We're two weeks into the new year. How are those # We're two weeks into the new year. How are those #newyearsresolutions going? Did you make a list or even better, make a #visionboard? 

Back in 2017, I shared how I made my #visionboard. I enjoyed the process and loved the outcome. If you're looking for ideas or inspiration on how to make one yourself, check out the full post here https://www.thevimbayidiaries.com/make-vision-board/
#naturalhairupdate ‼ Few weeks ago I got a #silk #naturalhairupdate ‼ Few weeks ago I got a #silkpress and a much needed trim. My last trim had been way back in december 2019 🙈. 

Trims get rid of split ends and make your hair so much easier to manage. 

Are you struggling to comb through or style your #naturalhair ? When was the last time you got a trim? That might be just what you need.

This year I plan to check in with my stylist every 3 months or so to get a trim (if I need it). What are your hair goals for 2021?

When I first made these #sausagerolls, I had the #bakersinn sausage rolls in mind 😋. It's a simple #recipe, using store-bought frozen #puffpastry, ground pork and my favorite combination of warm spices.

Hi everyone! I hope you all staying safe out there Hi everyone! I hope you all staying safe out there. Here in Texas, we are under a #stayathome order till May 15. Not sure what will happen next but definitely hoping for the best.

It's been a little over a year since I did the #bigchop and so far I'm enjoying this little journey I'm on ( for the most part 😏) There's a certain type of freedom that comes when you wear your natural crown (at least for me). I'm happy to finally post an #naturalhair update and the products I'm currently using. Looking forward to sharing more 😁. #naturalhair

Anyone else buy extra bananas just to be able to m Anyone else buy extra bananas just to be able to make some #bananabread? 🙋‍♀️I love #bananabread. It’s a big hit at my house and it’s super quick and easy because everything gets mixed up in just one bowl.

My #recipe has #nodairy at all which is a big plus if you're lactose intolerant or just trying to stick to a no dairy diet.

Throw in some chopped nzungu (peanuts) for some crunchy goodness 😋. You'll need, 
3 overripe bananas
3 eggs at room temperature
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
½ tsp. salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1 cup chopped peanuts ( or more 😜) 1. Preheat oven to 325F/165C. 
2. Mash all 3 bananas in a large bowl. 
3. Break the eggs into the bowl. Add the sugar and vegetable oil and vanilla essence. Whisk everything together well.
4. Add the flour, salt, peanuts and baking powder. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined.
5. Pour the batter into a loaf pan greased or lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 60 – 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Let the banana bread cool for about 20 min. Dig in.
