Ok so I haven't been too active on here..sorry for that but im gonna start. I have some things I want to address. Valerie: ur progress is wonderful. I enjoy watching ur timelines . Baba: congrats on the wedding . Ur pics are truly beautiful. Mamakittylove: u r truly beautiful. I love ur enthusiasm. I can't wait to see them in a couple months. Britany: u my dear r an inspiration. I love all of ur pics. I'm only a month in n I can't wait. Truly great. And of course SE: ur a saint. The knowledge u have and give is fantastic. Ok so back to the matter at hand.. I'm 1 month in and I have tons of progress..11 baby dreads popping up ..totally beautiful. I'll get a pic up as soon as I can. The only issue I'm having is trying to resist playing with them. I wash with JML tingle shampoo 3 times a week and bs/acv in between. I do have a few red bumps at the nape of my neck but we determined that is from pulling my hair too tight in a pony tail. I think I'm gonna update month to month. Look for pics soon . Muah everyone

ok so im gonna start this thing with a heya n hows it goin. im great thanx for asking..hehehe.. So im gonna admit i am an extremely vain person,i stress about my hair ..weight..pimples..everything.let me give u a lil back story...in elementary school i was the girl with big teeth..ratty hair ..hand me down clothes..by highschool i had finally grown into my teeth n face for that matter however something else grew as well...no no not what u think,,my hips ..still very tiny up top (didnt get those til i had kids) i felt like i was the only girl who had the bottom half of a woman yet the top half of a child..i started wearin jncos(yea yall remember those) big shirts i became one of the guys to all my highschool friends ..i dated guys way above my age..then came the eating disorders. lets move ahead some years to the moment i met my husband...quiet soft spoken gentle modest..i had inch long orange hair ..loud n boisterious yet he saw something in me that even i at that time didnt see.now we r married two kids livin the dream (i guess)..so when i told him i wanted dreads he looked me in the eyes and said 'ok when do u want to start' no drama at all(why i love him so much)..i thought i wanted to have them done by someone..i even thought i wanted them uniformed however im on my 5th day no brushing and i love my nappies ..i was scared that i would fuss about them and want them to be perfect but they are perfect the way they are..i initially wanted dreads because of how they looked..no religion or spiritual reasoning at all..now i think no i know i want them to be free...free of stereotypes n pressure to be a certain way..the other morning i was takin a shower for work n when i got out my husband was standing there ..he watched me get dressed..he noted that i didnt brush my hair and he kissed my neck and told me i was beautiful even with my tangled knots...Moral of this story....i know this journey is going to change me and probably change how i raise my girls..we r all beautiful in our own way...thanx guys for listening to me babble along like a brook
