@@Ivy-Woods thank you!

@@ChipsCST it’s absolutely possible, but imo learning Japanese is essential to enjoying living here. I lived here by myself for four years with only survival level Japanese and I didn’t enjoy it really and wanted to (and ultimately did) leave. The majority of people who come to Japan end up leaving after some time and I would say language ability, cultural differences, and difficulty of job hunting will be factors regardless of if you have a partner or not

@@thepeonyvillage9637 yeah luckily he embraces my love for pink! He will even suggest that we should get new pink items cause he knows I’ll like that🥰

@@kymcci9499 I appreciate it!💖

I love box braids, and I've found that the general option is truly split. Some of the African heritage feel that it's okay as long as you realize your privilege, as professional women are often stigmatized for wearing braids in the working environment. CC Mink talks a lot about how braids and bonnets are about hair care, not race, which I love. But I do agree that, as a white woman, I do need to realize the struggles my colored sisters have when they wear the same hair styles and are stigmatized for it.

Thank you, I don’t remember how many I used for these braids but in general I use 5-6 strands per braid
