For a while I realised that I have been stuck in the same mentality, a corner flooded with comfort and static. Though yes, sometimes that may be okay  at some point you need to realise the importance of positive movement; movement which may not always be a game changer but in the end that movement can change the game.
I had stopped moving and doing for a long time, I had stopped myself from growing.

 How do you grow when the comfort is so compelling?
 You acknowledge it and then you talk to someone about it. Me, I talked/talk about it to the one person in my life that understands the importance of doing, my boyfriend. As hardcore as he can be about the topic of my laziness and discomfort for things I should do, I need it. I need it so much.
At first it all sounded impossible, too uncomfortable, but as a professional planner, lol, I wrote it all down and I planned (much of it undone but I'll get there). The others, I dived right into with his words replaying over and over in my mind, landing me some opportunities I never before would have gotten. And as I saw that change in my position and felt that drive to seize chance, I slowly started to move (I still am actually). 
Rome wasn't built in a day beauties. 
  
Now this is my first actual swimsuit shoot, never saw myself doing this but I am always striving to get out of my comfort zone so I tend to test the discomfort by meticulously doing.
I am an impulsive planner, if you can help me understand that would be great!
Thanks to the very talented Tremayne of Gap Year Images because not only did I feel sexy but he made me look it too, aha!

 Hey loves!
So before I actually began to care about what I put in my hair, I would use anything and I mean anything. But now well I have come to the point where even though I may or may not keep my hair short, I want it to be as healthy as dyed hair could possibly be.

Seeing that I have started investing in products that actually work, lol, it had to have been fate that an online hair store would contact me and let me know that they would now be shipping to the Caribbean, yay!

Okay so yes we have a gazillion hair stores down here and they do have some good stuff, but I have honestly never found 'the product' that doesn't work me too hard! 

If any of my local people know any let me know, feel more than free to comment below (I've got a 4B/4C texture).

Here is what makes https://myloux.com/ special - ordering/shipping process is supposed to be easy and well they definitely make sure that theirs is, I didn't even need to track the products; you can literally shop for products, via brand, need and hair type; they also carry various product lines, so if you think you can't find something, I am sure you can get it from them, plus they don't only cater to natural hair (other hair types need love too).

 I ordered the Shea Moisture, Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow and Restore Masque and the Gorow and Restore Leaving Conditioner from the same JBCO line because my hair is dyed and holds little moisture.

The products came within 2 weeks of ordering in the box above. 

Of course I smelled it! It smells like coconut milk creme. 
Now note I have never used Shea Moisture's products before, but I had a lot of expectations cause I know a lot of people who love their products, some with my hair type too!

The leave in, which is supposed to soften, detangle, moisturise and nourish did just that but within a few hours, my hair went back to it's dry state. Definitely not suited for me.

This deep conditioning masque which restores strength and resilience to damaged, brittle hair or chemically processed hair, however left my hair feeling super soft, moisturised and strong (my hair is so brittle so achieving this was great), hopefully it grows it as well. Anyone with dry, brittle hair definitely needs to buy this product from loux.

The one thing I was extremely glad about, was my vibrant colour remaining...I always tend to lose the colour of my hair in a span of 2 washes so this was a relief.

Let me know what you guys think of myloux!
