#170: You're never too young

I came across this scripture and the message really resonated to me because I can testify to it, and it's also the headline for this blog.

"Don't let anyone look down upon you because you are young, but be an example for believers in speech, conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity" - 1 Timothy 4:12

#165: Shxt Natural Hair Girls Say

Soaked in shampoo

Straightened with hot styling comb

Unstraightened hair

I came across this video on one of my friend's facebook page and I thought it was hilarious. I've seen many "Shxt ... Say" videos, but I must admit this is the best one I've seen, I think it's probably because I can relate to it the most such as "my arm is tired," I say that ALL the time!!! Watch and enjoy!

#164: Face like cake

Since I'm reviewing pictures on my camera and working on deleting some (which I'm challenged in), I came across some pictures I took two months ago for a performance. Beware that the make-up is intense but hey that's the beauty of performance, one gets to create dramatic looks for the illusion of the audience. Personally, I won't go anywhere with a face like this but I liked its playfulness for a performance. One of my dance partners did my make-up, since I'm make-up illiterate and my mom wasn't there to help me out. ENJOY!
