I know some of you are familiar with the fashion retailer Nasty Gal.  You may have also heard of the owner/founder Sophia Amoruso.  Now I love Nasty Gal (hate their prices sometimes!), but I didn't know much about it's beginnings until now.  I came across this book on Instagram, researched it, and found so many people saying so many great things about it.  The reason I call it the bible is because it's so amazingly motivational and inspirational.  Sophia Amoruso started this company in 2006 as an eBay vintage seller.  Before that she was a college dropout who bounced from job to job and even had a "career" as a shoplifter and dumpster diver.  In her book, she talks about her awkward beginnings, her millions of bad decisions that shaped her and motivated her to start Nasty Gal.  And that's exactly what she does in this book she motivates you to grab hold of your life and pursue whatever it is that makes you happy.  She encourages you to be strong through trials and obstacles.  What I loved most was that she is super real and honest about where she comes from and the type of person she is.  She's outspoken and weird and introverted, but she gets shit done.  And that 's what this books will make you wanna do after you read it.

I don't wanna give everything away but seriously read this book!  If you're struggling with your career or life goals, this book will motivate you.  I definitely helped me in ways I didn't expect.  It made me want to take a good look at what I'm doing in life, what I want to do in the future, and the steps that it's going to take to get there.  It made me want to take full control of my life and be a #GIRLBOSS

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.
