Convert Your Tracks Into a Custom Wig
I had quite the ordeal during the holidays with my hair. My experience reminded that reading is fundamental. I suffered from severe itchy skin because I didn’t wash the tracks before installing them as per the instructions on the tag. To see how I recovered from the itchy weave and converted the tracks into a wig watch the video.
Instead of Going Shopping Go To The Dry Cleaners
My mom would always say, “Instead of going shopping go to the cleaners!” There was a delay in my understanding of this quote. Now I think I understand it. Everyone has a bag in the trunk or the laundry that has been abandoned instead of being taken to the cleaners as planned.
I had the urge to shop last week and instead I went to the cleaners. Even at the $2.25 cleaners I still managed to rack up a 50 dollar bill.
When I retrieved my clean clothes and placed them in the closet I was excited as though it was my first time seeing these pieces. I haven’t seen some of these outfits since last summer. I was able to evaluate what was missing from my entire wardrobe. The spot in my closet that has been blank for months was finally filled in. I concluded I needed more blouses and sweaters to go under my suits.
I still ended up shopping, however, instead of an impulsive shopping excursion it was a frugal and strategic haul. Filling in the gaps, instead of making duplicate and unecessary purchases was something to be proud of.

MOVIE REVIEWS
The ratings below reflect how good the movie is for the genre it’s in. I am using a scale of 1-5. Five (5) representing excellence, three (3) okay and one (1) trash. The category legend is as follows:
(S) Superhero
(L) Love or Comedy
(ST) Story/Biopic
(A) Action/Thriller or Mystery
Uncut Gems (A) : Rating 4 - It was cool to see Adam Sandler not being silly at all. The transition music in the film was horrible, it really made me want to rip my ears out. It started to get louder an worse throughout the film. His girlfriend was EXTREMELY sexy OMG. Heart attack sexy. There so many cameo appearances. Reminds me of how rich Adam Sandler really is. The film was creative in showing our connection to material things. It was realistic in depicting how hard it is to get out of the hole once your in. It took the phrase “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” to another level.
Spies In Disguise (L) : Rating 4.3 - The movie was funny and had very adult references. There was a metrosexual vibe to both main characters, the SPY (voice Will Smith) and the kid. I didn’t want to see this movie. It was selected by Issa. He insists that I let you know that he thinks it was epic.
Jumanji The Next Level (L) : Rating 4.5- The main actors in this movie showed their range. The were several trapped in the wrong body scenes. Kevin Hart playing an old man. A Black man playing a White man, the list goes on. Although, this happened in the first one this time it stood out how complex it must have been to stay in character. Im sure it was difficult to not become confused and not laugh during every scene. The movie was entertaining and full of fight scenes.
