Still Undecided…

Now that things are coming to and end at my current job, I’m trying to think of what else I would like to do with my life. If I decide on a new career, I’m still young enough to go back to school for something different. The only problem is I have no idea what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. Actually, I do. But those two jobs are more volunteer than anything. And although I love them and they make me happy, they don’t pay the bills. =/

I wouldn’t mind doing something in the medical field, perhaps even Recreational Therapist Jobs. I love helping people and I’m usually very patient and encouraging. I think that’s what important if you work in the medical field. No one wants to deal with rude and impatient people when they are sick or injured.

Bothersome Lashes

I hate my eyelashes so much! We just don’t get along. For as long as I can remember they have been falling out left and right. Every day a lash falls in my eye and I have to do the ‘eye roll and tuck’ to get it out. I tried rinsing my eyes with water but that never works. I’d rather just rub my eye until it comes up or down and then I take a clean cloth or my finger and pull it out. Yes, it is as painful as it sounds. And just think, I go through this every single day!

If I could, I would definitely try eyelash growth products to make my lashes grow thicker, longer and stronger. I would even settle for just stronger lashes that didn’t fall out every day. What’s funny is that even though I lose lashes every day I still have a lot. My eyelashes never look thin or weird. They must grow back very fast!

I Guess I’m Stuck Here

I think I’m starting to accept the great possibility that I will never, ever, ever get out of New Jersey. Even if I move I’ll probably be stuck here. So sad. I don’t want my obituary to say “lifelong resident of New Jersey.” That’s horrible. I hate this state so much! I actually entertained the thought of moving to Pennsylvania to be near my Goddaughter but I don’t think that’s going to happen now. No soon as we really got the thought in our heads good, my other cousins moved there.

I really don’t want to go there if the whole family plans to end up out there. That’s defeating the purpose of leaving Jersey. I hope eventually we’ll at least be able to look at homes for rent in NJ. I may have to just accept defeat on this one. But then again, we never know what the future holds for us.

Natural and Organic Products

Since I’ve become obsessed with natural hair I’ve been buying tons of natural products to make my own hair creams. I bought a pound each of raw Shea, African and cocoa butter, as well as natural and essential oils. Since I’ve been making homemade hair products my hair has been much healthier and softer. I haven’t perfected anything yet, but I really like what I’ve created. I also bought a pound of African black soap to use on my hair and skin.

Organic African black soap is so awesome. It’s great for facial imperfections. I really want to try the mango African soap to make homemade shampoo. I wash my hair with my bar of African black soap, but that can be difficult at times. I think it will be so much better to make liquid soap from it. Honestly, if you have bad skin and blemishes, or you just want a natural soap, order or pick up some Organic African black soap. You won’t regret it. Make sure it’s organic though. It should resemble the picture below. It’s not actually the color black.
