TIP OF THE DAY!!

 I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!!

 

Tip of the Day: Cuticle oil. The skin around your nail bed- "cuticles" can get very dry, and it can also cut the life of your fresh manicure in 1/2. Try using a cuticle oil, every night before bed. Just take your finger and rub directly on the cuticle-no need to wash off. If you've got super dry cuticles, try sleeping with some white cotton gloves-for intense moisture! I like using Coconut oil, I love the way it smells, and has so many other uses! But you can use any cuticle cream you like, check your local drugstore!! But be consistent!

2012 World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show

Okay ~so my first trip to a Hair Show was Phenomenal!! I attended the Taliah Waajid Natural Hair Show in Atlanta with my besties!! Let me just say that it was FANTASTIC! It is so inspiring and enriching to see so many beautiful Black women, with their own Natural hair, just hanging out and enjoying each other.

So we arrived Friday afternoon, went to dinner and drinks, and prepared ourselves for what we knew would be an overwhelming day. We arrived at the convention (within walking distance from the hotel) and saw these huge lines for “checking in”. I am so glad that we purchased our tickets on line, as the line to buy that day was CRAZY!!

Do you remember the scene in Trading Places when Eddie Murphy and Dan Akryod, enter onto the trading floor, and there was so much activity? This was just like that, once we walked through the doors! There were so many people, so many booths and cameras and action! People doing hair, fashion shows, teeth whitening (wouldn’t recommend), people selling jewelry, hair products, bath and body products, clothes, free samples, extremely discounted products~ Just unbelievable!

We purchased tickets to go into the workshops, but never made it. We spent all of our time on the trade show floor. We took a break for lunch and then went back. Some of your old favorites were there~ Shea Moisture www.sheamoisture.com , Jane Carter www.janecartersolution.com , Dr. Miracles www.drmiracles.com . And some new faces Feng Shui Organics,   www.fengshuiorganics.com  Lodie Locks www.lodielocks.com   , Urbanbella www.urbanbella.com . It is really something you need to experience. If you are “Transitioning” this is where you need to be. I found some serious jewelry from Anu  http://www.anurockmetal.com/, and amazing “Kick Butt “  fashions from www.Flavafashioncafe.org .

MY NEW EARRINGs!

One of my favorite spots was Camille Rose Naturals! (I went back 3 times)! I purchased 3 of her Lemon Meringue Body Butters~WHAT?! That’s what I said Lemon Meringue Body Butter. I have not stopped putting it on since I brought it on Saturday (It’s now Friday!) I love this stuff, I can’t stop smelling myself! www.camillerosenaturals.com

So in conclusion (for now anyway)-I had never gone to a hair show before, all that HYPE was not for me! But I have to say that it was pure pleasure to see all these Natural Sisters in one place and just enjoying each other. You truly missed something great if you didn’t attend. BUT WAIT, there is an upcoming one in October 2012. That’s right on October 6^th and 7^th you can head out to Atlanta to let your Natural  Self shine!!
