YOU fill in the blank!

They are powerful and will cut you like a knife. They can motivate you. They can kill you inside. They could leave you with tears of joy or with tears of disappointment. They create love or hate in your mind. Like the warmth of a blanket they can keep you snug and cozy with a great comfort. Like frost bite they could burn you! You can manipulate them in many ways by changing its form, deliver, appearance, pitch, articulation, phonetics, etc….

They promote business which bring invaluable resources. They are a means of communication in almost all instances. They make or break relationships. They can be misleading. They are persuasive. They can be deep. They can be soft. They come back to bit you in the rear-end.  They show character. They create stories. They put you to sleep. They entice you. They can do many things.

Kids repeat them. They are lost in text. You fumble them. Laugh at them. Shout them out. Write them. Beg with them. Pray with them.

IRRITATING, aggravating, graceful, peaceful, loveable, negative, ARTISTIC, CREATIVE COMMUNICATION,  Romantic, Conformation, your bond, Funny, & now YOU fill in the blank                    !!!!!!!!!!!

How do you use them?

Lonliness

I tried to fight…..but my emotions keep on tackling me. Because of loneliness I have encountered many unwanted people and situations in my life. Unwanted friendships…Unwanted courtships…Unwanted relationships with relatives….Unwanted financial situations…Unwanted life lessons…Unwanted hardships. And not only were these situations unwanted but they were totally unnecessary and avoidable.

Rest in peace…..Be grateful for you time alone. It helps to reflect. Don’t be quick to jump in when it is not called for. See we jump in at all the wrong times but when the right time comes we seem to hesitate a little or resist it fully.

But I cannot..I repeat cannot despair. Because I can control those emotions and you know how I am going to do that. Ha…you already know. His name is GOD. He will help me through my rough times. The good the bad and the lovely

Until next time….Mizz Hayez

Natural Hair Journey

My hair journey September 2009 After a life changing decision, I relocated to
Texas. Shortly after I arrived to Texas I decided…..dah dah dah
dahhhhh…..I’m going NATURAL!!!! My reasoning for beginning my natural journey
was for healthier hair. It was that simple. I have always taken the easy way out
by getting my hair chemically processed (permed). Don’t get me wrong I’m not
saying that this is what everyone else’s reasoning for getting chemically
processed is but it was my reason. My hair had feel out and I must admit that it
was not only because of chemically processing my hair but it was that combined
with STRESS and not properly conditioning and moisturizing my hair. (Yes stress
does have an affect on your hair) Since my late teens, I knew it was time to
stop chemically processing my hair. I even cut my hair very short but was not
mentally prepared and was misinformed about going natural. I was so upset at
myself because I basically did a BC. But anyways should’ve could’ve would’ve.
Now in the present is all that matters! I am so joyous that I began my journey.
But……….I was still uneducated. LOL I was going to the salon and getting my
hair pressed every two weeks. I went through hours of getting my hair pressed
with grease and gook. As soon as i went outside in the Texas heat it would
revert right back to my natural state. Though it was only $25 every two weeks
WHAT A WASTE! I was not satisfied with the beautician because she couldn’t do
the styles that I wanted and I also told her no grease but she said it would
help grow my hair. Ha!!!!!! On a positive note I did enjoy the shampooing,
conditioning, and scalp massages! She spoiled me with that! Oh the luxuries!
But……I gave it all up. One day I just decided to stop going. I figure I
could do this myself, which I did but it was not as easy as I thought it would
be. I had no idea what my hair type was or neither did I realize how much time
and patience it took. (I shouldve known because my daughter is natural and I had
to grow her hair duh!) The key to transitioning to natural hair is knowing your
hair type….I repeat know your hair type. I wore my hair in ponytails for the
most part and then one day I decided to just wear a fro. I must admit that I was
very self conscious about my hair. I could feel the eyes on me like little laser
beams burning through the center of my fro. I was said to have the wild woman
look. Then I was told by a wise man that not everyone has the same vision of
what beauty is and it did not matter what they thought. Deep down I knew this,
but I guess GOD gave him that message to give to me because I instantly snapped
out of that mindset. From then on I just accepted my hair and all the fabulous
styles that come with my texture. I have tried braid outs, twist outs, fros,
Bantu knots, finger twists and roller sets (to no avail) lol. So far I like the
Bantu knots the most out of all of these hair styles. The reason being is
because for me its easy. I wanted to try the silk wrap but I cannot get pasted
the rollerset part LOL So if you have any suggestions let me know. My hair tends
to become tangled easly but is more tangled on the ends. The roots are very soft
and manageable. I have not photo documented much but I will began to take more
photos. In closing, I am not a professional hair stylist. I am just a
do-it-yourselfer Naturalista on a mission for healthier hair for myself and my
daughter. Until Next time…Mizz Hayes
