When curly hair shrinks that means its healthy and will continue to grow (even if it doesn’t seem like it), but when you and I shrink we don’t reach our potential and it may even stunt our growth (even if it doesn’t seem like it)…..”

Hi my name is Sable and I am honored to share my perfectly imperfect journey with you! When I started my brand I wanted it to be a combination of my profession and my passion. I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), working as a non-profit financial auditor and I am obsessed with all things curls! With their powers combined “Curls of a CPA” was born!

I am multi-textured in every way! I have a range of type 4 curls (if you are into hair typing), medium to coarse strands, medium to high density, and low to medium porosity curls. I am passionate about hair care, I am a product junkie (no judgement zone lol), but I also love excel and preparing financial statements haha.

In this blog and on my channel you will find content about natural hair, beauty, health, lifestyle and any YouTube/social media secrets I learn along the way! I call it a journey because, just like you probably are, I’m still figuring things out. My commitment is to share as I learn so that we can journey together.

I knew it was time to start a blog when I was running out of space in my YouTube description boxes! It hit me that I had more to share but I didn’t want to make my videos any longer than they already are lol I found myself researching blog sites and even built a couple of them before settling on WordPress (not sponsored haha). On my 30th birthday I purchased the domain curlsofacpa.com and waited almost 2 months before setting the site up (hides in shame lol).

Other than those personal reasons, I also figured this could be a good supplement to my channel and a hub of resources for my audience. Sometimes you just need to see something in ink or save an article for later and digest it bite by bite, line by line and I wanted to provide that environment. I am new to this blogging world but I am super excited to bring you all on the journey!

So here I am, taking a leap and pushing fear to the side and forcing myself to not shrink but START SCARED! This morning as I was thinking about this blog the thought came to my mind “When curly hair shrinks that means its healthy and will continue to grow (even if it doesn’t seem like it), but when you and I shrink we don’t reach our potential and it may even stunt our growth (even if it doesn’t seem like it)…” Brief commercial: if you use my quote make sure you quote me hahaha but whatever you are afraid of, take it from me (the chief shrinker), don’t shrink and take a chance on yourself and your vision.

As time goes on I will continue making incremental changes to this website but I want this to be a safe place for all of us so if you have any questions just hit the Contact tab and I got you! If you find anything informative, entertaining or interesting make sure you share and subscribe! And as always take care and I’m sending you peace, love and good vibes!

  1. I’ll go first, my motto for 2020 and 2021 (and probably the rest of my life) will be “Don’t Shrink!” I hope that hits home with whoever is reading this!

  2. I absolutely love this. Your quote hit the nail on the head. We can’t grow if we are shrunken by our fears for real. I needed this word on this fine Sunday evening! I am one to always step out and walk in my purpose, but I had a injury that caused me to develop 2 pain syndromes. It is very debilitating, and has caused a set back for me physically for a few years now. What they always say, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. I have been bursting with ideas and projects that it’s frustrating because I’m physically limited (mind you…I’m not one to let anything get in my way so you must know it’s bad). I am making a point of duty that the devil is not gonna win. Come 2021, things will materialize! Even if it means starting in this format first or doing the channel with my daughters help. But this post definitely pushed me even further. I’m glad I came over and read this post. It makes me respect what you are doing even more. Shower of blessings on you fam!

    1. KAREN!!! I am sending you virtual hugs right now!! I remember a time when I was held back from pain and limited movement so I can relate to what you are saying. I am over-joyed to inspire you. Like that is my souls desire! One thing that I learned is that its ok to ask for help and I’m so happy you have your daughter there to help you. 2021 is your year girl! Take some time to document all your goals, share them with your daughter, and make a timeline. The timeline is not something that will be set in stone but just as a guide to hold you accountable. Let me know if you have any questions along the journey and I will share what I have. You got this! Praying that you get some relief along the journey

      1. Thanks hun! I receive it in Jesus name! I actually did a vision board for 2020 last year. I am very goal/task oriented. It’s the manager in me (Accounting was my first love too btw). However, I haven’t been able to have treatment at the hospital since last year August. The story long…lol. My journey is really one for the books. Probably you may hear or read about It one of these days. But basically, it has decreased my functionality tremendously. Abi (my daughter) was really a great help for real, but she is out of parish at university now. My mom is my caregiver. Yes, the hardest part was receiving help because I’m such an independent person, but I had to come to terms with it. Especially when I was made medically redundant. As I’m writing, all that I mentioned since evening is in faith. Even when I did the vision board it was from a place of faith because there are days that l can’t even type or move my limbs. When I tell you head to toe is affected even my internal organs. I will keep on pushing until my body lines up with my will and spirit. I believe my miracle is around the corner 🙏🏽. I live by faith and not by sight even when the situation is saying I should do otherwise ☺️. Even when the medical reports say one thing, God is able! I share this with you, not because I share this with everyone, but for you to know you are not a stranger and just like how your desire is to touch someone’s life…I hope I’ll be able to touch yours as well. No matter what adversity we may face in life, there is hope as long as we are still breathing 🙏🏽 (Lawd…what a way mi response long 🤦🏽‍♀️! So sorry…I’m a talker too with the right person) Nuff blessing I’m sending your way. Have a great week and continue to be safe!
