Last February in #Belize, on Caye Caulker. Everything was so serene and quiet, perfectly calm. Island hopping at its best. I came across this home while wandering the vacant streets. The perfect shot. #photography #travel #tbt #caye #cayecaulker #islandlife #blue #traveling #photooftheday #instagood #instalove #instamood #nofilter

What are the 3 best accessories/tools for curly hair?
A plain white tee.
Why? Because 100% cotton shirts won’t snag your hair strands like terry cloth towels will. Traditional towels can tangle curls and cause frizz. Towels are designed to absorb as much water as possible, stripping curly hair of much needed moisture. Instead, gently “blot” hair with plain cotton tee (cut down the middle), and then style as usual.
A scrunchie.
Why? Because they won’t leave kinks in your curls! Rubber bands, hair bands, and hair ties can snag, pull out strands and pull too tightly on the hair. Ever notice the several strands of hair that come out when a hair band is removed? This can lead to split ends, hair loss and stress on the curls. Instead, opt for a thick scrunchie that will place minimal pressure, and keep your curls intact! Just… Try not to wear them out of the house! Curly hair should be worn down as much as possible.
A “cleansing conditioner”.
Why? Curly hair needs moisture. The endless routine of shampooing and conditioning is also an endless routine of stripping the hair and replenishing it. The best action is not to strip it in the first place! A cleansing conditioner will both clean and condition your hair while keeping moisture intact. It also cuts down the clutter in your shower! Always a bonus. I personally use Wen.

It’s true that I had hoped that he would call or write, but when he didn’t I understood. I had found a friend, but even more so I had rediscovered a part of me that I had thought gone. My year prior to that summer had been a difficult one, and had taken its toll. I often wondered if I could survive another like it. Sometimes the beauty of life isn’t carried within us. Sometimes we have to cross an ocean to find it, and when we do, we may find that it comes in the silliest of forms: such as an Adidas glow ball.
