The Bridge to Bliss

And operation last minute vacation was a complete SUCCESS! I had a blast in  It definitely was an unforgettable experience. I also bonded with my family, something I truly appreciate prior to my leaving for school.  I am very thankful to have had this opportunity. But, ALAS, the time has come. With less than 5 days until I leave for Evanston, it's time to get things CRACKIN'! Here's everything I have to do before I leave: • Buy more hair products: Since I am a (proud) natural, I have to stock up on products! I need enough to last me until Thanksgiving break, and possible longer than that! Check out my YouTube channel to see my favorite products. • Last minute dorm needs: Yep, you're reading that correctly. I still have all of that to get. However, some things we are planning on buying in Evanston (phew)! What can I say... • Finish a book True proof of my procrastination skills here. Be jealous. I received this book some weeks ago and I don't think I'm passed the...

Today is the very last day of the #31WriteNow challenge! I did it! *cue We Are the Champions*  Well, I didn't blog every single day, but recollecting my previous blogging habits, I've made so much progress thanks to this challenge. People have actually been frequently reading The B2B, I've come up with tons more to write about, and I've breathed a new life into my pre-challenge blog! I really do feel accomplished.  But the push isn't over just because August is over ( seriously though, August only lasted a day ). I will now be participating in Blogtember! That's right! A September blogging challenge! It doesn't start until the 3rd (in honor of the holiday), and I think it will benefit you to tune in. In depth deets will be coming soon, so thank you to those who have read and see you soon to those who will continue to read.  XOXO -Si

Purple? So, just in case you're wondering, the countdown until Northwestern is 3 days in total. Many times, when I tell others that I'm a Northwestern Wildcat, I get the following responses: Wow! You're smart. Northwestern?? Big 10 Northwestern? That's a hard school to get into, woah! Wooooooow! Congrats and the seldom but equally amusing; Oh. (unfamiliar with the school and its prestige) However, for me, and others that look like me, after making it known that we attend a prestigious school, some may think it's because we are black. Or Native American. Or Hispanic. Or a female. Simply, some believe that due to programs like Affirmative Action, people who are unqualified get into schools over those who are qualified.  Here's a question for those people: What does the world look like? When you step outside of your home into the world, you don't see just one type of person. You don't see programmed robots who all only know how to d...

By the way, this was meant to be posted on the 27th, but my blogger app never uploaded it. Anywho, September comes , duhh! Well, not yet. Today, lovelies, I am in full vacation mode! That's right! Seeing as, in exactly a week, I'll be in a truck headed for Evanston, this is my last hoorah before I start at Northwestern.  I'm really thankful to have a family that has gone out of their way to make my last summer at home such a memorable one. Texas, Myrtle Beach, and other super cool things. For the first time, I'm excited for school to start. I know I'll miss a ton of people, but I'm ready and prepared for this next chapter of my life.  But as of today (And tomorrow. And Thursday), school is not my focus. VACATION IS!! XOXO -Si

You read it, tonight is my last night living it up on vacation, as I board the plane for home tomorrow! Not only that, but this is also my last Wednesday night I'll be spending with my family! Next time, I'll be in Evanston ( woah ).   This was an awesome end of the summer hoorah!  XOXO -Si

Here it is, here it is! And plain as day! The video detailing what to do to get a defined twistout on your hair. I understand my last twistout video wasn't as specific as some would have liked, so I made sure to lay it out here! Also, I understand that I only posted a Polyvore set of clothing yesterday, which didn't include any writing. So I am sorry, in case someone was actually depending on a post. Here is the link just in case:  http://youtu.be/sygiR00Ca1g Also, I will be posting more in depth on this, but today a good friend of mine dropped his much anticipated mixtape! I know you may see mixtape promotion a lot on the interwebs, but this stuff has substance, something you will nod your head to and fall in love with. The artist is HAV, who I mentioned in this recent blog post! To make a long story short, HAV is the truth, please please please check him out HERE , my favorite track is Tragedies Dream . I'm actually sitting here wondering why I haven't gotten in...
