You get a text message from your BFF. 2 images: (1) A new backpack and (2) two new pairs of shoes – one pair, a sexy open-toed high-heeled sandals with metallic gold heels – LIT!! and the other a red hot pair of flats with an oversized bow, very Valentino-esque. You: [send  multiple fire emojis]. Wait, r you gonna sneak those into the house so ur mom won’t c them? Her: [smiling emoji with halo] Of course! Aren’t they cute tho? I just had to have them!!!

    Change is ‘Natural’: Feeling my hair fears and doing it anyway!

    September 26, 2015

    In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Change.” About a year ago I decided to stop relaxing my hair. Relaxing my hair meant going to the hair salon every  6 – 8 weeks to get my hair chemically straightened. If you’ve read my previous post Hair Story: Good Hair Takes Some Time, you’ll know that the hours spent at the hair salon, although sometimes entertaining, was oftentimes excessive. Long hours at the salon aside, what really drove me to decide it was time for a change? Well, a couple years ago, I had a bad relaxer experience that left me with some minor damage – there was a patch…

My morning started off great. Slept in a little later than usual (8am), ran some errands, did some cleaning and then the pain started. A mild pain at first and then the familiar throbbing and sensitivity to light that comes with #migraines and then the inevitable happens. You have to stop whatever it is you’re doing because the pain is unbearable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is something that you just never get used to. You can’t help but to be pissed off at the pain, at your body, at the ruining of your day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m usually a glass half-full person but when it come to migraines I’m pretty much 🤬🤬🤬🤬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you guys had a far more enjoyable end to the week! 👋🏾 Weekend brunch with a good friend is one way I practice self-care. I get to put the phone away and connect (no-phone policy is in place with the exception of a quick IG pic first🤷🏾‍♀️) But really tho there’s NOTHING like an all day brunch menu to get this girl all in a good mood 😊 Happy weekend! 👋🏾 Happy Saturday! Hope you’ve made some time for you this weekend and don’t feel guilty about it! You deserve it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have an awesome day! Happy Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go ahead and be selfish this weekend, but in a good way of course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make time to do something that’s important “to you” even if that thing is getting your nails done or saying no to that invitation because you really are tired and need a bit of downtime. Go on! I dare ya!
