HOW TO: Trim Your Own Hair! (:

Hello friends (: so today is going to be yet another hair care post and it is going to be about how to trim your hair. Now I have researched it and there is no proof that trimming your hair makes it grow faster however it does improve the overall look and feel of your hair if you trim your dead ends.

I never go to the salon to get my ends trimmed for two reasons. One because the salon does not know the meaning if the word "trim" and they end up taking off way more than I want. Two because I do not like paying for something that I can do on my own for free. 

So I know some people say that you should trim your hair once ever few months but I do not believe that does is a good idea. If you trim your hair faster than it grows then guess what guys....it will not get any longer. So only trim my hair when I feel like it needs it. And that is usually once every six months.

So lets get on with the tutorial (:

So all I do is wash and condition my hair. This is not for any particular reason I just like my hair to be clean and moisturized before I do this (:


Next, while my hair is still damp, I take my hair and I braid it into four braids, two in the front and two in the back.  I do this because I feel that it makes the trimming more accurate.


So I braid my hair down until there is only about an inch or so left then I tie it off with a rubber band.


Then, and this is the hardest part you guys, I just chop of the ends below the band.


And that's it! (:

Have you ever trimmed your hair on your own? How often do you trim your ends? (: Respond down below in the comments!

I know this might seem really simple and i apologize for this post being so short but I do not stress too much about trimming my hair because I take constant care of my hair. I will say that they are important but it is not something you should break your neck for unless you are just beginning to transition back to your natural hair texture, but I'll take more about that in my next post(:

Well guys that is it for this post!

Be safe and I will see you guys in my next post! (:

What's In My Purse! (For School!)

Okay guys so I know it has been a while since I posted I am still trying to get my school and blogging schedule to cooperate with each other (:

But today I am going to be showing you guys what I keep in my purse for school (: 

For those of you who do not want to watch the long video you can just scroll down and I'll have the same information below (:






First of all my very dirty bag says The Platform and I actually won it at BeautyCon (check out my BeautyCon Haul here). It is my favorite bag right now and I take it everywhere! It does not have any pockets so I just toss everything in and pray that nothing gets swallowed or broken.



I always carry my iPod, iPhone 4 and my Chromebook with me. My iPod is not working right now but usually I listen to my music full blast and I mostly use it when I'm driving home by myself. Next is my phone, of course I have all of my social media and blogging apps but I also have all my school related stuff (calendars, to - do lists, assignments etc) thanks to Hannah at cosmeticcrave.com for tutoring me (:  Next is my chromebook which is how I take all of my notes and things like that. I also need to be connected to them internet at all times.


Of course for school I have to have my school books (: Political Science, Interpersonal Communication and History of the African American.


My camera bag which holds my camera of course but also all of my chargers and electronic necessities and my tripod (:


My travel makeup bag which only has my go to makeup (foundation, concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara and lip balm). My fluffy brush that I can't live without. A random eye shadow palette that I didn't even know I had. My keys that are very dirty and my wallet that has all my cards and IDs.



Last but not least my miscellaneous items that usually fall to the bottom o f my purse. My laptop charger, Midol and other feminine products. Bobby pins of course and pens that I love. And the clicker that I use to get into my apartment.

Well guys that is all that is in my purse (: I have a lot more reviews coming up soon so stay tuned!

Be safe and I'll see in my next post!

Lets be friends!!
