October favorites 2016 | NEW Fragrance | NEW Photoshoot | EOS | NICKA K New York

Hello Lovies,

I love doing favourites videos and I wish I could feature more stuff, but I have what I have and I am happy you still stop by to check out my monthly faves. This month I got a few more stuff than last month.

1. Be Joyful Fine Fragrance Mist by Bath & Body Works http://amzn.to/2gMj0jG

This fragrance blend of perfume and fruitiness is loved by everyone who smells it. I couldn't resist, but to place it on my monthly favorites list. Usually, you have to spray a lot when using mists, but this one is pungent. 

2. Family Portrait (Click here to view more photos)

Who doesn't love a good family portrait? I mean really. These wonderful shots were taken by Expression Photography. Tel: 1876-469-7445

3. NICKA K New York Eyebrow Pencil (Cocoa NEP04) http://amzn.to/2gZSdmJ

 

4. Anco Eye Pencil in Dark Brown (colour number, 25), type soft.

 I love this eye pencil for my brows a lot. I think it goes almost perfectly with the shade that would best suit my brows. No need to go heavy on it though. You can look drag! lol. A very light application goes a long way.

5. Drop Lace Waist Dress from Forever 21 in Size Sml

This 'little black dress' is a tad bit too little for me, but can be worn at the beach or at a nice hotel. This made my October Faves list because of the lining on the inside. I am definitely cutting it out and wearing that lovely lining to bed.

6. One-A-Day Women's Multivitamin Tablets http://amzn.to/2fW6g8a

I love these multivitamins. We really do not get enough nutrition from food nowadays, especially if that food is an GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). I feel so bright and full of energy when I take these. I would like to know if they are synthetic in anyway. I hope not.

7. Rite Aid Cod Liver Oil (30 count only to link provided for purchase) https://goo.gl/3dCNa3

  8. EOS Lip Balm http://amzn.to/2fJLYmV

I love, love, this lip balm for days when you don't want to wear a sticky lip gloss or you just want to keep it neutral, EOS lip balm is the deal and it comes in different flavours. The blue one smells a tad bit fruity, but nothing strong. Very stubble.

NCU FM 5k Run / Walk 2016

Soooooooooooooo, I attended my first 5k, EVER, although I volunteered and didn't actually participate. It was fun and informative.

At the crack of dawn we went to Brooks Park, Mandeville, as volunteers where the run/walk would commence. Upon getting there I thought that persons weren't going to come out in their numbers, but closer to 7am the patrons came out in their droves.

Here are a list of things I did not know about a 5k:

. All ages are eligible on entering, including little kids.

. Cyclist can participate too.

. You can run OR walk.

. There are prices for categories other than running.

. Water is free.

. There is usually an after concert and entertainment.

. Many other large situations, corporations and bodies support.

This was NCU FM's first 5k and I must say they did well for a first try and it was well organized.

How to make Chocolate!

Hello Everyone,

I have waited a might long time to do this as I am on a new journey to live a healthier life diet wise. Before I get into the recipe and ingredient aspect of it, I want to share what exactly is chocolate. chocolate's main ingredient isn't chocolate firstly. Its main ingredient is actually Cocoa and cocoa is very, very bitter. It is a bean or a seed looking bean that comes from the Cocoa tree. It is housed in a cocoon looking fruit and seeded. I learned that chocolate and confectionery companies pack a whole lot of sugar into their chocolate. Cocoa is very, very bitter and to get rid of that bitterness you have to add lots of sugar and milk. At least when you make your own chocolate you can ddetermine how much sugar and milk you want to add.

Ingredients:

. Cocoa Beans http://amzn.to/2gtLfCn 

. Condensed Milk http://amzn.to/2gLdv7K 

Products: 

. Mill (substitute) http://amzn.to/2fAkkUF 

. Grease Paper http://amzn.to/2g54sgP

1. In total the cocoa beans I purchased from my local market was about 3 pounds I think. That is just an estimate. Initially the cocoa beans were a bit moist on the outside and because I had never purchased them before or knew nothing about them I had them sitting in the refrigerator for months. Every few weeks I would crack one and ensure it isn't spoiling. They were very fresh when I was ready for them regardless of how long I had them in the refrigerator.

