introduction

soooo… where do i start?!?! well first off my birthday is in 4 weeks!!! can't believe it came so fast. the month of august is always a great month, so i'm looking forward to it in general. southern youth quake is friday in tucson; that's going to be a wonderful time. as soon as i figure out how to make tabs and what not, i'll start posting hair styles, outfits, natural products i use, etc. with this blog i want to encourage other young ladies to live their lives wholly natural for God in all areas. deciding to wear my hair natural and spend time caring for it, was a scary yet exciting life choice. i always wondered what people were going to think, say, if my friends were going to distant themselves from me and the list goes on. growing up i never really struggled with outward appearance and how Godly christian women should look, but the perception of beauty has always been integrated into american culture. the need to have straight hair has been impressed upon society for generations to the point where sometimes we can feel as though we are not beautiful unless our hair is straight. i confess that i have felt this way before and was even bound by this thought. which brings me to the point of being wholly natural for God. when i made the step to go natural, i was choosing to step out from bondage. i wasn't bound by sin, but it was still an obstacle that was holding me back from the will of God for my life. i made the choice to be wholly natural for God in all areas of my life and if i can do it, anyone can! each of us have different obstacles or insecurities that trouble us, but it's not God's will that we dwell on these things. instead we need to push, search for a solution to step out from that barrier and become who God intended us to be! i leave you with encouragement and inspiration. until next time <3 xoxo <3
