With all the talk in the world today about the recession and how bad it is and how many peoples its effecting, I'm effected also, and I know all or most of your are being effected even as we speak. If you're not being effected, you know someone or you have a family member that's being effected. You can be effected in many different way's, such as a job loss, hours being cut, wages being cut, demotion, etc. Well, during a time when we all have to budget our dinero's, us women might have to cut some essential things, you know the things that we have to have to be fabulous. OUR HAIR!! The bible calls a woman's hair, her 'glory' and it is that. Fella's you know how you feel when you walk by a beautiful lady with a head of healthy, flowing, shiny hair? Well, us women feel the same way about having that kind of hair, but it can be very expensive, with products and stylists' and all.


I've found one way where we women can keep our hair beautiful and keep a little money in our pockets at the same time. Say bye bye to all of those expensive name and brand products and hi to ALL NATURAL!!! When I say natural, ladie's, I'm not talking about the new green beauty product in your nearest beauty supply, but items that are located in your fridge, pantry and grocery store. It's actually the new thing, with money being so scare for so many. You can provide your hair with equal if not more better quality conditioning, rinsing, moisture, shine and much more, by using all natural products, and the great part is that they don't cost much at all, dollars even.






Upon my search, I found so many homemade recipes to conditioner and hair products, I became lost. I didn't know which one to use or even if it would work on my hair. So I saved all of the recipes and I will use all on my hair to see which one works. Most item's could be found in your kitchen, such as Mayonnaise(real mayo, not salad dressing), Olive Oil, Avocado, etc. So far, I've used the Egg Protein Conditioner. Yes Egg. Despite the potential for grossness, it actually worked and my hair seems to be pretty soft and strong from the treatment. Women has been creating homemade beauty products and remedies for centuries, what's wrong with it? You can make everything from your own shampoo and conditioner to your own hair lotion and hair dye's. I actually was amazed at all of the info!





The Egg/Oive Deep Conditioner recipe I used was:
1 egg yolk, 1/4 cupof olive oil and 3/4 cup of water. Mix well, then apply to hair, leave a plastic cap on for about 15 minutes and then rinse well(we don't want your hair smelling lilke egg).* you can also mix a little jasmine oil or rosemary oil with for fragrance sake

If you want to find more recipe's and go natural with me, check out these web sites:

Michelle Obama---gotta love her! Being that she and her husband Barak Obama, are the first African American president America has seen. Her style and fashion supercedes most in politics, making her a role model and fashion diva, many has come to fashion after.
I'm not sure if she measure's up to all of the hype mentioned in fashion though. I do truely love her style, classic, colorful, taylored, etc, but does she truely have what it takes to become one of the most fashionable diva's in our modern history.



YOU BETCHA! Many of you might highly differ with me but you have to check her fashion record sweety Mostly, not everything, she wears hits the fashion currency mark exactly. (I would be lieing if I stating that I liked or have loved everything that she's wore) Nevertheless, we can't always get it right all of the time. Michelle Obama has truely inspired me personally as the rest of the world with her class and swagger.

I am a AA woman in American and I believe that she represents my culture well. Her husband Barak Obama has truely found someone worthy enough, fashion and style wise, to be called 'First Lady' of the United States of America. I do believe that we will be talking about her keen since of style, dress, clothing and fashion for many years to come. The pics below shows her beautiful ensemble worn to visit the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth herself at Windsor Palace during the G-20 Summit. Michelle visited children, schools, bought alms and gifts, everything that dignitary in her spot light would do. Of couse she had mockers, in regards to her 'touching the queen'. You have to understand that we 'Americans' are pure 'down home folks' especially African Americans. We are outgoing and no one is a stranger that crosses our paths.



I would love to meet Michelle Obama, talk to her, possibly sip green tea and talk and share idea's on how to raise our children and be the best wives that we can be. Not to mention she is, in my opinion, a great bargain shopper(J.Crew, etc.) Now this woman could be buying the most exquisite of worldwide fashions, and the most expensive, but she and her husband chooses to support our designers and american made clothing. KUDDO's!!



London and Queen Elizabeth never knew what hit them when Air Force one landed on their patch of the world. Hopefully, Michele did not mess up too bad and Queen Elizabeth welcome's her back soon!

I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

The new RED Stick look

June 24th 2008 20:19
Do all of you remember the retro-60,70,80’s look? Madonna, Goldie Hawn and a few other’s use to sport this trendy look. Well, it quickly went out of style, with the turn of the decade: 90’s is here!!! I grew up in the 80’s and at the time, loved the style. But who doesn’t love and try to ride the trend tide in their decade? We all do.

The blue eye shadow, the poofy hair, the curly perms, the leather w/zipper jackets, the whole nine yards. You’ve probably seen that some aspect of this past trendy style is back and a big hit in Hollywood. Lipstick, especially. I personally, really use to hate RED lip color. I felt it made people look like vampires or zombies. But Hollywood has been incorporating the color red, very nicely, I must say, in movies and on celebrities. I like the new, up to date, red lip color, especially with the opaque face

PUFF be Gone!

June 19th 2008 03:53
Puff Be Gone

I am a full-time mom, student and wife and my life is SO hectic, 24 hours a day. Sometime’s, I barely get the minimum amount of sleep. The evolution of my world, pretty much, keeps me routinely busy. Sometime’s when I’ve pulled a late nighter, you know, surfing the web, blogging, research, myspace, that whole deal, I wake up the next morning and my eyes are so big and puffy, it’s looks as if I’d been crying my heart out all night before
