Baby steps into blog-dom.

I have been wanting to start a blog for a LONG time. I have many interests and thoughts, most of them coherent, and I figured that I should start documenting them. So here I am, fulfilling my dreams and what not. Narcissus, meet your match.

Let's get serious. The real reason behind my sudden start is this: as a recent graduate I feel the need to somehow occupy my time while also convincing myself that 6 years of education (read: many, many dollars) have not gone to waste. We'll see how that goes.

In any case, for my first post I thought I would share what has been on my mind lately - HEAD WRAPS.

Turbans, scarves, Carmen Miranda, Erykah Badu, June Ambrose, beautiful HEAD WRAPS. Whatever you want to call them, and to whomever you want to attribute this new fashion craze, there is no denying that the head wrap is IN.

Lucky for me, I've been wearing hijab since I was 5 years old, so I've got it covered. (Hahaha, did you catch the pun there?!)

In any case, I've been trying my hand at some different turban-inspired head wrap styles, and I have to say that I am most pleased.

Here is a picture of me trying out the Afrocentric look. I found some rather helpful tutorials on YouTube that show how to get this look. You'll need a scarf of stiffer material to get the height, not the usual pashminas that most of us hijabis use on a daily basis.

And so there it is, my first blog post. To all those who read it, I thank you for taking your time and I hope it was worthwhile.
