I made 2 wigs....allow me to explain.

Youtube has a significant natural hair community of women who have several ideas on protective hairstyles to well protect their hair. My hair is very kinky and yes I have tried a few techniques, even products from watching a few of the females who are well known. Hence how I learned to make a wig.

And I did. I made 2 wigs one short the other long and curly. I'm planning on wearing either one of these once I decide to take a break from my curly hairstyle called crochet braids, which held up pretty well. Next time I'm hoping to develop a routine for maintaining the style longer.

This one even comes with a closure.

I've struggled enormously with what I would like my blog to be  about and then I asked myself why did I even attempt to start my own blog separate from previous one’s I've contributed to?

Productive boredom.

This post will be my way of committing to post until I guess I figure out the "preference" of the blog I would like. But right now an undefined blog is an adventure I am more than willing to embrace.

With that said I would like to share and start with my New Year's Resolution of sorts.

Simplicity! I believe a resolution is an idea that should start immediately or planned in a way you can begin as soon as possible; it’s not just for the beginning of the year.

Procrastination is so deadly I try my best to figure out a better and faster way to do everything from transportation to my routine at my job every day. And when I'm late or something doesn't go right I think back on what could have been done differently? How can I improve? This is so much more positive than wondering why I had made that dumb decision. Or what's wrong with me? 

I've learned focusing on the negative is not the answer. I need to just find a solution.

So in the spirit of practicing simplicity I would love to share my experiments for the simple lifestyle I have begun but have not fully implemented which I don't mind because I am still learning. What matters is I started. Please check below and tell me what you think.


First Experimental idea: Since I did not have this type of container, above, a few weeks ago to steam my favorite Shu Mai dumplings from my local Japanese Store around the corner from my job my co-worker (who's not really my co-worker but since she's the sweetest for visiting the office when she can she is definitely the unofficial employee who needs to start getting a check for how often we see her! She's awesome!) told me about; I had to figure this out.

I created this baby http://instagram.com/p/ff0VnbG4WA/ with the idea of a pot steamer.


Nothing was going to get in the way of my Shu Mai dumplings for lunch.
