2b/c hair tips

satin hair bonnets at night - reducing friction while you sleep minimises so much frizz if you don't already use one i recommend. they're not too expensive I don't think ?!? shampoo every second wash, co-wash every other wash. I also have a conditioner that i use to wash with, and then a separate leave-in conditioner that has a lighter texture so that my curls don't get weighed down (keeps my hair nice and voluminous). I sometimes dilute my conditioner with water if i feel that it's too heavy. i also wash my hair very sparingly, only when it gets greasy. this might depend on your hair so probably not super useful, but for me, i find that the longer i am able stretch hair washes the better my hair is for it because my hair tends to be on the dry side and wetting it makes it more brittle and dry and more prone to frizz up. especially when i do shampoo washes, as shampoo completely strips my hair and scalp :( No heat if you can help it also this is probably a cringe point to end on but i've found that learning to love the messy nature of my hair has been life changing. figuring out that frizz is not inherently bad has reduced my anxiety around my hair so much and i feel really confident about my hair most days and it's not because i'm using any particularly fancy products. that and i've also found a hair dresser who knows how to cut for my specific hair texture !!!!

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
