I am so passionate about majormusthaves. I’m constantly trying to figure out new ideas that I can share with you, and with that being said comes a lot of work.

It’s a constant battle if I should continue this journey of blogging because I get so many emails from my readers asking my to never stop blogging. I say readers, because these are the ones that enjoy my writing that comes from my soul. I try to share things from my heart the best way possible, plus it helps me get things off my chest. In that process (everyone I know follows my blog) my writing (a guilty conscience) sometimes make people assume that things are directed towards them. Like I said, I’m simply writing things from my heart and expressing how I feel on my blog, I may even be writing about another persons situation.

The joy of writing is kinda gone for me now. I will always have a passion for fashion, I just might chose to express it other ways. All I know is I don’t come here to show off, but to simply share the way I do things, and I defiantly never want to make others feel the need to compete. A lot of you don’t know me but always write me about how you can feel what I say is sincere through the computer screen. That means a lot to me.

Sometimes I just want to pack a backpack and take my kids and just travel and enjoy the simple things. Many of you don’t see that side of me and I will try to share more of that this year, but just because I like nice things doesn’t mean I’m not loving, caring, adventurous, giving, compassionate and humble. Sometimes when you have “things” it makes even the people around you lose track of who you are. I even downplayed myself for it in the past. I also find that my smile kills people too and I’ll never understand why. If I knew that someone was hurting, yet still smiling, I’d have nothing but prayer and admiration for that person. 

As for now the blog stays, but know that I put my all into this so never take it lightly. I just wanted to share how I was feeling out of respect for my faithful sincere readers. I’ve given myself a deadline for some things to change and if they don’t, it’s time to move on to the next phase of my life. 

Hope you all have a great day. I also want to thank majormusthaves blog for always listening to me when there was no one there to listen…

I wore this a couple weeks back to take my baby to yoga and lunch. I love wearing multiple dainty necklaces ranging in length. It adds a unexpected touch always. Try it.

stop the war in your mind

stop the war in your mind

Ladies, make sure that you’re not participating in gossip. This is the main problem in women. We love to talk down on one another instead of protecting each other and lifting each other up. I use to gossip when I was younger, but now I don’t want to talk about anyone especially not my friends. I always want to protect them not destroy them or anyone for that matter.

If you’ve been gossiped about, no need to confront the person, just forgive them. We all should  forgive quickly and easily so it doesn’t fester and occupy space in your brain. We should focus on the good in people rather than the bad. With that being said, I constantly have to pray for God to protect me, because I should leave people alone that I know don’t have my best interest at heart. I always know in trying to do good there will always be distraction. Just remember not to waste time focusing on these negative things, there will always be a war with good and evil, so focus on the gifts and blessings in your life.

Know that God can take a heart of stone and turn it into a heart of gold. It’s a constant battle with the mind to get inner peace. It starts with trying to have a pure heart and trying to see others the way God sees them.

Have a blessed day everyone…

Sometimes it’s hard for me to stay focused on the main thing I’m suppose to be doing, because there are outside distractions deterring me. I really want to do so much. Some people can make you feel small and feel like nothing is possible, but all things are possible through God and anyone that knows me knows that the only way I could have made it through a lot of the things I’ve been through, is God!

When people say they don’t understand how a sinner or someone that isn’t perfect can still talk about God hasn’t relied upon him to bring them through a storm. I have to stay focused on Him so I can get better, be better and live better. I also have to have strong faith in Him because of some of the people in my life that need prayer. God sometimes assigns you to certain people to pray for them so hopefully they’ll see the right ways of doing things.

Accomplished So Much

morningEvery night I sleep with the television on and as I was waking up this morning I heard President Obama’s giving his 2nd term inauguration speech. I instantly became so inspired, feeling like I can do anything seeing that he has accomplished so much when others thought it was impossible.

Hope you guys have a great day!

I just wanted to thank all the powerful women in my life that has always had my back and covers me no matter what. They all support me in all my endeavors. I have a lot of great meaningful people around me and I’m thankful God has blessed me with them.

Lately, I’ve really been just taking everything in, focusing on the positive people in my life, not the negative ones that you have to encounter because you have no choice.

I am rich with unconditional love and that’s priceless.

Have a blessed day;).

many hairstyles of majormusthaves…

many hairstyles of majormusthaves…

My straight looks.

1. Twist two pieces back and pin. They call me Pocahontas when I do this.

2. Part hair on either side almost to the end of your eye brow.

3. Feather the side bangs back. Add a hair broach for sparkle.

4. I always use my shades as a headband.

5. Take one side of your hair and twist it back.

Sparkle

My friends and everyone that knows me know I love sparkle. I almost always have some sparkle in my hair. I’ve done it since high school.

Buns.

When I was younger I would throw my hair in a bun but not as a style to go out. It wasn’t until my husband started telling me he loves my hair like this, when we first met, was when I made it into different cute looks.

1. Wet bun twisted and pined down tight.

2. Wet bun as well, but folded under and dry out to have a puffy look. The second day always looks better.

3. A old bun after my pressed hair gets greasy, and of course a sparkle pin at the top.

4. A low wet bun.

5. A calculated messy bun with pieces pulled out.

The inward corn row.

My mom did my hair like this as a child. My hair was so thick so this would last for days. I love it and will never stop wearing it. I also do my daughters hair like this.

1. A braid to the side to camouflage greasy hair and sweaty edges from working out.

2. I use to get a half weave before I went on vacation (until my husband begged me to stop) I braid my hair on the side and let the weave be curly so it can blend more.

3. Another braid on oily hair.

4. A wet braid with a twist on the side pinned up in the back.

Pony-tails.

1. Wet ponytail with a simple braid.

2. I put a lift in the front first, then I do a ponytail in the back. I blend the lift into it. Braid the my hair in the ponytail and blow-dry slightly with gel, mouse and let it out so the hair can be wavy.

3. One corn row going straight back down my head, looks like a ponytail if you can get it tight enough.

4. A simple straight ponytail.

Finally… what I’m famous for is my curls;)

1. My friend T curled my hair with big barrel curlers. About one in a half inch size.

2. I used the wond to do my hair then I pinned the front back.

3. I curled my hair with a small curling iron and pinned for a couple hours then let it down right before I get dressed.

4. I curled my hair facing inward and pinned the top.

5. On this pic I curled my hair like Farrah going outward.
