Curls for days.

If you have curly hair you may already know everyday is another challenge. Lately it has been hot and muggy out which makes my curly crazy hair extra impossible to keep up with.

These are some daily occurrences that I have happened way too many times.

1. Humidity

Yes curly hair's worst enemy. So most of us curly haired people can not stand the summer.


2. Dry it Straight

When people with straight hair just tell you to dry your hair straight.

I am sorry what ? That is not possible. It is not like going to bed with braided hair and waking up with wavy hair.

3. Hair brushes

We all have been there at least once where your hair isn't having it.

It would probably take you a long while to detangle your brush out of your hair.


4. Conditioner is Key

Sometimes you feel like you use half a bottle in one wash.


5. Rain

When it rain can just ruin your hair in a split second.


6. WOW! You have so much hair

Having to explain that the natural volume of your hair just makes it look 10x bigger than it actually is.

7. As a child being compared to a broom or a mop. Always made you wish you had straight hair.

9. Shampoo commercials

When you watch commercials that advertise shampoo for curly hair , but the hair model doesn't even have curly hair….

10. The question

Every time you answer the question "how long does it take to straighten your hair" Your answer always makes you think why do you even bother straightening your hair.

11. The Unknown

You never know how your hair is going to end up when you air dry.

12. Taming

It takes a lot of time and patience to maintain curly hair and sometimes it includes putting a lot gunk in your hair.

13. Please do not touch

Some people are just fascinated by curly hair but as I said before it takes a lot to maintain it , therefore please do not touch!

13.Badass

We can all admit that having curly hair automatically makes you a bad ass.

Curly hair is just a blessing in disguise. Our hair reflects how bouncy and fun we can be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
