knot in a million hairs (not in a million years)

A knot in a million hairs adds an element of surprise. When you are wearing a heavy dress similar to mine, pull your hair back into a knot. This ensures a more polished yet funky look.

On a totally different note, those who follow my blog know that I try to sneak a life moral into my posts. Today's not-so-sneaky moral is the following:

Not in a million years are you supposed to meet the friends that you meet. But, you know what? From all of the millions of people you could potentially build bonds with, you end up friends with those who are meant to be. Each friend, good or bad, is placed in your life to help you grow. 

You might have a friend who consistently puts you and others down. Don't worry, it's not you. It's them. This friend puts you down because of their own insecurities. This friend belittles you because they see you as a threat. This person talks behind your back because they are fueled with jealousy. In the end, this person will teach you to flaunt your own insecurities. And finally, they will teach you that it's okay to let go of the toxic people in your life.

You will meet more friends who are a positive force than a negative fury. These positive friendships will show you how to forgive others. They will help you count your blessings. They will teach you to see the good in others. And most importantly, good friends will empower you to fly high and reach for your dreams. Not in a million years were you supposed to meet such good friends. But, you know what? You did! So remember, never let those friends go.
