You know those stories that just make you want to cry? Make you feel like you should do something substantial with your life? Live out those dreams, thoughts that you've spent countless hours thinking "what if?" I was watching 60 minutes tonight with my husband (like the old people that we are) and I was truly inspired by the story of this woman who helped to incredibly transform the lives of troubled teens in NY. What if we stopped thinking "what if" for just one moment and pursued those dreams?
That's why I love this blog. It's our what if moment realized! What if we blogged about things we loved? Black natural hair, Asian hair, fashion, beauty. Amazing. Well, here it goes. You get to walk with us as we explore the topics near and dear to us, as some that just make us smile.
My journey to having black natural hair started early in my college career. I had contemplated this decision for almost a year. At the time, it seemed like such a provocative idea, to don my natural tresses. I had spent my entire formative suburban years trying to fit in with my white counterparts, begging my mom to give me a relaxer as soon as I wad old enough. Heavily affected by the subconscious struggle towards a eurocentric standard of beauty, I longed to feel accepted. But, at some moment, something clicked. To feel truly accepted, I had to love me! Love me just the way that I was created to be. It just took a few good friends (Edith) to support me, and I was on my way to beauty! I cut off all of my hair on a glorious trip to the city, and I haven't looked back since! So, this is my chance to finally talk about the journey, the joys and struggles, the amazing products, the hair do's and dont's. I've tried so much and have so much to share. Thanks for listening to our rambles!
Best,
Ruby
