WHAT MAKES AN ARTIST?

SEX APPEAL

CONFIDENCE

ATTITUDE

CREATIVITY

i've been asking myself this question for the past couple of weeks.
staring at myself in the mirror.
looking for any signs.
when i look.

i see something.
in the far distance. emerging.
i am learning
who i am
what i represent
what my voice is
and
who i stand for.

all these traits
an artist must incorporate
to survive in the music industry.

but i believe
i can find something else.

i am on this journey to discovery who i am as an artist.
as i journey to acquire all the traits.
it is just not enough.
i need to find that something exxtra.

First hair check-in

My hair journey has come a long way. But last year I really spent no time on my hair. I'm seeing a lot if space in my strands. It still has some length but it is very thin.

Apart of my artistry is to have gorgeous hair. So I'm back on my regimen. We're gonna nurture these strands to their ultimate sexiness.

First I'm gonna start with my relaxer.

I'm prepping my hair for a relaxer in 3 days.

After that, I am gonna do

1) two washes a week, one is a poo wash, the other will be a deep conditioning co-wash.

2) I will alternate with protein deep conditioning and moisturizing deep conditioning.

3) I will get a sulfate free moisturizing shampoo. Hair one.

4) I need to get coconut oil.

5) I need to have a nighttime regimen. Moisturize , seal, and then satin/silk scarf wrap

Star quality

What makes star quality? How do you step out from the rest and be a star?

Is it the makeup an outfits?

The money?

I think it's just the experience. When you see the world through those eyes.... It's like you are elevated on a different level above the rest.

In "the artists way" it touches on jealousy and how to combat that. Basically it says if you find yourself in a jealous moment look at it and think about emulating the event that caused such greenery behind the eyes.

Today I tried it. As I felt the jealousy monster poke from under my bed. I thought about switching places.
Or thinking.... Could I emulate this tomorrow?

The truth was simple. No. I'm not ready.

No reason for jealousy here because this person is ready and I'm not.

In fact, I have no time now to be jealous because I am now planning how I am gonna be ready.

G'nite.

New moon

It has been quite a crazy two weeks into January. I am enjoying the transition. Granted I've always been a little hesitant with changes, I have welcomed this new change into my life. I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish, how I handled myself in a stressful position, and I'm proud of the new me facing the brisk changes.

This week I've sunk into a better mode of working. I've had such wonderful free time and I'm looking forward to more of it.

This is the year of changes for me and I'm definitely ready for something new, a new adventure and a new me!

Immediately I felt a shift change in my stress after December 30th came and gone. I am more focused, taking better care of myself and really soaking in the present moment.

It's a beautiful thing. I could cry.....

It's almost as beautiful as this gorgeous blush that I came across in the mac store today!
