Video #2 - My Natural Hair Journey: First Shampoo in 25 years

My Natural Hair Journey continues. My first shampoo in 25 years. For 25 years I've worn braids without taking them all out at once. Finally, I've gotten rid of the braids and here is a video documenting my first wash and two-strand twist-in. My hair is damaged and unhealthy. My first two-strand twist is not pretty, but I plan to bring my hair back to being healthy!

I will not use any heat, in other words, no blowdrying and

not combing nor brushing my hair for one year.

Studio Apartment Tour - Making a couch with Hardware and Reclaimed Materials

Living in Southern California is expensive
Living in Santa Monica, California is even more expensive
Living alone in Santa Monica is even more, more expensive
With it being expensive, I had to be creative about how I furnished my apartment; my studio apartment that is
I refused to give up color, art and designated areas in my studio apartment
In my main room, I've divided it with a floor divider into my bedroom and living room
To create my living room, I used hardware from Home Depot, reclaimed items from items left in my alley and materials purchased from Bed, Bath Beyond.
If you want to know where each item came from, then post your questions below and I will let you know, but first watch my video.
Tell me what you think
