		<description><![CDATA[In these 12 years of wearing my hair naturally coily, I have gone through a range of emotions about my hair... insecurity, fear, joy, frustration, content, etc.  I've also gone through several phases with my natural hair, such as: times where I was itching to straighten it, times where I've had to regrow my hair from straightening it (tisk tisk), experimenting with stylists (some good, some bad, many terrible), experimenting with styles, product junkyism, being far removed from the natural world to finally bouncing back with a vengeance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SaBrina trains all of her braiders to braid the same way, so you pretty much get who you're assigned to until you build a relationship and know the stylist you want.  The only difference I've ever noticed between the braiders was the level of experience and the ability to work with a tender head--like mine.  But the quality of the braiding was always the same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today (March 8, 2011) marks 100 years of celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.  The reason for this day?  International Women's Day honors the work of the Suffragettes (women who campaigned for the right to vote), celebrates Women's success, and reminds of inequities still to be redressed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was the year I decided to do my own hair journal. I have been interested in the hair journals of others in an attempt to find the ultimate hair regimen that is best for my hair by seeing what others use. Well luckily, I've recently found a few people who have hair that comes close to my own... but not quite. The one person who's hair resembles my hair texture only has a picture journal, but doesn't talk about what products she uses or anything related to her daily haircare.]]></description>
