WHO I BE!

Namaste,

My life has taken a turn for the exciting, so much so i think i need to share it with anyone whose willing to read about it! I'll post all sorts of interesting things but right now my main focuses are Hair, India and getting healthy!

I'm a young black woman of less than fifty on my college campus and one of four naturals. I'm pretty darn proud of my coily little kinks and wear them proudly  among the crowds of blonde and brown straight hair. I've been natural for almost four years, but the first three years I really neglected my hair and put heat on it every day (I know not very smart) so last November I did another BC and started over again. Been trying to grow healthy tresses ever since! I hope to share my natural journey with everyone else!

I've never been outside of the country, but it’s always been a major dream of mine. I not only want to travel to those fancy shmancy European spots like France and Italy, I want to go someplace I will be forced to experience a culture shock. As a student of Anthropology I love learning about different cultures and peoples. Well finally my lifelong dream is coming true. I was selected to study in India this summer! I am super SUPER excited .But before May I have LOTS to do to get prepared for my trip!

One of those things is getting into better health. During my interview for India, I was told that the trip would be really strenuous and tiring. I was thinking to myself then-It's hot, lots of walking and as a BIG GIRL it might be a bit of a struggle. I decided that this was a good  time to get to a healthy size. I'm a 200+ lb 5'7 girl when I'm supposed to be 158 at the most. SO! I'm going to set  my goal for 170 by my trip and while I’m their hopefully  I'll lose the rest! I'm going to try to update every week and sometimes in between! 

Whew...I think that’s enough of an introduction!
