So I haven’t had a perm since August of 2009(Going natural),
which was also the last time I ate meat. Hasn’t been that long, but I am very
proud of myself for not succumbing to the luring smell of fried chicken. I’ve
been stronger than my own expectations, I just knew I was going to give in,
especially because of the holidays, you know Thanksgiving and all? But I haven't, Yayy me. The food is
good though, fried tofu is my fav! J Anywho, SO I never
thought it would be harder going natural, than becoming a veggie. I just don’t
know what to do with my hair, I’ve made a decision to just get weaves, and
braids and things like that, but I don’t really like weave, and braids?...eh. I
want to cut it also, but I don’t think I’d look right with short hair…ugh I.
Just. Don’t. Know! I think I just might give in to a perm. The only thing that’s motivating me right now is that I
could tell how the pattern of my waves will be once my natural hair is all
grown out, and I love it!
Which brings me to this; BLACK PEOPLE! 7 out of 10 of us naturally have the type of hair that we all dream to have. The hair that can curl when wet, and be straight when blow dryed, the hair that we spend hundreds on to buy...Anywho with that said, when or if you have a daughter, do not perm her hair at the age of 5(mother!), or any age before the age of 15. Let them make their own decision, because most likely they will love their long thick curly locks when they get older. I think my next blog should be about this. BTW check out my step-moms blog @

The outcome of my transitions:
I lost 15 unwanted LBS!
Im so very proud of you Day Day, not only for your weight loss but for becoming a Vegetarian and deciding to grow out your natural hair. I'm also a Vegetarian, I don't know how long its been cuz I wasnt keeping count, seems like forever though lol. Do you eat fish though, or just tofu?
