just being real in my satin cap. 1.

About me!
Well hello! Happy New Year! Welcome to my Steemit. I’m Amelia. I’m 26. I am a tea lovin’, natural hair product collecting, and soon-to-be mom of a Great Dane. I’m from Massachusetts, however I hate the winters. Like absolutely hate it but somehow, some unexplainable way I always get pulled back here. Like a magnet that can’t seem to pull itself off of the surface of a brand new stainless steel refrigerator. But here I am trying to figure out life, living in a place where the cold hurts my face.

Just a quick shot of our backyard at the moment.

@heyitsjooo's first snowman we made together!

My Educational Background
I have a Bachelors of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a background in Emergency Medical Services and Management. I embark on a Masters Degree program next month. I have a few other certifications and unique skills that I’ll catch y’all up on at a later time. Otherwise life is rolling along.

Why Satin Caps?
While my girlfriend (@heyitsjooo) finally convinced me to join the Steemit community and after many, many attempts at creating a profile name, I finally settled on something I liked, something that is part of my life. Considering I’m part African American/Native American and part Mexican, I’m sure you can only imagine what this mixture of hair would look like if I didn’t tame it every night. Satin caps are everything. They are a simple, inexpensive, yet vital hair accessory to any “natural-hair-lista”. My life without a satin cap would be unpredictable and dreadful. I have natural hair and I love it. It’s wild and crazy and curly and I’m okay with that.

#dogmom
Yes I plan on being that dog mom who takes too many pictures of their furry child and has to capture every moment on video. My girlfriend and I are adopting a Great Dane puppy and we couldn’t be more excited. While Joana didn’t necessarily want a Great Dane (a.k.a. miniature horse and so-called gentle giants), I did and she finally gave in! So here goes nothing! After weeks of picking out the perfect name, the cutest puppy clothing and accessories, toys, collars, food/training treats, etc. I think we can officially say we are ready (or maybe we aren't, not 100% sure) but wish us luck! So stay tuned for milestone pictures, videos, dog treat recipes, etc.!

I’m here because….
I invite you to join me on this next adventure! I hope to make y’all laugh, share some sort of life experiences and cliché motivational quotes, my daily hair struggles, and of course you’ll be hearing all about my Great Dane. I also enjoy photography so I will be posting lots of pictures on here! So come through! Stick around, don’t be shy and say hi (so did not intend to make that rhyme but I’m keeping it).

Welcome to my satin cap life.
