS IT 110%. *Disclaimer: this rant is not just about IG followers; I will get to the point in a minute :)  Going into this, my intentions were to track the growth/health of my SEVERELY heat-damaged hair, build and CONNECT with naturals all over the world (not just in Atlanta), and share my crazy-ass life experiences visually on Instagram and on my blog.  My intentions are STILL the same, however my views of social media dr...
