What I've Learned From My Past Shopping Experiences

3:19 PM

Greetings. My Little Astrological Creatures!

I've wasted a lot of money on clothes that weren't made for me. Let's dedicate this to my poor judgment and laziness when it comes to shopping. I realized that I wanted to start shopping with a squeaky clean mind. Today, I'll talk about the lessons that I've learned using my experiences from the past. Let's get started shall we?

1) Focus

I wasn't able to fully focus on shopping because there always was a distraction. Every time I was at the mall, I always had to something to do. This limited my time when it comes to shopping and I'll end up feeling rushed. Let me tell you that this will show up in the clothes that I've pick.

Tips and Lessons

1) Go on a day where you have nothing or little to do.

2) Take your time to find what you want.

3) Eliminate as many distractions as possibles.

2) Try On ALMOST Everything

I know that I'm not the only one who came home with a piece of clothing that you thought would fit well. News flash: It didn't fit as well as you thought it would. This was a big issue for me when it comes to jeans and some tops. For me, jeans fit odd so I'm going to have to try on every single pair that I lay my eyes on (except for Forever21 and H&M).

Tips and Lessons

1) If you can't try a shirt on, then make sure it's stretchable. The stretch can save your life and mine.

3) Just Ask

I would never ask the employees for anything. I wasn't into talking to strangers and my voice would come out in a whisper if I try to ask. Now, I feel like I can ask them anything because I know that it's better to speak up. This way, I would know what's available or on sale.

4) It's Okay To Leave Empty Handed

My sister would always buy more stuff than me and I never found anything I want. Even through we went to almost every store in the mall that day. This prompt me to buy anything to make myself feel better. A) This is one way to waste of money and B) The item wouldn't end up looking good on me.

Tips and Lessons

1) Don't compare your purchases with others.

2) Don't waste money on just anything.

5) Ask Yourself If It's Worth It

Clothing prices are rising now-a-days so it's best to ask yourself some questions. Is this item worthy of my money? Do I really like it? Does this item has the potential of becoming my go to? Is this my ride or die item for the next few years of my life? These questions helped me so I hope that it'll help you too.

Tips and Lessons

1) Best time to question an item is when you're trying it on.

2) Question the pricing and the quality as well.

Chapter #1: Let's Start At The Root

2:13 PM

Greetings, My Little Astrological Creatures!

The first step into reviving my body to it's comfortable state is by splitting my body up into common sections. Today, we'll be tackling the strains on top of our head. Yup, it's our hair! To me, hair is an accessory you can adjust to fit a certain outfit, your taste, or a new identify that you adapted. This is why I think it was important to talk about hair on here because hair is fashion. You have to take care of your hair just like you take good care of your belongs. It's a no brainier but it's a different story for me.

Background Info On Me (The Real-Real)

There are different textures of hair. Some people have naturally straight hair. Some have naturally curly hair. Some have naturally wavy hair. Some have naturally kinky hair. (Duh, that's a no brainier!) For me, I have kinky hair and it can be a pain in the ass. Also, I am tender headed to a T and I don't know how to really handle my own hair. This caused me to neglect my hair and let my mom handle it.

The wake up call that I've received while I wasn't blogging made me realize that I can't just let my hair shrivel up. How am I suppose to make myself feel comfortable in my clothing and in my skin if I left one step out of the equation? This thinking was fueled by the pro-black energy all around me and the people who were preaching the saying of "Loving Thyself". I wouldn't know how to love my hair without getting to know it first. That's why I decide to care for my own hair by feeding it the nutrients it deserves. The End (for now).

Now, I wanted to talk/tell about the research that I've done.Below are some helpful and healthy information involving hair. My hair is always dry so I focused on moisturizing. Disclaimer: This is from a kinky hair girl's point of hair view.

Important Oils

Oils are good for all hair types. The thing about my hair type is that it likes oils but drinks them up quickly. It's still an hair essential so don't look down on it. Here are a few oils to get to know.

1) Almond Oil

2) Castor Oil

3) Coconut Oil

4) Jojoba Oil ( it's like our natural body oil which is sebum)

- I focused mostly on jojoba oil because it was like sebum. I know that it's not heavy on the hair and helps with dandruff. Unrefined jojoba oil is what you should be looking for because it hasn't been played around with.

5) Tea Tree Oil and many more!

Other Great Moisturizing/Hair Tools

1) Detangling tool

2) Aloe Vera Juice

3) Water

4) Shea Butter
