How to get out of a creative funk.      

This has been a difficult month for me.  I am not one to smile when I am going through issues in my life. This month taught me a lot of valuable lessons that I will never forget.  Wearing my heart on my sleeve is my greatest challenge.

It was hard for me to make the choice of whether to carry out all of my endeavors or to just take a break for a while.  I had to make myself snap out of it and find inspiration in many other ways.  I found myself in different locations and talking to new people.  Although I have experienced great sadness and some regrets, it helped me to move on and make some major decisions on how I will move forward.

The only person that you can change is yourself.  You can also remove yourself from any negative situations.  This is essential to healing your heart and your spirit.  My work is important to me and it keeps me going.  This year I want to express myself more in photos and continuing my product reviews.  Blogging makes me happy and it is my way of escaping.

How To Get Out Of A Creative Funk        

• Talk to some other people to find out what inspires them to go on.
• Go out in nature and admire the beauty that is readily available. This can help you to get those creative juices flowing.
• Do something different. Go somewhere and have lunch or dinner at a new place where you can meet some new friends who are creative like you are.  Take some new online courses; that is what I have been doing and it was very affordable.
• Evaluate yourself and be determined that you will put yourself first in life and your career.
• If you are lonely, get yourself a pet because I think that they bring out the best in people.
• Close the door to negative people who really don't care anything about you.
• Walk freely with your head held high and refuse to let people manipulate you.
• Wear bright colors because they make you feel more happy and optimistic.

SashaMoniqueTalks Product Review: Hollywood Beauty Argan Conditioner

This post may contain affiliate links which I may receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

Hello everyone, I am reviewing the Hollywood Beauty Argan Conditioner.  This hair conditioner has been around for quite some time.  I saw it the other day at Walmart and decided to pick some up.
Lately, I have been gravitating towards products that I have used in the past and I know that they work well.

The Hollywood Beauty Argan Conditioner has a slightly fruity smell and it makes my hair soft.  My hair is still natural and I wash and condition it twice a week.  Have to keep that hair healthy under those wigs!

This hair conditioner is enriched with Argan Oil from Morocco. Argan oil is really good for keeping your hair moisturized and it keeps my hair from breaking off.

This bottle has 12 FL ounces.  I am really thinking about wearing my natural hair in natural buns and twist for Spring and Summer. This is a fantastic way to protect your hair from damage!

I didn't pay much for this bottle  and I was so glad to know that Walmart carries this product.  I will definitely be revisiting some of the other products made by this line.  If you have tried this conditioner please leave a comment in the comment section because I would like to know what you think about this product.

The danger of being on Social Media.

When I began my journey in social media I had so much fun getting to know new people.  Finding new friends was quite easy because you are able to find friends who are very similar to you.  Many times I would rush home to get online to see who was doing what and also to get the latest gossip.

Social Media provided a way to de-stress.  After going through so many disappointments, my life now consists of people who are very encouraging and friendly.  Social Media gave me the tools to grow in my personal life and bought new opportunities to be creative and professional opportunities as well.

So, I told you about some of the good things about Social Media, now on to the bad.  Social Media can be an uncertain place.  A place of anxiety because of some negative comments or creepy people wanting to see or know your every move.  We have so many people who watch us on platforms such as YouTube and some other sites and they start to have an obsession with you and your life.

I have seen this so many times and I have experienced it.  Do you think that it is safe to post all of your pictures, videos and other personal things that are going on in your life?  Of course not!  We have unknowingly opened the door for the "boogie man" to come through and find out about things that will put us at risk.

You have to be careful about posting live videos and posting pictures of where you are because there is always someone watching.  Be sure to post after the events are over.  Do not tell everyone on Face book where you are going or your personal family business.  Never post anything regarding your kid's school or anything that would put them at risk.

I do not think that I will ever do a meet and greet because it opens up the door for someone who is mentally unstable to have contact with me.  Keep yourself safe at all times.  Keep cameras on the inside and outside of your home.  Wear a personal alarm system and get one for your children.

Make sure to get a home alarm system.  They do not cost that much these days.  Take notice if you see any suspicious activity online and around your home.  Check out your surroundings at stores and at the mall.  Do you see the same person showing up at different places?  Or unusual visitors coming to your house uninvited?   Document any and all threats that you get online and contact the police.

Put your family first!
