And oh my God y'all, the people that I travel with are so nice. Everybody's so cool. We're going to be here for a good little minute. And y'all, why did my laptop break? Like what? This? Like what? So this thing I got my work done before I even made it on a plane. But it's been a long day. Long travel day. I'm just so happy to be here. So happy to be in the motherland. So happy to be bringing in 2024 with the whole Topicals team and then the team and then everybody that they brought together. So I have to get ready. I have to jump in the shower real real quick. They're trying to leave at 10 30 because everyday people ends at 1 a.m. And also I want to get my hair done tomorrow. So, but we outside and I got to shake my legs too. So let me go ahead and get ready. And I'm going to check in with y'all once I get dressed. So this is Topicals gone to Ghana day one. So I just have on this wool for two dress y'all. So hot here. My Hermes slides. And I just got I'm going to wear this so I can just wear across body. You know the vibes. And then I have all my pants and good glasses. And then I just slicked down my edges and put this headband on. And it's super cute. But yeah we're outside and the body is glistening. And then y'all need to go get the slick salve. It's so good. But I'm just going to vlog off my phone if it allows me to. But yeah. So Ghana night one. And I'm about to go get my hair braided. It's about six to eight. There's a driver downstairs hopefully to take me. Oh matter of fact let me look up the hair braiding spot. Y'all look at my window and look how human it is outside. But I'm about to go get my hair braided by Tilly's first of all. I charged too much in a miracle. So and I also wanted to just get that experience out here. Alright so this one I'm going. It said it's closed. But I DM'd her. And she said they open at like six a.m. Make sure. Yeah. Six a.m. Monday to Monday. Anyways so let's go get our hair braided. And I'm super excited. So let's go. So obviously y'all can see my hair is beautiful. So I was in there for 12 hours. Literally so long. The longest I probably ever got my hair done. 12 hours just sitting there straight. Like I really thought the girls at Tilly double teaming you on their head. So I'm like oh I'm going to be in and out. It's probably going to take like five hours maybe. Oh my god my camera's not in. But yeah basically I was in there. And then got done. Finished. And then y'all my hair cost 2300 CD. That's what they take out here in Ghana. And that's like 190 in American dollars. Which is cool. Because my hair is super full. She took her time. Neat. And also they would charge an arm and a leg. A thousand dollars for this hairstyle. In a like crazy. Like Houston or that. And also she really earned it. I'm going like they in there. It's literally like hair. Central braiding. Like literally down. She deserved it. She literally worked her ass off. Even though she took all day. She didn't want to rush. Like I was telling her like oh my god I got somewhere to be. But I actually didn't. I missed the dinner. But I really didn't feel bad. Because Alameda was getting her hair done. Which is the CEO of Topicals. So I actually met up with her. She's so cool. Y'all gorgeous. Like gorgeous girl. And so yeah she got me KFC. We ate. And then we went to the Afro future. And we got so lived. So much fun. So now it's about to be part two. Because Y'all know Ghana doesn't really end into like 5am. And I low key got a Pilates thing in the morning. And a massage. I might go today. I ain't go home too. So. But we're supposed to be heading downstairs in like an hour. I need to relay my edges. But yeah it's about it. So. But I'll definitely give you all the vibes on. My iPhone. Because I'm not bringing my vlog camera. Absolutely. The fuck.

And the other car was going to go to the hotel. All the kids was like. Just sitting there. I'm like bro. Like of course they want money and donation whatever. But they was being aggressive. Let me tell you. They. We were in a car. It was seven, eight kids on our car. Attached to our car. Yeah I gave that guy. That little boy like 50 CD. Outside the club. But I thought that was just going to be one child. But he was selling guns. So I'm like okay. He's selling something. But the other ones. They were. Bro is this really happening right now? And then okay. So then we had to wait for the car. We had to wait for the other car to come to Uber. So they literally followed us up and down the street. And it's a gang of them. Like damn.
