You get what you pay for!

You know the old saying, “you get what you pay for!” It holds true in most cases and it holds true with kinky twists as well…

20 days in and I’ve already lost 2 twists. I suppose that’s what you get when you get your hair done in someone’s basement and you only pay $85. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold on to this style. I’m gonna try for another week or two…then it’s back to Zakia. I’ll gladly pay the $185 for twists that will last more that 3 weeks.

Fabulous Fall Fashion

I went to the mall today and I am pleased and surprised to announce that I am looking forward to the fall fashion season. There were so many great pieces! I can’t wait to start shopping. I’m hoping for a mild winter here in Ohio because I’ve decided to add more skirts and dresses to rotation this year. Below are some of the items that I plan to cop (is that the right use of the slang word!?!)

I love me some me!

Today I sent mylover a text message stating that I felt good about myself today. I know seems like an odd message, but that’s how I felt. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suicidal or anything like that. It’s just that some days as I get dressed for work I don’t feel very great about myself.

However, today I did not buy into my inner voice that is usually telling me how fat I am. I did not listen to that voice that tells me I’m a failure for regaining all the weight that I fought so diligently to lose. Today I did not listen to that mean girl and it felt great!

Today I accepted me for me.

Do you have an inner mean girl? What kind of mean things does she whisper in your ear? How do you get your inner mean girl to shut the hell up?
