9 Months Natural

So it's been nine months since I cut all my hair off and went natural and it has been an interesting journey. So my hair is back....YAY!!! Well these past nine months have been really easy considering I had my hair in extensions ever since it was long enough to braid. Yes I know so many woman who are on their natural hair journey would not like to hear this but a new look takes time to get usto (yes 9months as it is constantly changing/growing). Everyone's journey is different and despite if everyone says they love my hair/new look I have to love it first! My opinion and confidence is whats most important!!! I'm not going to lie and say I don't miss how silky and smooth my hair was when it was permed because I do. And there are times when I miss my hair how it was but I obviously can't change that I just have to have patience...wait for my hair to grow.

Well my hair in my opinion is still thin which was my worry when I did my big chop in February of this year. I have always had thin hair and I hoped if i was to be natural for the rest of my life (as i did not cut it all off for nothing just to perm it again) that it would be thick, luscious and beautiful. It's only been 9months and I know it always takes time so I will have patience, but will it be thick? I'm sure in a few months, like 9 more I will be happy with my hair cause I am getting tired of the hair extensions (may try weave for a while tho). Part of me wonders if I will ever be happy with my hair again? I want to love my hair but I just don't like how I look with it? Anyways here are a few pics of my hair at 9months and will keep updating, probably at my 1year mark I will do a video and then again at 2yrs. The day I actually go out doors with my natural I will absoutley update that milestone in my Natural Hair Journey.

LENGTH CHECK :)

Hessien Tradition

So since coming to university my flatmates and I have found a new family tradition in leaving messages for our flatmates when they have company round. This new tradition has had is laughing hysterically and made for good times to remember. So watch out, you might me next......

And today we did another flatmates door:

University Student.......Food!?!

So it's been a while and I've been busy with university life but I thought I would share my experiences with you and use this as what it is a blog :)
Okay so my flatmate cooked some potato cakes a few weeks back and had two left over and forgot all about them for a few weeks. The container was left in the counter for weeks until today, early this morning when it was finally found! So below is the nasty, disgusting result of moldy potato.
Luckily for me I wasn't in the room when the container was opened, shoot i would have just thrown away the container and the content in it. Eww that has just put me off potato for awhile....a very long time.

This was the end result:

He's too good for me........really?

So it has been a month since I have been at university and everything was going good but they say all good things must come to an end. So I have always been a confident person and a beautiful one but words do hurt something we all at some points in our life have to learn. It's funny its usually the words people hide and say behind you r back which hurt the most. I guess it's because behind closed doors people can let go and say what they truly feel about you as they are to afraid to say it to your face. Now you see I am the opposite I fear none but God, so I will tell you straight up to your face what I think of you especially as a so called "friend". Okay but can you really call somebody you've only know for about a month a friend? It's a honest question...can you?

Hypothetically or in reality I liked a guy who is younger than me, another race and from a different background to me. And in confidence I tell you my "friend" how I feel about this person and what happened between us as i need someone to talk to and process things. So you betray my trust and tell somebody what I told you even though you know its wrong.....shoot it only took you 1day before you told two people.  But un top of that what really pissed me off was that you said that "you can't see us together, we don't fit" or some shit like that (not in a nice way) implying that you think he is too good for me. WTF.....he's too good for me? Why is that? Is it the way I look?
I would never say that to a friend about someone she was with/like.
I believe that sometimes two people may be different but that doesn't mean one person
 is too good for the other.

I'm not going to lie I was slightly hurt by what she said, but the ignorance of some people amazes me. I know some women are bitchy but never from a friend I thought I would experience this...just makes me want to "punch you in the throat".

So why can't you see us together, he's too good for me?
Is it because I'm not white....blonde hair with blue eyes?
Maybe because I'm not stick thin?
Is it because you want him?

The attraction between men and women is something that cannot be explained and should not be judged by the likes of YOU!!! Why wouldn't he be interested, look at me I'm flipping AMAZING!

Scratch that I'm SEXY & I KNOW IT!!!

Weightloss Journey Day 11

Tennis was okay today only me and mummy played today because everyone else couldn't make it. It had rained that night so the court was slippery so I didn't get a proper sweat/workout was i dnt wanna run too much and hut myself. Luckily my toes are feeling a little better so praise the Lord! Well I'm off to bed so I can wake up early for tennis tomorrow, as i am not a morning person.

Weightloss Journey Day 10

So my toes still hurt but I had a great workout at tennis today, not as much as yesterday as not everyone was here. Four of us played today so we mostly volleyed and practiced our serving and the things the coach taught us yesterday. We played from 8:45-11:00am and had a 10minute break to eat a banana and have some water. Which is a good fruit to eat during of after playing. Well i must admit i had not eaten a banana in a very long time (weeks) before last week, so tennis has been good.

So now I am home I have and a hot shower and am soaking my feet as my toes are still hurting. But I really thing the boiling hot water is helping a little. I think if I do this each day after I playing for a while my feet will feel a lot better. But I may have to get a pedicure when my feet stop hurting next week cause I cant have nobody touching my feet right now.

Well this week I have tennis tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Cause I have two appointments on Thursday and Friday when we usually play so I cannot make it. So now I just applied so deep heat to my shoulder and hope the pain goes away. Well you know what they say, "No pain, no gain!!!"

Weightloss Journey Day 9

I feel amazing and totally rejuvenated....exercise is just great when playing a sport. It's like I was not feeling any pain at all when i was playing but I know when I wake up in the morning I will be in pain. Seriously it is my third time playing and i am pained up.....my feet (toes) hurt especially but I'm sure it will wear off in time (i hope). 

So I played from 8:45am-12:345pm with a few breaks but it was good workout session. So we played and towards the end we got some coaching from a Tennis Coach who was at the park (downhill park, tottenhm). He was very helpful and I learn't a lot which helped my technique incredibly. I learn how to do a backstroke (as I was rubbish at it) and worked on my serve, which I've been told I'm a natural at.
Well I am a sports girl, always have been from back in school. I secondary I play netball which I loved and was totally great at it. I also did shot put on sports days and ran a little (was okay at that). Sports are a great way to exercise have fun and meet new people. I think I like the element of being in a TEAM, something I really miss. Well the people I play with are great and like to play very competitively (some more than others :) lol) but it pushed you to play harder, develop your skill and have so much fun. I tell you we laugh as much as we play always enjoyable.

So tomorrow  I will play again as I wanna keep consistency before my monthly comes along and I don't feel like playing.
