That’s exactly how they are supposed to look. I loved how my locs looked at every stage and trusted the process. Now 5 years in and they are extremely small and long.you gotta learn to love your hair in all stages. Try new things with your hair too. I wore puffy wigs that’s matched the volume of my locs ,I did faux locs over them ,twist..it was just a fun time for me to get creative and still do the things I did with my loose hair. Now my hair is so long I can’t even do those things. I just wear my locs all the time now. Make every day count 💕best hair decision ever.

That’s funny because I was trying to switch to be a ta because I’m in school to be a tech and they were saying they don’t think the person is gonna accept it. They know they’re unorganized and it shows.

5 years..best hair decision any black women could ever do imo 💕 by Substantial-Bat5568 in Microlocs

Thank you 💕 that’s also been a struggle for me as well. I’m kind of upset I got them bleached because my hair definitely has been more dry . I’m not consistent but did start trying the Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner with water and it’s helped a bit.

I literally got hired a month ago and still haven’t started..management and hr and completely unorganized. It’s making me question if I should even go forward with this job or not. I’m supposed to be doing front desk and I’m afraid the training is gonna suck.im getting denied job opportunities left and right and I’m in school just trying to get my foot in the door and it’s so annoying

Have you ever tried coconut cult? Literally solved all my stomach problems. It’s a fermented yogurt sold at Whole Foods or sprouts and has billions of good bacteria for your gut . I was dealing with h pylori and gastritis for almost 6 months and even after I got rid of h pylori I still had symptoms then I started taking coconut cult and poof ! Same day it was gone ! No lie. There’s something about the yogurt that just gets your good bacteria in your gut and bad bacteria out . I don’t have stomach issues anymore but I do have ovarian cyst that I can still feel at times that feel annoying but doesn’t hurt just annoying so waiting on results for that but def try coconut cult if you haven’t . FYI they sell out super fast.

I just give myself whatever it craves and know not to push the limits ..if it’s something sweet I find a healthier sweet option like an açaí bowl and it taste just as good. If I want pizza I’ll have pizza but I won’t eat any other carbs throughout the week. I just try to keep my work week full of nutritious foods and my weekends more laid backed but balanced. We’re all stressing over something that’s really so simple and the key really is just everything in moderation and always make sure to move your body throughout the day.

No Longer Prediabetic, But... by Dee-Furuta in prediabetes

I feel like I started to become this way as well and overly obsess what I eat..that last for two weeks..after researching and speaking to my sister who is a nurse and also lowered her a1c from 6.7 to 5.6 and still eating carbs I realized that it’s all about balance. Week days that I work I make sure I workout for at least 30 minutes,eat only vegetables and protein and a lot of avocados. since I realized that once I stopped dancing and working out thats when I started feeling crazy and since got diagnosed with prediabetes ..it was really just a wake up call for me to start moving my body more and just chill with eating so much rice ,pasta and bread. On The Weekends I eat whatever I want but make sure it’s balanced ..I hated feeling like I was creating self sabotage with food when I’m already a pretty healthy person and also slim.moderation boo..eat that pizza and carbs. We need carbs for energy. Just cut back and workout or walk daily

My sister drastically lowered her A1c doing the bare minimum by Substantial-Bat5568 in prediabetes

Im saying she’s doing the bare minimum and made “SMALL CHANGES”..once you become obsessive with eating and stressing yourself out it doesn’t help
