The very first post will be devoted to a large photographic project on the metaphoric value of Shea Butter. Everyone will get to see my mental break down of this pathway. Maybe this will make it easy to steal my idea but I do want a revolution in everything that I do, so that's fine.
Skin Test:
Not so much a test but more of a compassion to be used with other products in a rather entertaining way. I will attempt to cover a wide range of taste so there will be something for everyone.
On the horizon
Another on going project that will be added in between my Shea Butter project is my dark melanin project that involves the darker side of the spectrum.
How it started
I found some Shea Butter in my house, it was likely my sisters bowl. I normally have perfect skin. I normally don't need lotion at all. Even during the winter, after a hot shower, using body wash or a bar of soap my skin is perfectly moisturized. It has been decades since I was even remotely ashy. I will use this Shea Butter to see if there is any difference.
The biggest part will be my hair. I can't say I take care of it as I should. It's usually very dry and always in an Afro. I do pick it out often but I really need to keep it from breaking and tangling as well.
About this blog
This blog will cover the beauty of photography and the inner workings of making them beauty. the next series serve as a purpose as to how models or anyone could better take care of their bodies for shoots and generally for health reasons.
This came up to me while seeing that Shea Butter in my house I always wondered how could someone use such a thick substance, but I am aware of its vast benefits. Being a photographer I noticed the variation of moisturizers that are used, I never noticed Shea Butter being used. I would love to check out the effects on me as well as my models. I will research a mixture as well as buy a variety of brands if my funds hold up.
All of this to stay busy even though I am unemployed with 2-3 student loans attempting to close everything down. I would be happy if there are any donations to help keep the doors open while I try to reach for a better life.
