Update


Hello Lovelies!
Happy Easter to you all!

Currently in London kicking it with my girl CrystalAfro
Haven't ventured out to a Easter Sunday Service unfortunately
I've been on the couch watching Friends :| but thanks to social media, I've felt like I was at church
with all the tweets, FB stats and pics on Instagram of the outfits.

I'm in a rest mode right now having been in Spain this past week.

Yes.. SPAIN!
Barcelona to be exact.
If you follow me on IG then you would have seen snaps from the trip
If you don't, go now!


I'll be sharing some pics of the trip on here soon enough.
Just wanted to update y'all!

Hope you guys have been having a great Easter Weekend!

Started From A BC Now We Here

My freshly washed hair after my Big Chop

It's been 3 years since I did my Big Chop!
Time has surely flown by.
I remember that day.. going to the Paul Mitchell School across from FIU 
Twas a rainy day, had no class so I went by myself. My friends wanted me to wait til they were done with classes but I just had to do it then and there.
I told the stylist to cut where the straight and curly met. They only asked me once if I was sure and when I confirmed, away we went to the sink to condition my hair.
Snip, snip snip!
I didn't even stay for them to shape my fro. I put on my hat and went straight to the CVS in the same plaza and bought
Huge bottle of Dr. Bronners Peppermint Liquid Castile Soap
Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner
Ecostyler Gel

Went home and did a cowash on my curls and I was in love!
I felt naked, I was always used to hair by my shoulders at least.
Took me awhile to get used to it but I never thought about going back to a relaxer.





 3 years later here I am.
For all the ladies who are just embarking on this journey, be patient and take loads of pics!
I might share some with you over the years.. Just have to comb through the pile lol.
Hope this post can be inspirational for you to keep on going!
For the ladies who have been on the ride for a minute, you know what I mean.
Enjoy =)
