Sunday Fun-day When its raining outside: An Introverts happy time to be alone

So a lot of people don’t know this but umm…I’m in introvert. An outgoing introvert but an introvert nonetheless.  Girl what the hell is that? I’m sure your scratching your head like, “what did she just type?” Well, just know that you read it correctly. Us Outgoing Introverts are a rare breed of Introvert Clan who actually like going out, hanging out with people, meeting new friends but we also need moments of reclusivity in silence to recharge so we can be outgoing and friendly like our extrovert counterparts again. Seems like an oxymoron I know but its true. I have introverted friends whom I don’t see or hear from for weeks who prefer to be alone while I don’t like being to myself for very long periods of time without feeling isolated.

It’s funny, I can be the friendliest, happiest, most smiling person you will ever meet and at the same time ignore your texts and phone calls for days because I’m mentally exhausted from being so…outgoing. Makes sense?

So, today in Toronto, Canada it is a grey, rainy, wet day and I am inside happy with a HASK Coconut Oil Hair mask on, wearing a charcoal face mask, typing this post up, wondering if I should go to the grocery store now (after I wash this stuff off my face) or later when there aren’t that many people shopping so I can shop with no line up at the cash (goes along with me not wanting to really be around people right now). I been in this, “I just want to be to myself phase for the past week” which is rare for me but it happens from time to time. I’m ignoring text messages, not returning phone calls and watching notifications pop up on my phone without the slightest urge to open or reply to them. That’s not my usual self but for now this is what it is and to be honest I like it. I need this time to myself and I won’t fight it because everyone’s expectations of me prior are that I answer calls, texts etc. Not happening. I feel like I need some me time and I’m excited at the idea of possibly soaking my feet in a salt bath, or curling up with a good book for the day…whatever it is but doing it by myself.

And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. The world can wait. Taking care of self is super important so you aren’t trying to pour into others (or being expected to pour into others) from an empty cup.

Are there other Introverts like myself who are outgoing – love to go out, meet new people, be around others, do exciting things – but find themselves needing that space to themselves to re-charge for days on end? What do you do to reconnect to yourself and boost your mental energy? Comment below and let me know you’re thoughts!

Ciao! Till Next Time!

Wig Wednesday – Who says you gotta dye your hair to be blonde?

Whats up Beautiful People my name is Diana aka xxbonzexx and I am coming to you today with another Style Inspiration post. Today’s topic is about Going Blonde (do they really have more fun?) where I ask the question, do I have to dye my natural hair to be one? Now if like me, you’ve been on the fence about dying your and are looking for a fun and easy alternative to being apart of the Blonde Bombshell Club this blog post is for you!

I’ve been blonde for about 5 years straight starting from 2010 to 2015 before I decided to take a 3 year break and go back to my natural color – brown. I figured change was good but when I was ready to get back into the saddle a year into it and be blonde again my loving hairdressers were super against it which caused some of the most epic hair battles (and negotiation sessions) I’ve had to date. They just didn’t think my hair was ready to be blonde again and needed more time to grow, be healthy and just most of all…rest. So it got me thinking…what are my alternatives?

Weaves?

Downside about weaves is you have to blend it with your hair texture which can be tricky. If your hair texture is kinky it can be problematic to blend it in with the weave which may cause you to straighten it too much or add excessive product which can cause build up or clogged scalp follicles. Then there is the method to secure the weave. If you are sewing it or clipping it in can also add certain strains on your own natural hair in the form of tension while you are wearing it which if you are not experienced in maintenance can cause hair loss.

So whats the alternative?

Wigs!

Now before you go turning your nose up at the thought of wearing a wig hear me out. Wigs have come a heck of a long way since our grandmas wore them to church on a Sunday morning. No! Wigs are less detectable (clockable for those familiar with slang terms), they give you the freedom of taking it off at night if you’d like or securing it with water-soluble glue for a hold that lasts up to a week or gel freeze “glue” (extra strong hold hair gel that can be purchased at Walmart) for a temporary 2-3 day hold.

If the idea of using glue is unnerving then you can explore the alternative that wigs nowadays come with combs already pre-sewn inside and many come with an elastic band in addition to the combs (elastic band is presewn in the wig) which will make the wig lay super flat and keep it secured on your head (I suggest using the wig combs that come in the wig along with the elastic band). For an immovable hold you can invest in a headband called a “Wig Grip” (sold on amazon) which provides such a secure hold that it would take God’s hand himself to come down out of heaven and snatch it off your head (no seriously I’m not even joking) for that wig to move.

Check out some Blond Wig Styles below. Now bear in mind alot of these models are Black but it goes to show that even if your skin is darker you can wear different shades of blonde and still look good.

 

Comment your thoughts below. Can you wear blonde? Would you explore wearing a wig? Suond off in the comments section!

Tip next time beautiful people!

Manscaping: To Shave or let it grow wild….

Hi everyone.

I find chest hair on men very unattractive. I’m not sure why but I think it’s gross. A sexy chest is a man who is hairless. I thought about this today for a bit and I came to the conclusion that I I’m not a fan of hairy men. I think a well groomed man includes clean clothes, a good hair cut, a bare chest and a well landscaped crotch. I think that if men want us to be trimmed or bare they too should do the same for us. Visually a shaved crotch looks more appealing and for the fella’s it makes their stuff look bigger and longer. Just as  many men want a bare vagina when he is going down and in some cases demands it, the same coutesy should be extended to us when he desires a little head. Besides, who wants to pull hairs out of their mouth or try to hack it up out of their throat? It’s a mood killer stopping to pick it all out.

Also, a man who doesn’t landscape, the hair can actually irritate and cause friction on the inner thigh and vaginal mounds. Those are just my thoughts. I fancy no hair or a well trimmed area. Check out this diagream and tell me which one catches your fancy.

 

 

 

 

 

Tell me what you think.

Talk to you all later 🙂
