Vision Unfolds Part I: Introducing Morning Dew Hair Products

Everyone has dreams rights?  Sad thing is most people just leave those aspirations floating around in their minds.  I used to be one of those people...no longer!  I have made the decision to do what I want to do with these great ideas that are in my mind.  I dont believe fully in coincidence, I know there is a God who leads those that allow Him to, and when he leads...success is inevitable! How do I know?  I'm glad you asked...

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions Proverbs 8:12
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
 God never promised us that He would make us successful but he promised that if we obey his commandments that we will MAKE OUR WAY successful and prosperous.  O yes you have to do the work!  

I never saw myself as a business owner, I didn't see myself as creative or with a skill set to do anything in that vein.  I'm a science nerd....I mean what could I do?  To me at that time, it just didn't seem feasible, I was too left brained for that.  I got over that notion after just allowing myself to ponder the possibility of something more in my life than my original plan.  If I have access to infinite wisdom....why not tap in?  So I began to vision cast....you should try it.  ITS FREE! 

You would be surprised at what your mind can download when just THINK! Ideas began to flow to me like a waterfall! I saw how I could use my love for science and my other random interests to create a business.  My plan is rather vast but the first branch is a HAIR CARE LINE! I can use my scientific expertise and my obsession with hair to come up with something wonderful....and I DID!  Thus Morning Dew Hair Products
was born!  I am launching my very first product; Mango Coconut Sunshine!  I'm so excited...Ive been allowing people locally to try it out and its creating a buzz!  This is the first of many ventures...

So what exactly are you waiting for?  There's greatness inside of you if you would just reach down in there and pull it out....I believe in you!  I will support a vision in a minute!  Let me know if you need help...I'm here for you!  Lets do this! First step is to dream it up...

Look out for my Hair Meetup!  Not just natural hair but HAIR in general...its time for all of us to have healthy hair and not be separate...we can learn from each other. Relaxed or natural...its hair and should be taken care of!

If you are interested in trying out my product here is a link to my order form (payment is not required to order, I will contact you to discuss shipping if you are not local)

Yellow Teeth...BE GONE!

Ever talk to someone and they have outstanding teeth...isn't that refreshing!?! There is something endearing about a beautiful smile regardless of what they look like otherwise (chuckle, chuckle).  Well I would consider myself to have beautiful teeth (gap and all...I actually love my gap it has personality).  I like for them to be as white  and smooth as possible! The thought of having brown teeth is FRIGHTENING!  

So how do you keep your teeth white? BRUSH THEM! DUH! Not only that...you have to be careful with the types of things you eat...coffee definitely will stain your pearly whites as well as tea (tear...), red wine, cranberry juice, cola, blueberries, curry and even soy sauce.  The list goes on and on....

We all have a liking to at least one of these things....so we will need some help. Crest has come out with a toothpaste that only God could inspire.  Its called 3D White!  I love it!  After one use...I noticed a considerable difference! I still use salt once a week (see my earlier entry on using salt on your teeth).   Ive been smiling ever since.  To ice the cake, one of my students said to me WOW you have the prettiest white teeth Miss...well its official! I'm a fan and a loyal customer for sure!  I would recommend this product!

Wondering how it works well its simple...
The paste contains sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) that disrupts the stains pellicle (the thin layer of stain on your tooth enamel)...once it is broken...the abrasion from you brushing will remove it from your teeth.  This has to be something done on a regular basis to have true results....but we all brush daily right?  RIGHT!  The paste also polishes the enamel to give you a nice bright and shiny smile!

In conclusion....BUY THIS TOOTHPASTE!  I give it 5 stars, 2 thumbs up!
It was on sale at Wal-Mart recently in my area too....a 2 pack!

Till Next Time

Smiling Brightly :)

First Jogging Now Cycling....Unbelievable

I wrote a blog a few weeks back talking about my journey to become a runner....well more like jogger.  I finally started the C25K app on my phone...which is TOUGH!  Im getting the hang of it though.  Now I have a friend who purchased and started riding a bike and he is really enjoying it and reaping the benefits. At first I was like HECK NO, I aint getting on a bike! Every time I see him...he looks thinner...I WANT IN ON THIS! and then....I started wanting one too...
 SO I BROUGHT ONE!  

I got a simple cruiser....single speed comfort bike.  I am not interested in mountain biking or ripping up the trail...but I do like the feel of riding with the breeze in my face while burning fun calories.  I just got it today and took a nice ride around my complex...IT WAS WONDERFUL! 219 calories in about 15 minutes....yay!  I use the app RunKeeper to track my progress...it uses the GPS to calculate my mileage and calories burned. 

So far so good....I love my bike!

Till Next Time....

TWA: You have to maintain it ladies!

So you went natural?  Cool! That's a big deal....congrats! Welcome to the cool kids table...lol (I kid...I joke, relaxed girls can sit too).   So now what do you do with this Teeny Weeny Afro affectionately known as a TWA? No worries your hair will most likely grow out quickly and you wont have TWA for long unless you want to. There are some things you will need to know and even more things you will have to do.  Whether you are relaxed or natural, healthy African American hair takes WORK especially if you are working from the house.  Some of us prefer it that way (like myself), others will lean on salons and that's cool too!

First...EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT HAIR TEXTURE! You may not be able to do the same thing as the next lady...you will have to accept that precious. Know your hair texture, find someone who has similar hair like you and go from there.  There will be trial and error honey!
Also understand that you will have to PURCHASE quality products...no more cheap mineral oil filled products (holla at me...I make an awesome moisturizer for a great price). Learn to read labels, if your see mineral oil as the first or second ingredient....PUT IT DOWN! It will leave you hair dry and ashy looking...no bueno!
      • Invest in some good gel as well...I prefer Eco Styler but there are others as well...
 Your TWA needs to be shaped and not raggedy looking....if you dont have defined curls...its OK! Everyone does not have curly hair...YOUR texture is BEAUTIFUL! If you like the curly look...do a twist/braid out (twist or braid hair while wet and let dry...when you unravel your hair will have "curl") You just have to find your niche....dont follow a beauty standard or try to be someone else...CREATE YOUR OWN!
You will have to pay more attention to your FACE! Something about a TWA brings attention to and brings out your face.  Its a good thing...we often hide behind our hair and dont pay enough attention to our faces.  So skin care and makeup will have to be a investment you should pursue.  Drink your water and take your vitamins (it helps your hair grow too)!  Also keep your eyebrows done.....its important; Im currently teaching myself how to arch my eyebrows at home for those emergency situations when you cant get to a salon...I believe its a good skill to have...
A good collection of earrings is also a staple for us natural girls, that's if you rock earrings....Afros and fabulous earrings are just a good combo :)
 You must DIVORCE YOURSELF FROM THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. Your biggest haters will be other black folk. They will frown, call you nappy headed among other things...WHO CARES!  Some dont realize how rude and offensive they can be...love them where they are.  If you are trying impress someone....you might as well get a perm now...
YOUTUBE IS YOUR FRIEND....WATCH IT! So many great videos on hair maintenance for all types of textures....
 

Here are some videos that may help you out....






 Enjoy your fro...dont let it be a waiting room for when your hair grows out....do it big now!
If you any questions...let me know...Im here for you!

Till Next Time....
Picking my Afro cause its flat one side ;-)
