Lifestyle Tips : Things I Do To Keep My Self Mentally And Spiritually Balanced During These Dark Times.

Meditation
I know a lot of people enjoy Meditation, but after doing further research I realized that some people don't enjoy it, Some feel it's too long a process, and some actually find it boring.
Here is what I think- At first when I started meditating I hated it. It took so long to finish, listening to the Guided Meditation got so boring I Stopped and tried other things. I then returned to the basic things I do like, Playing with my Crystals, Burning sage to get rid of negative energy around my surroundings and myself, I enjoy using my Cards and Dice but I still felt drawn to the idea of mastering the Act of Meditation, I tried it again and slowly started liking it, or maybe I liked the voice of the speaker in the Guided Meditation, It was so soothing he put me to sleep so quickly, Since then I have not stopped Meditating. Another good thing about it is this- there’s research suggesting that the practice of meditation may reduce:

Daily Motivation : Learn How To Keep Negative Minds And People Away From Your Positive Zone. #inspiration #qotd

Hey Lovelies,

I am sorry this post is long overdue, I have read your lovely emails and I appreciate all the tips and support, but I will shed light on the topic a little bit and when I am back I will go more into it.

Lifestyle: I Would Not Be Who I Am Today Without Spirituality.

So It's been a very hectic and strange year and I have not really done a lot of posts about spirituality lately I apologize, I have answered most of your questions via email and Instagram, many of you wanted to know ways to clear negative entities and energies away, I say it starts with the mind and then Action, it's one thing saying you do not want negativity around you and it's another thing to actually do something about it. I am one of those people who don't give a toss what anyone says about me, I live my life the way I want to live it but I live it RIGHT, you must be yourself and not another person's version of you, some people come into your life because they want to exploit you, you have to be strong and be able to recognize a toxic friend, a friend who does not serve you or bring positive things to your life will only end up being your worst enemy, so before things get too messy "Do the right thing" and let them go, a true friend or colleague will try to work it out and find out ways to change their negative behavior while a fake friend will exploit the situation and do what I call "SEEK PITY PARTY" and  "Play the VICTIM", but when it gets to that stage, pat yourself in the back and know that you did the right thing by letting them go.

Hair & Beauty: The Answer To Your Questions - What Is Balayage vs Sombre vs Ombre? #Hairstyles #Haircare

Hair styles are so versatile that they change with every changing season. In addition, there are new hair terminologies every time there’s a new style. These terms can be confusing, unfortunately.

In knowing the meaning and new terminologies, you will explain to your stylist how you wish her/him to style your hair with ease.

Therefore, when it comes to the coloring, you will hear people ask, what is balayage, sombre, and ombre?

While there are three different styles, they mostly are close to each other.

What Is Balayage?

It’s best described as the freehand painting. The essence of the painting is to create a naturally beautiful hair color that complements the skin tone.

First, to understand this better, you need to know where the word balayage is from. This word is used to refer to the quote ‘to sweep’ in French.

Traditionally, you will notice that the colorist use foil or cap technique for the coloring. When using the balayage process, you simply add color to the hair through a freehand motion.

In the end, you develop a sun-kissed natural-looking hair color. You then develop a natural blended hair look. I like the process because it involves no harsh chemicals use. This coloring style is done such that you don’t need to retouch it.

You will end up with different shades and parts for a full look.

Beauty & Lifestyle: Never Stop Doing The Things You Love. #instainspo #youtuber #vlogger

I always stress on the matter of always doing the things you love, Life can be overwhelming sometimes and we forget to look out for ourselves, When life tries to bring you down don't say "Why Me" Say "Try Me", surround yourself with Beautiful things and positive vibes, add a splash of colour to your daily life, do things that make you happy and above all know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

Lifestyle And Relationships : How Important Is Consistency In Our Daily Lives And Relationships?

Many who know me are very aware I am a true "Capricorn Female" and also a true believer in the word "Consistency", I always tell people - if you begin an adventure or a journey a certain way, stick to it, the minute you relax and divert from your course things will go crazy, and as we have seen in the world today many friendships, relationships, business partnerships have gone down the drain due to lack of consistency and also the influence of Social Media and Ideal Gossip.

Wednesday Motivation- Stop Apologizing For Your Emotions. #selflove #love

Sometimes it’s hard to admit what you’re feeling. You feel like you shouldn’t be upset when you are, or you get really super excited over the little things in life that make you smile. And no one seems to understand why you feel the way you do, But like I always advise people do not apologize for feeling the way you do.

