The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain

And the whole waiting for change to happen will never work. Change has to be demanded

because im a language geek I’d go one further and say change must be taken because a demand can still be denied

an oppressor can never liberate

and I was also taught never to accept “no” from those lacking the power to say ‘yes’ 

All of this!!

My Wash & Style Regimen with Shea Moisture Products

I have finally found my holy grail of hair products!

That Shea Moisture ABS purification mask is like heaven in a bottle. Now I see what everyone was raving about. I deep conditioned/pre-pooed with it for 30 mins than rinsed in the shower. It had pretty good slip especially under the shower stream.

I heard mixed reviews for the Shea Moisture curling soufflé, but I found it works best on soaking wet hair. It’s sticky to apply and easy to be heavy-handed with, so I applied it while still in the shower, finger detangled and quickly passed the section under the water to distribute and to rinse off excess product. Then twisted and bunned the section.

When I got out of the shower, I used an old t-shirt as a turban towel to dry. After lotioning up and getting dressed, I finally removed the t-shirt and untwisted a section and my tight milimeter diameter coils were beautiful, defined and detangled!

When I was ready to add my leave-in/styler, I used the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and styled in twisted two-strand Bantu knots.

I’m still waiting for my hair to dry but I will definitely post pictures of the finished product.

Foil: Shiny side up or down?

americastestkitchen:

According to Reynolds Consumer Products, during manufacturing, two layers of aluminum foil are passed through the rolling mill at the same time. The side that comes in contact with the rollers becomes shiny, and the other side emerges with a duller finish. But is there a difference in how the surfaces reflect heat that affects cooking?

Even in the test kitchen, some test cooks prefer cooking with the shiny side up, others the opposite. To settle the issue once and for all, we baked stuffed manicotti covered with foil shiny side up and shiny side down. A probe thermometer inserted in the center revealed that both casseroles reached the same temperature (within a couple of degrees) in the same amount of time. To test browning, we oven-baked bacon on foil-lined baking sheets. Shiny side and dull side produced crisp, golden-brown bacon within a few seconds of each other.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The shiny and dull sides of aluminum foil insulate and conduct heat at the same rate.
