I've Been Featured!

I am squealing with excitement you guys! When I woke up, I received an email of a question someone sent in to my tumblr ask box saying they saw my feature I submitted a few weeks ago to CurlyNikki. What news to wake up to! I was aware it was coming this week, I've been checking everyday like a madwoman (lol). I received a lot of positive feedback from the (currently four) comments under it. *As a tear stings the side of my eye and threatens to fall* lol!

I am nothing short of ecstatic that I was granted the chance to share a part of my life story and natural hair explorations and possibly to inspire others who are curious about going natural and finally making the decision to do the big chop. Truly a blessing from above. I believe my purpose is to inspire others and spread peace love and positivity.
If you guys haven't seen it already, here is the link.

Newly Natural

Hello all! =]
I had made the decision to stop perming and grow out my natural hair this year. Though I considered it my freshman year of college, I continued to perm my hair before returning to school after winter or summer break.
I began my transition with braids towards the end of July. My last perm was sometime between end of may/beginning of june when I came home for summer break.
When the time for another touchup came, I decided against it and had some braids installed by a friend of mine before my junior year started in August 2010. The last time putting heat to my hair was when I blowdryed my hair prior to getting it braided.
I BC'd on October 25th 2010. The rest is hair history. Its been almost 2 months now, & I LOVE it.
