LIFE OF A GRAD STUDENT

I'm fatigued more often than I'd like to count, an insurmountable debt that steadily increases each semester and 10 weeks for a full-time workload; two classes to be exact. Oh! And a full-time career. Can anyone relate?

Thankfully, I do not have kids :)

the Start of a Beautiful Hair Journey

My sister from another mother, Merlz, introduced me to a new world & I've been hooked ever since. There's so much to talk about, I don't know where to begin, LOL. The beginning is always a nice start <3.....buckle up pearls because here we go!

It all started when I met my amazing boyfriend! I moved to away from home to attend the University where I'd realize my dream: to obtain my Bachelors of Science in Health Services Administration....BTW...Yes I Did..Your girl received her B.S in HSA..woot woot!! Now back to the story LOL.....as I would have it no one would touch my hair BUT my beautician, who was now back at home, bummer! & ladies you know, I turned directly to a girls best friend, the WEAVE (lol). I had no problems whatsoever in managing my hair. Welp! I was wrong...since my beautiful hair was tucked neatly in braids, rope twists, and sew-ins..I was doing more harm than good. However, things would definitely change sooner rather than later. Insert the most incredible day I met my baby <3....Now, pearls you know you can't be half stepping when it comes to your beau! So I knew I'd have to make a change but, I'd never imagine the good that would come out of beginning my hair journey!! Now to be clear, I did NOT, & I repeat, I did NOT begin this journey because of my papa, however, he played a big role in my decision to take matters into my own hands, After all, I was getting tired of the weave, believe it or not. So! December 2010 I visited my beautician back at home & got a perm for the first time, in a very long time and chopped most of it off in part due to damaged hair. NEW YEAR, NEW DO! Ha! I went back for a wash a week later (Jan 2011) and never went back since.

Cue in my sister from another mother Merlz :) she mention a young African-American girl name Megz *Megan* (YouTube channel: ulovemegz). Merlz spoke in awe of how Megz looked exactly like US & had beautiful LONG HEALTHY hair...now don't get me wrong, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first. However, I threw caution to the wind and said if she can do it, I CAN DO IT TOO! Hence sparking what is now my beautiful hair journey <3!! Several of my friends have flocked to me & YouTube to begin their own journey to having and maintaining their long, beautiful tresses :D

I faced all the challenges of being afraid, questioning if I was doing the right thing, self relaxing, learning how to put rollers, shedding, split end, trimming my hair myself (still struggling w that, Lol) and being GUILTY of over purchasing products I did not need. However, this journey has taught me a lot about myself. I CAN & WILL DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO ACCOMPLISH <3 My thoughts to you are: you can do it too :)

March 2012 will be a year since I've began this incredible journey & the best is yet to come.

I'm looking forward to writing and sharing my blog posts....& I hope we'll all create a bond that screams #TeamLongHairDon'tCare LOL..............BLACK GIRLS ROCK <3 & OUR HAIR DOES TOO...Let us celebrate it <3
