Natural hair journey. Rediscovering my natural beauty.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Last year i did a big chop! Yes...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Since then i have been going natural, as you can see in the photo (my hair looking so loco!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHocLjIpQKgHZbaFXXz0MyxCI57r7abPCHjreKJCb3DjtZkg79vR23s9o5Wsu9ja_3FO2MicZ8DfCelxwaH7ju_x_xxxEYbl8GM78ozaNKEQ1XzEG1b3vaqkXwg1kJopKc3d_t18Ks0sL2/s1600/20170325_155949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHocLjIpQKgHZbaFXXz0MyxCI57r7abPCHjreKJCb3DjtZkg79vR23s9o5Wsu9ja_3FO2MicZ8DfCelxwaH7ju_x_xxxEYbl8GM78ozaNKEQ1XzEG1b3vaqkXwg1kJopKc3d_t18Ks0sL2/s320/20170325_155949.jpg" width="240" />Well this is the length of my hair unbraided but when i washmy hair it tends to shrinks even further like drastically.</a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Am not the type of person to spend hours in my hair, fixing and putting together unless of course its for an occasion or special outing (you know a lady got to look the part ).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wash and go...are quick and simple! (No blow drying). You probably would like to know what i used in my wash and go..right? I thought so.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wash and go list:<br />
Shampoo<br />
Conditioner<br />
Coconut oil (100%)<br />
Shea butter leave-in conditioner (smell so good)<br />
Styling gel/products (if needed)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
As simple as that you don't need tonnes of product for your hair.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
For styling i have tried Eco styler but to a very limited use it makes my hair dry and crunchy (can't deal with that sorry!)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I don't know if that's because of my hair type or texture but i know my texture is coarse and hair type is definitely 4C (wavy roots, kinky, coily and frizzy ) yes i know all kinds of madness!.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am trying to grow back the sides as they were shaved, nevermind the back i keep looking forward.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
So i came across this article <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39195836">bbc.co.uk</a> very interesting, i guess afro is now becoming more prominent, so am proudly rocking mine. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Shout out to the natural hair beauties.<br />
Rock what you mama gave you! </div>

<p dir="ltr"><b>So i have been in and out of many jobs mainly because after a while i am not interested , i have problems getting my pay or the correct amount of pay or i dont feel happy around the people i am working with/for or i have moved to another location.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>I for one hate the whole process of finding a new job but desperate measures calls for desperate action.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Although with modern technology applying for jobs is so much easier nowadays. Simply upload CV and cover letter , however some companies do prefer application forms which is a little time consuming but it shows that you really want the job because you took the time to fill it out properly.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>These websites tend to be popular for job hunting </b><b><a href="http://indeed.co.uk">indeed.co.uk</a></b><b> and </b><b><a href="http://reed.co.uk">reed.co.uk</a></b><b> also prospects.co.uk and graduatejobs.co.uk</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>I do think my perfect job will arrive in good time, one which i will love doing and just because i need to work or raise funds.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Keep searching, seek and you shall fine! For now i'll keep juggling on.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Army training coming up soon. If you are interested in the British Army check out </b><b><a href="http://army.mod.uk">army.mod.uk</a></b><b> to join or search roles. </b>Watch out for updates!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Welcome back to another chapter in my life.<br>
Yesterday i had my PGCE PCE interview. That was quiet nerve racking for me but who doesn't get nerveous for any form of interrogation  (unless your overly confident). </p>
<p dir="ltr">It was a nice lovely sunny weather throughtout day, as my interview was in the evening i had all day to prepare myself. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The interview consisted of 10mins presentation, 20mins questioning and 20mins free writing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Heading for my interview their was traffic, a motorcycle crash and then all of a sudden haystones or ice falling from the sky. I mean this can't be good, the place was cold and to top it off i have the cold. So i was breathing and talking all through my mouth as my nose was blocked! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Surely i must have sounded like a frog!😂😂 but i did my best and i pray it is good enough to get me a place. Above all i never gave in and i never cancelled.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Never let a bad day put you off from reaching your <u>targets</u>, keep focus and stay bless 👍<br>
Guess all i can do now is wait ⏳</p>

<p dir="ltr">After withholding my application for the AR for almost a year i finally did my pre-interview. It went better than i expected (informal if you like)</p>
<p dir="ltr">So my role hopefully will be HR specialist (Adjutant Corps SPS) then transfer into education . i am now looking forward to pre-training. Working on my running and fitness before actual selection. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I can only hope for the best and be the best!</p>
<p dir="ltr">What experience do you have of the Army?<br>

Hi again</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
They say experiences open your eyes! This i have experienced working with disabled person.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
A gifted person is one who has a uniqueness about them. These persons am talking may have one or more disability or it might just be a special talent. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It is just surprising how people who aren't disabled cringe at people with disability. It is not good when you are being discriminated against just because you are different from the 'norm'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
That i have experienced by other people working with gifted children. You can see people staring, whispering and the bad looks, its not nice at all. Just imagine yourself in that persons shoe how would you feel if you were in their situation? I love working with different people regardless of their culture, background or whether they have a disability.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Sometimes people should mine their own business, give people the equal opportunity to enjoy their life just like you can in a fair way.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
They don't need the discrimination and criticism, they have no control over their illnesses, if they did they wouldn't be the way they are.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The moral here is to love one another...<br />
Blessing x<br />

<p dir="ltr">What a beautiful day it is in the Uk. The sun is out, school is out (Easter break) and the flowers are cheerful. That can only mean one thing, yes its spring time. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Today i have been given a new least of life to start over again. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Continuing from last blog my feedback was rather disappointing about the lesson i had taught (i didnt think it was as bad as i thought). So yes i was made to to feel discouraged but as it is my passion i will see it as constuctive criticism and build on it. That is the way forward. Is there a personality that is fit for a teacher? How would you discribe such personality?</p>
<p dir="ltr">But all did not went bad that day i received a phone call for a new job opportunity and today i had the interview and looking to start immediately. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So all did not go wrong sometimes things are just a learning curve ....learn from your disappointments, your wrong doing and the good thing in <u>life</u>. Be reflective and take one step further.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Be postive and have a nice day!.<br>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This is my first blog post. I want everyone to feel welcome and comment if you like. I will respond to as much comments or messages.<br />
<br />
lets start off with a little about the 'I' that is myself. So as you should know by now my name is Shani. I live in the West Midland, England. I am a Healthcare Assistant by profession, however my career aim is to become an English Teacher. I wanted to start blogging because I would like to express the way I feel, to share my experience and to build new friendship with people all over the World as i am a keen traveller.<br />
<br />
I will try my hardest to post atleast one blog per week as i am new to all this, then gradually build up.<br />
This week has been a busy week for me and i am run down literally speaking.<br />
So basically I always wanted to join the Army since I was 19 year's old and i thought its either i do it now or never. So on Tuesday i went for the Army open evening and i really liked what the Army Reserve has to offer, so in May (next month) I will be doing my pre-training before the actual selection to know a bit more about what Army life is like and i will update you guys on how that goes.<br />
<br />
As i said earlier i am a busy person but try to keep to a schedule. i know that can be hard at times because i do get carried away sometimes and go off track....at the end of the day we are human!<br />
<br />
Today I have been to church and it was a wonderful service (haven't been in a long while) so i made the effort today to be with my God and now i am at ease...can i get a Amen!!!<br />
<br />
as the weeks goes along i will let you guys know what's happening. if you have taken the time out to read this blog ...God bless you and your family.<br />
<br />
Love always xxxshani's journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15185334469020067980noreply@blogger.com0
