As much as I love my natural hair, I'm back on the "creamy crack".  After 3 years, I decided to end my natural hair journey for a very specific reason, my hair is extremely too thick and coarse to manage on a daily basis.  Call me lazy or impatient but I just can't do it.  I also never intended to become "natural".  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely enjoyed the experience, but I never stopped and said "relaxers are bad I'm not gonna relax my hair anymore."  When I was 20, I shaved the sides of my hair and when I was ready to grow it out I decided to wear wigs until it was back to a length I was comfortable with.  So it really made no sense to relax my hair.  Now when my fro was smaller and just starting to grow out, I could manage it.  But as it got longer and healthier, the thickness got out of control.  My mom suggested I get a texturizer to "soften" my kinks.  But in all reality, texturizers are extremely similar to relaxers.  So after about 6 months of going back and forth, I decided I would relax my hair again.  To some this may seem like a drastic decision, but to me it's just hair.  I've gone through plenty of different phases and styles with my hair and this is just another one.  Will I get tired of relaxing it?  Maybe. Will I wish I was natural again?  Maybe. But I don't care.  I might decide tomorrow that I want a short pixie cut.  It's just hair!  As long as my hair is healthy I can do anything I want with it and guess what?  It'll grow back.  Now this is not meant to discourage anyone on their natural hair journey.  My experiences with my hair are specific to me!  I know what my hair can and cannot withstand.  I know how my hair grows and what it takes for it to be healthy.  For some people relaxers just don't work and that's okay.  And for others they can achieve healthy relaxed hair.  You have to decide what's best for you!  Don't ever let anybody try to make you feel bad about choosing to be natural or choosing to relax your hair.  Even though I am no longer natural, I will be giving natural hair care tips and reviews as well as tips and reviews for those with relaxed hair.  If you guys have any questions or comments, email me or leave it in the comment section.  And follow me on Instagram, to see more pics of my current hair and my natural hair.

Sad news!  Recently I noticed that I'm getting stretch marks on the sides of my boobies (I guess they're finally shrinking...praise God!).  So before they get out of hand, I decided to try Bio Oil.  I've heard great things about this product, especially from women who have had stretch marks while being pregnant.  It's also really good for scars and uneven skin tone.  So like I said I will be using it to take care of the stretch marks on my boobs, and also my butt, and  a couple other randoms scars (like burning myself with a black and mild *blank stare*.  It says to use for a minimum of 3 months before noticing results *side eye* but I will be doing a review at the first sign of change.  I bought mine at Walmart for $11.99 I think.  I've also seen it at a couple local beauty supply stores, and also online.  Like I said I will do a review once I start seeing results.  If you're having the same problems as I am, I definitely recommend it based on the great things I've heard about it.

I fell in love again (LOL) and these I absolutely have to have!! Like I seriously have to!  Another designer collaboration, this one between Pony and DKNY.  I've never really been a fan of Pony footwear, it's not really my style and not really my era.  But thanks to my cousin and dad, I used to kill DKNY when I was younger (looking for throwback pics right now).  So I have to get my hands on a pair before it's too late.  And for $225 you can cop a pair too.  Check them out here

This is something that I never ever expected, but it's coming (in November) whether we like it or not.  There are very mixed feelings about this collaboration and I understand why.  On one hand you have people (celebs, hypebeasts, scammers, etc.) who spend thousands of dollars to rock Balmain.  So I guess I can understand why they're upset that soon others will be able to say they own Balmain without paying the same amount of money.  But honestly, who gives a f*ck?!?! Not everyone is rich or scamming or hellbent on living above their means.  There's so many things I could say to people who rock designer anything but ride public transportation every day, but that's their prerogative.  I'm not spending $2,000 on anything if I don't have triple that amount in my savings account, but that's just me.  And I've never really been overly excited about any of the H&M collaborations.  However, to those who are don't let the haters discourage you, you work hard for your money, and you deserve to wear it just as much as anybody else!
