6/13 Edited to

... Read moreI used to avoid trimming my split ends at all costs because I thought it would damage the length and fullness of my hair. However, after embracing the big chop, I learned that cutting off damaged ends is actually the first step toward healthier, stronger hair growth. Taking the plunge into a baldbaddie style was both liberating and empowering. It challenged my perception of beauty and gave me a fresh sense of confidence. Transitioning into a femalewaver look was another exciting chapter in my hair journey. The waves added texture and movement, making styling easier and more versatile. What I found most rewarding was how these hair transformations became a form of self-expression and self-love. I encourage others hesitant about making bold hair changes to try it out—it might just change how you see yourself and boost your confidence in unexpected ways.

Day 9 - Prayer over the Mind
It came to this, today’s challenge was timely. See, Me being every woman and everything—sometimes, it’s all in me (PMS/PMDD symptoms). Though there is validity most times to the reasons why I get upset and bothered—internally it reaches a level of intensity that’s hard to come back down from.
