My Natural Work Day
This was my look for work today. I truly enjoyed rocking my Kangol (so much fun to wear one)! It has a slightly vintage feel to it...and it adds to my swag. LOL I was asked today by my supervisor whether or not I wore uniforms in my old position. Uh, no, I didn't. She stated that since I started working there two months ago, my outfits and hair changed daily. Like I have some serious personas wanting to show. I had to let her know, this is who I am: Jai B. all day long. I don't believe in being boxed in, hence, that's why I am NATURAL. Everything about me should be unique. Even when it comes to my sanctification: We are "peculiar" people. I don't look or act like the next woman. God made me unique as He did for you. People have to find themselves. I have never been a follower of man's trends, but I began early in life setting my own. This intimidates a lot of people, but understand my goal. My personal duty is to be that leader so others can find their way to Christ and anywhere else they may need to be. Let a sista help you out! I am not boasting myself in no way, shape or form. I am confident that God has given me a gift that will edify Him. So I close with this: To God Be the Glory for all the things He has done!
Be blessed! Until next time...

Protective Moment #1
Hi!! I pray that all is well with you and yours! This past weekend, I had the opportunity to change my look a bit...well, a lot! lol Not only did I do it for me, but for the hubby-to-be. I know that he misses my relaxed locks. After all, that's how I looked when he met me. This wig is ultra long...the tresses touched the base of the small of my back. Yeah... It all began when I was having breakfast at Shoney's and this woman was there with what appeared to be a sew-in weave. The bangs on it was beautifully feathered! I fell in love with the look. I battled for weeks about a sew-in and its cost. My conclusion was spending $40 for a reusable do than spend $150 on a style that would last me only a week because of scalp allergies. Thomas was so speechless with this look, y'all. I want to believe that he got a little teary eyed. lol He was happy. But I had to let him know that this "wigging it out" is not becoming me. It was for a day and maybe a day in the future. I made sure that he got enough photos...I love you, baby! But things have changed!! That includes my hair! I have crossed over into a new realm of Napptuality and I am pleased with the outcome. I have embraced my Natural (affectionately called Jai) and I am still learning her. It's been a year and 5 months now and I am still in love with my Natural hair. What can I say? How are you feeling on your Natural journey? Are you still excited?
Let me know what you are feeling. Be blessed!
