      I’m trying so hard to love my natural hair, but it’s a struggle for me. I feel like I’m more accepted and am seen as more professional at work when I straighten my hair. So many people tell me they prefer my hair straight and are like “oh, you did your hair today. It looks so nice.” Honestly, wearing my hair curly is just as much work, so really, I “do” my hair everyday.

      Plus, my natural hair isn’t that nice. My curls aren’t all pretty and uniform like most of the natural hair inspiration photos I see. I feel like even those communities celebrate “good hair” that is naturally or can mimic loose curls and coils.

      My hair isn’t all tight and pretty either and it took trial and error with many many many many many products to find what worked for me and gave me the most definition for my curls.

      As for the people at work, I can only say just do your thing. There are some days where my hair is a a glowing masterpiece and no one says anything. There are days where it looks like I set it on fire and I’m told I look good. Peoples opinions are dumb, you do you girl.

    More sandwich shops should have a full Afro-Cuban percussion rig set up: congas, timbales, cowbells, etc.

    Actually, scratch that. I just need an Afro-Cuban percussion section to follow me around everywhere.

      Failing that, I will settle for a guy with an ‘80s boombox on his shoulder playing a mixtape of Calexico tracks.

    Cher tweets like my mom emails. I don’t even know if my mom is aware the Caps Lock is on, or if she just thinks that’s how everyone composes their emails. To her credit, Cher tweets about actual issues, my mom talks about the socks I got her for Christmas.

    Kirsty Alley: Thanks for checking in, I guess?

      My mom just got on Facebook and comments on EVERYTHING and often signs her name and still doesn’t seem to know the difference between commenting and messaging. But at least it’s not in all caps. Oh, moms.

      I’m friends with my boyfriend’s mom on Facebook. He doesn’t have one so she will constantly get wine drunk and message me to make him watch some live Paul Simon video she randomly found on YouTube or to look at some pictures she took in her garden. He breifly tried Facebook again for a couple months before deleting it again but it was nice to have a breather.

      It feels like he’s been sad even longer than that? He was miserable the last year he was with 1D too. It’s like Bieber, who strikes me as super depressed too.

    Good for you, Amber, but I disagree that all hair is beautiful in its natural state. Source: my thin, fine, difficult to manage hair that goes limp after 5 minutes regardless of what I do.

      Add really thick hair to yours. Fine plus thick hair equals not being ever able to do absolutely anyhing with it. I did just find a shampoo that actually works, it is a Dove shampoo just for fine hair, that seems to clean well and give a little body.

    I love my natural hair too Amber. She’s gorgeous and has a personality all of her own. We don’t always get along, but when we do, sis we fly.

    Today we played truce with a bun and some nice argan oil gen. Had a flamenco dancer slick going on. Tomorrow we’ll see how she feels.

      Seriously the most important lesson to learn is to have multiple styles in mind when you have natural hair because she has her own mind and no mater how good your twist out...she might not like it

      So much this. I used to leave my hair until last in the mornings but too many failed twist outs that left me scrambling to figure out what to do with it, brought me to my senses.

      My job won’t care that she’s unpredictable and sometimes petty. But I let it slide, because I wasn’t always kind to her.

      I shoved an entire Hostess Sno-Ball cupcake in my mouth on a dare in 6th grade and then sneezed. The rubbery coconut fluff covering came out my nose in two pieces. #thestruggleisreal

    Rebel Wilson looks fantastic. Absolute perfection for the event. Tasteful and ladylike, with just a touch of edge in the jacket details, and flawlessly fitted. The shoes are great, too; dressy, but she can walk on grass in them. Coveting the whole ensemble! And I’ll take her tailor’s number while we’re at it.
