Do It Yourself

Do It Yourself

Hey y'all,

box braids

How many of you had to do things that required a professional to do? Thinks like doing your hair (braids, hair dye, etc), or house renovation, or fixing a car?

Living in the United States has taught me quite a few things. The cost of having things done professionally has caused many of us to do them by ourselves. I have become pretty good at crocheting, box braiding and hair dye. But what got my attention is when my brother-in-law fixed a friend's car that would have probably cost her $200+ to fix, or when he fixes things around the house. All he does is buy home renovation materials, and voila, him + YouTube = professionally done renovations. 

I am not saying we should all do this, noooo, if you can afford to pay a professional to do things for you, by all means do (especially if you have no interest whatsoever in learning to do things). But if you are one of those challenge takers, then go right ahead, buy yourself some building materials and start building what your heart desires. 

DIY is a good way to test the limits of your creativity. Try it!!
