Good morning
I just woke up and put some multipurpose cream on my face. Lately i've been really into beauty products and brands like Shea Moisture for it's african black soap, and Tonymoly for it's camellia oil and citrus blends, and Alaffia for it's baobab & coconut oil.
The current butter on my face is by Alaffia. It is supposed to be like a multipurpose cream. I buy most creams and to be honest my current obssession is with buying and trying new creams. I really loved the Tatcha Water Cream but honestly it's grossly overpriced and I can't justify that no matter how pretty the bottle is. I've come to discover a new brand called TonyMoly and they have amazing products. I am eyeing their Black Tea skincare products because I received a free sample when I visited the new store in Alhambra. They were really nice and I'm always planning on going back. They are better priced as a korean product than Tatcha water cream which is $68 for 50 ml compared to TonyMoly's The Black Tea London Classic Cream at $47 for 60 ml. With the Black Tea London classic cream- you get an amazing product and for a better price.
Anyways i'm rambling but i just wanted to check in with you journal and tell you that you're the best and that I love you. :)

Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve
Today we drove 3 hours total so we could road trip and visit the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. It was so windy that it gave me a headache, a type that i never had before. Like a ghost was standing right next to me with two fingers pressed deep into my ears. And also I saw a few weird things like a door swinging in the wind even though i came up and closed it. It was a beautiful, serene, and creepy. I'm glad to have experienced it because it was the windiest day of my life! I felt like I might have been blown away by the wind at the crest of the valley at one point. Anyways, we really noticed that some people are really poor and seem to live off grid have a certain type of "look". Kind of like hillbillies. With messed up teeth and the like. I would fit right in with my grill hahaha. Anyways here are some pictures because I decided to add more color to my blog spot.

Tuesday
Today I am really happy because my day started off right. The nice older lady that works at Noodle Cafe gave me a free cafe sua da on my way out. :) She also complimented me by calling me "nguoi dep" (Pretty Person). It pleases me so much to hear compliments as a girl/woman, especially from another girl/woman. I realize we can influence others so much with a positive demeanor but most importantly kind words to tranform someones day. In other words, her compliments gave me life lol. I don't know what it is but as a woman sometimes you doubt yourself. Affirmation feels good.
It's been awhile so I want to update you on as much as I can. I've been having a strong urge to book an appointment with this new hairstylist by my house (MP), but honestly i've been really loving my full long hair. I realize that even trimming it for 2-3 inches would lose my favorite asset as of lately. I think it almost touches my butt when i sit to use to toilet, DEFINITELY a sign off too long hair LOL.
Recently, I was at my parent's house to bring my dad home from the airport and I weighed myself at 104 on the digital scale. That makes me really happy because at my heaviest I was 130 pounds, but at my lowest I was about 98 pounds (naturally by going vegan). My goal weight is 110-115. I would be happy as long as i'm fit and there's some muscle there. All the fat and cholestoral dissapated and I lost so much weight going meatless!
Anyway i'm not very happy in my relationship right now. Like, i'm still that sensitive person that cries when she thinks about being left or deserted or abandoned. Sometimes I realize that I cry every day and I know it's just something that's a part of me. The crying comes from sadness and feelings of loss and not wanting to experience loss. I guess it's just normal after all that's happened to me in my life.
I'm exited because we are going to go to the Antelope Poppy Reserve soon. Me and Marv1n also recently went on a trip to Joshua Tree National Park! It was really beautiful being in the desert. A fresh escape into the heat and history of California.
I'm really thinking into starting to update more, and to also include pictures. That would be rad- even if nobody is reading this. I deleted my instagram 2 months ago and it feels awesome tbh. Not much going on there but my paranoia of who is looking at my pictures lol. It shouldn't be that way. Anyways, it feels good to re acquaint with you again journal- you know my feelings and I enjoy reflecting, looking back, and reading you. I missed you so much. Love, Tammyy.

Today is the first day
Today is the first day that I wore a hijab. Also it is the first day that I posted a picture on my Instagram. I had a lot of nervousness of what my friends and family would think, but so far, I've had a lot of amazing feedback and encouragement from my friends. Wallahi, what a relief. I'm really encouraged now to just go all out because deep down, I know that it's what I have to do.
Anyways, work has been so good. I'm really happy because ever since the light of Islam touched my heart, I have been making sure to spend time in sujood and offer my 5 daily prayers. I know I am not making the proper salat, but my duas I try to be so sincere and honest. Why do people pretend to not be sinners? we all sin, why do we make so light of it and try to cover it up? Anyway just some thoughts.
Today is Vietnamese (Chinese ) New Years Eve! Tet! I'm going to try to clean my house as much as possible. I'v always been so keen on that! I already started my day with fajr, then 45 minutes of yoga, then I just got ready and changed to take pictures, even though it was only a selfie from the neck up. Man I need to get myself a professional photographer, lmao. Anyway- I feel like I've updated enough; Alhumdulilah for everything.
