Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a love-hate relationship with my hair. My mom didn’t have a clue how to comb curly hair and thus my hair often became an entangled mess. It was once so bad, that my local hair stylist […]
Despite not being a girl, my son is stylish. Ok. I will get a backlash at that sentence perhaps. But do let me explain. I always said that if I had to have a child I wanted it to be a boy. I felt girls would be […]
