Modest, proper money management and more

I had to rethink my standards once again today......I was not happy of what I saw in my quest to becoming a woman of high morals and, understanding myself like a true Christian woman.  I have a hard time sacrificing a few things and learning what is more important but, I have come a long way of trying to be myself and embracing things that I have been overlooking in the past.

My first step was and is modesty which is not as bad as I thought it was but, now I see that there are more and more reasons to keep living a modest existence rather than that of what I thought was cool; I also learned that I don't have to spend a ton of money to make me look good there are other ways of looking my best but, it does not mean that every one is going to accept me for who I am.

My first step is probably going to be my hardest, getting my hair done at a cosmetology school and pay them to do it.  I found three in the nearby area and, I figured that they can do a decent job and this will help me progress on to be a feminine woman and keeping a modest appearance.

The local community college has this price list and, its dreading to think how I will look afterwards.

Empire Beauty School of Greensboro is another one that I am trying to figure out and, its the closest one to home but, they don't do nails only hair so, I am wondering what can they do for me with my hair.

I am wondering what will be my look after a few months of having my hair done and my nails done with these girls because this is going to be a change that I hope is for the better.  This will also help me with the proper money management that has eluded me for many years and, I need to manage money better in unexpected cases as well as expected.  I have been neglectful of the reality that has been in my face for the longest and, it seems that others are not looking at it the same way.

I also need to learn to stick to one thing and put my mind to it and, stop going across the board....when I learn to accept somethings I will be a happier person.
