Ok, so I first and foremost would like to thank Erin at Scandalous Beauty. With all the flip flopping that I have been doing with what I would like to do with my life, I finally came to the conclusion that I really want to pursue. I already said it, but now its more concrete. Im gonna get a job in accounting and go to cosmetology school for hair and makeup. Im gonna do it on the side and perfect my craft and see where it takes me. As far as hair, Im interested in styles yes, but more so maintaing the health of hair whether its relaxed or natural. So I have that business idea in mind, but, I'll brainstorm and let things marinate and present it here at a later date. I'll also be working with my best friend who started her fashion line called Popcorn Label Inc. She's definitely doing big things and I am absolutely proud. So, heres to goals, dreams and inspiration!

Things Im working on for 09
So for 2009 I have another challenge that I did not mention and its the "Raise your credit score" challenge I have been indulging myself on creditboards.com and also have been reading this book pictured to the left. Its a pretty good book. I read 100 pages within 2 hours. Still have to finish. I have learned so much from each and am of course, still learning. I cant wait to see results. Key things that I have learned are 1. Send out letters of verification to Collection Agencies (High priority accounts) 2. Know what laws protect you as a consumer, and them as creditors 3. Get a secured credit card soon to revive my credit 4. Try to delete some things off of my credit report 5. Use only 30% of each credit card maximum to show creditors that you are responsible with credit 7. Never pay off collection accounts without negotiating. 8. Self Inquiries do NOT affect your credit score 9. Inquiries from outsiders do affect score 10. Try to reopen closed accounts. So I have alot im working on for this year. 
Im taking 21 credits my last semester and I hope and pray, I bust things out with just about all A's. I NEED to graduate with a minimum gpa of 3.0. Im still contemplating on grad school, but what i want to do, does not require grad school. After school, Im gonna get a job in accounting and also i want to go to cosmetology school learn how to do hair and makeup, I have dreams of giving people makeovers.... seriously. I would be content with doing that and helping others look their absolute best.... Thats my dream it came to me a little late but thats why I wholeheartedly wanna do. So Im working on it! Thats all for now... Peace!!!!! *the makeover pic is from www.terilynn.com not my own.
Business Venture
I am working on a business venture. Its an idea I came up with and I won't speak on it just yet, just doing some consulting and research and brainstorming right now... It sounds great, I just have to do more with it... I will introduce the idea later when I actually start. But thats what I am working on for the summer. I am excited because it combines everything I love into one thing, so this, I should enjoy. Remember like I said, it AINT JUST ABOUT HAIR FOLKS! I think the creation of this blog, my idea, and just needing to grow in general go hand in hand and this couldn't be more perfect. Right now I am working on a business plan and designing logos. So this is about growth right? whether its hair growth, mental, spriritual, emotional growth, that is the purpose of this blog. I vow to keep up with this blog as often as possible, and I will have this blog for years to come. This is my committment. We are on a journey remember?
