Life Haul Master Class: Courtney (ThinknGrowChick) & Myleik (CEO, Curlbox)

Last Night, Blogger Courtney of ThinkNGrowChick and CEO Myleik held a Life Haul Master Class on Google Hangouts and to say that it was great is such an understatement. Can we say EMPOWERING, MOTIVATIONAL, INFORMATIVE...

.

I was sitting at the computer taking notes and texting my friends many of her statements. By the end of the night I just had to tell them Goodnight because I know they were tired of hearing me. When you are motivated and inspired at times others won't understand the way that you feel and it is okay. I have to remind myself that it is not anyone else's vision other than mines. 

I just want to state some pointers that she spoke on last night that really stuck with me.

1. Have your MINDSET together.

2. She states she is not lazy and she is competitive. Sleeping in has a big impact on your life.

3. Don't have too much pride where you feel as if you can't do something that your coworkers do. i.e, take out the trash.

4. Learn that if people do not like you, it has nothing to do with YOU. 

5. You will often be OVERWHELMED. But you rather be overwhelmed with your business than being broke and not able to pay bills.

6. When you start GIVING, the MONEY CHASES YOU.

7. Jobs will put you in a salary mindset.

8. College sometimes have you thinking in a limited way. If you take this and this then you can make $60,000/year when some people bring that income in monthly.

9. DO NOT get off of your SCHEDULE.

10. Start trying to figure out ways to INCREASE your INCOME.

11. DON'T put things off.

12. Get your FOOT IN THE DOOR and GO OFF!! Those chances lead to more opportunities.

13. When people come to you with their issues, POLITELY HAND THEM BACK!

14. Black women spend the most on hair products, and services. 

15. Maintain relationships with people, whether it's old coworkers or friends. You never know who may be of help.

16. You should ALWAYS be SAVING MONEY. Save money so that you don't have to put up with other's bullsh** and so that you can have freedom.

Wish List: Huetiful Hair & Facial Steamer

I'm always talking about what I want, what I want, what I want. A bad habit that I have is impulse spending which I will not brag on at all. It is the worst thing ever. So, I've decided that a wish list is better. Things that I would like to have so that I can save up and splurge on when the time is right.

One product that I have been eyeing for a very long time is the Huetiful Hair & Facial Steamer


The mastermind behind the steamer is Ken Burkeen. The steamer is a product that hydrates and strengthens your hair. It is great for women with very dry hair because it basically restores moisture to your scalp and hair shafts.

I am a person who has a very dry scalp. I suffer from dandruff and psoriasis, so moisture does not stay with me for too long. I'm always having to go a day with very oily hair because after a while my scalp is screaming for some type of moisture. Also, having break outs on my face this steamer would be great for hydrating my skin. Using this product after tight masks could help to reduce the irritation and redness of my skin replenishing it again.

If you log on to the behuetiful webpage you can find out more information and tips. This will definitely be apart of my wish list and I can't wait to share with you all the results once I have purchased the product.  (Information Credit Below: behuetiful website)

The science behind how it works

When your hair is dry thirsty the best thing for it to drink is water. Hydration strengthens your hair and improves manageability. 

1. Start by shampooing and conditioning your hair; leaving your favorite conditioner in your hair for 5 minutes 

2. Sit under the Huetiful Hair Steamer for 15-20 minutes without a cap on. The steamer will automatically shut off when done 

3. The warm steam naturally lifts up the hair cuticles (Note: hair cuticles are like shingles covering a rooftop)

4. By lifting the hair cuticles, your conditioner can more deeply and effectively penetrate into every strand of your hair (moisturizing)

5. The steam will also be infused into the hair shaft (hydrating)

Let's Talk: Law of Attraction

 

I'm so not focused today, well I am but I'm not. You get my jist right??? I've been busy trying to get things in order for new levels of success in my life and although it's a lot of work I don't mind it at all. I'm ready for the fruition, I'm ready for progress and challenges. I am ready to attract everything that the universe gives to me. One of my daily brewed teas that I love to drink is called Yogi  which comes with inspirational messages attached to the bag. I've gotten two that states Let things come to you and in regards to that my mantra for 2014 (that I actually got from Myleik of Curl box) is "Need Nothing, Attract Everything" Ironic right?

I've become an avid reader again and lately I've been reading two books, Russell Simmons Rich book and also the Secret. I watched The Secret on Netflix some time ago and to say the least it was very intriguing. The thoughts, the power, the attraction that we have in our life is something that many people don't even realize that they have. Everything is based on the law of attraction, and we can have whatever it is that our heart desires if we ASK, BELIEVE, and RECEIVE. It is really that simple. The thoughts that we have manifests what we bring into our life. 

Go ahead and imagine yourself having that million dollar bank account, that house with the green lawn, your dream job, your figure 8 shape, whatever it is... Align yourself and your thoughts with the universe, and watch what happens... 

I can't tell you all how excited I am for everything to unfold in my life, I am getting my thoughts in order, myself in position to receive so much in the next few days, months and years to come. I AM READY!! 

ARE YOU?
