This has got to be the worse winter(cold weather) as related to my hair. I feel so frustrated. I'm in a bit of a slump. I don't remember my hair being as dry last year. ughhh!!! Because I don't remember it being this dry last year, I had to evaluate what I did differently. Hmmm? Well, I now know why. I have been horrible at caring for my hair since taking my microbraids out this summer. :-/ This slump has caught up with me!
When you know better you do better, right? Well, I plan to start before the new year. I have spent the last couple days researching natural hair regimens and products. I've got to get my hair life together. And that's what I plan to do. :-) I will update you on that venture when I figure out what I want to do. In the meantime, I found this video from one of my favorite YouTubers, BlakIzBeautyful,. I think I will be more consistent using these products this way. Building a regimen is all about trial and error, right?
Since I'm off work until January for Christmas and Winter Break, I thought I would follow up my Christmas song blog with one dedicated to Movies. *insert Smile & Happy Dance here* So, consider this part 2 of that one. :-) Enjoy! This time of year makes me happy.
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas
This movie does a really good job of telling the true meaning of Christmas. Linus is a perfect example of "don't judge a book by it's cover". So, many lessons packed into 25 minutes.
2. This Christmas
This is a cute movie! Not to mention Columbus Short, Mekhi Phifer and Idris Elba are in there. lol Even though Chris Brown didn't make the list of songs, his "This Christmas" and "Try a little tenderness" are two of my favorites in this movie.
3. Home Alone
Nothing more to say...It's just a classic!
4. The Preacher' Wife
I love the music in this movie. I can remember pretending to be Whitney Houston and singing " I believe in you and me" and "Who would imagine a King". I loved those song!
5. Most movies on these 2 channels.
Every Christmas season I find myself watching movies on these channels. They start in November on one channel(can't remember which?). Even if I've seen them before, I always watch. :-)
What movie do you like to watch during the Christmas Season?
Aside from believing the true meaning of Christmas has nothing to do with a Santa, presents, and Christmas trees but everything about baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem There is something about this time of year that I absolutely love...Christmas music. One of my most memorable Christmas moments include putting up the Christmas decorations while listening to the Temptations harmonize "Silent Night". *Smile*
Here are a few of my favs that get me in the Christmas spirit or simply just make me smile. :-)
1. Silent Night by the Tempations
Who doesn't love this song at Christmas? It definitely gives you that warm feeling inside. This has to be one of my favs. :-) When I hear this song being played, I know it's Christmas.
2. Silver Bells by A Few Good Men
Shout out to the 90's. :-) This song definitely makes me smile. I love the part when they give us that "a merry merry merry merry Christmas..." lol I just LOVE this song!
3. Give Love on Christmas Day by The Jackson 5
I love the message in this song. It's so simple yet packed with a powerful message of love that should be practiced year round. Not just 1 day a year. Two if you want to include Valentine's Day.
:-)
4. Every Year, Every Christmas by Luther Vandross
As long as you're in a good head space, this is a great song. Either way Luther has a way of reeling you in with his soulful voice. I can remember hearing this every Christmas on the local radio station. Not at all since living here but there is always YouTube and Pandora.
:-)
5. Let it Snow by Boyz II Men
I love this song. This song always makes me feel like I should be sitting in front of a warm fire with that special person(whoever that is) while looking at the snow fall and sipping hot chocolate.
:-)
I have so many songs that are my favorite but it would take forever to put them up. These are only a few. Enjoy whatever Christmas song you listen to in this Season or all year round! Remember Jesus is the Reason...
