Bangin' Bang

So here's Some tips for cutting a bang with your natural hair.
1. Cut dry. This will allow you to see where your bang will hang when styled.
If you don't cut it dry -like I did- cut it a few inches longer.

2. Use a sharp pair of scissors.

3. Set it right after. This relieves the shock of you cutting your hair and the harsh straight look your hair will have.

Fitness!
Seems like there's something in the water because everywhere I turn, people are trying to eat right, lose a pound, run a bit more, or just plain adapt a healthier lifestyle.
It's a new era and people are becoming more self aware.

I've also been hit with this bug this year! ME! I'm someone who has  had an on again - off again relationship with working out. I've been vegan, vegetarian, a no red meat eater, a jogger, and a yoga gal but nothing really stuck until now.

It started when I downloaded an app called Skimble . This app is loaded with 10 to 20 minute workouts that got me hooked! After a while, I wanted to challenge myself a bit more, so now I'm on this P90x program.

It's the third week and it has been a great challenge. I'm pushing myself and it feels great. I'm learning how to balance my diet (still a work in progress).

I feel like I can't even tell people that I'm doing it because they would look at me like I'm crazy, so I was happy to come across this video that basically hits home with me. I don't want to loose a bunch of weight,
 I want to be fit!

~D.I.Y. T-Shirt Update~

Hey muh peeps!

I was not too happy with the fit of the tee. So I altered it a bit more.

I cut off some excess cloth at the bottom and took in the sides a bit by hand.

Here's the before and after:

~Simple D.I.Y. T Shirt~

Always struggling with what exactly my style is, I've adapted some stylespiration words for myself based off of the looks that always appeal to me...

They are:

Mature       Sexy        Comfortable     Edgy

This DIY falls under the comfortable and I guess edgy side of my ever growing self established sense of style. 

Here's a helpful video on how to achieve the look:

A small detail I added later...small shrug at the top.

OMG!
MEGA drool on this look!
I would rock the HECKA out of this!
And to think, I recently saw some glossified material while shopping with a friend that would be the perfect mock to that oh so fabu skirt - I think I need to double back and pick up 2 yards.

~Happy Valentine's Day!~

St. Valentine married soldiers in secret and then went to prison for his actions.

My valentine wish is that this dedication if put forth into marriages today and the divorce rate is lowered.

Recent statistics for The Bahamas proved that persons in the average marrying age bracket are jumping the broom much less these days. Are we losing faith in love? Becoming preoccupied with 'getting paper'? Playing the field more? Or are we just becoming more careful with our suitor choices?

Whatever the case may be, I pray that love will always be strong enough in a marriage to prove the 'for better or worse' vow to be true.

HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE!
All we need is love....
