make it happen

this blog is about my personal journey of self improvement in ways that are both mental and physical. i've learned that you can't just wait for things to happen or complain about what hasn't happened you have to go out and put in the effort to make it happen

Srinkage for day 18 and Braids for day 26 of #nappynovember I hate how everytime I wear braids after washing my hair it shrinks up and looks short and I'm also not a big fan of manipulative styling but braids are one of the least manipulative protective styles and once I unbraid them I end up with a tamed braidout for the next days style #hair #hairstyle #instahair #hairstyles #haircolour #haircolor #hairdye #hairdo #haircut #longhairdontcare #braid #fashion #instafashion #straighthair #longhair #style #straight #curly #black #brown #brunette #hairoftheday #hairideas #braidideas #perfectcurls #hairfashion #hairofinstagram #coolhair

Attempted to beat my goal of 2miles in 15 mins after failing miserably and quitting I got right back on that machine and killed it Even though I'm pretty sure my legs are gonna fall off I'm glad I didn't just give up #instafit #fitness

For day 15 and 16 my curl pattern. I put together a video showing my natural hair state when wet, dry, and with product. even though I often wear my hair in braidouts my natural hair texture is between type 3c and type 4c the ends are pretty thin and loose but the top is very thick and coily

Welp for day 13 of #nappynovember I was gonna post a picture of me and another natural but then I realized I don't know any. Kinda made me sad for a little while but then I worked my butt off at the gym and now I'm too sore to be upset lol. Did you guys catch my last video on how I got my skin clear in a week if not go check it out at naturally_improving_me #nomorefilterstohideacne #nofilter #instahair #instaselfie #selfie

Ran 2 miles in under 30 mins for the first time today Even though my body is sore I know I'm improving and will continue to work harder and run faster until my goals are met and surpassed #health #fitness #fit #workout #bodybuilding #cardio #gym #train #training #photooftheday #instahealth #active #strong #motivation #instagood #determination #lifestyle #getfit #eatclean #exercise

Welp even though I failed at my attempt to run 2 miles in 15 mins I still ran 2 miles so now I just need to work on endurance and keeping my speed up. Im hoping by the end of the year i'll reach my goal #health #fitness #fit #fitspo #workout #bodybuilding #cardio #gym #train #training #photooftheday #health #healthy #instahealth #healthychoices #active #strong #motivation #instagood #determination #lifestyle #getfit #eatclean #exercise

Shea moisture's #curlenhancingsmoothie For day 12 of #nappynovember #nappynovemberphotochallenge if you've been in the natural hair community for any time at all you've probably seen this product a thousand times and for good reason I love using this stuff on my wash and go's and on old hair to give it some moisture i also use it as a leave in deep conditioner when my hair needs some love

My favorite hair color for day 10

[naturallyimprovingme]

My favorite protective style and my favorite hair accessory all in one picture for day 8 and 9 of #nappynovember #nappynovemberphotochallenge I love loose braids and how they protect my hair I just hate how messy my hair gets after a few days so I always cover them up with my favorite pink beenie hat #naturalhair #naturallyimprovingme #braid #fashion #instafashion #longhair #style #curly #black #brown #brunette #hairoftheday #hairideas #hairfashion

These 2 products perfectly describe my wash day routine #nappynovember #nappynovemberphotochallenge 1.gently finger detangle my hair 2. Saturate my dry detangled in canola oil (which I use as EVERYTHING, a substitute for lotion, hot oil treatments, sealant for my hair...etc) canola is my favorite oil because its inexpensive and really high in vitamin E and K which is awesome for helping damaged hair 3. Let it sit on my hair for a few minutes either in a bun or under a shower cap. 4.rinse the oil out with luke warm water 5. Massage my scalp with the sauve naturals (which in my opinion is the best consistency for getting my scalp clean and moisturizing it at the same time) 6.rinse almost all of it out with cold water 7. Style it (the products I use vary based on what style I want) and that's it :)
