It's 5am. I'm up. That's all ya get. There's no rising and shining going on here.

congrats! (despite the sleepy mood lol)

i spy with my little eye: a drug store level of supplies on the shelves back there1 lol...AND the cutest little kitsy cat that is a replica of mine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good early morning attitude! ?

I love your kitty photo bombing!

This was me after getting to work, clocking in, and being paid to "turn it on" and smile lol And yes, that's one of my 2 fur babies. This particular one is Asher lol

Btw...I know you guys have seen pics of my straight hair in the past. The curls in my hair are actually natural. I have straightened my hair for the better part of 20 years, to the point that even when I didn't straighten it, there was almost no curl or wave left in it. After my hysterectomy, I got my hair cut and ALL the curl came roaring back lol I have no idea why. But my kids have decided I'm not allowed to straighten it anymore, so I won't.

Our stash is actually running quite low lol Normally those shelves are full. You should see our pantry and the 3 freezers we have. Mama don't play when it comes to being prepared. That's how we made it through every time I missed work because of a surgery.

Your curls are Hair Goals -- I agree with your kids lol!

Seriously though, you're looking amaaaazing ❤️

Everyone seems to agree with them lol I remember why I started straightening it, tho. It's a pain to maintain. But I'll do it until I want to chop it all off lol Then I'll see how it goes. I'm not one to mess with my hair much, and I don't do much in the way of make up. Haven't since high school. So having to put the leave in conditioner in my hair and the curl cream is super annoying. If I don't, it's all kinds of floofy and frizzy. So it keeps my hair nice and tame. So we'll see how long it lasts. For now, I really like it.

And thank you for the compliment Very sweet of you.

The curly hair looks so good! You should definitely keep it that way, although I understand the frizz and floof issues, especially if you have any humidity. But it looks great!

Aha - same hair issues here. I straighten religiously. If I don't I need tons of product.

Your hair looks amazing @sleevetobypass

I think the curly is cute and if it’s less maintenance it’s a win win

Isn’t it so weird, though how hormones and other brain chemicals that “act as hormones” can change our hair. I am on a mood stabilizer and antidepressant and over the years my hair has changed texture entirely. It’s the strangest thing. It used to be super silky fine and board straight to the point when I cut it short I had to add color to try and damage it because it wouldn’t do anything even with all kinds of product. Now it’s a little thicker, more coarse (or more normal) and sorta curly when I wake up (but nothing like yours, mine brushes out) Ooh and it changed color (which dr Google says that part may just be aging but also due to hormonal changes). ??‍♀️

Here's a kind of progression of my hair. So the first one is when I was at my heaviest and let my natural curl come out. I actually loved my hair in this pic. Then in pic 2 is when I didn't straighten it but as you can see, there's barely any wave to it. The 3rd one is with it completely straightened. The rest are after I cut my hair after my hysterectomy. It shows how the curl slowly started to come back tighter until it's finally like it is now. It's so weird why it's like this again. But I like it enough, for now, to leave it.
