micro management

so i came into work today prepared to actually do work, but everyone seems to be taking over...so f*** it...



to clarify, i work in a micro managed office. directors and supervisors neglect their own jobs and get in my kool aid. for example, let's say my student emails my director. rather than forward the email to me, director will respond to the email, cc me on the email, then email me stating that she responded to the email. wtf? even fellow admissions counselors are getting in on the fun. in an email, which included the other counselors, director asked me to be the point person for an assignment. but another counselor took it upon herself to do the task without even letting me know...so whatev....if they wanna do extra shit then let them do extra shit...their salary ain't gonna be increased (please excuse my profane language...i try not to cuss, but this shit is going to another level).

so anyway, work is the pits so in situations like this i like to work on self-improvement; my own personal betterment! my sister teases me and says that my blog should now be a hair and fitness blog because that's all i talk about!

remember when i was through with the salons? well, i'm still through and have been managing my hair myself and let me say...it ain't bad. i do my own relaxers, washes, everything...it's all me!



and i have noticed a difference! though gaining length wasn't my initial goal, i have noticed some length as well as stronger hair. my secret is deep conditioner. i do it every time i wash...it's time consuming but it's worth it...my hair is no longer see through!


as far as fitness goes...i have been slacking lately. because of work and writing essays and other stuff i haven't had much time for the gym, but this month i'm focused to get back on track!



i am planning several summer getaways so that means getting the body right! so i'm back to lunchtime AND after work sweat sessions. kinda extreme, i know.

another thing that keeps my spirits up when work is KILLING me is music. let me tell you, the song "Blame it" by Jamie Foxx and T-Pain is my morning drive wake up song.



i can't be unhappy when this song comes even if i tried....sometimes i just have to close my office door and booty pop for a mood boost.so take a listen and let me know what you think!

hair drama

remember how i said i decided on a new hair guy?

well, i lied :(

well, i thought he would be my guy, but the last time i went to the salon i was grossed out....it's filthy. i can't stand dirty salons! i mean, why would you want to go to a salon like that?

so now i'm stuck. i know what you're thinking....just suck it up and do your own hair, but it's not that easy. when i was younger my parents would just drop me and my sis off at the salon every 2 weeks just to get it washed! in college, i was forced to do my own hair and honestly, it wasn't that bad and i kinda got good at it...actually, my hair in college was more fierce than it is now...ironic, huh? but i was dealing with my hair when it was in it's natural state....so i could be straight one day, then curly one day (ugh! why did i get a relaxer?)

anyway, i recently when to the ulta salon for a simple wash in style (i was traveling and my hair was a mess) and let me tell you....those people are bananas and overpriced!

so, i've decided to learn how to do my hair (i was thinking about going natural again, but i'm convinced that my hair HATES me because of all the changes i put it through so i'm waiting a year before i make anymore impulsive hair decisions). i'm going to learn to 1) wash it 2)condition it 3)style it





wish me luck (and advice if you have any)

stay fab!
