Length Check! →
I made it to APL! The back might be past APL but I’m really bad at taking pictures of the back of my head (go figure) so I had to pull it forwards which probably throws this measurement off. Would you believe me if I said this was a flat twist out? It’s been SO HUMID that I got a stretched out wash and go instead of my usual poof!

Product Review: Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Shampoo →
Carol’s Daughter’s products are pretty hit or miss for me and usually when I get a hit, I don’t want to buy it for myself because I hear my wallet crying as soon as I go “Wow! This is GOOD!”. So, I did not buy this. My aunt let me borrow it because she loved it and wants everyone in the family to try it. I’m 90% sure if I don’t give it back she’ll kill me take it by force.

Lalibella →
Lalibella is the second holiest city in Ethiopia (second to Axum, which I didn’t get to go to because I ran out of grant money ;_;) and is about an hour and 10 minutes by plane north of the city. I wanted to come here because of it’s famous thirteenth century rock hewn churches and because it’s where my grandfather grew up!
