No More Tress Stress

Hey guys! So it's been a while....BUT. Now that club week, midterms, homecoming and all that jazz is over, I'm going to do my best to write more often. SO! To start off, I will say that God is so awesome, and he has gotten me (almost) through the hardest semester of my life. It has been one of the most stressful, emotionally taxing and exhausting periods of my life. 

Anyways, I don't know about y'all, but my hair has this tendency to get split ends really quickly. I put it through the daily grind of product after product, wand after straightener after blow dryer....all of it. So, as of November 1st, I am going on a heat/product strike....for a YEAR. I don't know about y'all, but that is a LONG time, and I don't know how I'm going to do it. But I'm gonna, and I'm gonna blog about it. I hope this not only lets my hair get really healthy, but also grow me spiritually. I put so much store in my physical beauty and put so much time and effort into my appearance. So for the next year, the time I usually spend doing my hair (about 10-15 minutes) I'm going to spend in quiet/devo time with God. I'm really excited about it. However, I didn't wanna look homeless. So I got my hair chopped off, and I'm going to see how much it can grow in a year. I will only get trims from now until November 1, 2014. Come on this journey with me, y'all! I'm nervous about it, but it will be great!!

1 Peter 3:3-4

³ Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewellery, or the clothing you wear— ⁴ but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