2. I spread the Cocoa Beans into a baking tray and put them in the oven until I heard a popping sound. The popping sound indicates that the shell is breaking away from the actual seed that we will get our chocolate from.

3. After roasting, removing the shell is very easy. It reminds me a lot like shelling peanuts. When the shell of the cocoa bean was too hard to crack after roasting, I would set those aside and roast again until I had shelled everything.

4. Now we will grind the roasted shelled cocoa beans. This grinder that I used was purchased in Guyana. I am not sure if you can find this easily where you are, but I did manage to find one online here at http://amzn.to/2fAkkUF. The first time I grind the cocoa beans into dust, the dust was very course. I realized that passing the course cocoa dust through the mill until it became soft, did the trick.

5.  Now it is time for the fun part. We are going to add milk and sugar to our cocoa to get what everyone knows as chocolate. With the little amount of milk and sugar I added, I actually made dark chocolate. I added 1 part condensed milk (which already has sugar), two parts cocoa cream and mixed the ingredients together.

 6. It is time to microwave. I put it on 1 minute first, but because of the amount of cocoa and condensed milk, 1 minute was not enough. I put in 4 minutes additional on the microwave. You can play with your minutes depending on how fast or slow your microwave it. If you are not into microwaving food, you can cook yours in a pot over fire until everything melts together. I should let you know that cocoa beans have a natural oil and when grinded into a smooth texture it is nice and soft, but when left at room temperature overnight it clumps up and becomes dry, but the moment it touches heat and moisture it gets soft again.

7. After microwaving, stir until it becomes cool again.

8. Place chocolate on a flat surface that is covered with grease paper and spread chocolate into a thick sheet. Cover with another sheet of grease paper and flatten with a metal baking sheet for a smooth top.

9. Now refrigerate and then cut ass desired.

How to start a Healthy Lifestyle | The Truth about Eating Healthy | Live a Better Life

We go through so many phases in our lives where when we get to our current phase, in many cases we never imagined being there. Today my current phase is living a healthier life in the way and what I eat. I guess a lot people aren't going the healthier way just because they think it is just another thing to do, but we all have our reasons. 

Products mentioned in this blog:

. One-A-Day Women's Multivitamin Tablets http://amzn.to/2fW6g8a

. Cod Liver Oil Capsules http://amzn.to/2f0vJwl 

I want to start by talking about refined sugar. I have a major sweet tooth and over the years I have indulged a little too much in sodas, sweets, just to name a few. Foods with or that are solely refined sugars or processed foods could be so bad for us as they provide little or no nutritional value. When we consume these foods, especially at high rates our bodies aren't absorbing any nutrition from these foods and thus when diseases coming lurking our bodies cannot defend itself against these diseases.

Processed foods can range from sausages to cup soups to juices made from syrup and colouring. I always wanted to eat healthy, but kept bouncing back and forth because I just couldn't help myself, but my bad diet habits have caused me to have issues such as chronic recurring yeast, awful chest burns, feeling lethargic, etc. I noticed that eating and drinking was affecting me also and I discovered this one day when the Holy Spirit said to me that I should just eat and not drink anything afterwards. I obeyed and did as recommended and noticed a big difference in how my body responded. Since then I have not been eating and drinking, because it makes me extremely gassy. Also, I read a very interested article on the correct way for eating fruits. It will amaze you. Click here to read that article.

Popular YouTuber, The Chic Natural's hair all of a sudden up and started getting long and thick. Her hair was always average and seemed as though it couldn't grow pass or advance pass the stage it was at. Many of her Subscribers noticed and requested a video of her telling about what she was doing that had gotten her such excellent results. She mentioned 4 things and one of those things were how healthy she has been eating and I believe this because she turned vegan prior to this rapid hair growth. In her diet, she doesn't eat canned foods, processed foods, etc. Even before The Chic Natural came out with this I was contemplating a Vegan diet anyway, just because I know that it is better.

Some may ask, why veganism? I say yes to it because animal products nowadays is just packed up with so many things that aren't good for our bodies. Don't believe me? Check the facts. This is not a research article, so I won't get into the technicalities of it right now. The way I have chosen to eat for the time being, is just better.

