The Laundromat

It's officially been one week since I arrived in Honolulu, and I must say that I'm adjusting pretty well. I only have to wait one more week until the rest of my belongings arrive on the barge. 

I'm having so much fun exploring and getting to know my new surroundings. Among my list of findings and firsts, is ordering the best bubble tea I've ever had, and doing my laundry at a laundromat. I kind of felt like I was in a movie as I was folding my clothes! 

I can't wait to share more of my new environment with you, so be sure to check back often!

I'm Bringing 80's Back

I don't know what it is, but lately I've been dreaming about an Afro. Maybe it's my daughter, maybe it's my best friend, or maybe I'm just trying to bring my youth back. 

Not wanting to go permanent (pun intended), I went straight to my haircare professional (who also happens to be my mother), and asked her for a water perm. For those that don't know what a water perm is, it's a perm done without using perm solution. The hair is wet down with water, wrapped, and then left to air dry. I sat under a hood dryer to speed the process. 

I'm totally digging the results! I felt so light and bouncy! Of course as soon as you shampoo your hair, it's back to your natural texture, but it sure was fun while it lasted!

Now for today's fun fact!

|Fun Fact| My mom gave me my very first perm at 2 years old and continued giving them to me until I was 10! I feel scarred and loved all at the same time! Love you mom! Check out some photo evidence below!
