World Natural Hair Show

I went to the hair show on Sunday to purchase some products for a friend. As I walked into the showroom the very first thing that caught my attention was this product called Nudred. With this system, you can twist your hair in less than five minutes (depending on hair length). The product is safe for babies because there is no pulling or pain involved. This definitely saves you time and money and you don’t have to wait for your hair to grow out to use this product.

There were lot of things to see and vendors to visit at the show. Some of the vendors that I visited included Miss Jessie’s, Adiva (they have an awesome body polish), Jane Carter and Pro10.
Let me get back to Adiva. Their all-natural body polish makes your skin feel so soft and it smells really good. My friend and I sampled it at the show and we both loved it. Once you use it, you don’t even have to follow it up with lotion. This is a really great product line.

Assets and Spanx

This morning Sarah Blakely, the creator of Spanx, was on Q100 talking about her story as well as promoting her new product Assets. Assets were introduced about two years ago in Target and now they will be sold in Belk stores. Assets are the more affordable version of Spanx and start at around $10.

Just in case you didn’t know, Spanx are sold at Filene’s Basement and Nordstrom Rack for a lot less. For more information about Spanx or Assets, click the links above.

Spring Break Activities for Kids

If your children are on spring break this week and you haven’t found things to do, then check out Atlanta Parent. They always have a great calendar with lots of family oriented events. There seem to be events going on all over the city so take a look.

Baby Shower – Prayer for Children

I had a great time at the baby shower that I attended this weekend. It was great seeing old friends and seeing God showering blessings on the parents-to-be.

With my gift, I included a prayer for children on card stock for the new parents. They could frame it or use it how they wish. This prayer flows very well and it is an awesome way to speak God’s Word over your child’s life. Thank God for Carol for allowing the Spirit of God to use her to write this prayer. Check out her website for prayers on relationships, church, healing, salvation, etc.

What I am doing today

Busy day today – I hope that I can fit everything in.

Choir Rehearsal, Baby Shower and most of all The World Natural Hair Show. I will fill you in on all of the details later.

Thrift Store Finds

Here are a few things that I found at Thrift Depot in Conyers on yesterday. I love entertaining so I bought cake plates, napkins and a tablecloth. My total was a whopping $19 + tax. After a good washing and cleaning, everything will be good to go.

I wasn’t able to find a website to Thrift Depot, but if you click the link above you will be able to get the address and phone number.

Tablecloth & napkins


Cake Plates ( 1 Glass, 2 Stainless Steel)

Hand Held or Hands Free???

If you do a lot of self portraits, then you may find the following products useful. I own the Quik Pod and I love it. My hubby and I never really have to ask anyone to take our pics. Also, it’s small and compact. It’s small enough to go in your purse, ladies.

QuikPod ® is the world’s first extendable hand held tripod! Quik Pod ® – take your own photo without the help of strangers!

This lightweight portable gorillapod™ by Joby™ has sturdy legs that will grip almost anything—trees, chairs, railings—to allow them to snap steady, hands-free pictures just about anywhere.

Plus Size Sites

If you are looking for nice evening wear in Plus Sizes, then you should check out the following sites:

  • Nordstroms – great online selection for young and seasoned women
  • Igigi – contemporary clothing for plus sizes 12-32; designer suits, career wear, casual, evening wear, cocktail dresses
  • Monif C. – clothing in plus sizes for young contemporary women

Crocs – Deal of the Week

I really love flats and although I don’t own a pair of Crocs, I wanted a pair when I saw them in a magazine recently. The shoes were paired with really cute outfits. So I searched for a pair of crocs and I found something that I liked. Not only were they cute, but they were on sale as well. Go to Crocs.com to find the online special
for the Alice style for $14.99. Deal ends on 4/4/09.

Other Engagement Rings & Wedding Sets

Let’s face it, everyone may not have the money to buy the ring that they really want for their beloved. But there are options – you don’t have to have diamonds. Anything goes now. There are stones such as aquamarine, amethyst and white topaz that give a nice light sparkle or you can go with garnet, citrine or pineapple quartz. There are tons of possibilities. I don’t think that anyone should go into debt over a ring. It’s so not worth it. Check out The Turtle Love Committee for a unique collection of engagement rings and wedding sets with semi precious stones.
