If you blinked then you probably missed it!!
Last weekend I decided to do some Havana twists which I have been wanting to do for a while now.
I bought some Marley hair from my local beauty supply shop and installed them, 3 to 4 frustrating hours later I had finished.
I did like the end result but remind me not to do them again!!
I didn’t keep them in very long hence why I did them myself and didn’t pay a lot of money in getting them done!
Check out my video to see how they look!!

In life some of us base our social status/place in life by what job you have, how much money you earn, how many cars and how big your house is. Also the main focus seems to be on what we don’t have instead of what we do have.
But what about self-worth and life meaning??
The words SELF WORTH say it all it’s about YOU as a person not you as a person with certain things added on. What you have to offer and contribute to your own life through just being your true self. You weren’t born with a pocket full of Benjamin’s, a wardrobe full of red bottoms and 6 bedroom house. You was born with a heart and mind which is capable of loving, caring, to make other smile and support others. You were also born into a family may it be big or small and yes you can’t always rely on family 100% but my point is you have them already. They are there to love you and support you!!
So when will people realise that the precious, valuable and priceless things you already have inside you and around you. You can’t go to the store and buy them!
Lets talk about money!
MONEY
Money is an outside influence which can change people, cause arguments and even make people forget about morals and values. Money is an exchange for something else, so one material for in exchange for something else material. This to me is a temporary feeling, like when you buy a new pair of shoes you can’t wait to wear them but then after a while the novelty has worn off. But something like love can be a lasting powerful feeling, yes it can wear off but not in my eyes true love doesn’t weaken.
You can’t buy love, trust, honesty and loyalty so why do you need money to make you feel good?
Now I am not saying that we don’t need money because we do and if I suddenly I was a millionaire of course I would take the money. Money does make life easier as we all know, but it doesn’t make life happier or fulfilling. Convenience isn’t always the best route and doesn’t have the best outcomes.
JOB/WORK/CAREER
So what about the whole job/work/career/business aspect, now yes we see the place we get out income from as VALUABLE because it pays the bills and you are part of a business. The main point of working is to earn money so you can live also we do need something to do with our time.
But don’t let your job or having no job define you as a person!!!
Yes it can mess with how we feel as a person you may have a job where you feel you are not in a high enough position. You may have a job where your one of the people with power, or you may not even be working. Yes people get enjoyment out of their jobs/businesses and most of the times if you own your own business you are probably a lot happier than working for someone else. But what you have to remember is yes we all need to work in some shape or form but we are more than just money.
We are somebody’s daughter, son, mother, father and we can contribute to our own and others lives by realising that you are very valuable already. You have a lot to give in your life aside from work and there is more to life to appreciate and enjoy.
My whole point I am trying to make is that don’t let money define you as a person let it help you and support you to enhance what you already have.
Don’t let money be the only reason you smile!!
Don’t let the world consume you and take away from you being yourself.
Also don’t get wrapped up into it and don’t end up not having time for your loved ones.
Remember money comes and money goes!

One day I woke up and nothing was the same the room was spinning and I didn’t know where I was or who I was. Thoughts of the anger from the night before the throbbing and blocked feeling. What is happening? why is this happening? if only this didn’t happen?
The call for help to find some answers, but then being made to feel you had to be half dead to be helped or even support you. Being cast out with no solution just a piece of paper in exchange for a temporary fix. To be honest there is no such thing as a quick fix there is always the after math. The waiting, the helpless feeling, the unwanted release but yet it needed to happen embarrassing as it was. You reach back to where you was before with some idea but no idea of what is still in store for you. Time passes which feels like forever and a day, when will this end when will you be back to what you were before. You realise that you never go back, you simply move forward but think about the before. The mental part will always be faster than the action, because to think it requires less effort.
The experience, the situation, the never being the same again makes you realise you never even gave losing it a second thought. Never knowing what it would be like to lose something that was precious and just be gone is the blink of an eye. You can never turn back time but you can learn from it, adapt and be grateful that it could have been even worse.
Even though it may not be entirely clear what happened to me, the main point I was trying to make is things happen in life that you can not change.
You have to just learn from it adapt and move on!
The amount of effort you spend wishing and wanting you could be putting that energy into your future being.
The things that have happened try to accept them
The things that haven’t already happened make them HAPPEN!!

