Changing hair a lot

I am a girl who changes her hair a lot. I hadn’t been that kind of girl though, but now I am. I think that mood, artistry and life itself really informs my perspective on my personal self image and perception of beauty, so I’m always looking to appear differently or uniquely, or as a somewhat different version of myself. Hair to me, is the biggest tool and canvas in how to change one’s appearance - even more so than makeup. In 2019 there was a point where I bleached literally my entire scalp and eyebrows (as a lot of people are now doing in this present day)… My hair was in twists, and so I looked like this character from a cartoon or anime in a majestic way. Yassified Super Saiyan! I’d still been a highschooler then, and that was the most free I’d ever felt with my image up to that point. To me, that was a real testament to the power of hair. From that point on my life became a pipeline from wigs to eventually protective hairstyles and I lived for every second of it. I still do!

My hair

Funny (tragic) how I (my mom) kept it short my whole life until I graduated college and I decided to grow it out and discovered that my hair’s very curly! Ngl it’s so expensive and so much more work to maintain compared to keeping it short but I’ve gotten used to it. I also think I got lucky in figuring out a good routine with products that work for me pretty quickly. Growing my curls out has been transformational and absolutely worth it. Compliments from others is always nice but trust that no one loves my hair more than meeeeeee We don’t talk about the short-haired version of me in the past lmao the glow-up was REAL

dancing is the medicine

dancing

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right

Rice bowls with tuna (or tofu) and a big pot of lentils

I loosely follow eric kim’s recipe below for the tuna, some marinated tofu would also work well. Then I make a big pot of rice, and add whatever toppings I have on hand throughout the week (kimchi, cucumber, cilantro, sesame seeds, all things that require very little of you and can be done ahead) For the lentils, I make a big pot at the beginning of the week and again, top with various things I have around (an egg, a handful of arugula, lemon, yogurt, garlic) I find that having two bases that are different enough and customizable keeps feeding yourself simply from feeling like a punishment while you focus on other things. ps: if you’re new to lentils, lemme know, i’ll write out my recipe for ya!
