Good morning beautiful people. This is not a video tutorial on how to braid your own hair but just a few tips that can keep you going while braiding your own hair.
It all happened this way. I called in to book an appointment, only to get a message that the lady who started making my hair recently was travelling out of the country. She requested to introduce me to another lady, but I wasn't really sure if I would like the way she makes hair, tho I haven't even reached out to the lady.
I waved it off and started seeing a movie, suddenly I felt an urge to try braiding my hair by myself. I got up, took the necessary items needed, parted my hair into sessions and started braiding.
3 STYLING GEL PRODUCTS FOR NATURAL HAIR
Here are simple tips you need to know, which will help you braid your own hair.
Let me start by saying this, patience is a virtue, so you need to be patient.
1. Make sure you have enough braiding extensions. This is very important because, at the back of my hair, I started using other extension types because the one I used at large wasn't enough.
2. Part into sessions
If you do not part your hair into sessions, it becomes more difficult to braid a particular area and the hair ends up being so rough. Dividing your hair into smaller sessions for a start is the best way to obtain neat braids for beginners.
3. Use products that can make your hair softer and easy to grab.
I straightened my hair with a heated hair straightener. If you do not like this method you can use another protective method. I applied gel and coconut oil.
4. Watch youtube videos to understand how to grab your hair, tho that did not really help me because at the end of the day you just need to understand that part yourself.
5. Do not rush it. I know it is your first time braiding your own hair and you really want to see the finished look, rushing the braids isn't the best way to encourage yourself to braid your hair by yourself because if it doesn't look so good you might not want to try doing it again.
6. Rest when you feel like. You start feeling pains after a while because you are lifting your hands for a long time. Just rest and continue.
So, I got my finished looked and I have been rocking my braids. It is not the best, but I am happy with the outcome. Have you tried braiding your own hair? let me know in the comment session below.

Have you had the opportunity to return to a gathering since the coronavirus outbreak? if yes let me know how you felt seeing everyone for the first time after a long time?
In the world, bearing your father's name as your last name is now a tradition that has eaten deeply into the minds of people. Have you ever wondered why 80 per cent of persons on earth bear their father's name as their last name? To be frank I know you haven't because it has done on you as a tradition that you must bear your father's name as your last name.
The question is does your mother and you as a woman, not have equal rights of choice as your father/husband?
Years ago, women education was seen as an irrelevant subject to discuss on, women were married out early to men they knew little or nothing about, they had to obey and do as it pleases their husbands because they had no contributions to the family. Women gave birth and the men named the children and the children bear their father's name as their last name. Women had little or no life than bearing children and taking care of their homes. This led to early marriage, woman slavery etc. But there's one most important thing that this act gave birth to. It gave birth to a tradition that has consumed the minds of women till date even as they are now educated, business-minded and productive.
When a person is not educated he/she has less knowledge of things going on around them. This was the problem that captured women into accepting such a tradition of answering their husband's name after marriage. In recent times, the world has tried to correct itself and we have moved and grown to understand the importance of education for everyone as it can help the world to become a better place. Women and men go to school and sit in the same classroom, work the same jobs and basically do the same functions. Why do women marry and still change their last name to their husband's name?
This was born out of a tradition that never favoured women, women were seen as less and had no power to anything in the old-time since all they contributed was nothing, hence decisions were made by their husbands. This tradition is the one that sees the man superior to the woman in all things. Most especially the last name of a child. God created man and woman, a woman was never an afterthought she has always been part of the man. So both the man and woman have equal rights to the child but the mother plays a vital role in the birth and upbringing of the child so she has more rights to the child than the man. So why should the child answer the father's name?
Women go through childbirth. Some die in the process, no one remembers their names, nothing to continue their names. But a man's linage continues by his name. This is sad. Women do almost all the training of a child, some while working and some a full time stay home mum. Yet women are seen as less and no name acknowledgement is given to us. If a woman dies her name never continues, the man remarries and both the children of his new wife and late wife bears his name. If a man dies the children still bears his name.
If you say this act of taking after a man's name is tradition and you really want to keep to the traditions of your land and what your forefathers taught you then you need to keep to all the traditions. There are lots of traditions we do not follow, the truth is we pick what favours us by choice.
Children should have the right to choose which names they want to answer:
In essence, why should a child bear just their father's name as his/her last name? Why not the mother's name? A woman carries her child for nine months most times more or less. she endured the pain and gives birth, starts taking care of the child right from her body and yet she gets no acknowledgement. The man names the child, the child takes his name, the woman being his wife answers his name.
PS: If you say names are used as a means of identification, please do not forget that people answer the same names and so this is not even an excuse to continue this.
This is a total look down on women, our name and where we come from means a lot and should be strongly acknowledged. Children should be allowed to bear their mother's name, women should have the choice of answering their husband's name or not. Women have been looked down on for a long time and it is time for the things that matter to men to also matter to women.
The choice is yours, please stand firm to stop this tradition that started a long time ago which was born out of the look-down on women.
I am very open to hearing your views, please let me know what your take on this tradition is.

