The Fresh Perspective...

Is white alright?

white, cream, off-white?

Spring is close to springing and I am ready for all the bounce! Does anyone know why we are tied to fashion laws? My first guess is that it had something to do with the weather. Rainy seasons aren’t a likely pairing for pastels and linens. Sunny seasons are no place for furs and ponchos so, problem solved? Could that be it?!

fire. that is all.

In no particular order, here are some of the supposed no-nos of fashion

·      No white till after labor day

·      No white to a wedding

·      No white in the winter

·      No white unless you’re tanned/brown already

·      No white unless it’s June-August

It looks like white is the most special color.  I wonder why?  I decided this year, 2023, that I’m going to wear white whenever I feel like it.  I wore white converses a few weeks (not spring) ago and it felt great.  I mean, my outfit looked good.  I think that the fashion rules are a mild suggestion and we should do as we wish while we still have our abilities.  Long story short, I will wear white any chance I get.  Any color you hold out on till the snow melts?  Let me know, I’d love to hear your choices.  Don’t forget to subscribe!

HAIR

I did it again! Ok, not me, Niasha this time, but I have new hair! I always wear a sleep cap and use the satin pillowcase when I have fresh hair! As soon as a week passes, I’m just sleeping on all the cotton I can find. It’s like I forget that my hair needs to be covered in order to last. I can’t seem to figure out why I only cover for the first bit. As soon as I see some fuzz, I’m done! Finito! NO MORE CAPS.

sorry bout the lighting but you get it. it’s new and long and blondish…

Which are you? Diligent hair coverer, or like me, wild with the best intentions of protection? I mean, my hair IS in a protective style already right? That’s not enough?

Call 12044149023 (Winnipeg) if you want to make an appointment for single box braids (like I have) or check out our online store if you’re looking for satin pillowcases. Happy Holidays!

FITNESS

I’ve been using the Peloton app for three months now and I am VERY impressed with my results. It’s a wonderful miracle, this thing we call the human body. And it never seizes to amaze me the way that my body has showed up for me time and time again. Through numerous pregnancies and fitness challenges, she has supported me through.

should i get a bike? a peloton?

I have taken a year off running (i’ll be back in june) and I am now seriously considering getting a bike to ease up on my aging knees. The app sparked a new awareness and I think that’s all we need sometimes to jump start our health hopes.

get it!

With a new year around the corner, maybe this is a good time to start a new fitness regimen? Also, maybe not? There are so many ways to stay active and healthy and if working out isn’t for you, look into other options. Life is short.

I can finally do these!
