I’d definitely recommend living on your own even for just a short time at least once. Especially for young women, it’s unmatched! You learn a lot about yourself as a person. As an introvert, my homebody tendencies have amplified, but I’m also dope at making adulting friends😜
you're so productive, consistent, and hardworking. I really find you extremely inspiring because of that--because those traits are really rare. I'm proud of you Octavia.
Many black women, I'm one of them that can not tolerate perms long term. They are too harsh for our hair. I get silk press for special occasions, usually once a month, the other time I do a old fashion very flattering two French braid. That shows my face . Black woman are BEAUTIFUL
Girl yes, my entire life was protective styles, relaxer, hair eventually break off, repeat. Now I’m just natural and I do the occasional silk press. No more hair breakage.
Hi Octavia...try Amla oil once a week , you will see the difference in around 2 weeks or so...your hair will grow so much faster and is very softening and adds shine as well.
I love your short hair. You inspired me to go back to my short pixie cut. Too much on my plate right now, so one less thing to worry about. Hope you feel better 🤗
This was a great video octavia.. hi Renea. So glad you are still hang out with Renee. Your hair looks good either way. Thanks for posting stay blessed Octavia.
Not the blue calling your name 🤣🤣🤣 Thing is we all know what you're talking about 😩 The blue shirt we used to call them popcorn shirts in St. Kitts back in the early 2000s when they were in. I can remember me,my sister and our girl crew had all dressed alike and did a good ole studio photoshoot. Memories! Lol
As a member of the shorthair/ nohair tribe I suggest making close friends with some pretty hats. I live in NYC also and my tiny bean can’t take the cold temperatures. The cut looks great on you, I hope you keep it short 💜
Hah tell me about it! Luckily the weather hasn’t been very brutal but now it’s getting there so I had to suit up. I might go back to my long hair honestly - my hair needs to be out away for a bit
Definitely recommend living on your own as well. I'm now married living with my husband and am so grateful for the time we spent living apart, coming into our own, and learning adulting skills without relying on anyone. Did you buy a house?
Cow(calf/veal)liver and onions is the best to improve iron deficiency…Have it 1-2 times a week…In addition to your iron supplement…Your numbers should improve significantly by your next blood draw….😊
I defiantly recommend living alone even if it's a short period of time! I just recently moved back home and am happy I did have that time living alone. I'm currently looking to save up and buy a house and I am happy I was able to find my sense of self.
Yeah that’s the plan - I won’t be relaxing for a while but when my relaxed hair is attached to my curly roots the hair tends to break so I wanted to cut off the relaxed ends.
When I saw that it was windy I’m like I hope the wig nuh blow off so when you said it I was dying. Everyone talking about these cargo pants I need to visit Zara.
Perfection, as always. Love your videos.. for me it is relaxing, inspiring, however I am much older than you.. Where is the bag form, pls? I am obsessed with...could you share the link, pls?🤩
Yes! Ask Renee about the TH-cam! (No pressure 😂). Hope y’all do another closet clean out because that was funny! Definitely enjoy when y’all get together.
Octavia you are just like me when it comes to hair 😂 thank the Lord for wigs! If my hair doesn't go my way I just think 'It will grow back' I'm currently growing my hair out so I can have my dream hairstyle for my wedding and the way it's looking I just want to cut it off again 🙈
@OctaviaB Well, of course you know I watch ALL your uploads more than once, so when I got in from the gym, I tuned into the vlog on my television and guess what? I HAVE AUDIO 🥰
Hey sis no you don't need to stop cutting your own hair I wear my hair the same way and have been cutting my own for at least ten years its our hair and head and we know it best and most times it turns out better than the salon maybe once every six months to year I will go to the salon to get it even all over or touched up you know what I mean you always look beautiful👍
I'm 39 and been living on my own since 22 and still loving it. Consistent peace & zero drama...perfect!
💪💪I have been living on my own since 23 and I am turning 60 years at the end of the year, it the best present one can give to himself or herself. ❤
I’d definitely recommend living on your own even for just a short time at least once. Especially for young women, it’s unmatched! You learn a lot about yourself as a person. As an introvert, my homebody tendencies have amplified, but I’m also dope at making adulting friends😜
That’s great! And agreed
👌🏾👌🏾💯
I love living alone, it's addictive. That short hair is definitely your look, it's like the shorter it is the more beautiful you look 💕
Thanks for the feedback ❤️
I agree…the short hair is very fitting. Just beautiful!

