Henna - Natural Hair Coloring

Ok so on this past Wednesday I took a big leap of faith and dyed my hair with Henna. I wanted a reddish tint instead of the orangey color i have been wear foe close to a year.

After many hours, websites, and YouTube videos of research I just went for it.

I used the following ingredients:
-100mg of Henna
-juice of 1 lemon
-3 drops of peppermint oil
-about 2 cups of green tea

Mix all the ingredients up in a wooden bowl with a plastic spatula and made basically a mess of mud.

I let the mud sit on my hair for about 3 1/2 hours, then conditioned it out (note i said condition not shampoo).

The picture shows the before on the left and results on the right.

I am highly satisfied with my color. It cost me less than $5 to achieve. I will definitely be doing this again in a couple of months.

Alright I believe that is quite and arsenal of support. Can't wait to see the results on May 1st

I Am Back

Real talk it has been quite a while since I have posted. However, I am back and more determined than ever to get this healthy living journey revved back up.


I have a new look on life, a new attitude, a new support group. This time I'm kicking butt and taking names.

Please join on my journey. In the words of Justin Timberlake, " I'm bringing sexy back, yeah"

Education Is the KEY

As I continue to look back on my life; I see the journey that I have taken. It hasn't been easy but it has been a very fulfilling adventure


I'm excited about getting more education in the computer technology field.

You are never too old to dream and never too old to make those dreams come true.

Peace and blessings

taking a time out to think

The other day I tried to empty my mind and relax. I found it very hard and disturbing that I couldn't relax. I couldn't clear my thoughts I couldn't focus on being at peace.

So I decided to play some soothing sounds of nature. I listened to the sound of a thunderstorm via an android application. I begin to think about raindrops on my skin and sitting out in the rain watching the natural fireworks.

I figured out to put my mind at ease and give it a break. It was a wonderful experience one that I will continue to do. Quite refreshing to just relax and not worry about the troubles of the day for just a few minutes.

Get your mind relaxation on

Peace love and healing of the mind body and soul

Holiday Eating

It is definitely that time of year where eating is a the best hobby around.  Thanksgiving has passed and we are still trying to work off that turkey.  Let us redeem ourselves and not repeat Thanksgiving but become portion conscious for the rest of the holiday.

We can still enjoy our favorite foods but not in "Super-sized" portions.

Peace and Love,
