Embrace the shrinkage....this is a awesome way to try out a tapercut without a protective style or the commitment of an actual cut...

While planting seeds..... So about 2 and a half weeks ago my daughter wanted to plant some flowers. Clearly it is the beginning of january and this is simply not the season to plant flowers, but hey she was very persistant and non waivering on her desire to plant some damn sunflowers in the middle of winter. Well....here are the results, on the left is Lotus flower and on the right is my flower .....sad right. Im like damn we used the same soil the same pots the same kind of water and the SAME kind of seed. There was only one thing diffrent. LOTUS BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE AND I DIDNT. So her flower was fertilized with faith and intention....I on the other hand was simple going through the motions. What a beautiful lesson that Ive learned. Although I had no flowers.... this brought me alot of joy.

The loc detox Method....the cleanse

The loc detox is a method which cleanse dirt and debris that has build up in the locs over a period of time. This include apple cider vinegar, baking soda and a special mix of essential oils. This detox should be done every 6 to 8 months. On a spiritual note its good to detox and let go of dead weight and the smell of lastnights dinner. Lol just kinding but seriously . Click the link below to see what thia process looks like.

Like the Lotus, God speed.....

I became a mother at the fragile age of 21. I say fragile because Lord knows that at 21 I had no clue on how to take care of myself let alone another human. I remember calling my mother after I took the test and crying saying "Mom, someone is gonna be like mom Im hungry and Im gonna be like Meeee toooo". I didnt think I was ready but I felt that if God said I was, he would provide. Lotus Belle was born sep 21,2012; the spitting image of me. I named her Lotus because a Lotus is a flower which emerges from merky waters and blooms untainted and pure. The name means spiritual and mental purity and Belle because she would be, and is just that. A leader who stands out and is loved just for being herself. LOTUS BELLE. I couldnt believe that after that loooong summer pregnancy of swollen feet weird cravings and 75 extra pounds,the real journey had began and I couldnt put her back in my tummy and take a break. Maaaaaan look some people talk about the googly googly and yes I had plenty of those moments but I was fat lonely and a single parent living in my parents house at 21. I always joke that Lotus is so mature because I had real live conversations with her about life as a small baby. She was not only my baby but my bestfriend. I could feel her love and that kept me sane. Meanwhile my peers are graduating college and starting their lives as independent adults. I felt like my life was on hold. I was depressed. My mother instincts naturally jump into play reminding me that my life was no longer about me and I needed to get myself together not only for me but for my babygirl. Six weeks had past very quickly and I guess thats the time that the United states of these Americas think that we should be settled in as new parents and ready to get back in the work force. Well look here I wasnt ready and childcare wasnt no ho. Forreal forreal. $250 a week....$250 a week!!! Needless to say chilcare lasted 2 weeks, with my pay grade at Supercuts I was still in the hole.So I stopped working to take care of my baby full time.

I cried out to God "please Lord guide me. You promised me that you would never leave nor forsake me. You entrusted me with a child and I thank you but I dont know what to do". I looked at the clock and it read 3:33.... for those who are into numerology 3:33 is a message from the angels ensuring the God is with you and that he hears your prayers. I was comforted. I was able to scramble up enough money to buy a one way plane ticket to Niagara falls to live with my mom. I needed my mommy. I stayed there for 8months working at odd jobs like dennys, hotels and 7/11 convenience stores to provide for my lil one and I. While doing those jobs I really recognized how much I love the beauty industry. I couldnt wait to get back to work doing what I loved to do. Sep 20, 2013 I moved back to Atlanta. My retreat was over. Back at ground zero ....i had $250 to my name ,my baby and lots of ambition with no babysitter. I was yet again Depressed and broke. I cried out to God " Lord guide my steps. I have nothing but a gift from you and YOU thats it. I dont know what to do." It was one of those crys when you cant breath because snot done gatherd blocking the passage way and now ya head hurt. Lol I balled. Its kind of embarrassing once I think about how I looked at the time cause I know my hair wasnt done just wild. I looked at the clock and it read 2:22.

222 is a message from God that your prayers have been answerd. I felt comfort bt honestly I didnt see how they were answered because I was in the same boat to be real.

The next after noon I was online and so happend to come across a add that read organic wholesale products from Ghana. Then I heard BelleAmore Organic Beauty. At the bottom of the screen the time read 2:22 pm. I will never forget the feeling that I had. I never felt such excitement. I wanted to create natural products. I never done it before and I didnt know where to start but I knew that being that it was from God that it would work itself out like it always has.

It ALWAYS has.

To keep the name alive I provided hair services under the name BelleAmore Organic Beauty. I VOWED to trust God every step of the way, to be myself, show real love and to allow him to fight my battles but most of all trust in his perfect timing. GOD SPEED. Things may not always happend when we want or in the order that we think is best. Our plans may somtimes be delayed by our own mistakes or even things that are out of our own control. We may get weiry and stuck or tired. Hell we may get scared or let our own minds control our present in a negative way. We may feel like we dont deserve what our hearts desire or may not have the proper resources BUT please ,please trust and believe that "WE know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called to his purpose." Romans 8:28. NO matter what it is it will be used to Glorify the most high. This is not to be religious or come off as if I have it all together because Lawd know he aint through with me yet lol. This is to encourage everyone that relationship with God, I AM, that still small voice within us is the comforter. The guide, the strength. We all face things on diffrent levels at diffrent times but one thing that remains the same is the availability of that connection. Plug in and have faith and know that like a Lotus you too can bloom out of murky waters pure and untainted and everything has its perfect timing GOD SPEED.

Blissful Hair and Body Cosmetics by BELLEAMORE ORGANIC BEAUTY will be available for purchase Febuary 2018.

The world is so cold, Without you I'm exposed. Like unwrapped with no hat In the winters cold.
