Does that even make any sense? Let me explain. I'm talking about my hair and how I'm ditching chemical altering on strands. I'm in the process of just letting majority of my hair be low maintained, but I still straighten certain areas weekly, which sadly enough is causing damage to my partial 6-month post BC (big chop). Partial BC I say because, a hairstylist begged to relax my edges and a smidgen section of my sides... I gave in once again, I should have just said now again. It's a fight to remain natural and happy when theres people opposing of it. </p>Now to the <strong>unknown </strong>that I want to be properly in a relationship with: my curls. I think in July/August, I want to ditch all extensions and see how I'd look without having long hair. Will the way people see me now see me differently? Will I still feel feminine? I'm so curious and excited to face the newly short-haired Kinky-curly natural me.Sarah Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698831281026634440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105115384082234365.post-57412819964120499552011-03-28T00:47:00.000-07:002011-03-28T00:55:34.271-07:00Being called beautiful<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2RO_3CKm8UQ/TZA-7tqXJCI/AAAAAAAAAkY/i16u6ifoLMU/s1600/love4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2RO_3CKm8UQ/TZA-7tqXJCI/AAAAAAAAAkY/i16u6ifoLMU/s400/love4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589036333157262370" border="0" /></a><br />For some reason this past year I've been called beautiful or sexy, so much more than I ever have before in my younger years.... It's crazy. I have the worst confidence sometimes, and then someone out of no where will call me 'beautiful', and I just don't know how to take it, I'm flattered, and shocked. I was called beautiful by adults as a kid, but not really by people my age, they were so caught up telling the next girl she was beautiful because they were the lighter of the bunch. I used to be overlooked more often than none. It damaged me. I'm not writing this for pity, I'm writing this because its just so shocking of how things can change all of a sudden. I was the little girl with low self esteem, I was the little girl who hardly got compliments. That was me. And now, I'm starting to allow myself to see my own beauty.<br /><br />-SarahSarah Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698831281026634440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105115384082234365.post-67124008041994966852011-03-28T00:27:00.000-07:002011-03-28T00:31:47.921-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J1-TEBeV7uk/TZA43MKMauI/AAAAAAAAAkI/KCR3XbwljC0/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J1-TEBeV7uk/TZA43MKMauI/AAAAAAAAAkI/KCR3XbwljC0/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589029658374728418" border="0" /></a>I love to smile, But I hardly like to smile for photos because my cheeks are so huge, and my eyes tend to squint.

Literally about 2 weeks ago, I've been inspired to learn. The other day, and also today I was on youtube and google search engine for tutorials for styling. I learned how to finally succeed on doing a fishtail braid. I did it on myself first. I currently have some 18 inches curly installed, so it wasn't as long as I would have wanted. Then the next day I took it to school asking three girls if I could do a test trial on them, and it worked. I'll post the pictures soon. I love learning creative styles! <br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Sarah Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698831281026634440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105115384082234365.post-21256582360431040712011-01-04T18:50:00.001-08:002011-01-04T18:50:46.018-08:00<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c9BPAbXRnys/S_4id1RE2NI/AAAAAAAALr0/W-vmPxQQ1zA/s800/Sessilee-Lopez-Marcin-Tyszka-Fashiontography-3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 800px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 506px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c9BPAbXRnys/S_4id1RE2NI/AAAAAAAALr0/W-vmPxQQ1zA/s800/Sessilee-Lopez-Marcin-Tyszka-Fashiontography-3.jpg" /></a> Prom dress inspiration.

Causing our flights to be canceled, we were stuck in the UK for about another week! Crazy, right? By the grace of God we have funds to be in a hotel instead of sleeping for a week in the airports.

Can it please just be balanced, and stay balanced? Sometimes I feel like my short hair is boyish on me.. Then sometimes I'm happy with it. Then one minute I miss having loner hair, and want to dash to the nearest beauty supply for some hair extensions. Not saying I won't do it, because I plan on adding extensions on the side of my hair for Winter Ball, but I'm trying to make myself be comfortable with the real me for now. You know, you should never leave to another home, if your home isn't happy first.. So with that said I need to learn some styling so I won't be bored with my hair. Sometimes I can regret what I did. But what ever, the reason I cut it was to face one of my biggest challenges: Shaving my hair and cutting it. I achieved it, but I have troubles accepting what I did sometimes. I hope I get over it though.Sarah Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698831281026634440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105115384082234365.post-3301233180699910572010-11-03T00:59:00.001-07:002010-11-06T22:34:23.895-07:00New phase hair cut!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IXPh6x05Yis/TNY6TKU19cI/AAAAAAAAAiI/qa3pXmISCDU/s1600/cut2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IXPh6x05Yis/TNY6TKU19cI/AAAAAAAAAiI/qa3pXmISCDU/s400/cut2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536676892762305986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i51.tinypic.com/t6tg6b.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IXPh6x05Yis/TNEXazYQJYI/AAAAAAAAAiA/AmBgp6UtXmQ/s1600/IMG_2151-1.jpg"><br /></a><br /><br />I got my hair cut off, shaved off, and dyed. I wanted to finally take a risk at the things I want to do with my hair, regardless of if its too wild looking to people. I definatlely do like my hair, but I'm not going to lie, sometimes for me it's a bit hard to style it the way I want to. But thats when I had long hair, or weaved hair. lol I find my self wasting so much time trying to find a decent shirt that'll look okay with my hair cut. Like I don't want to look too boyish or something. I know I sound crazy, but I'm trying to get over this. I know short cuts are feminine, it's still taking me time to get used to it. Heres a picture the day after I went to Paul Mitchell's beauty school and had a friend there do it.Sarah Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698831281026634440noreply@blogger.com3
