Stop Wasting Time - Going Natural

I stopped wasting time.....when I went Natural.  When I went Natural...I found more TIME for ME! And TIME is a very precious thing.......

Changes had to come.  I spent every waking moment dealing with my Head.  Gone are the hours (and days) in the salon, the search for my next hairstyle and buying hair and paying someone to attach it! I finally realized that My hair wasnt working for me...I was WORKING for my Hair!

When I stopped the "merry-go-round"....and it wasnt easy...I found more time for others and time to do the things I really wanted to do.  Without that addiction to the creamy crack....I was able to start making saving deposits every 2 weeks instead of giving it to that Stylist who could never get my hair quite right!

Not only did I thank myself...but so did my Honey.  He said that before I went Natural he was in a relationship with Me and My HAIR!!!!!

But before I got to my Grande Finale...my Locs....I did go through a lot of styles AND Money....I'm 5 years Natural and Now I can spray my Locs with an Oil and Water mixture wrap or twist them into a quick 'Do...and head out the Door looking like the QUEEN Im meant to BE! 

Livin' My LIFE Like It's GOLDEN!

Jill Scott couldn't have said it better....

Hey There...I'm Jay...A 50 Sumpthin Sista enroute to QUEENDOM...a never ending journey where the ride is just as fascinating as the destination

I'm Livin' My LIFE like It's GOLDEN....My journey is all the stuff I do to enjoy life and my ride is my BODY so.....I try to keep it up 'cause its gotta last for the distance. QUEENDOM is the fruit I quest.

I'm bloggin about how I do my thang which keeps me focused and on target. I'm way TOO YOUNG and I got a lot more Livin' to do.  Living LIFE and having fun along the way is how I do it....and I wanna do it lookin' and feeling at my highest optimum level.  So here's my roadmap:

• HAIR - I'm a pistol totin NATURAL Sista with Locs.  Going Natural 5 years ago gave me more time to do other things and more discretionary income. See my Natural Hair Journey Blog
• HEALTH - Going Natural opened my Mind to taking better care of me. Im feelin Great and Lookin my Best. Taking vitamins, exercising and drinking more water and eating better has its rewards.
• RELAXATION - I only do what I want to do and I want to do everything. I take 15 minute naps when I feel a need...and rest before I head out for the evening. I want to be wide awake while I'm Livin My Life Like It's Golden!

Some MAJOR things I've learned along the way that helps me stay at my BEST are:

• Vitamins - Alive Multi-vitamins for Women 50+(Energy) and Vitamin D supplements
• Shea Butter Mix - I make myself with Natural Oils. Great for Hair, Face, Hands and Body
• Lemon Sugar Scrub - Natural scrub that exfoliates Face, Hands and Body. I make this. Its easy.
• Tinted Moisturizing Lip Balms - Better than lipsticks which are drying
• Shapewear - I like "Get the Skinny" brand. Great support
• Makeup - I'm a MAC girl...Studio Fix Powder Foundation  (2 in 1)
• Jersey Outfits - They look good, travel well and are quite forgiving
• Water - to drink and spray on my hair

And I'm out the door!
