My Big Chop... freedom!

So, I decided to stop relaxing my hair in March. Since then I have been dealing with two textures and on Sunday I final said enough is enough. I went from shoulder length hair... to this.

It's very liberating! lmao! This is the third time I've chopped my hair off but each time I revert back to the creamy crack (relaxer). This time HAS to be the last. If you research the foolishness that many women of color put on their scalps every 6-8 weeks, you'd be sick. This chemical causes more detriment to our hair then good and I refuse to continue doing it. Please know for those who do relax I'm not downing you, more power to you, I just can't do it anymore.

1'st Anniversary of Michael Jackson's death

I will love and miss this man for the rest on my life. He was a constant in my life and it is still hard to believe that he is no longer here. I am thankful everyday for the gift he was to my life. R.I.P. Mike. Still loving, respecting, and thanking you.

Corporate America... ewwwww!

So, I need multiple forms of income. Right now I am a Consultant for Clinique, which is fine and dandy, however, I don't have enough hours since they already have four fulltimers. Sooooo, the hunt for more work continues. Here are some facts about me.

1. I am a college grad with an english degree.
2. I'm a writer, dancer, actor, model, makeup artist, and photographer.

So, my resume is based on all of these things, which is sooooo not Corporate America friendly. Then again, I myself am not Corporate America friendly. The idea of sitting behind a desk for 9 hours kissing peoples asses is not my idea of a happy job. I don't believe in having a job you hate just to make money. This is startling to some people. I've got people trying to find me "traditional jobs" like crazy but that just isn't me. Yes I could have stable work, nice check, benefits and everything, but if I don't have that creativity that i've grown up with... well lets just say it won't be pretty. I've got to live my life and do me!

I'm in the process of getting things going so watch out world!

I want to enjoy what I do, so I can enjoy my life!

Phylicia Rashad: An Amazing Performer

Most people know Phylicia Rashad as Claire Huxtable on the Cosby Show. However, before and after the historic show, Ms. Phylicia was and will always be a triple threat!

Simplicity

Simplicity is something I try to base my life on. Drama and stress causes me to be physically ill, so I try to keep it out of my world. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that there are going to be moments of stress and drama. Sadly that can't be eliminated fully, but I want as much of it gone from me. Unfortunately, the situation I am in equals stress and drama. It's easy to see in the pieces I have been writing lately. I might post some on here sometime... maybe. I'm trying to keep my world bright, airy, and free. I like the concept "act as if". I think that is the only way I'm going to get through this.
