On Thursdsay, November 17th, I had the opportunity to attend an exclusive press introduction for a new haircare line called
Beautiful Textures. This new line was created for those with curly, wavy, kinky-coily, and
frizzy hair.
The event was held at a very chic room in the lovely W hotel in downtown Chicago.
I got the chance to mingle with many of Chicago's natural hair, style, and other bloggers including :
Bree of The Mane Source,
Nikki of Nikki And The City, Rachel of
Makeup by Rachel O., And
Leila of Black Girl With Long Hair. I also met vlogger
Meechy Monroe and
Sixtwentysevenblog who also vlogs for
Naturallycurly.com.
After mingling and having a few appetizers, attendees listened to Charlene Bastien (National Marketing Director for Strength of Nature
Global) speak about the brand and the products in the line. And then Kimberly Walker, (Beautiful Texture Ambassador &
Stylist) gave us more information about each individual product and showed how she achieved the hairstyles worn by the Beautiful Textures models.
I had a really nice time at this event, met new people and I got a swag bag filled with full size products and samples. I will test them out soon. And I promise to take more pictures when I go to these events.
There are 7 products in the line and they will be available
(January 2012) at local beauty supply stores, and retailers such at
Target and Wal-Mart. And all products will retail for under $7. Here is a list of the products in the line:
Shine & Silken Growth Oil
Tangle Taming Moisturizing Shampoo
Tangle Taming Leave-In Conditioner
Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner
Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Crème
Curl Control Defining Pudding
Curly To Straight Flat Iron Silkener
My Abalone and Brass Necklace (which has since sold) was featured on the FabOverFifty.Com 2011 Holiday gift guide. 
On Saturday, December 10, 2011, I will be vending at the Chicago Naturals Christmas Fest Sponsored by Taliah Waajid

Hi all! It's been a few weeks since my last post in which I talked about the Raw Junction fashion/art showcase that I was participating in. And, FYI, that event was pretty awesome. Since then I have been busier than ever and it seems I can't find the time to do everything I need and want to do. But I definitely wanted to hop on here today to say hi and I will post as often at I can. I also wanted to share a few of the photos and articles from the Raw event which I will post below. Lastly, I wanted to ask you all to please vote for me in the Accessories category for the RAWards. Voting started on Oct. 1 and it will last for 2 weeks. Please click HERE to vote for me and thanks in advance.
Hi everyone! I know I have been missing in action but life has been a little hectic lately (I'll spare you the details). I have not have much time or energy to blog or be active on all of my social networks. I have even abandoned a few of those networks including both of my tumblrs. I think the last post I made on my soapfiending tumblr was in March. And despite my absence from Tumblr, this photo is being reblogged like crazy. Maybe it's because the creator of those soaps was one of Etsy's featured sellers in May (I think). Who knows? Anyway, I have seen a few lovely soaps from one of my favorite shops on Etsy, so maybe I'll post a couple just for old times sake.
