"The eye of the Beholder"

 Good day all,
 Check out this twilight zone film about beauty and how society and people in power, control things like how the majority of humans view themselves. I find it extremely similar to the world we in today.

How to fight against this: Read the scriptures in the bible and understand how God sees you, then Fight It by seeing yourself the way the God that created everything about your image sees you.











Have a blessed day. Chizzy :D

Sometimes you just need a break! ALSO Please suggest new music to me!

 Good day all, 
The title of this post pretty much sums up how i have been feeling about the internet lately. Yesterday, here in the good ol' United States, my neighborhood lost electricity for a couple of hours(thank you NEPA). I have no idea why, all i know is that i felt free. SERIOUSLY and i even wanted it to last longer. My macbook has been connected to me as though it's my child for like two years now. Granted i do take breaks from it once in awhile. Although technology is awesome, and i'm not going to list of all the ways here because everyone knows them, it kinda detaches you from "LIVING,"which is what i'm really focused on doing these days.


Anyways, i wrote this post especially to the people that follow my blog. I may or may post on a daily or weekly bases, i may or may not comment or see your lately post, but whenever i'm on here i will do my best to connect with my blogger fam.

 Question: I really want to be introduced to new music.  Can you suggest any artist or bands/qroups for me to check out.

Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

Requested: Natural hair 101 (helpful links included)

 Good day all, 

So i have been asked repeatedly to fully showcase natural hair. I am going to do more than that. I will turn this post into a featured page because it is going to be information packed. 

 What is Natural hair?

Natural hair refers to the original hair/ hair texture you were born with...i.e..your natural hair texture. Because we are uniquely created, everyone's hair texture(although it might not appear to be ) is different. In my family,  none of us have the same natural hair texture. What works for one person's hair may not work for you(even though it appears that you may have similar hair textures), this goes for hairstyles, products, hair practices, etc.
 

 Two major divisions of Natural hair

  

Loose natural hair

Hair texture for loose natural hair depends on your coil/curl pattern or lack of coil/curl or both(having different patterns in different sections of your hair.)


Rocking a bald or low cut hairstyle also falls under the loose natural hair division. 

People with relaxed hair go natural by either chopping off all their hair(which is what i did), slowing cutting off their relaxed ends while their natural roots grow in, or wearing extensions for 6months to 1 year allow time for new growth then chopping off the relaxed parts.

Locs (I don't call it the other thing because my hair is not "dread"ful.)

Locs are very complex. 
There 3 are major types of loced hair divisions. 
1. Sisterlocs: Very tiny loc strands, from far away look almost like relaxed hair. 
2. Normal locs: this mean that it is not the size of sisterlocs and is periodically re-twisted. Usually medium to thick locs.
3. Freeform/semi-freeform:When locs are allowed to do their own thing. Rarely to never re-twisting. 

Like i said early, locs are very complex and there are no set rules on how to rock it or take care of it, so it allows you to be sooo creative or NOT at all.

Question!

 Why are you a Christian?

 Are you are Christian so that Christ would be glorified through you or are you a Christian so that you would be glorified through Christ?

Have a blessed day. Chizzy :D
