i cheated

i am a loyal person, a very loyal person. but this weekend i did the unthinkable and i have been living with guilt since....ok....here it goes....i cheated on my hair lady.....whew, that was difficult!

ok, all dramatics aside, i really do feel guilty. i have been faithfully going to ms. sherliene every two weeks for over a year. i trusted her to provide me with great hair and in return she trusted me to be a steadfast customer. despite all this trust and loyalty; however, i strayed.

her salon does not run on appointments, which is a fact i love. however, since the salon does not run on appointments, ms. sherliene frequently closes whenever she pleases. and that's what happened this weekend. i woke up early to get my touch up and she was closed. i was so upset and so desperate that i drove to the first salon i saw and got my hair done by a stylist named victor. and i loved it! i got a shea butter relaxer with accompanying treatments as well as a blowout for $50! you can't beat that. and on top of that it looked way better and youthful! victor found a way to effectively utilize both my new highlights and new bangs....i left the salon feeling like a star!

before entering the salon i had never heard of shea butter relaxers. since i have damaged hair with plenty of breakage victor explained to me that shea butter relaxers are milder and gentler than the regular lye relaxers. we all know the moisturizing benefits of shea butter so combining the gentle of shea butter with the harsh effects of a chemical relaxer definitely helps your hair out.

in two weeks when i get my wash and style i will let you know which stylist wins!

untitled

it's summer at my job and you know what that means right? Staff is dropping like flies.....

so far, 2 of my co-workers have left, with another leaving in early september. this year i promised that this year it would be my year to leave, but honestly it's not looking like that. i have had some interviews that haven't turned into much...i actually have another one this wednesday so we'll see what will happen. but i'm kinda bummed....this is suppose to be my year to shine and the only shine going on around me is the shine from my oily skin....but i'm still truckin', hustlin,' and grindin.' i will keep you all posted on what happens!

but anyhoo, i just wanted to update on what was going on.....but something that is lifting my spirits is this cute and modern trench i found at bebe.com....i'm waiting to buy this (waiting on the price to go down just a little bit or payday...whatev comes first).



this trench is only $119 and i found it at bebe.com!
