My cell phone is with me everywhere I go. I take it with me to work, when I go on vacation, go shopping, workout and even when I just walk across my front yard to the mailbox. I wouldn’t go so far as to say my cell phone is like another appendage, but it is constantly with me.
The crazy thing is, my cell phone gets to go to a lot of places, some of them really cool places, but it doesn’t have to pick up any of the travel costs. LOL.
Mistakes are a part of life.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve found that I learn most from making mistakes instead of avoiding them.
And I’ve made some mistakes during my healthy relaxed hair journey and even before I officially started. I’ve done things like using a clarifying shampoo every week, never deep conditioning, and flat ironing my hair every day (yes every day).
From those mistakes, I’ve learned and formed some good relaxed hair care habits.
Looking in the mirror one day I noticed that my teeth were starting to look a little yellow. As a general rule, I have pretty white bright-looking teeth but every now and again that whiteness and brightness can fade. When my smile is at its brightest I feel more confident smiling in pictures.
Confidence is one of the key reasons people whiten their teeth.
If you want to whiten your teeth you can go to the dentist and pay a lot of money for them to do it and that may make sense in some cases. For most of us though using some at-home whitening kits will work.

creating sinking funds.

Let’s talk about one of the great hair debates in the textured hair community, which is applicable to both natural and relaxed hair.
That debate is whether or not you should oil your scalp.
Now it’s not a really hot debate but it’s one that keeps popping up in my social feeds and hair groups so I decided I should dig into it.
Now full disclosure, I sometimes oil my scalp. I don’t do it on a daily basis or even consistently on a weekly basis. I do it when I feel like it could be beneficial. But is it really?
As a creator of beauty content, I’m always looking for ways to monetize my content. Make it work for me.
There are a few different ways you can monetize your content
Personally, I’ve found that using affiliate links is one of the most seamless ways to monetize my beauty content. I’ve tried several, and currently use, different affiliate platforms and programs. One of the ones that have been the easiest for me to use and has brought in the most income is called the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, also known as the LTK app.
I don’t like to spend a lot of time on social media. In fact, I tend to be one of the last people to sign up for the newest social media site if I ever do. I resisted Instagram until a year or so ago and I want nothing to do with Snapchat.
Part of my aversion to social media is laziness. I don’t want to spend time learning something that has little practical use. The other part, the largest part, is I don’t have the time to stay actively engaged on social media. I have a full-time job, hobbies, and other activities I like to do. All of which doesn't leave me with a lot of time for social media.
Deep conditioning is a helpful step in a relaxed hair wash day.
It helps to restore lost moisture in the hair by deeply penetrating the hair shaft.
It can add strength to the hair if it contains protein ingredients.
It also helps add more shine to the hair.
If you’re not deep conditioning currently you, and especially your hair, are missing out.
If you’re now convinced to start deep conditioning or have been for a while and are looking for a good deep conditioner to use on your relaxed hair I’ve got some help for you in this post. I’m going to share 10 top deep conditioners that are good for relaxed hair.
