“Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.”

A random post, but I really want a knapsack like this one…
i want to write… but i feel like i have so much to say and not enough words in my vocabulary to say it with. does this happen to anyone else?
When this happens to me I stop writing for a time and read. It’s kind of like refueling you’re car.

Misplaced anger & frustration is one of the worst things to deal with from others.
Every summer day that passes, I get more and more tempted to lighten my curls just a tiny bit. But the sh*t is expensive and maintenance is far too damaging; I’ve played the color game before and lost.
“I don’t believe in marriage. I really don’t. Let me be clear about that. I think, at worst, it’s a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it’s a happy delusion. It’s two people who truly love each other — and have no idea how truly miserable they’re about to make each other. But, when two people know that and they decide, with eyes wide open, to face each other and get married anyway, then I don’t it’s conservative or delusional. I think it’s radical and courageous, and very romantic.”

I was just watching a tutorial on banding when I realized that I needed to reblog this so I could be entered in the chance to win a very much needed Miss Jessie’s Giveaway! If you don’t know, Miss Jessie’s makes a mean curly pudding perfect for twist outs and a baby butter to die for! I use it on my girls hair (all 3 of them) and it works great for all of them. Especially my 6 year old since I keep her hair in smaller individual braids and they hold up in excellent condition when I use this butter. I also love the quick curls cream for wash and go days.
Anyway this stuff is as expensive as it is good. I usually just buy the samples, so I had to make sure I entered this contest.
Full size products?!?! Are you serious? How could I not!
Miss Jessie’s Giveaway!
One of the highlights of my BET Awards Weekend was on Saturday evening. I was sitting in rehearsal watching Drake hop around the stage doing his Snoopy dance when I was tapped on the shoulder by
an angela Miss Jessie’s representative. I turned around and he handed me a fairly heavy small red bag. It took me a few seconds to realize what had just happened. He then moved on to a woman in front of me with locs & handed her a bag. Some chick with a run over weave asked him for a bag & it said “Sorry, this is for the natural sistahs.” #womp. I looked at the name on the bag. Then I looked inside. The first thing I saw was a jar of Curly Pudding. As it registered in my mind what I was holding, I almost fell out of my chair. Then he walked back by & uttered the most magical words to me. “You can come get another bag from the gift suite if you’d like.” HUSH YO MOUTH! I didn’t want to be greedy but…actually, that’s a lie. But I was thinking about y’all! I hopped up & followed him and got another bag just for #FreeShitFriday! So here is my gift to you!
