Surprises' World

All-natural everything, huh? So when I plaited my braids my scalp was a little bit itchy, and I don't know why. Since products are pricey I decided to go back to what I had learned during the lockdown. Rosemary is quite affordable around where I stay, so that is what I went with. And it's fresh too. I wish I took pictures of the whole process, next time I will. But thank goodness it's not that complex nor with a lot of steps. So I guess this short article will do just fine.   Benefits of rosemary for your hair (from my experience). 1. Relieves irritated scalp. I have sprayed the rosemary water on my scalp for close to a week and a half now, everyday and it is no longer itchy. Rosemary water is refreshing to your scalp and hair, as much as it is aromatic thus good for aromatherapy- which is a plus. Aaaand, you can also use it to soothe dry, flaky scalp and dandruff . 2.

February... uweeeeeh. Hata sio February tu, I guess ni 2022. You know that time you are chilling on your phone ukiview status, internet inabuffer so it's just pass, pass, be patient a little, pass.

And you want to find out what it is they do that you do not. It becomes a whole lingering, in most cases overbearing, feeling that just eats you from the inside. Unfortunately, we more often than not let it take over us. I vowed to be very intentional this year. Have I been handed a ru...

"I'm working on consistency." I have really been trying. You know those instances when a bulb lights up in your head and your like I should try to note this down. So I rush to my phone and type a draft, hoping to get back to it as soon as possible. Ooooooops, three weeks later I get back to it and I'm not feeling as I was in that light bulb moment, so I end up deciding to put it off.  Today, I was on a mission to overthink some more about my life🙃. I was questioning my intention for this blog. And I ended up filling my head with so much doubt. I was wondering how come I only want to write about the things I write about (I honestly could not find a word to best describe the things I write). I was so close to reverting the recipes that I have already posted🤦🏿‍♀️ and also changing the introduction to the blog, but then I got a bit of clarity before I could go through with it.  For some reason, I thought that I would end up being monotonous, and I do NOT want this expe...
