Do any of you have this App, "Hair Journal" on your phones? If you do, great!!!

Let me tell you a little something about the App that led me to download it on my phone and that will most probably convince you to do the same. Hair Journal is an App that allows users input their favorite hair products, upload images of their hair and hairstyles, track length checks on a calendar and even set goals based on hair length or health. The best part of the App is its customizable homepage, where you can indicate whether you have relaxed, texlaxed, texturized, transitioning, natural or loc’ed hair.

It's free by the way! On IOS or Android. It's freaking awesome, sort of like Instagram for hair, only better.

I'm sharing my "length check"today because I badly want to track my hair progress this year and hopefully retain major length, I've decided to quit any server experimentation with my hair, for now till I reach my hair length goal {bra-strap length} I'm going to pay close attention to my hair and basically stick to low manipulation, moisturizing and deep conditioning.

I know of three ways to do a length check, one is where you use a length check shirt, another is where you use comparison shots and the final one, you simply measure using a tape measure.

I chose the latter, straightened my hair using a blow dryer because shrinkage and found that my hair is currently six inches long, somewhere between collar bone length and shoulder length.

 See, I'm no product junkie! Ha!

I wish I had the time and energy to write full reviews of the products I have displayed above, I'm pretty fatigued than usual, I guess because I donated blood today at campus, I just want to sleep... Sweet sleep is calling. I'll do a review of the products in a future post.

Happy New Month! Happy Friday! Hope you have a spanking weekend.

Indeed, fashion does repeat itself. I remember when I was about seven years old seeing young women wear crop tops, back then guys referred to them as "tumbo cuts" haha! It's amazing that once again, crop tops are a huge trend!!!

Well today, I decided to take inspiration from the past. I paired my mom jeans, which I now consider a closet staple, with one of my favorite crop tops and... Because I currently live in Nairobi, Kenya and a few people here find it hard to understand that "my dressing is my choice" I thought it wise to include in my outfit this really cool, colorful Aztec print bomber jacket, to help cover up when in public places... Also, to avoid all the stares I would definitely get due to exposing my midriff area.

Hmph! Can't a sister just wear whatever she wants?? Come on! Lol!

I've made some tweaks on the blog, added a few sub-pages to original pages, if you've happen to explore them already and found a blank space, not to worry, each page will have content as time goes by. I intend to start sharing my health and fitness journey, my skincare and natural hair regimen.

I'm no expert on web design, everything I know, I have learnt off Google. Hope you like the look and feel of the blog... If you don't though, please feel free to let me know.

I went for a simple grunge look last weekend and really liked the fact that I didn't put too much thought into creating the ensemble.

There are days when as a naturalista I have zero, nada ideas on what to do with my hair, so I basically finger comb it and let the fro be all wild.

I've been doing yoga lately!!! Freaking love that shit! I'll put up pictures here of a few of my favorite poses or as yogi's call it "asanas" very soon.

Happy Monday! Enjoy the rest of your week! :-)

Madness

Love is a temporary madness

It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides

And when it subsides 

You have to make a decision

You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together 

That it is inconceivable that you should ever part

Because this is what love is

Love is not breathlessness 

It is not excitement 

It is not the promulgation of eternal passion 

That is just being in love 

Which any fool can do

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away 

And this is both an art and a fortunate accident

Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground 

And when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches

They find that they are one tree and not two

~O~

The beautiful words above are from Captain Corelli's Mandolin, a novel by Louis de Bernières. Originally, it's a quote, but I've edited it a bit, made it appear like a poem for a better reading experience.

I'm enjoying my Singles Awareness Day!!! Are you??... Come on! Give me some consolation here, I can't be alone on this haha! 

It would please you to know that I was contemplating to sleep all day, from yesterday, then wake up on 15th.

Happy Valentines! I love you all! :-)
