It also help to maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints. There are tons more benefits of exercise. Exercise doesn't have to make you ripped, it should be enough to keep your heart rate high for 20-30 mins per day or even more. Find activities that interest you such as walking for 30 mins on lunch break. Go swimming on the weekends, jogging ...Exercise should be all about taking care of your body. If you are not taking care of your body, you will pay heavily for it. Don't make excuses for not being able to find time to exercise. 

Americans on a whole is not getting enough exercise. We all need to make exercising a lifestyle, not something you do sporadically. Taking care of your body while you are young will pay off when you are in your older age. 

  

Sleek bun

I flat ironed my natural hair. It has been 5 days and it is still looking great. I don't use any gels or promade because I do not want to way my hair down. I use argan oil every few days to moisturize. I don't even wrap it at night. I just leave it in a bun and refix it in the morning. The bun is a store bought hair doughnut.

Color Natural Hair!!!!!!!!

I used the Clairol Natural Instinct in black to color my hair. Paid $6.99 at walmart. It is a temporary hair color, which perfect for type 4 kinky hair. The box said it last 28 shampoos. I don't believe natural hair should be permanent color because it will most likely lead to hair damage, especially if it is a lighter color than the hair that's being colored. Permanent color deposit color to the inner layer of the hair. 

Before color

                                                                   During Color
 This color relaxed my curls for the most part. It made my hair look like 4a hair. I know i have 4b cottony hair, with 4a in the nape. I didn't experience any breakage. My hair felt strong and moisturized during and after the process.
(TIP) apply the color with long sleeve and put vaseline around hairline and ears because the dye will dye your skin.