I wanted to talk about something a bit different for this post, things can get a little bit materialistic around here and I feel we live in a materialistic world where happiness is built on what you have or can obtain. We live in a time and place where we want things quick (READY MADE), we want to press a button and it just appear out of nowhere. Or we want to work for it but expect the journey to not be so hard, but even if you get your dream the struggle still continues. You have to stay current, be observant, have new ideas and always be on the ball.
First port of call….
JOB/CAREER
Now this is something that you never really take seriously until say about university time (that is if you go). In my opinion you have ideas throughout primary/secondary school of what you want to be, but when you HAVE to get serious is when you start putting things into play.
THE PAINTED PICTURE
Society has painted this picture that you go to school, college, university and you graduate then magically get this dream job. Now maybe the 80s and 90s this was more so possible then, but the current time reflects what is possible now.
REALITY
Realistically you don’t just fall into a ‘dream job’ the hard work continues even after you have collected that scroll of paper. University doesn’t guarantee you a job but what does do is it exposes you to the possibilities and opportunities. It is then down to you to seek internships/work placements and just getting your foot in any way you can.
DREAM JOB
So what happens when you have done it, you are in your dream job role is it all a bed of roses NO! You still have to work as hard, jump over those hurdles and rise to the challenges. You have to always strive to be bigger and better and never think for one minute that you can STOP!!
There will always be someone else who is just waiting to take your place, ever heard snooze you lose!!!
OPPORTUNITY
Some people just want a chance to show what they really can do and never get it. Is that because they didn’t work hard enough to get the opportunity or is it because it passed them by without them knowing. Opportunity comes in many forms, sometimes it can be something that you just don’t want to do. As a result of this you turn it down dismiss it and then you never know where that could have led you. One step always leads you to another, nothing is forever and its the temporary situation that get you through and led you closer to where you want to be.
RELATIONSHIPS
Yes the tricky icky stuff…..
You bother were strangers once didn’t even know each other existed till you crossed paths one day. Was you supposed to or just coincidence, you was meant to teach each other something. Whether it was how to love or just to have that person in your life to get to you next step…
PAINTED PICTURE
This is what we have been told or shown….
You are walking down a street and you catch eyes with you this gorgeous man/woman you smile you stop to say hello and talk. You laugh you smile you swap contact details you go on dates it’s all roses and candles. You end up falling madly in love you get engaged, married, buy a house kids blah blah blah.
REALITY
Now im not saying that all the above is a fairy tale and there is no way it can’t happen. It seems like people don’t meet on the street these days and the places to meet someone are limited. The thing is not all people want the same things and different situations work for different individuals. In most cases in today’s world one person will like them more than the other, one person can’t commit or be faithful. I really think that people make the whole relationship thing more difficult than it needs to be. The reality is that yes relationships are not a fairy tale but you do need to build upwards. Like being friends before anything this creates a foundation or making sure that you can communicate with ease and you can stimulate each other with just conversation. The art of talking can be very powerful and is a very strong element in a successful relationship.
Basically you need to build with someone it takes work just like everything else, time and effort need to be the main factors otherwise you may aswell forget it.
BEING READY
Also there is a being ready factor sometimes you want something that you are not yet equip for. Like this perfect man/women comes a long and just wants to sweep you off your feet. The thing is you came out of a serious relationship 6 months ago and you are still hurt from it and in the process of rebuilding yourself. In my opinion you can not give your best self to that person, yes some people say that person could help you in some way . If you are in the process of trying to move on from your past you may not want to bring it into a NEW future!!!
FAMILY/FRIENDS
Now what you need to remember is that we were all strangers once we had to get to know our mums, dads, sisters, brothers, aunties, uncles etc. No two people will ever live in 100% harmony, yes it can be great but you will have your ups and downs.
These are people who you can take for granted and expect to always be there no matter what….
PAINTED PICTURE
You and your mum have the best relationship you go shopping for meals, your dad would be granddad sitting in the chair with his grandkids running around. You’re the best of friends with your sister and brother see each other on a regular basis blah blah blah…
REALITY
People don’t talk to their parent let alone see them or spend any real-time with them. Yes some people don’t even know who their parents are fair enough but the ones that you do don’t even bother. Siblings who hate each other and don’t talk over things that are not even that serious. Fair enough that their life choice and like I said we were all strangers once so if you feel you don’t get on with a person then you stay away.
Friends who don’t make effort to stay in contact or even know whether you are alive or not. Yes why call them friends otherwise, but these days people do their own thing and you touch base whenever. With so much communication technology these days there is no excuse to never not speak to someone, unless you don’t want to.
SOMETHING READY MADE
Now I did say that LIFE is ready-made but HAPPINESS can be…
Happiness is inside you it is something that you only you can let out
It can be triggered by various things …….
A person that said something nice to you , your nephew saying ‘I love you’ or just that nice summers day. Happiness is a vibe, atmosphere and a feeling.
We try to build happiness by obtaining material things clothes, shoes, cars, jewellery etc. Yes these things can make you feel good, but I feel that those things can only make you feel good temporarily. Material things can bring status and feeling like you have things. But put you in a mansion with a Ferrari on the drive and lots of nice things in there but not one piece of Love.
Are you going to be happy??!!
MY POINT
Basically life isn’t ready-made it doesn’t come all packaged in a pretty ribbon, you have to climb mountains, swim oceans and brave the cold butt naked. Even when we get to where we want to be we can’t just put your feet up and say ive done it you still need to keep on working.
You need to live, love, lose, experience, be hurt and be at rock bottom if you don’t how will you learn how to survive.
Life isn’t ready-made it gets handed to in the smallest pieces with no instructions of how to put it together!!
