My people, this is the beauty of Africa!
These natural braids literally costed me $1.46 in Guinea, and that’s on a local hair salon standard. I randomly went to it, but hey, what if I become a regular customer with a discount? 😂

AVOCADO VIRGIN OIL
You’ll need:
– Ripe avocados
– A large plate
– A light and transparent scarf
– A clean glass to collect the oil
Steps:
– Get a few ripe avocados (the more they are ripe, the more oil they will yield).
– Cut the avocados and remove the flesh to make a paste and lightly spread on a clean plate.
– Put the plate in the sun and keep an eye on it. When the surface changes color, mix it up and spread again (see photo). Continue until the avocado is completely dry and blackish. Be careful not to overdry it.
– Put a manageable amount of the avocado in the scarf and press until satisfactory extraction of the oil. Repeat the process with the remaining portion.
Bon appetit to your hair! 🤗

Recette d’huile vierge d’avocat
Il vous faudra:
– Des avocats murs
– Un plateau
– Un foulard leger et transparent
– Un verre propre pour recueillir l’huile
Etapes:
– Prenez quelques avocats murs (plus ils sont murs, plus ils produiront de l’huile).
– Decoupez les avocats et prélevez la pulpe pour en faire une pâte et étalez en film leger dans un plateau propre
– Deposez le plateau contenant l’avocat au soleil et surveillez de temps en temps. Quand la surface change de couleur, remuez et reétalez (voir images). Continuez jusqu’à ce que l’avocat devienne complètement sec et noirâtre. Attention à ne pas trop secher.
– Mettez une quantité gérable de l’avocat dans le foulard et pressez jusqu’à extraction satisfaisante de l’huile. Répetez avec la portion restante.
Bon appétit à vos cheveux! 🤗
BONJOUR WORLD!

Lord of ego, lord of pride
Long awaited with a bride
While the throne redressed for his kingdom
He stood behind walls of home sweet home
The cheering crowd nourrishing his faux pas
Teasing his ego beyond his fabricated stamina
Flirting away his faults, raising him to perfection
Above mountains of beautiful deceptions
Lifting him to the illusion of eternal breath
Hailed him, as he danced his way to death.

Hello helloooooo
It’s been so long and I even forgot how to post here lol. I’ve been very busy (still am) but wanted to just share a few photos and wish everyone a very happy new year! Better late than never.
I’ll come back soon with poetry and my hair update.
Much love 😘

~The story~
From two worlds of opposite poles
Were destined to each other two souls
Awakened by some matching strike of energy
Our journey began as written over a century
~~
We were to survive the following tasks
In a world full of people wearing masks
Enduring the threats of hostile eyes
And traversing storms large as the sky
Mapping through unfriendly crowds with a burden
Of moments as if the last breath was already taken.
We wept, we screamed, as bits of faith departed
Our hearts weakened, yet gracefully enchanted
Were kept alive by the signals of a distant flame
The love that knew to defy time with no shame
Destiny remained unchanged
For we were long promised
~~
After the vicious journey
Fate was reached in clarity
Your familiar face rushed in and out of my dream
As reality revealed you at the echo of my final scream
The force that pierced our bodies
Universally projected our images
Two silhouettes prepared for unity
Merged, creating the perfect love for eternity

Purity was reached when we had every chance to play in the mud like many others, but chose to wait on the pearly gates to bless us with the puddle of matrimony. Our eternal union mounting to flood the future days, ushered to a waterfall, leaving all to admire the plan of God.

I find this sketch mighty hilarious, so I am sharing it with you. Once a while, I post just about anything that lifts my spirit. I have read a lot of negative comments regarding the script as many said that we (Christians) shouldn’t make our prophet’s story into a joke. Nonetheless, I appreciate the message circulated through this video and I learned a valuable lesson. I hope it tickles your sense of humor as much as it did to mine. Laugh, live, love, & laugh some more…and be careful what you wish for! God bless ❤
