So Long 2012, Hello 2013 :)




I'm here! I'm here!! Happy 2013 to each and every one of you...I can't put into words how awesome you've helped make my 2012 and I have no doubt this year will be the best it can be.  I turn THIRTY on January 23rd...it's creeping up on me...YIKES!!! I'm still trying to figure out how I want to celebrate but I definitely want to do something nice :)

I'm not too big on making resolutions, but I do have some things I want to do better, especially when it comes to my hair.  I need to make the time to deep condition weekly, or at least hot oil treat weekly; I also need to protein treat monthly or every 6 weeks.  I've done a LOT with my hair over the latter half of 2012, including very minimal of what I just mentioned above and I can definitely tell.  I think I've been over-conditioning, so I'm not going to be sleeping with conditioner anymore and will increase my protein treatments to combat that.  Also, I feel like I'm going to go back to wearing twists more during the week, as more of a protective style.  Wearing my hair out a lot of the time, especially during this cold weather hasn't been great either!  And I'm scaling back my product purchases....and I'm going to ATTEMPT to use majority of my stash before the April WNHS.

And yes...I will probably cut some of my hair...not all off, but at least a few inches.  I want more shape and volume and dammit I'm going to get it!! (I feel like CurlyNikki and her desire for volume and big hair!!)

Anywho, I'm really going to focus on me this year...I've been slacking in some areas that I need to snap back on.  Saying no to certain things, staying more organized, trying to progress as a person.  I'm still single too, so maybe God will bless me with a great guy at some point in time ;)  I've also been, but I want to continue to spend more time with my family.  Although it was a tragedy that brought us together at the end of the year, we don't need it to keep us together. 

I'm ready for a great year, how bout you!!
