As The Wind Blows

Happy Holidays Everyone!     I have the pleasure of beginning a series this month featuring some of my favorite bloggers,  their Holiday styles and their  "Must Haves" for the season.  This series will be every Thursday in December until the end of the year and will be combined with my Holiday Giveaway! So excited...How about you? First up is a sooooo fabulously chic blogger, Tikisha, of Kandidkoilz.onsugar.com who will always leaves us with a few smooches. I continue to read her blog because she keeps me up with the latest make-up and style trends. I love her boldness, sense of humor and her no excuses attitude.... This holiday season she has decided to get "Damned" by the ladies of the Damn Salon with City Twists and I'll be damned if I'm not a little jealous.  @kandidkoilz ,on twitter, has decided to style her hair in an updo for the season's events. Styling these twists couldn't be easier, no pins requir...

I had the pleasure of choosing a beautiful handmade accessory from  Sasha, the owner and creator of So Knotty . Her online store is full of beautiful designs that is sure to fit every personality and style.  The unique  pieces are a  must have for  trendy ladies looking for one of a kind addition to add to  their  winter wardrobe.  I love the softness, the way I was able to manipulate the strands individually to create fullness or to elongate and the color.  The company is an eCommerce that is based in Atlanta, Georgia but this is definitely not just  a "southern thing". I find myself excited about the cooler temperatures just so I can rock this So Knotty creation more & more. Have you tried So Knotty? What about other hand-made creations? Tell me what you think! Make sure you check out the site and let her know I sent ya...You never know, you may receive VIP treatment.....  http://soknotty.storenvy.com Please leave a comment, I...

There are two major reasons I love to shop...A great deal and supporting small businesses! I've reached out to some of my favorite businesses to get the 411 on the great bargins they will have on their products! I plan to use my free FedEx American Express gift card to pick me up some goodies, and I want you to get some too! Small business is the core of America and especially the Natural Hair Community so we need to support each other as much as possible! Save your shopping until Black Friday , Small Business Saturday & Cyber Monday ...November 25- 27 ... Continue to support these companies & tell your friends to do so as well. .... I will also include some businesses that are larger but place a lot of support to the concerns of the natural hair community. *Check each description  for the discount dates, rules & restrictions.* Rachel Stewart Jewlery ....Bold, Empowering & just plain FLY! Her jewlery can help you go from "seen" to "remembered". ...

 I decided to try the Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter & Argan Oil w/Sea Kelp & Avocado Oil Repair & Transition Kit on my daughter Tia.  The results were positive! Check out the video below and tell me what you think! Thanks for watching! **Kit was purchased 11/9/11..the sale has ended** Note: Tia has been wearing braids with extensions and the results were after I removed them the previous day.  It was a great treatment, the braids were going back in within 2 days .

I had the pleasure of corresponding with Tasha, the owner and operator of Belle Butters LLC , and decided to review  her organic butters. I selected the Mango Moisture Butter for face & the Shea-Mango Fluffy Butter for hair/body to try.  Lets begin with the Mango face butter ...My first impression was doubt..I wasn't fond of the smell and didn't think it would really make a difference for me.... WELL...I was wrong! The smell wasn't my favorite but it didn't linger.  I washed my face and used the butter as a night moisturizer first. I loved the way it felt, creamy and thick but not too thick.  My face instantly glowed and looked hydrated but I tried to not fall into the placebo effect.  I continued to use the butter in the morning the next day and nightly/daily for three more days.  I loved it.  I didn't have any allergic reactions, my face was soft and hydrated and i truly felt the butter enhanced my skin.  When i used the mango butte...

Hey ladies & gents..I was checking out one of my fellow bloggers and read a post titled "The Biggest Loser" Challenge.  I read further and Bree of The Mane Source was on a mission to lose some unwanted baby weight and she wanted to bring her readers on the journey with her.  I was inspired but not really (eating Arbys as I read) until I say a PRIZE! No it wasn't the desire to have a healthy body, live longer or fit my clothes it was the chance to win $200 in cash and prizes!   So sad but Don't Judge Me LOL! I decided that I would share this challenge with you guys! Now don't get me wrong, I hope to be the winner but I will also feel like a winner if its one of you guys.. .So here's the details (taken from her blog): Here’s what what you need to do: Weight/measure yourself and take before pics Monday’s will be our official weigh-in days. Try to weigh yourself when you first wake, in the buff, AFTER you’ve gone to the potty for the most accurate weight. E...

The natural ladies stepped out this weekend in Huntsville, Alabama for two events that allowed sisters to network, discuss hair and have tons of fun.  Candice & Jana of  Knotty and Nice (@kissmycurls) along with Ken Burkeen of Huetiful Steamers set out to paint the town Kinky! The first event was an evening affair at one of the new additions to the beautiful and trendy Bridgestreet Town Center called Watercress .  The restaurant was the setting for great food and drinks that the hosts provided free of charge to all the attendees.  Unfortunately I couldn't attend this event personally (I'm severely allergic to seafood) but my good friend Precious filled in perfectly for me. The kinky, curly & wavy chicas dined on shrimps, crab cakes, fried oysters, kobe beef sliders & fabulous drinks.  The advice was abundant and the atmosphere was welcoming. Day two brought me out of the house and in with the fun! This event added another participate...
