Transitioner's Thoughts

Hey everyone! Remember when I thought I had that free week to catch up on blogging....WELL! Boy was I wrong!! That week ended up being crazier than the week before. Then last week was my official Midterm week and I had Fall Break. I went home to visit my family. I love my family to death but that five hour drive can be tiresome at times. I did get to do alot of shopping with my mom though. I missed those times considering I hadn't been home in about two months. When we get together, we can do damage in a mall... ESPECIALLY during a purse sale... fashion is my weakness!! On my way back to school, the weather was HORRIBLE!! We had tornado warnings throughout the state, which meant plenty of rain and high winds that sent my truck on a bumpy five hour drive. Glory be to God because I made it back safely.

Sooo what do you all think?

Ok, now to talk about the topic of the day: TRANSITIONING!! I took my braids down after two months of wear and tear and have been trying the transitioning look... it's alot harder to deal with than I thought! I haven't had a relaxer since the end of May (almost 5 months) and the two textures are weird. I also see why people say fire your beautician because my beautician from home colored my hair, which turned out gorgeous as usual but I asked her to 2-strand twist it... which turned out as a disaster so I immediately went home and tried different things to do with it. I'm on day 6 and I'm starting to second guess my decision. I really feel like a crack addict or something because I constantly have battles with myself over getting a perm or not. I feel like I'm weak to the creamy crack! I keep telling myself to hang in there and be strong but GEEEEESH it's hard. I also think back to the days when I was experimenting and learning how to do permed hair and how great I felt after I understood how my hair worked. I keep saying to myself, "If you could get through that, you can definitely get through this." I think tonight I'm going to wash it and blow it out...I'm not sure yet... I don't want to flat iron it because I don't want to mess up my growing curl pattern or put too much heat on it besides maybe blow drying it. Does anybody have any tips or helpful advice to survive this period?

I was trying to show off my earrings here lol! I love these!!
