Coco's Chaos

Hello, my name is Courtney and I used to be addicted to Creamy Crack. It was an addiction that lasted for years. Finally, about a year ago, I decided to kick that bad habit. Cold turkey. It wasn't easy, but I made it. I can happily say that I am finally natural and loving it!  The process of going natural is difficult. Anyone that tells you it isn't, is lying through their kinky curly head! Resisting the urge to perm is hard. There were many days that I would look in the mirror and just stare at my hair in pure disgust. I had a real love/hate relationship with my hair for a few months. Luckily, I have a live-in beautician (hey Kel-Bel!) that assisted me through the tough times. She was like my transition sponsor! She went through the process so it made my transition not as horrible as Ive heard they can be.                                        Me and my Naturally Beautiful siste...

This is the time of year that people start making New Years resolutions. Whether its a diet, a plan to stop using foul language, changing your attitude or "cleaning up" your circle of friends, a lot of people use the end of one year as a good reason to make some life changes. I usually make some half-hearted attempt at changing something. I'll give up something or implement some random plan and it lasts all of 3 days! LOL Im not going to do that to myself in 2012. I'm going to Let Go and Let God! Any plan He has for me is much better than any plan I could make for myself!  Do what you know you CAN do. That would be my advice to anyone planning to come up with a resolution. If you didn't go through with the resolution after the first week of last year, what makes 2012 any different? Seriously. Be honest with yourself. Don't make some crazy plans you know you won't fulfill. Don't go to bed on December 31st and think you're going to wake up on Jan...
