Self Care & My Revelation After A Trip to the Hair Salon

Last week I went to the hair salon after work. Let me preface it by saying it was DESPERATELY needed. The natural hair struggle is real, and topped with NYC’s winter weather? My hair was feeling like STRAW. So I was definitely overdue for an appointment and I knew I needed to just go and get it done. I have scheduled hair appointments over and over again but then cancelled for one reason or another because truthfully, I feel like it takes too long and I would rather be home with my kids. But I’m trying to develop better habits this year so in my head I was all “TREAT YOURSELF TANAY! SELF CARE!”.

SELF CARE!

Because the reminder to take care of yourself, not even as a mother but just as a woman is in your face EVERYWHERE. But as I sat in the salon I didn’t feel like I was doing a good thing for me. I honestly only felt anxiety. I kept thinking about the million other things I could be doing with the hours of my time that I spent washing and steaming and trimming my hair. I wondered what my kids were doing. I wondered if my boyfriend was getting enough rest before he had to head to work. I just didn’t feel good!

The hair salon (though needed) is NOT self care for me. I like naps. I like to read. I enjoy going to the movies and eating is probably my favorite thing to do. I feel like all of these things I would’ve been much happier doing instead of sitting there. Now don’t get me wrong my hair looks and feels amazing! But I can’t let anyone else definite what self care should be for me.

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.

@colorfactoryco is all dressed up for fall! We got a preview of ‘haunted hues’ and the kids loved the scavenger hunt where they had to find all the monsters! The installations are similar but the fall feels make it even more exciting! Plus we had some spooky friends join us in the ball pit! And of course.. there were treats!! 😋

If you’re looking for something to take the kids to this fall in the NYC area, I’d definitely check The Color Factory out! Ticketing info is at the link in their bio. Thank you @colorfactoryco for having us!

This villa literally had everything we needed for our trip. From a full primary suite to an extra room with double beds the suite was absolutely amazing. The balcony also had an amazing view and when you stay in the villas at Caribe Royale they have their own pool section in case you don’t want to head to the main pool. 

I’ve always been a fan of suites for family trips but this was perfect for our girls trip too! Are you team suite or team hotel room?

Thank you again to the team at @cariberoyaleorlando for hosting us!
