My natural hair
journey began in July 2011. I was becoming a junior in high school and
no longer did I want to deal with my then relaxed hair. I felt like I
wasn't living the vision of who I knew I had the potential to be. I also
couldn't afford to go to the salon every couple of months to keep up
with my new growth and the rest of my relaxed hair.
This weekend has truly been enlightening. On Saturday
afternoon I attended my very first sip and paint. I spent a few hours
that were well deserved out of my place and without my baby for the very
first time in 6 weeks.
I made sure my husband had a few bags of breastmilk ready for the baby
before I headed out. I was a bit nervous being that it was my first time
leaving my baby with my husband while I head out too.
We all have possibly
felt the urge while shopping to treat ourselves to a little something
nice. I know I have and can honestly say it with a grin. But when does
treating yourself to something nice conflicts with your current
financial situation? Believe it or not, there are people who will charge
their credit card to the max or even their debit card to just feel and
look like they are living a life of financial comfort, but are suffering
to make rent or mortgage on a monthly basis.
My breastfeeding experience began the same day that I gave birth to my
son, October 29th, 2017. I started off feeling discouraged. I didn't
know anything about producing colostrum. At
the hospital, I delivered at their lactation specialists were amazing.
They didn't pressure me into breastfeeding my newborn and they were very
hands-on and supportive in my decision to breastfeed.
