I was invited to the Pink Parlour Festival!!

OK, like most of you, at first I was like, "what the heck is the Pink Parlour festival"??

"The Pink Parlour Festival is a unique one-of-a-kind event that caters to women of all ages. This festival was conceived with the purpose of celebrating the creativity of women. Our objective is to unite women, while bringing together the collections that they create. These include artists such as crafter's, visual artists, and performing artists amongst others. Many additional attractions also include musical performances, a fashion show spotlighting young, "Up 'n' Coming" designers, children's activities, along with the excitement of horse racing, concession foods to fine dining and so much more!"

WOW, so I received a message via ETSY stating I was "hand selected" to participate, and after browsing though, I'm totally honored! Its at the end of the month, so we will see!! For those of you who live near by, check it out as well!

NATURAL HAIR show made CNN Living!

I'm totally late with this, but ENJOY!!!




"Bronner Bros. show highlights natural hair"
    
     -That might be seem like an unexpected trend, with music artists such as Beyonce and Nicki Minaj sporting bright wigs and extensions. Wigs, weaves and relaxers are indeed big business. In 2006, black hair care products including relaxers, shampoos and hair accessories for weaves totaled $1.8 billion, according to The Hunter-Miller Group Inc., a market research group specializing in African-American issues.
But going natural, say several stylists and experts, is making a comeback.
     "Some women are fascinated with that, and they want to bring out the beauty in their hair," Amador says. "They want to wear it and show it off."
     Defining what is considered "natural hair" can be tricky. Some say going natural is going relaxer-free. Some say it's not wearing any chemical hair products, even hair dyes. Others are more lenient with the definition of natural and include hairstyles that use some hair products as well as rollers or straightening irons.
Wigs, weaves and going natural have been a touchy subject for many black women. For decades, hair that was -- and some argue still is -- considered "acceptable" by society and in the workplace involved hair that was relaxed or permed, says Tasha Turner, beauty editor at Essence magazine.
"Natural hair is something we always have dealt with in mainstream society," she says.
The natural trend isn't new. For example, Turner says in the 1960s and '70s, the afro became a popular look for women. By the 1980s, braids were "in," as seen in rap videos and on hip-hop artists.

Hi, I was just wondering whet your current hair routine is (including hair products)? I stumbled upon your site. You seem to be my hair twin. I at times struggle in products for my hair so it would be nice to see what you do and try it.

I will be doing a "hair routine" and "favorite product" update video REALLY SOON, I promise!!! :)

Ask me anything

hi adryanne! I love ur earrings btw but I think you have a etsy shop twin. I sent u a message in ur channel messages inbox. Just lookin out 4 u.

WHAT?!?! I love you guys!! I did get your message, thank you so much! You know what they say....."imitation is the best form of flattery".....

Ask me anything

Do you experience single strand knots? If so, how do you deal with them?

I DO!! I seal my ends with oil FIRST, then apply my leave-in.....I was told that helps a bit, but they are still there!!

Ask me anything

What r u mixed with?

Do you want the long list or the short list? :)
Black and White

Ask me anything

Your New York "Diva" cut looks great. Can I ask how much did that cost?

Thank You!! Well, since I had a Sr stylist, it was $115 *gasp*
It is a lot less if you have a general stylist and you can choose a DEVA CUT only and skip the "styling" like Taren916 did for a little bit cheaper....

Ask me anything

Can you please do an updated curls routine video on YouTube? Thanks, I heart youre videos so much.

Will do.....
:)

Ask me anything

Where do you buy your beads for your earrings? Whats better, Michaels, Joann's, or ETSY for beads?

I rarely purchase beads via ETSY.....I do Michaels/Joanns for supplies only (wire, jump-rings, hooks ect). If I had to choose, I'd choose Michaels. Michaels is good, dont get me wrong, but I dont purchase beads at Michaels only because I see 90% of the beads used in alot of ETSY shops, and I dont want my earrings to look like anyone elses. Its funny you ask, I got a gift certificate to Michaels; purchased beads, and saw another ETSY-er with a similar pair of earrings and I said NEVER AGAIN!! :)
I get 80% of my beads from South Sun Beads in San Diego, CA :)

Ask me anything

Hi Mademoiselle Aulait What would you recommend me if I like Your biggest hoop earrings BR Bolette

"Contact" or "Convo" me via ETSY....we'll discuss "dahling"!!!

Ask me anything

I was wondering what was your current hair routine and products that you use?

Good question! I will be doing an updated "Hair Routine" soon...I promise!! :)

Ask me anything
