Essential Official Random Thoughts Thread (Ladies only)

I would love if my daughter's school had a uniform policy, in fact I think all schools should implement one. I wouldn't send my child to school in uniform if it didn't require it though.

I agree, its cost efficient, and cuts down on the kids concerned about who wearing what. So it doesn't distract from learning. Cause school is not a fashion show.

I wore uniforms from 1st to 5th grade. Wasn't a big deal to me, though some kids hate it lol.

If the school my child attends doesn't require the wearing of uniforms. I honestly would still inspire them to wear uniforms, like Monday thru Thursday, and on Friday can wear regular clothes of their choice.

What are your thoughts on home schooling, private and public schools?

Being on the coli has given me a different way of understanding how some men feel about women. I don't know if it is a front or nah... but it is certainly not appealing.

Yeah, I see what you saying. I've haven't heard of Vitamin C lotion, any good?

I make my own vitamin c serum and add it to unscented lotion. I add a lil bit of orange essential oil to give it a nice smell. I make pretty much all of my beauty products.

I learned about making your own oils and stuff in massage therapy school. It was actually pretty cool

Huh

You know some schools only require you to wear khakis and a polo and some schools require you to wear a school issued uniform. What I'm saying is would you just want them to wear the polo and khakis or would you go buy uniform clothes at a school uniform store?

My neighbor (black woman) and I were talking about this a couple of months ago. We live in an predominately white area and there is hardly any fukks given about what children wear to school. I'm talm bout them payless, walmart hook-ups for real. Although we may not agree with the school's curriculum in terms of it not focusing on African American issues, there is peace in knowing the school is an environment for learning and not a fashion show.

I went to Catholic school 1st-5th so I had to wear a uniform, when moved to public school, I actually hated not wearing a uniform because of the pressures of other kids. For one I was fat and back then "husky" clothing was the WORST, secondly I was kind of poor so while I never wore non name brand shoes, I definitely had the generic Nikes that you find in stores like Ross or TJ Maxx for the low.

The areas I'm looking to purchase a house in have very good public school systems. My daughter will at least finish elementary at a public school. I would love to get her into a private school for middle and perhaps a boarding school for high school. I would love if she could do her Junior and Senior years of high school abroad. Ideally, I would like small group homeschooling using the SETCLAE curriculum.

That's natural, that's how I felt the first few months of being here then you realize they're a small small percentage of men who actually think that way.

Sidenote: A lot of them talk a big game doe, learning from personal exp

To me uniforms take the pressure off of children to have what the other kids have. You don't have to keep up with trends spending hundreds of dollars in clothes they can't wear next year because they are "out of style."

My cousins daughters go to a Christian based charter school in Detroit. They wear uniforms and they look sooooooooo sweet in their little rompers.

If you are on your cycle and don't have a feminine hygiene routine you need to stay home. Like seriously call into work if you can't handle your responsibilities.

I went to the school of youtube, google and blogs. But yes it is pretty freaking awesome. Im kinda obsessed. I get more excited at the thought of purchasing supplies for my natural beauty products then buying clothes sometimes. But you save so much money especially considering like food all the natural things are way more expensive then all the chemical filled crap. I have skin allergies and didn't know till i was older. I got tires of spending money at the dermatologists and on prescriptions products that id have to use all the time to keep my issues at bay while also thinning out my skin.
The stuff that i make had worked so much better in helping me out. Just this past month i added tea tree oil to my deep conditioner that i make with aloe juice and different oils. Its been 3 weeks since i washed my hair and no flakes and my hair still smells kinda minty.
Anyway dont get me started on my love pf oils and all things natural i can go on and on and i have to work.
