Okay maybe more than a year and 
there are so many reasons I stayed away from blogging. Where do I start 
from?&lt;br /&gt;
I will start with my health which had been the first reason
 I stopped writing here. Not going to go into details about that but I 
can truly say I am grateful for each day I wake up strong.&lt;br /&gt;
Second
 reason: I got reaaaaally tired of my hair. The things I had to do in 
order to retain length was starting to become a very tedious chore.I got
 fed up and annoyed at the effort I had to put into styling my hair and 
the fact that it would rebel and all my efforts would just go poof by 
mid-day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Natural hair is a lot of work. Enough said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So I got a relaxer....&lt;br /&gt;
There, I said it. I danced with the devil and I loved it. Still loving it.&lt;br /&gt;
No,
 I didn&#39;t make a mistake. I thought about it for days and decided it is 
what I want. So do I miss my kinky hair? Hmmm...sometimes but I am happy
 and my hair is so much easier to manage and that&#39;s what matters right?&lt;br /&gt;
Third
 reason, I wanted to do something different. Share other things than 
just hair. Beauty products, make up, lifestyle (maybe), so I have 
decided to start afresh with another blog on another platform because I messed up my template on blogger and i have absolutely no idea on how to fix it. So am taking the easy way out. Cheesy right? I know.&lt;br /&gt;
So the sad news is this will be the last post on this blog. And the good news is you can head over to my new site&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-mce-href=&quot;http://www.socalledchic.wordpress.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.socalledchic.wordpress.com/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for more posts.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank
 you all for taking the time to read what I have posted here previously.
 I hope I continue to inspire you in other areas apart from hair as 
well.&lt;br /&gt;
See you at the other side 😉&lt;br /&gt;
Xoxo.&lt;br /&gt;
