Does your twist-out look crazy? Oh how we love the beautiful look, Bantu Knots that are freshly unraveled bring or even when they are days old. But what about when your Bantu looks WEEKS old after only a few minutes of being taken out. Most likely you are doing something’s wrong, so let me help you out. Your twists could simply be too tight. If the twists are too tight they will buckle, too lose they will not look neat and unraveled, try to find that happy medium. If you think your twists will come undone at night, secure them with clips, bobby pins, or even rubber bands. You may not be using the right products. If your hair is kinky, use a thick butter like shea...

Seasonal Nail Lacquer (Colors)

It’s Time to trade those bright-summer shades in for some fall shades. Much like the fashion industry the color palette changes with the seasons. Spring and summer shades are bright, whereas autumn and winter shades are a little on the dark side. Ideas for colors for autumn would be: deep shades of Reds, Blues, Purples, Browns, Greens, and last but, not least my favorite Nudes. Depending on your preference, dark shades of orange and yellow fit well in the autumn color shades. Lastly, I cannot forget about the basic black and white they go well with any season and are bold, but yet so simple to the naked eye. I’m not saying that you cannot wear other color polishes from other seasons during the fall, but if...

CALM YOUR NERVES BY BREATHING

Breathing is by far the most effective way to reduce anxiety and relax your self. When we become anxious or nervous or entirely too stressed out (all the time right?) we naturally begin a domino effect in our systems; our throats close, pinching off our airways and we breath in tiny, shallow, ineffective breathes. This altered type of breathing contributes to a higher heart rate and high blood pressure. Not having enough oxygen to your tissues can increase the amount of work your organs do. Your organs then release toxins into your system from working so hard. These toxins can, in turn, increase the level of anxiety you're already having AND can age you prematurely over time. See the vicious cycle here? By increasing how deep and...

Cassandre Brissot: I'm a flight attendant and as glamorous as that may sound it’s increasing difficult to take care of yourself as well as you would if you were home. For example, eating has become a daunting task especially if you want to be nutritionally conscious; FORGET ABOUT EATING 3 MEALS A DAY! Nutri-grain bars and peanuts have become my best friends in life. Also the air in the aircraft is very drying. not only to your skin, but your lungs as well. We are cautioned to drink at least a liter of water a day, however I aim for 2. I used to be a beast in the gym, but with early show times and late releases, I'm always too tired to work out. Thank...

I think we all have some insecurities but I’m happy to say I’m past that in my life. I've changed so much in 6 years. I know who I am striving to be, and I like myself.
