Pretty sure I just completely Effed up my tax...
UGH. I’m a sucker for instant gratification and HUGE letdowns. I wanted to make a change…but I must have pushed the wrong button…because now I can’t efile. I’m already peeved that I’m not getting as much money…but NOW I’ll have to wait longer than 8 days to get my return. That is…if I don’t get audited for pushing too many buttons! ...

Protective Styling Anyone??
I think I want to get my hair braided during the last part of my transitioning phase. My original plan was to wait until at least March. I don’t know, maybe a little longer if I can stand it? I’m worried about my curly strands. I’ve put so much wear and tear on them that I’m afraid that I won’t have anything left to run my hands through after my BC! It’s...

Transitioners Diary 1/25/11: Big Chop Anxiety
I’m in my 6th (almost 7th) month of transitioning. People… IT. IS. HARD. for me. I’ve never been a hair girl. Never had to think of it. Had a stylist straighten it for me. I just unwrapped, combed, and went about my business. Now I have to put more effort, which is not necessarily a BAD thing, but just makes me feel like I’m doing my tresses more harm than good. In this...

I'm antsy to do the big chop...
…and yet, I’m terrified at the same time! I have no problem cutting little strands here and there, but get really nervous about actually doing it. What if I have chopper’s remorse? What if I hate it? What if others hate it? Why the hell does it matter what others think? <————I have these thoughts constantly lately. Sleepless nights thinking of how less...

Way to be...
I’ve just spent my entire day on YouTube watching natural hair channels and random music videos… Today was far from the productive Sunday I had originally planned.

I'm up at 5am...
Well really, I was up at 4:30am to take my mother to work. Because I’m the good daughter. The one that will sacrifice for the sake of the family. I man’d up, so to speak, and decided to stay here for a while and take care of my Mom after my Dad died. And to thank me for all my hard work…I have to wake up at 4:30 am. I don’t even work until 8am! I didn’t even know...

I'm getting Scissor Happy :)
You guys…I started snipping some of my relaxed ends today. It was completely random. I saw what looked like curly curls hiding behind my relaxed ends and wanted to see a little more. It was BEAUTIFUL. *tear* So then I snipped a little more. then a little more….until I was able to make one little twist. no excessive amounts of gel needed. just water, conditioner, and shea butter....
