KRIS ADD ME TO THE CONTEST PLEASE!   LADIES TELL WHAT KIND OF MAKEOVERS WOULD YOU ALL DO & HOW YOU CAN HELP OTHER WOMEN LIKE OURSELVES
& HOW YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY TO ACHIEVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME????

Whenever i've encountered a setback or disappointment a Phrase runs through my HEAD continuously. "How  can you expect success if you don't learn from your mistakes?"  that is a downer so my mind goes to the well known cliche:  "INSANITY is defined as when you do the same thing over and over and over again - expecting a DIFFERENT outcome".  So this year i had to really look within myself.. MY struggles with weight loss for over three decades starting at age 15.  Why i know it is genetics  & not my self esteem.

 looking at my co-workers who eat alot - some of whom don't exercise and remain the same weight or close to the same weight year after year.  Yet some women have to work out or they dramatically gain.  I've accepted that some of us are meant to be different and i've got to finally take a dramatic chance to finally say i've exhausted every single angle of loosing weight. 

  FINALLY IT'S hurting my MORTALITY.  i'm so at risk right now. i feel the pulling and tearing of my joints, the difficulty in moving around.  the blood pressure and sugar diabetes, and heart disease.  why quit smoking if i'm going to add a risk factor like weight?   I quit cigarettes three years ago, i don't do drugs, i knit, crochet, sew, take classes for sewing, & jewelry making in the fall. 

 (i'm going to have orthoscopic knee surgery this year as well)

DO MY OWN MAKEOVER.   DIFFERENT THAN I'VE EVER DONE IT BEFORE SO THE OUTCOME IS DIFFERENT.  FROM HAIR TO NAILS TO FEET TO THE BODY ALL DIFFERENT

1- Weight loss surgery - because if it don't work then i' know i've tried.
1(a) different work outs - yoga - belly dance, hoola hoop i've tried but my knee damage is acute. (i wont' give up)
2-Skin treatments instead of plastic surgery i.e.,  chemical skin peels designed for our skin done by a doctor specializing in Black skin care hello!  Skin laser now they are designed to be safe for darker skins  -  to get rid of scars & smooth the stretch marks also there are good Estheticians out there you have to do your homework!  Ladies take advantage of the new technologies if they arent' too expensive.

NOW IF ANY OF YOU SISTERS KNOW OF ANY PROVEN SKIN TREATMENTS THAT YOU HAVE WITNESSED NOT SECOND HAND IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY USED  AND/ OR  ANY TREATMENTS ON THE BODY FOR SHAPE LET ME KNOW.

2(a) I am a Hair's Talent customer - now i'm doing JAPANESE THERMALS
the following: didn't work for me after spending thousands of dollars over many years:  BRAIDS, WEAVES, RELAXERS. (AGAIN doing something completely different to get a different outcome).
2(b) I REALLY LOVE THE JAPANESE THERMAL.  LONGER HAIR - LOW MAINTENANCE.
2(c) CALGEL ON THE NAILS calgel is a breathable gel only a few salons do, it's a rubberized gel. it lasts about 2 weeks and it grows the nails is used on natural nails and can be soaked off.  also it's expensive i found a contact (can't tell the rest). right now i'm training my nails with silk wraps and powder when they are longer i will start the calgel.
3-Arasys & Arasys Perfector:   it's a machine i saw on youtube & other places it's in two parts one does the face -- the other does the body.  it sends radio frequencies to muscles and works them without  lactic acid & soreness. used on people with Multiple Sclerosis, it was invented by one of the founders of the pacemaker it's not too pricey. 
4- Laser vaginal rejuvenation - i want to correct Stress incontinence as well as improve the tone of the most precious area. If i have to compete i want to have it done it makes me a standout.
