I just watched your new years video on youtube (I know I am late:). I wanted to ask if you made the earrings you are wearing in that video and if so, would you ever consider making them available in your etsy store because I would surely buy them:)

First off, THANK YOU! I did have 2 pair listed around Christmas time (I named them "Dom Perignon" and "Champagne and Caviar"), however I will be re listing a pair called "Crystal Disco" and a new (black diamond) pair called "Black Tie" that will be added this week. You are always welcome to contact or "convo" me via ETSY, and you may make a formal request. Thanks again for your support!

Ask me anything

Hi there! Do you have a section of your hair that curls more tightly than the rest (i.e. in the back of the head)? If so, how do you manage so that the curl and texture seems consistent all over? Thanks.

I SURE DO!! The middle of my head is 4a, and the curls are coarse, where the majority of my curls are 3c and very fine. To be honest, I don't do anything special....I "stretch" the middle and back since that is the area that shrinks so much, but that's about it!!

Ask me anything

March SHOEDAZZLE selections

Anyone a member of SHOEDAZZLE?? I've been a member for about 2 years now (I think), and lately they have been a MAJOR disappointment, but his month kinda sparked my interest. I'm leaning toward the OLIVE "Adventure" for spring time......what y'all think???

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.
