Hey y'all! I'm Nina, and The GirlBook is all about my loc journey, self-care, relationships, beauty, money talk, and social commentary.

I am *not* a professional loctician. Just some who's maintained her own locs for 6 years :-)

    I have starter locs that are interlocked. Hair is 4c. Two to three inches short. My hair literally keeps unravelling no matter what I do. Esp at the back. And it’s hard to not wash often cuz I live in a tropical climate and I sweat thru my scalp ALOT. Idk what to do anymore

    Bedroom snake plant needs to be repotted. Decor is much better than your last space. This bedroom and bath is more organized and clutter on the living area walls.

    This is a beautiful apartment. Not sure why you would give a disclaimer for folk not to share your apartment and then proceed to state that you’re in DC not far from town. It then becomes incredibly easy for folk to search apartments using Google Maps and rental sites that look like yours (based on external images from your video). Maybe be extra cautious about those finer details. Thanks for the stunning tour and be safe. 🌻

    Who is this vexed person?? Your locs - and, yes, they are locs - are gorgeous. I have had locs since 2007 and they are healthy. And, no, I definitely do not wash my hair every day, every week or even every two weeks. And I'm far from nasty. People should mind their own beeswax😊

    I’m moving into my first apartment on my own in a few days so I’m just watching videos for decor and general aesthetic inspiration. I know this is an old video and this is the first video I’ve seen of yours , but I LOVE how you made this apartment look so warm and homey. This is proof that you don’t need a fancy modern place to have a beautiful space. Also, that color is not illegal lol. I chose a lot of woods and greens for my apartment but I’m pulling it together with pops of color with floral decor, towels, etc.

    Do you remember getting “white or pink” spots after? Mines are falling off now but there are now pink/whitish spots in its place. Is this permanent? If not, do you recall how long it took to go away?

    GIRL!! Thank you!! I know this video is 3 years old but I really appreciate this video. I’m so scared to wash my hair myself but I’m tired of spending money on a loctition to do it charging me an arm and a leg. And then they be all rough with it. So thank you!! ☺️

    I have no debts, but I use credit cards. I have 4 cards that have reward points, and I pay them off every month. Once in a while the reward points make a payment for me, so I save a little extra that month.

    I think that this depends heavily on what’s considered enjoyable to an individual…which goes without saying, I know. I feel very rewarded by seeing the numbers go down on my debt. I’m doing a Ramsey-adjacent plan too. I can’t bring myself to stop my 403b contributions or to sell (all of) my crypto. As for the gazelle intensity I will say that at the outset I was due to pay off all but two consumer debts by 1/2025. I got a jolt of determination and now due to have those debts paid by end of March 2024. I think that quarter two of this year I will be instituting the 12-week year as it seems like I rise to the occasion when things are time-limited like that.

    Ths truggle is just for a time ( the first 3 Steps ) then you can break a lil bit. he also said it many times. you don't have to live like that for the rest of your life , but the first steps ( 1- 3 ) allow us to break the cycle and clean up the mess.. But with DEBT , you have no life !!!!