 Always say what you mean and mean what you say. Express how you feel and don't ever apologize for being real, i always say in life you will realize that people will love the idea of you but with lack the maturity to handle the reality of you. No matter how hard you try, you can never please everyone. Follow your heart, make the most of every day, and be proud of who you are. Everyday I learn new things in life, I am so grateful to the universe for taking me through different difficult paths in life, i have had to learn the act of "forgiveness" and sending out good vibes and energies , I have learnt to never feel the need to put my emotions aside to please anyone and even though it does backfire as you will come across people in this life who never like to hear the truth , still never apologize for your emotions, remember you are magic , people will hate you, rate you, shake you and break you, But how strong you stand is what makes you.

Self-Love - Why Loving Yourself Is Very Important - Here Are Ways To Practice Self Love. #selflove

Being kind to yourself helps you bounce back, live healthier, and stay on track.

Self-compassion and Self-Love is a way of relating to yourself that does not involve harshly judging or punishing yourself for every mistake you make, or every time someone does better than you.

“Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support you’d show to a good friend. When faced with difficult life struggles, or confronting personal mistakes, failures, and inadequacies, self-compassion responds with kindness rather than harsh self-judgment, recognizing that imperfection is part of the shared human experience.” (Neff & Dahm, 2015)

Adopt a mindful attitude in which you deliberately pay attention to your inner experience so that you can notice when you are beginning to shift into a negative state. The minute you realize that you are thinking negative thoughts about yourself or feeling anxiety in your body, stop and say to yourself, "This is a difficult moment," or, "I’m feeling distressed in my mind and body.” Trust me, people, I have experienced this time and time again to the point I blamed myself for failing for letting people into my mind and making me feel weak and helpless but I had to tell myself "NEVER AGAIN", once you notice you no longer do the things you love doing, once you notice you are beginning to become a stranger to yourself, once you notice you let go of your inner desires and needs for greatness just to please others then it is time to "Let Go" and start doing things for yourself, stand in front of that Bespoke Mirror and say 

" I am Beautiful"

"I am Strong"

"I am Good Enough"

"I am who I want to be"

Practice daily affirmations. Our thoughts precede our emotions and behaviors.

*Recite mantras that encourage self-compassion. Bring your attention to being good to yourself.

*Journal your strengths and everything about you for which you are grateful. Document everything you accomplish, feel good about, do right, like about yourself, etc.

*Keep your self-talk positive. Turn down the volume of your inner critic and choose to be your best coach or cheerleader.

Smile, Laugh, Love, Be The Happiest Version Of Yourself, Let Go Of Pain, Of Hurt " Of Sadness, Let Go Of That Grudge you are holding onto as it will only bring you bitterness, Choose to be Happy and the rest will fall into place

*Set aside time for daily mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. These devotions will help you connect with your highest self.

*Make time for leisure and hobbies. Time for play and enjoyment is an important aspect of celebrating the gift of life.

*Prioritize sleep and exercise. You must reboot and revitalize your physical being.

Tricks For Bloggers And Instagrammers : Few Tips You Need To Know When Creating Your Platform. #BBloggers #InstaHub

Presentation is everything when it comes to your brand if you are a Social Media Influencer or a Social Media Personality I am sure you understand what I mean, many of you work for designer brands and influencer platforms where you are required to present an outstanding image and picture for the Marketer or Company, I see the hustle and I know good work pays off, but today I will just be mentioning a few helpful tricks for beginner Bloggers or even current bloggers, I believe we learn new things every day, no one is ever too good as growth is an everyday process.

Pick a unique topic – it is easier said than done to choose a topic that is unique from everyone else today in a blogosphere , you have to make sure your blog is different, yes a lot of bloggers tend to imitate each other however look around and gain ideas and makes yours different so it stands out from the crowd.

Your Blog Design – having a unique blog design doesn’t mean you need to pay big dollars for a custom design (I am a Website Builder and Graphic Designer and I have designed affordable websites for clients at affordable prices including long-term domain names) – but for now - start with a default one and tweak it with a unique logo, colors and layout. Visual first impressions count and can be the deciding factor as to whether people subscribe to your blog or not.

