The Journey Continues... Welcome to HHH!

Welcome to Hair, Health and Heart! I hope you all are doing great and thank you so much for checking out my blog. I'm so excited to launch this blog because there's just so much that I want to share with you guys. My name is Ayanna and as per the name of my blog, I will be focusing mostly on my hair. It's been a journey and a half to say the least, but I'm so excited to share my year-long transition and what I've done to go from this...
 to this!
I will also be sharing parts of my lifestyle from wellness to beauty and everything in between. First, allow me to tell you a little about myself. 

I am a proud Virgin Islands native from the gorgeous island of St. Thomas. Whenever I explain to people where the Virgin Islands is located, I tend to use Puerto Rico as a point of reference so just think of us as neighbors. We're a territory of the United States, only with much better beaches and friendlier people. I was born here and grew up surrounded by year-round sunny weather until I was about ten years old. 

In the summer of 2005 before my 11th birthday I moved to Malden, Massachusetts with my siblings. It was the biggest adjustment I had to make but my middle school and high school years on the mainland turned out to be the best 8 years of my young life. However, one thing that never agreed with me was the cold weather. As an island child, I was used to the warm climate of the Virgin Islands. Fast forward to 2012 and I hightailed it back to St. Thomas where I started my first year of college. I mean, how can you not want to live here? 
If you came for the hair, you've come to the right place! I have been officially natural since mid-November after transitioning for almost 13 months. Thanks to my lovely aunt and her gift of the Midas Touch, she kept my hair in beautiful protective styles while helping me to retain as much length as possible. 

I'll be posting details about my hair journey and my current hair regimen in a few days. And just so you have an idea of what to expect...
You can follow me on Instagram at yanaelizabeth2394, and I will be making a Facebook page for this blog very soon but it's just going to be called Hair, Health & Heart. Thank you for reading and I'll be back with another post soon!
