3 Week Review of my Empire Bundles Colombian Wavy Extenstions

For the last 3 weeks, I have been rocking my gorgeous Colombian Wavy extensions from Empire Bundles. It has been a really good experience so far. There are 5 things that help me determine the quality of hair extensions. This hair is the the first hair that I've tried that has passed all of my tests with flying colors!

The Shed Test (100%)

I hear of so many women complaining about their extensions shedding. I understand how this can be a huge issue. I have actually worn extensions before that shed so badly, to the point where hair started turning up in mysterious places. (The shower, Eliana's toys, the kitchen cabinet, my underwear drawer, ect...) LOL. I can confidently say that these extensions don't shed at all. I was pleasantly relieved.

The Maintenance Test (100%)

A very important thing to me when it comes to hair is how often I have to comb or brush it throughout the day. If I have to spend the same amount of time maintaining my extensions, as I spend on maintaining my natural hair, then the extensions are not worth it to me.These extensions require little to no maintenance throughout the day, which is a major plus for me.

The Humidity Test (100%)

Living in Miami really takes a toll on my hair on most days, which is why I would prefer to wear extensions. It is pretty "interesting" when I am trying to run around to castings, and by the time I get to my first casting, I look like a frizzy mess. lol.The last thing that I need is for my extensions to be effected by the humidity as well. That would make wearing extensions completely pointless. These extensions don't frizz up on me. The way that I leave the house is pretty much the way that I can count on looking for the entire day. 

The Blend Test (100%)

It is verrrrrrrrrry important for any extensions that I put in my hair to look like just that: like an extension of my natural hair. My curl pattern is not really that tight, but it is not straight either. I need for the hair to blend perfectly, because I don't like full head sew ins. This hair blended perfectly with my hair, which I was extremely happy about. 

The Wash Test (100%)

Last but not least, I washed my hair 2 days ago, and it turned out beautifully. Of course, It does not feel as silky as it did when I first had it installed, but it still feels pretty amazing. On top of the fact that my drain was not clogged with hair when I was done. 

All in all, this hair is pretty amazing. I would recommend it to all of you ladies. Use my promo code: AzureeEmpire to get 5% off of your entire purchase.

Are you energetically responsible?

2016 has already been a year full of lessons for me. I took a break from my blog while learning one of the most important ones. Many people don't know the importance of being energetically responsible. I can tell you from my own experience that it is extremely important. It is very easy to remain in a positive space when things are going well.....but what about when they are not going so well?

 Recently, my husband was involved in a car accident. He is okay, but the situation was a bit discouraging for me for a few reasons. Because of the situation, and the events following the situation, I felt that I needed an escape. So what did I do? I started binge watching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix. Bad choice.

It is no exaggeration when I tell you that the show gave me trust issues, and made me feel even worse than I felt to begin with. lol. It's funny, but it isn't. If you've seen the show, then I'm sure that you will understand why.

It was only a matter of time before I was ready to trade in everything that I was passionate about, for a regular 9-5 job. It was pretty bad. It wasn't until I found myself getting upset about things that I normally would not even give a second thought, that I realized that something was wrong. I was not being energetically responsible....at all.

Before things became shaky for me, I was starting my days with meditation and inspirational videos, followed by my daily trips to the gym. When things became shaky, I completely stopped all of those things. I only did what I had to do. I was carrying negative energy to my important meetings and castings. I just could not wait to return home and get lost in Pretty Little Liars.

What we fail to realize is that energy is everything. Energy rules our universe. Where attention goes, energy flows. When you give energy to negativity, then it is inevitable that you will attract even more negativity into your world. Energy is in everything, from the things we watch, to the things that we listen to, all of the way down to the people that we choose to associate ourselves with. A simple phone call from a person has the power to turn our entire day around. This is how powerful energy is. You have the power to turn your world around by giving your energy to positive things. Once I went back to my normal daily routine, I noticed the instant change in my life. We have to take responsibility for the events that occur in our lives by only entertaining positivity. This is called being energetically responsible.

What's Your Motivation?

I listen to a lot of people talk, and it's crazy, but I hear so many people define their reasoning behind wanting to be successful as  "the need to prove people wrong". In a generation motivated by "haters" it is not very hard to see why many of us don't get to where we are trying to go. 

As I've stated in a previous post, the universe focuses on our intentions more so than our actual actions. Anything motivated by negativity will only yield a negative outcome. This is why it is important to make sure that we are doing things for the right reasons. 

We can use parenting as an example. If you strive to be a good parent, it should be because you want the best for your children....not because you don't want to make the same mistakes that your parents did. If your intention is negative, then your result will be negative. You will simply attract the exact outcome that you are saying that you don't want. This is why it is important to focus on what you do want, rather than what you don't want. Anything that you place emphasis on, the universe will bring into your life, be it good or bad. Energy goes where attention flows. 

Another example is when we want to be successful in our career endeavors. I'm sure that everyone wants to achieve all of their goals...but everyone does not have the same motivations. Have you ever heard the phrase, "success is the best revenge"? That's cool and all, but why are you motivated by revenge? You're motivated by negativity, which in turn, will bring even more negativity your way. 

It's important to be motivated by all of the right things. When we are motivated by positivity, we will attract even more positivity. +++++++++

Days by the pool....

One of the things that I love about being in Miami is the fact that I can lay out by the pool all year. There is nothing like endless summer days...they provide me with so much inspiration. Everyday is a vacation for me. What are some inspiring things about the places that you guys live in?

Eating Habits

I get asked a lot of questions regarding my diet all of the time. Some people assume that I'm vegan. Some people are surprised that I even eat at all. So I will break it all down for you:

No, I'm not vegan, I'm just s very picky eater. 

I'm not really big on labeling things, but I am pretty picky about what I eat. I would have a vegan diet if I weren't so obsessed with seafood. Lol. But since I won't be giving that up anytime soon, I'm going to have to be ok with not being vegan. 

I never really get offended anymore when people ask me if I eat enough, simply because everyone who truly knows me, knows that I eat more than most people combined. No I don't make food choices based on my career. If I had to starve myself in order to look the way that I do, I would not be a model. I love food way too much. 

I'm just very particular about what I put into my body. So when you see me eating vegan cookies, it's only because they are my favorite. Oh...and I think that animal milk is disgusting, so I'd prefer cookies that aren't made with it. I hope this answers a lot of your questions. ️

Social Media Bullies

Good morning beautiful people!

I've been requested to do a blog entry on my feelings regarding how I deal with social media bullies. I don't have any feelings towards them at all, because I don't believe that I am bullied on social media. 

Firstly, a bully is defined as a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. If you are on a person's page, saying anything negative, then it is obvious that you are the weaker individual, so that eliminates that aspect of it. Secondly, I will never be intimidated by a person's negative opinion of me. It simply doesn't work that way. 

I see crazy things written on my page all of the time. You guys would be shocked at the amount of people who don't get blocked on a daily basis. People even go on my page and talk about me like I'm not even there. Lol. They say things about my weight, about how my butt is fake (which is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read, being that I'm a size 2). They talk about how I'm never with my child, and the list goes on. The way that I deal with them is that I simply don't. Energy goes where attention flows, so I just choose not to pay them any attention..or I'll laugh about it with my friends...and it's been working out for me so far. :)