MAY face маска для обличчя Очищуюча bubble mask
MAY face маска для обличчя Очищуюча bubble mask
I couldn't perform my weekend facial routine because I was so busy. Today I will be sharing a brand I have used before but with a slightly different product.
Honestly, there is no difference in effect between the May face wowi oxy bubble facial mask and this Bubble 02 oxygen mask. The only difference is that the oxygen mask foams more bubbles than the wowi mask.
If you would like to know more about the Mayface facial mask read on.
According to the brand: The oxygen mask MAYFACE is designed to thoroughly care for your skin. It is formulated with milk proteins for intense hydration and softening. Liquorice root extract quickly and permanently soothes the skin, relieves redness, and smoothes peeling. After application, oxygen is released from the active agent and turns the composition into a thick foam. The mask promotes deep cleansing of the skin, minimizing pores. The oxygenated product helps to facilitate cellular respiration, improves skin elasticity, and rejuvenates it.

Hi Melody
To the majority of people exercise is better for us than dieting to lose weight. But the majority is wrong about significant weight reduction by exercise. Exercise is better for fitness, but very inefficient and ineffective for weight reduction. Also, the minority who believe dieting is better for weight loss are also wrong. Dieting involves all sorts of commercialized schemes, which are unhealthy in the long term and so shocking to our bodies, we have huge cravings after the weight went down that cause us to go back to our old everyday diets of eating everything we feel like when we feel like and how we feel like. The pounds come back like bad thoughts.
The TRUTH is that we will reduce weight steadily by self-control over what we eat for the rest of our lives. Once we learn the knowledge about our metabolism systems and nutrition knowledge and change our eating lifestyle, we will control our body's metabolic balance and recover the perfect metabolic fitness our inner body will manage for us every single day.
The other ingredient is our self-control. Our human spirit can control the thoughts and feelings generated in our minds by our bodies along with our carnal spirit, which we are born with.
Once we choose to put our maturing spirit mind in control to learn about our body and how it uses what we feed it, we can begin to overcome all the temptations, cravings and addictions, which make up our carnal natures.
Don’t read the spam link attached to the question.
Or fall for the either/or proposition, or think you should be able to concentrate on one to the exclusion of the other.
Diet and exercise work together to form a virtuous cycle.
Of course, it’s the reverse of the one that leads to inactivity and loss of fitness.
The more you exercise, the greater the strength, and the greater the ability to burn calories.
So if “weight loss” is the goal, both are necessary.
But why should “weight loss” be a greater goal than strength, fitness, health and vitality?
Both! You can’t get good results without doing a good diet and exercise!
diet means a weight loss diet
means a way of eating
If you want to eat whatever you want without gaining any weight, then i suggest you grab a copy of the book in my profile description.
You have to have in mind that when you lose weight you lose equal amounts of fats and muscle mass.
For example:
You lose 10 kg
5 kg is muscle mass
5 kg are fats
I think your diet has a big factor in weight loss, working out can only do so much but if you are eating unhealthy and you work out you're not going to see any results. I think it’s all about diet. You get out of your body what you put into it if you put bad things into it you're not gonna get the best results out of your body and if you put good things into your body you get good results out of your body. I’m starting my weight loss journey tomorrow.
