The Beauty Myth .

Hey Yall! 

  I know that everyone is use to the normal fashion post from my fellow bloggers and I , but it's time for something new! Recently I've been reading this book called The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf. The beauty myth is an obsession with the physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-conciousness, and even leads to self-hatred as one tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty". This book brings up very controversial topics and aspects that coincides with the beauty myth such as: culture, the workplace, religion, sex hunger and violence. 

    So here is where you all come in, what is your view point on this so called "beauty myth"? Do you still think it's prevalent to us today in society? I really want to hear your voice on this topic so please don't forget to mention me on all social media! I would love to be able to interact with all of you and share my ideas as well! 

  Fierce & Love,

New products (Hair Care)

I recently had the chance to go out and get some new things for my hair and one thing I picked up was this Shea Moisture Hair Masque. It smells wonderful and it truly did add hydration to my hair. The thick consistency was a plus as well! #Recommended 

This Tea Tree oil is great as well. After a wash and condition I mixed this with my hair masque and applied to hair from root to tips. Then, I let my twists set for about 2-3 hours and got a cool twist out. #Recommended

Now this conditioner isn't "new," I've used it once before. However, for the sake of you ladies knowing what I used on this mornings twist out here you go. This is from the Carols Daughter for Kids line and I LOOOOOVE it!!!!! It's THE BEST conditioner I've ever used hands down! Smells great, feels great and leaves my hair super soft and lovely. #HighlyRecommended 

This cream of nature shampoo wasn't my favorite, but it did smell great. And that's a BIG thing that I look for. Like any shampoo it did its job very well. It says it helps detangle... Yeah, no! Not in these curls. It was cheap probably about $4-$5. #Recommended

You're Worthy

So there is this show, "Being Mary Jane" on BET and that Mary Jane Paul is very inspiring. First season of Being Mary Jane I noticed all of the post it notes all around her house with affirmations on them. If you aren't familiar with the show I'll tell you what you need to know: Mary Jane is trying to find herself basically and in doing so she finds her self under different men. This is a way to show insecurity in a woman. Hence why she has affirmations on her walls to remind her she's worthy. 

So, I'm 16 (17 on April 25th whoo whoo) and as any teen girl I'm finding how to love myself. I'm a young lady so I won't be doing like Ms.Mary Jane and crawling under men to find my love, but what I did take from her journey are the post-it note reminders. 

Having to look these reminders in the face everyday I wake up is mentally positioning me to come back from a few recent set backs. In life things happen that damage and bruse us and sometimes they aren't always avoidable. I learned that for me to grow into the princess God has designed me to be I need to think and speak like a princess. 

All of my life I've lived by a lesson my Auntie Sharon taught me long ago after a cousin of mine called me a fatty or something to that nature. She said: "tell him sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you." 

That's the first time I had known of such a thing and this state of mind has pushed me to where I am now. 

If God didn't say it it doesn't matter. Good, bad, cute and ugly. What people on earth has to say about you does not determine your worth. As long as you know you are amazing that's all that matters. You are highly favored no matter how hard you may fall, just know where to turn when you want to get back up. 

       Looooove you always, Jazzmine.
