Musings x 4/30/2014

I've never truly put myself first.

currently: unlearning
Social media is losing it's appeal to me

it's always the people that you least expect that support you the most
Just fell in love with Shameless Maya
so many books have been recommended to me lately.. excited to dive in
new piercing this weekend

My biggest regrets usually involve believing in people
"naturally and genuinely curious"
trying not to fall into routines
God's love is manifold
undeniable
CHANGE
having something to look forward to
you have to sacrifice in order to gain
stop talking.
being around positive people
feline
no expectations,
the universe will bless you.. your good deeds won't go unnoticed
starting to get into travel shows.. nice reminder of how big the world is
too many live their lives in fear and don't even know it
play with color

Don't take me for granted
phenomenal woman

TBT x (Self) Length Envy

Jan 2012.

(I look so young here.) 

I was scrolling through old pictures on my macbook today and these pictures caught my eye. I'm so anxious to get my length back.. I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there. Since I started wearing my hair natural ninety-percent of the time, along with lightening it to a blonder shade, I am very cognizant of the products that I use. When I was straightening it constantly products weren't even a passing thought. I've had to throw out so many that contain alcohol and other harsh ingredients because of the damaging effects that they were unknowingly causing, and because of this I feel that my hair is actually healthier. 

( SIDE NOTE: When my hair was this length I never really embraced my curls so I'm excited to see how the length and my 'fro will play out as well. )

It's been four years since I first saw the Foreign Exchange perform in Richmond. It was a great show... perfect atmosphere for date night or anyone who just enjoys a good live show. I'll be in there, bright and early. Doors open at 6.

"Dreams Are Made For Two," one of my favorite songs off the latest album.

It Takes More Than Water To Grow A Garden

it takes more than water to grow a garden

there's a difference between maintaining one, and actually putting love and care into it

why plant the seeds
