I’ve been weaved, wigged, pressed, relaxed, braided, updo’d, colored, bobbed, etc. You name it, I’ve done it, however, my most recent experience with chopping it…

Recently, my coworker sparked a major debate in my office. He asked the ladies, what our thoughts were regarding women offering to pay on dates. He felt that if the guy is dating a woman for a certain period of time, that she, at some point, should offer to pay for dinner or offer to…
