What I've Learned... This Month

So this is a new style of post that I wanted to share with you guys. As I'm growing in life.. I'm constantly learning new things about myself & this beautifully crazy, amazing life I've been blessed with. So what have I learned this month??

SIMPLICITY is KEY!! 

And just how have I applied this method of thinking to my life??

Mind:
There's somthing profoundly joyful about the simple task of painting my nails on a bummer emo kind of day! Girly things like this.. Always a mood changer! Also, Im a terrible procrastinator, however, if I simply set small goals for myself each day.. I get TONS done && the happy vibes flow!

Body:
Eating better makes me feel better!

Hair:
Less products & manipulation = Healthier Happier Hair

Skin:
I can make my skin immensely heathier if I simply wash my face 2xs a day! ( with oily skin it's a must) && STOP sleeping on my satin pillow case! (it breaks me out! Gross!) 

Spirit:
Simply praise.. Simply pray.. Simply smile at strangers... ALL good for my soul! :)

So ladies && gents.. How do you keep it simple in your own lives? What have you learned about yourself this month? Sound off in the comments below!

Transitioning Styles

Here's a look at some of the transition styles I've been rockin' the past few months (March to present)...

My lazy day/I'm in a rush style: 2 flat twists into a bun

Flexirod sets... I do these often!

And when flexirods go south LOL... a messy top pony will do!

My scarves are in heavy rotation!

2 weeks ago, I got my hair pressed & 2 inches cut off!

Now that press lasted all of 2 days! It was so hot.. my hair reverted!  -__-

I'm loving the fact that I got lots of new growth && there is such an apparent difference between my natural hair & my relaxed ends. My hair is feeling MUCH thicker and healthier despite my lack of a consistent regimen. && the fact that since the trim I am 2 inches closer on my journey to a head full of unprocessed healthy hair has me excited!! Whoop Whoop!! :)

BONUS Pic ^_^

After a wash recently I was so amped to see this cute little curl in the back that I had to snap a pic! Haha! Lame I know but OH WELL!! I was too hype!! LOL!!

I've yet to set a consistent regimen, as I'm still trying out products && I'm hair lazy! Any curlfriend's out there with any tips, product suggestions or transitioning advice??
