A Cita Life

I started this post to tell you about my current hairstyle, my box braids. I am super happy with how they turned out! This is the first time I've done box braids and on myself to boot. I know some of you may read this like so and what's the big deal? Or I do that all the time lame! Well, for me it's a big deal. I come from a household where all I know how to do is a bun and a ponytail. Here's a little back story on why then maybe you'll understand. My mom always did my hair up to a certain point in my life like I couldn't even wash my own hair. One time I had to take a bath and sneak and do it! You talking about a person so happy to wash their own hair! She use to wash, blow dry, clip ends, and braid our hair so we wouldn't have to go to the shop. (For all my non black readers the shop is a term we use for the beautician/hairdresser.) Plus, I don't think she could afford to send two girls to get their hair done.

Welcome to an all new A Cita Life page! I have updated the look of  my blog which  I am super in love with! I just wanted to take the time to reintroduce myself. Hi, my name is Felicita.

Check out my #acitalife on Instagram and Twitter to see all the things I'm into that makes up me! I am embarking on a new journey that I am super excited about!

We wanted to start this channel where we would/could talk candidly for women, let Tisha tell you specifically women of color but, if you ask me to help people ...

Actually, I wanted to spend the extra time with my family but I was slightly concerned with going back earlier in attempts on moving up the corporate ladder. I decided to take a step back to raise my family. I found out that a position that I wanted wasn't even available became available and was filled. I've always felt like in the business corporate world I didn't belong. But, I constantly tried and forced it to work. I worked hard really hard for some people that did not care about me or my well being but yet and still I continued to work hard. But, it never really gotten me anywhere. Why keep trying at something when people don't give a shit about you? Fear of failure. Failure that despite all my efforts I couldn't gain that promotion or that position. So, I wou...
