Tips for your new journey as a Freshman

Most teenagers leave high school with a sense of complete relief and excitement. I left high school as a sour plum because I didn't want to leave my friends. Really Yulli? Yes I said it. Almost three years out of high school and I still miss it. Whenever I see a student in my old school uniform, I go off remembering my days in that blue and white uniform. Dwelling in the past much. I'm amazed that I can say I'm a university student because it's been hard for my single parent. God is good and greatly to be praised. A year has finished so quickly as such I'd like to share what I've learnt with you and suggestions from a few friends and family.

Selflessly: Destruction

As a child I struggled the most when it came onto accepting myself and also being myself. I always wanted to be like this person or that person, but never truly, me. I never thought I was pretty enough or cool enough to accomplish certain tasks and as such I never even tried. In my previous years I used to say, 'I'm an ugly duckling that turned into a swan.' Bwoy! When I sit and remember all the foolishness I had taught and convinced myself as a teen I cringe.

Selflessly: Entry 2

Selflessly

I wonder what it is about June that has bloggers breaking skeletons and getting all serious. +Shanique Roca got me all serious with her back to back selfless entries. Has the evening started to die down I contemplated; after my Hol Mi Close entry and Self Destruction what do I come with after all this. I tried to write an informative article but thought realistically and figured I wouldn't have completed it in time to post today. Yesterday morning when I went to bed I couldn't resist thinking about my self destruction post. I was man enough to share my entry on instagram and twitter but then reality farted in my face and I started to question the consequences of my revelation. After my devotion yesterday morning I saw that I had received very good feedback from the post. wipes sweat from forehead* But I've also realized that possibly I hadn't totally kissed the sorrows of my past goodbye. I randomly decided to read Philippians 3 before going to bed yesterday morning and verse 13 caught my eye.

Original Piece: Before I Self Destruct

Before I self destruct, I must thank you for the virtue of 

which you fondled with.

Your incompetence of being an old man got the best of you and here you are trying;

a child's virtue

How proud you must feel of this victory tremendous

Not yet a woman but you boast of your flirtation with her clitoris

Embraced her with hands afflicted with darkness and dirtiness.

But, before I self destruct here's her mistrust

Gained access into her life, cloaked her like a butterfly, sang her a lullaby and rockabye has your hands accidently said hello, to her innocent virtue.

Engaged ignition, engrossed in confusion as she set her time for a mentally malfunctioned distribution.

Introduction to a Unbefriended Self

Moisturizing and Sealing

Natural hair, texlaxed hair, relaxed, zyabp hair, we all experience a bit of dryness time after time. Dry, dehydrated hair will result in breakage and so it is necessary to incorporate and have a balance of moisture. Whenever we moisturize this increases the hair's elasticity and decreases the level of breakage experienced. Today, there are many different moisturizing and sealing techniques. There's the LCO method and LOC method. Which means Liquid, Cream, Oil and Liquid, Oil, Cream respectively.

When I first started my hair journey I used Wave Nouveau has I was following Sunshyne's regimen. I didn't like it and gave it away. Then, I used the Olive Oil Moisturizer by ORS and my hair didn't respond well to it either. I was unable to go about buying other moisturizers for trial and error and so I just used water and a oil. That oil for me is coconut oil. The water is my moisturizer and then the oil seals in the moisture. I soon started to use shea butter. Technically I do the LOC method but I refer to call it LOB :). Since the shea butter isn't really a cream shrug*
Since I've been transitioning I don't moisturize and seal everyday. I'd estimate once per week. Previous posts will illustrate that I was experimenting with the Cantu Shea Butter Leave In but I am still not 100% sure of my thoughts.

Mist with Water + add Oil+ add Butter= HAppy Transitioning Hair for Blue
Have any other thoughts on M&S? Leave the comment below.

P.S. One of the reasons why I continued transitioning was because I have alopecia monolocularis. CAn you see it in the picture above.
Thanks for passing by

Hol Mi Close

In my previous Hol Mi Close entry I told you guys that I passed six of eight subjects which I did in high school. But I realized that I never highlighted which subjects I failed. (sigh no guts, no glory) I failed Mathematics and Geography.
