My Hair Journey

 I was chatting with a friend, telling her about my recent hair successes (and fails) and said that I would keep her posted on my "hair quest." It is a quest! I've been dodging wrong hair gels, fighting off weird hair serums, searching through a cave of shampoos and conditioners, looking for my treasure. The elixir. The ultimate hair routine that works for my lazy-but-bougie purposes.

So I'm going to share it all with you. No paid reviews. No TikTok-inspired glamour techniques. None of that fluff. I'm going to share my research, what I've tried, what worked and what hasn't. Mind you, this isn't the end of the road! I'm still on my hair journey--my quest if you will--to ultimately find a hair routine that meets my needs.

I'll share products that worked for me, why they worked, or why they didn't. You can choose if it works for you or if it doesn't, but at least you'll know that these reviews are real, tested, and can vouch for your own hair.

Let's kickstart this hair journey. Onwards! To my next glow.

I've spent a lot of time researching and looking for tips on experiences--I don't need the perfect remedy, but I've always wanted something that works and to learn the process of what doesn't work. Because from failures we, too, learn. Tori Morrison tells us, "if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." And that's what motivated me to take my thoughts to paper. Because if I wanted to read something like this, my hope is that someone else will want to as well. I'm in my 30's, and I've learned a lot on my path to becoming the better version of me than I was yesterday. If you share the same sentiment, you're in the right place. Maybe not all of my exper...

How I Lowered My Cortisol Levels

This topic is huge. I searched high and low for answers, actual answers , that would give me a step-by-step manual on effective steps I could do to lower my cortisol levels. I'm going to tell you exactly what I did that worked for me. And no, I'm not trying to sell you anything (although I will share the products that helped me). They may or may not work for you, so please do what resonates with  you . You know your body better than anybody else. And sometimes, we just need to listen to it. First thing is first: Identify that you have high cortisol levels. This seems like a given, but it might not be. If you suffer from high stress levels, are or were in a stressful environment for a long period of time, have interrupted sleep most nights (especially waking up at around 3 a.m.), and have some gut issues (I personally would vomit bile every few mornings), then you probably have high cortisol levels. I'm not a doctor, but this was based on my own research and what I found out...
