Ironic, tomorrow night I'm leaving on a road trip to Toronto for Carabana (largest West Indian Carnival in North America) and I have no hair appointment that I need to get to, I am not worried about a fresh perm, I'm not worried about what my hair is going to look like when I get there, I'm just not worried about my hair AT ALL!!! Even more so, I just put some cornrows in and I may go to work with them tomorrow and keep them in until I get to the hotel. Wohoo!!!
There are countless vacations I have gone on that I had to prep my hair the night before, or get home after midnight from a hair appointment on a weekday, but because of my SL's I have no concern about any of this!!! On the ride, I can afford to put my head back, take a nap, and wake up and shake and go. I cannot express how great the feeling is that the only thing I need to worry about is the clothes and shoes that I need to pack. SL's are really a lifestyle, because by having them your lifestyle changes and this is just a testament of that.
Its so funny that for the years that I contemplated getting SL's it was because of styling options and whats so funny now is that I barely style my hair. I find myself freestyling and just pulling a bobby pin or clip out and that's it. Just very interesting how we get hung up on the simple things!

How true...you post is right on point about being hung up on the little things.
Caribana? T&T Carnival? Are you an island girl at heart or have you hidden ancestry? I am very jealous - cos right now it's just cold and rainy (and boring!)
Ain't it great to have one less thing to worry about? I hope you have a fantastic weekend :)
@Nihu - we are our own worst enemy sometimes.
@Bajan Lily - yes Trini ancestry (Mom and Dad) and I love to party so the culture fits well (smile)... Don't be too jealous I'm sure in the next few months I will be jealous of the weather over in the UK.
Have fun. I know what you mean about the hair issues before sisterlocks. I have mine for 5 weeks now and I too enjoy the freedom. Can't see myself going back.
