It's Mine!

Yes, the money is all mine!

But actually this post is about hair.

As I have told you all time and time again, I have natural hair. But being the Sierra I am, I like to change things up and keep people wondering what my next step will be. I'm also unapologetically an individual, so many times the things I do will not and do not seem mainstream. In the past, I've dyed my hair "purple" with semi-permanent dye.


Lovely, right? However, such purple hair was only done with a rinse, meaning that after a couple of washes, the purple fades away. So now, I want to take things to the next level. Let me give you all a visual. 

So I want to lift the color of my hair in the front section like so,

And then let the purple take over and reign like this beauty has done,

To me, this will be the needed touch to give me the "umph" I've been wanting for so long. I know what you're thinking, "So why not do it then?"

Here's the dilemma: Natural Hair police
Some of the peeps in the natural hair community are so hard core that they see any type of chemical that you put in your hair as a ticket out of said community. Why? Beats me. Even though your hair is still in its texture, some will pitch fork you for adding spice to your 'do. But to me, this logic is FAULTY! Likewise, does that mean that these ladies do not put any type of product whatsoever in their mane? Uhhh, no. Regular hair products hair chemicals, geniuses. Many things we do to our hair alters it, but it's amusing how some offer their attention to others and not their own doing. My verdict?

Whatever!!! 

So soon (very soon), I will be rocking some awesomely purple natural hair. Think about it this way, If I am not my hair...YOU sure as heck aren't either. 

P.S. Today Welcome Week for Northwestern FINALLY starts! Will (try to) keep you updated!

XOXO

A Letter for Kay: Advice to New College Students

Here's a wild fact: I graduate in less than a week. And even though I've known that fact for a while now (except, maybe, right before my econ final), it's still not real enough. I still cannot fathom how these last four years flew by but at the same time went excruciatingly slow. It's been a hell of a ride, let me tell you. Northwestern was my dream school for as long as I can remember. I applied early decision because there was never another option for me, honestly. I wanted to go to the best journalism school, despite snarky remarks from classmates insinuating that I wasn't good enough. And when I got in , honey, excited was an understatement. I started my first day of college in 2013. And now I'll be walking across a stage to get this expensinve diploma in a week. I can't say it's all been pleasant - because it hasn't. It's been a tough ride many days, some I wondered if this day would ever come. Some I felt so isolated and alone that I f

Bienvenidos a Argentina: Be Kind to Yourself

Today marks the end of 2017's first full week! I hope the year is off to a rejuvinating start for everyone. Oh, and today also marks the end of my first week in Buenos Aires, Argentina! For those of you who don't know, I'll be interning here until the end of March. As any journalist would, I definitely did my homework on Argentina before getting here. The food, the music, the culture at large - and how I would fit in with it. As with any place, there's a variety of experiences people had. Here are some of mine, as well as thoughts and some photos I took along the way. Being in Argentina has already showed me the beauty in slowing down. In the U.S., and ESPECIALLY at universities like Northwestern, it is extremely normalized to stay busy and moving at 300000 mph. If we're idle, we're being inefficient. If there's too much time to relax, we're being lazy. That can grow to be exhausting and toxic as all get out.  But here? On the contrary. Here it'
