Skin Update: Change is coming!

Hey Mocha Family,

I am more than a week into weaning myself off of the proactive. Initially I thought of going cold turkey like the aesthetician recommended, but after careful consideration, I realized that a lot of her advice could be sales pitch. She had a line ready to sell me.

I will definitely keep ya'll posted!

Be blessed!

I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b...
