The Diary Game (21-10-2024): A Day Dedicated for Self-care

Running a business is one of the must challenging field of life, the daily inflation rate is getting discouraging and frustrating for both buyers and sellers.

Final look

In the midst of all these, people are surviving by using different coping mechanisms that suits their financial status.

I was left with a deep thought about the economy situation of the world after my experience on 21 October, 2024.

Economic activities has been part of our lives and we can't put an end to that. I will share in details about my experience while I was carrying out my economic activities.

I dedicated this day (21-10-2024) for self-care, I needed to do complete hair braiding, although it is not what I do often because of the economic situation and the pains that comes with the process.

Attachments: I love to use lush brand because of its shiny and smooth texture

I got dressed at 8:30am and prepared to step out. The weather was fair enough to have a positive feelings. I packed up my phone, charger and attachment for braiding of hair.

Purchasing items now comes with mood swings and it surprising how everything changed so fast. For better understanding, I will share the previous and current prices of things purchased and the services. This comparison of price is between one year ago and now.

Price of hair attachment

Current price	previous price
#3,500 (11.7 steem) per pack	#1,200 ( 4 steem)

Before washing and braiding

I got to the salon, showed and described my hair style to the stylist and she told me her bills for the services. Good thing she was kind enough to state that her prices were negotiable. We concluded with;

Services	Current price	Previous price
Washing and drying of hair	#2,000 (6.7 steem)	#700 (2.4 steem)
Braiding of hair	#5,500 (16.7 steem)	#3,500 (11.7 steem).

Drying process

I told her to start immediately because time wasn't on my side. Other customers were there, she attended to me when it got to my turn. I washed and dried my hair first.

I also applied some hair treatment before braiding.

At noon, I was hungry so I stepped out to purchase biscuits and continue with the braiding.

Lunch

I purchased this biscuit for just #100 (0.4 steem). It's just a simple snacks for pleasure not to satisfy hunger.

Braiding process

The hair was really taking time because of the style, I got tired and drained.

Styling process

She finished the braiding section and started styling with rollers. After which she proceeded to putting the hairs in hot water.

At 8:00pm, she was done with everything; braiding, trimming and styling.

I made payment and rushed home because it was getting late. This was how I spent my day on 21-10-2024. Thank you!
