I have been a straight natural for about 1.5 years and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon. I find it much easier than the curly fros I use to wear and my hair has retained way better length than before. That being said it does get expensive to pay for silk presses very often. I do my hair at home sometimes, but it doesn’t come out as fresh and nice as the salon obviously. My issue is with my roots. They frizz pretty fast and i hate when they sweat out. It’s worse when I do my hair at home cause im not able to achieve that silky straight look I love. I’m thinking about a texture release and wanted opinions. My goal is to have my hair to be easier to straighten at home and I’m looking for that silky straight look. I have thick 3C hair that usually straightens out really well, but in its natural state it’s super thick and hard to blow dry (myself). Has anybody experienced getting a texture release? Any cons? Damage?

want to get my boyfriend a really nice watch. My budget is in the $1000 range. I’m not sure where to start or what is considered a nice watch. He has no watches for me to base off of. He does wear a very nice Portuguese gold chain with a cross usually, but no other jewelry. I think a watch with a gold tone would be best. Something he could wear to accessorize when we go out. Any ideas??

I feel insanely stuck at bedside and I’m trying to come up with some sort of getaway plan without going back to school. I am already 50k in debt and cannot afford another degree, but would potentially consider a certificate of some sort that would help. I have 3 years of medsurg experience, currently 1 year travel nurse experience. I also have school nurse and ambulatory experience. I feel depressed and stuck to think the only way I am able to make enough money to keep me comfortable is at the bedside. I am already feeling burnt out. I would love to leave, but most outpatient jobs I have encountered pay significantly less. If anybody has scored any great jobs outside the hospital that keeps them comfortable, I’d love to hear what it is and how you did it.

Thank you!