Thanks for the tip!❤️
Yes very nice oil but my self see smell bad
The blue cargo pants are my fav
Love the blue
I love the headband wig. Where is it from?
I love your short hair. You inspired me to go back to my short pixie cut. Too much on my plate right now, so one less thing to worry about. Hope you feel better 🤗
I'm so glad! I cut my hair also during a time that I just needed a break and couldn’t be bothered
This was a great video octavia.. hi Renea. So glad you are still hang out with Renee. Your hair looks good either way. Thanks for posting stay blessed Octavia.
Thank you so much! I always will be hanging with her ❤
Hello again Octavia, loved the cooking segments. I hope you’re feeling much better. Have a wonderful week! ❤
Thank you! You too!
The headband wig looks really nice on you. Can you share where its from?
Unice hair

Oh wow! I need to Google the popcorn shirt thing because a lot have said it was a trend from back in the day
Can definitely see a difference in your skin. It's literally glowing! And, Renea looking sideways at your wig when you mentioned your headache... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That top from Zara I what my mom use to wear in early 2000😮 is her fashion era coming back again
I just love this hair on you. So elegant.
Thank you so much!
Yes for the cargo pants. I hope you’re feeling better. 🥰🙏🏾🤩

Hahahahs I wasn’t even being harsh - A true. Mi need to fix up mi self
@@OctaviaB 😂
The jamaican come out enuh
@Yanique Wilson Yes sah lol
Definitely recommend living on your own as well. I'm now married living with my husband and am so grateful for the time we spent living apart, coming into our own, and learning adulting skills without relying on anyone. Did you buy a house?
Agreed agreed
Hi Octavia. What size cargo pants did you get? I am trying to order some and use you as a reference. Thank you.
4 size
@@OctaviaB OK. Thank you responding.
Hey lovely! There is no audio on this video.😊
Do you mind checking again because on my end it’s fine 😪
@@OctaviaB Okay it's all good now. ❤
Hi Octavia if you don't mind me asking where is your house at that you have to fly? Is it in a different state and what state is it in ?
Yup
Cow(calf/veal)liver and onions is the best to improve iron deficiency…Have it 1-2 times a week…In addition to your iron supplement…Your numbers should improve significantly by your next blood draw….😊
I love calves liver. Unfortunately, my grocery store has been out for months but it’s usually what I take to improve my Iron
Even your phone case is blue. So cute
Omg yeah! It’s taking over my life
@@OctaviaB I see it’s too cute
Aw, laser shouldn't hurt...I've heard that about Laser Away. Switch over to SEV Laser and let them do your maintenance sessions.
I definitely will! It hurts too much for sure
48:01 where is that concealer brush from?
That Bag is everything. Enjoy

The cargo pants look really nice on you
Oh thank you!
Loved this vid sis❤️ maybe you already answered this but where is the headband wig from🙈
Hey hun! It’s from unice hair
Hey Octavia, where is your headbandwig from?
Hi Octavia. What lip liner are you wearing?
Re the hair, why not try growing it out naturally for a few months, then give it a perm. That works for some people.❤
Yeah that’s the plan - I won’t be relaxing for a while but when my relaxed hair is attached to my curly roots the hair tends to break so I wanted to cut off the relaxed ends.
@@OctaviaB yes that tends to happen. Best of wishes❤
Thanks for the vlog beautiful girl feel better!!
Thank you!!
I just did my skin care for the night. I’m obsessed with the Dr. Dennis daily Peel pads.
Omg these are a game changer ❤️
@@OctaviaB I agree Sis I agree.
@@OctaviaB I only buy them during the Sephora sale. I get the large box
When I saw that it was windy I’m like I hope the wig nuh blow off so when you said it I was dying. Everyone talking about these cargo pants I need to visit Zara.

Can you do a video trying refy beauty products I think you would like them and I don’t see any black women trying the products. Love your videos ❤
I was just thinking about this the other day funny enough, and was considering purchasing, but could not find a video with black women trying
@@OctaviaB yes I knowwww. I would love to see you review we have similar makeup styles so I trust your input
I want to grow up and be like you. A house and apt so adore you. YOU BETTER GO!! ❤❤❤
I think living by yourself teaches you alot about life and yourself 💕💖❤
Oh lord I’m so glad I just had my dinner.
We are wearing the same nail color ☺
Hey hun amande is pronounced ‘amand’ rather than amanday. It means almond in French. You can listen to the pronunciation if you google it ❤️
Yes thank you
What were you lasering?
Brazilian and underarms
@@OctaviaB thanks cool
Feel better queen
There's no sound love 🥺
Not sure why because I can hear the sound on my end

i actually like the really short hair on you. and living alone is great. I went from home to alone and next i’ll go with my man lol
The prices at Zara is why I rarely walk out with anything. Their quality has declined significantly over the years.

Exactly. I’m so confused.
Here for the support!! Keep them coming😊
How you mean no dumpling in the soup😮
Not good poison oh lord take care of our Octavia!!