Right Now I am not working, but I am managing somewhat with my new diet. The name of my business is Roti Darling and for some very rational reasons I closed the business temporarily. Until then I am introducing news about my eBook. Many persons have been asking me about my YouTubing experience and I have decided to write about it and show others how they too can earn a living from YouTubing.

All the things I talk about can be found in links below.

I will end with my new venture. Selling hair. Hair is a billion dollar industry and I signed up with www.luxuryhairdirect.com/join/by/josephinedenny to sell hair. It is pretty basic to sign up and start selling. With each purchase someone makes you earn 15% of that purchase and what is better is that when someone who has signed up through you makes a sale you earn 5% of that sale also. Even when  someone signs up third party you earn 2% when they make a sale. It is most def a win, win, situation.

AFRO KINKY CROCHET Natural Hairstyle on a 2 Strand Twist Out PIN UP

Hello Everyone. Now I have a confession. I am obsessed with long hair and I always wanted to get ground breaking information on how I could grow my hair longer without using a chemical straightener. 

I follow The Chic Natural on YouTube and I realized that all of a sudden her hair just started getting longer than it usually could and thicker. She finally came out and said that one of the reasons for that is because of the many protective styles that she has been wearing. Although I am not a fan of protective styling, I do believe that it can aid in allowing your hair to grow longer. You can watch her video called How To GROW HAIR Long, Thick & Healthy FAST! (4 easy steps) by clicking here.

I chose to use the Afro Kinky hair, because I wanted this style to resemble my natural hair as best as possible. 

Products used in this tutorial:
. Afro Kinky Bulk in the colour 1B 12" http://amzn.to/2eRyHDG
. Afro Kinky Bulk in the colour 1B 20" http://amzn.to/2fLdJbk
. Crochet Latch Hook Needle 
. Vinandra Health Solutions Shea Butter Hair and Scalp Oil (Call 1876-829-2430 to purchase)
. Shampoo Comb http://amzn.to/2eRFU6l
. Comb http://amzn.to/2g4QUTY
. Jumbo Hair Pins http://amzn.to/2evVU2N 
. Hair Brush http://amzn.to/2fOlWKZ

1. I started on freshly washed hair and oiled my scalp to prevent drying out after this protective style will be applied. I used Vinandra Health Solutions Shea Butter Hair and Scalp Oil to moisturize my scalp.

2. I like to massage my scalp when I am done oiling it. My scalp hurts easily and massaging it helps reduce that tender feeling. I had envisioned doing a pin up after applying this crochet so I left out a row of hair to the two sides and back of my hair at the base of my hair, so that that hair could hide as best as possible the crochet in my roots.
 

3. I cornrowed the section that I would leave out temporarily and begin the cornrow for the crochet. The cornrow for the crochet was done in a spiral style. I am amazed I got my hand to turn and twist in all those motions. For the hair that was left at the extreme back of my head that was not apart of the spiral style, I cornrowed those in a snake and ladder fashion.

4. Now it is time to apply the hair by crocheting it in. Please note that this is not a 'How to Crochet Hair Method' tutorial, so if you are not too keen on the crochet method, please feel free in looking it up. I used 1 small pack 12" Afro Kinky Bulk Realistic in the colour 1b by Bijoux and 1 regular pack 20" Afro Kinky Bulk Realistic in the colour 1b by Bijoux. I purchased the 12" by accident and wished I had gotten at least 2 regular size packs of the 20" instead, but I made it work. 

5. To the back and sides I crocheted in the 12" hair first with a Crochet Latch Hook Needle and when I ran out of the 12" hair I put in the 20" hair.

6. After all the hair has been added. We will take average sized sections, detangle completely, trim and two strand twist tightly.

7. Some of the twists got long strings to the ends when I was done, so I put the ends in a loop and carried the hair around and around until it was done to get a curly effect to the edges when those twists gets let out.

8. For each twist we will dip in very hot water in order for the twists to set.

9. Let Twists out after they have been hot watered for Pin Up. I also let out the hair I had let out at the base and brush in an upward position.

10. For the actual Pin Up I grab a big section of the back, roll it upwards like a french roll and pin down.

11.After the back has been fixed I pin the two sides down.

12. When it comes to the front I ensure I pin it forward in order to hide my crochet roots.
