August 2010, I decided to go Natural. The reason behind this decision was so that I, Ms. Jones, could fall back in love with myself. For years, I have been living according to other people standards. I’ve gained weight and decided that it was time for me to make changes with my weight, along with my overall appearance. My goal is to do my BC by April, but no later than June. My last relaxer was August 2010; therefore, I have been relaxer free for eight complete months. As a kid (young adult) I would normally get relaxers about every three to four months. When I got older, I would get them every six weeks.
