SCFBW-Bubble Baths and Natural Hair

Not everyone enjoys taking a bath, nor wearing their natural hair, for their own reason(s). But, they both have some positive benefits. Even if you only take 5-15 minutes, because that’s when the water will begin to get colder, taking a bath will free you of the days stress. And wearing your hair natural is not such a foreign thing, like it used to be. I challenge you to do one of the two things or both, and see if you can feel the difference. Radical self care is a must.
