I did NOT want to do this

There are things from long ago that we all do differently & even better than before.

( 💡if you see this, please follow me @Ruby 🌹 )

💅🏾Like the first pic of the nail set was done in 2021, the second was done this month....

👉🏾👈🏾 I was so afraid to push myself (& I knew I could) that only I hindered my own GROWTH 📈

Being who I am 🌹, I have been destined all my life to not live in the same cycle 🔄: if it's not beneficial it has to change!! & as always I MAKE CHANGE!

💪🏾Pushed to her full potential, a woman will become powerful, strong, wise & success🙌🏾

sn: I'm so glad I re-did this nail set because I just HAD to redeem myself 🤗

... Read morePersonal growth often begins with stepping outside of comfort zones. It's critical to understand that discomfort is a natural part of embracing change. Whether it's a new style or changing habits, pushing yourself leads to greater self-awareness and resilience. For instance, in the beauty industry, nail art is a reflection of creativity and personal expression. Redoing a nail set not only symbolizes redemption but also encourages innovation and growth. This journey towards self-improvement can be paralleled with the concept of embracing vulnerability. Facing uncomfortable situations head-on fosters a growth mindset. Sharing these experiences can inspire others. By communicating our struggles and triumphs, we create a community that supports each other in personal endeavors. Real talk: it's okay to feel uncomfortable; it's how we grow and transform that truly matters. So turn those fears into stepping stones, and remember, each small victory counts toward your larger goals!

YOU DONT NEED IT YOU WANT IT!
I speak on this because I was there! I use to step out of God’s will to get the things I thought I wanted and I did it in the way I saw other people doing it. People seemed to always get everything they wanted but the way we chase these things do anything but honor God or people. God is Jehovah Jir

want LONG hair like this?
I shaved my head when i was 16. By the time i was 20, my hair was touching my waist! Here’s how i did it:) ⬇️ 1. Reducing/eliminating heat ~The biggest reason i shaved my head was because of heat damage. Once i stared my hair growth journey again, i knew i needed to cut heat out of my routine.
