Hey y’all—this vlog is literally a “such a good week” recap with a little bit of everything: dinner with my girl, errands, cozy moments, and of course hair. I started the week running around (hot, per usual) and showed y’all my stretched look using the African Pride leave-in + rose water mousse. Then the next day I went for my trim…and decided to go ahead and get it straightened so I could stretch my content for the next two weeks and still keep my natural hair videos rolling. And yes, we took it as a length check—your girl is past bra strap length now, period. After the salon, I did a TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Ulta run (snow tried to take me out, not even gonna lie). I re-upped on bodycare faves like Naturium’s Glow Getter wash and lotion, grabbed my Philosophy Fresh Cream perfume because mine had two squirts left, and tried something new with a Juvia’s liquid blushlighter. Then we got into the girly haul: coffee syrup, the cutest candy cane straws, a new planner (with stickers!), an umbrella to protect the silk press, scrunchies, and my “Hot girls read books” mug. I also hit Half Price Books and somehow turned three books into eight…don’t worry about it. And I kept it real about life too—grief has been heavy, especially around the holidays, and I shared what that’s been like for me. We ended the week with Minkmas prep, thoughtful gifts, and me just trying to keep it pushing one day at a time.