Make Sure Your Content Is Strong – perhaps the best way to stand out from the crowd and make an impression upon people is to produce content that impacts them in some way. Write something that matters, that helps people, that solves a problem, that enhances people’s lives and you drastically increase the chances of them coming back and bringing a friend with them, I am a motivational speaker and Spiritual Awareness Coach, I am also into Fashion Design and Styling, along with makeup and Beauty coaching, I also do 60% of Interior Design with a Diploma in Real Estate Agency, I try to incoporate my different skills and passion into my websites, but I always put 100% effort and thought into my blog and what I do, I always say if you have nothing better to write, do not write at all, there is nothing worse than writing a content that displeases the public, always think about your Audience first before putting those lovely fingers on the keyboard to type (pitty..patta...pitty...pitta)

Love Your Readers – this is key in the early days of a blog when readers seem scarce. The reality is that the 10 readers that you DO have already are a powerful resource – focus on them rather than the thousands of readers that you DON’T have. Love them – thank them for their comments – involve them in your blogging – promote them and the sites that they have and in doing so you’ll be building loyalty, trust, and relationship that one day will pay off. Each reader you have has their own network and can open up new audiences to you, so please if you have read this, and you like the post, do not hesitate to comment underneath with your blog link and also show love and I will definitely show love back.

Always remember, " Your Photographs or Illustration" is everything, make sure you have rights to the photos you use when blogger (I will talk about this in my next post), even though you are picking a photo off the internet, be sure to give credit where its due, or ask for permission from the Owner to avoid future Lawsuits (My my my..... few clients of mine have had experiences with these and I assure you, it's not pretty)

Have a Lovely week Ahead darlings. Love You.

Motivational Chat : Learn To Ignore Many Things In Life If You Truly Want Happiness. #qotd #wisequotes

Focus On Yourself in life, because the easiest way to a miserable life is to think that everybody is talking about you.

Never allow anyone to steal your joy from you. What people say behind your back is none of your business as long as you are true to yourself. Never worry yourself about that.

Sometimes minding your own business does not keep people out of your business. No matter your situation in life people will always talk. You can never stop people from talking about you, what you can do is to stop giving them what to talk about.

There is a time limit for every rumor in life. Never allow freelance broadcasters put your life on hold. Do what makes you happy. Anyone who cannot feel your pain has no right to judge you in life. Seventy percent of those who talk bad about you behind your back, wish to be like you. When people can't be like you they try to bring you down and condemn what you have. Those without money will sarcastically say money is not everything in life. Never allow anyone to put you in a position of depression and self-pity in life. Those whose life has no joy will always find every means to remove happiness from other people's life. 

 If there is the GRACE of GOD in your life, then enemies are inevitable. If no one has ever gossiped or talked bad about you, it means nothing good has ever happened to you. 

Never feel bad when old friends become new enemies. They are just tired of pretending to be friends.Never allow the opinions of people who didn't see your tears stop your laughter in life. You don't owe anybody an explanation to be happy. Never see yourself through the eyes of those who don't value you.To be beautiful means to be yourself. To stand out is to be outstanding. You do not need to be accepted by others. You just need to accept yourself.

Never beg anyone to accept you for who you are. Anything you acquire through begging will require begging to maintain or retain. Be humble but selective. Being selective doesn't mean you are arrogant or proud. It simply means you know your worth. If you are conscious of your personality avoid too much familiarity. Sometimes when you treat people too much like celebrities, they end up treating you like an ordinary person. You are equally important.

Never downgrade yourself while trying to upgrade anybody in life. Anyone who sees you like an option doesn't deserve to be a priority in your life. The dream of a fool is for everybody to become a bloody fool like himself.  Avoid negative people if you have a dream. Those without mission will say your vision is just an illusion.

Negative minds will never give you a positive life. Anyone who is always reminding you about what is wrong with you has a personal problem which he/she wants to take out on you. 

Most people spend half of their entire life analysing the faults in other people's lives, when their own lives need urgent repairs.Never worry yourself about enemies and friends, because everybody in your life will eventually fall into one of the two categories. Some will hate you and some will love you. Loving you or hating you are both in your favor. When people love you, you live peacefully and happily in their hearts,  and when people hate you, you become the landlord in their head living painfully in their brain every day and giving them sleepless nights.

 Try and live your life and do the things that make you happy this week, ignore negative people because they will never change, you focus on what matters most in life, Sending you all positive Vibes and Energy. Have a Lovely Week.
