Throw Back Friday!!

Remember this song by Tevin Campbell.... man so long ago. It was so positive, and the mastermind behind it all, none other than Quincy Jones.

Hope this song puts everyone in a good mood..... It's the weekend baby!

Hopefully I will have this completed by the weekend. I will let you all know, as you may have to update your links to my site.

These are a few of my favorite things!-Oscar Edition

So since I don't consider myself a movie buff, what other reason to watch the Oscar's other than fashion and make up!!! Here are some of the looks I loved the most. After watching this I do actually hope see more films, and do it more frequently. My next day off I will make a trip to my local Blockbuster to rent some of the films. What did you all think of the night?

School Daze! Good and Bad hair...

I'm hoping most of my readers have watched Spike Lee's "School Daze" at some point in there life.. if not I encourage you to! In fact go watch all of his movies, all definite must haves in your DVD collection, in my opinion.
With all the "good hair bad hair" things going on I thought about this scene from the movie...He exposed the whole good hair, light skin dark skin foolishness long before Chris Rock's "Good Hair". I loved this scene! Although on my college campus, the wonderful South Carolina State University, I don't remember this type of stigma...I'm sure it existed.

After you watch this I encourage you to love what makes you stand out, there are so many different flavors of woman of color... and I embrace every aspect of it. My black is beautiful!!!





Nappy, curly hair don't care!!!

P.S. I am not some militant natural hair rocker... I had a beautiful, thick, healthy head of relaxed hair for YEARS. I wanted a change... end of story.

Just in case...

I'm militant about washing my face before bed. Incapacitated, inebriated, or sick make up comes off. I know there are a few people who don't  *clutches pearls* .

Enter Skyn Iceland Glacial cleansing cloths.....for those of you having trouble with the face routine at night, keep these in your night stand. You don't need water, they are oil free and don't leave your greasy. They remove everything, even my waterproof Loreal black liquid liner. Your face doesn't feel stripped.

For you gym bunnies, they are excellent to keep in your bag, if you need to remove make up prior to hitting that spinning class.

How to SHINGLE!!!

No... not roof work. lol. Here is a brief but very good tutorial on how to shingle, I mentioned in the two proceeding posts. Don't be discourage by her hair. My hair type is clearly kinkier and has a tighter curl pattern than the lady in the video. You can still make it work..Also it appears that product just sits on your hair afterwards...It does eventually absorb and dry.. Enjoy!!!!
