Essence...Still Getting Me in Trouble!

Hey Good People!

I recently received my copy of the recent edition of Essence magazine. I always smile when I look in my mailbox and see my Essence! It brightens my day. You would never know that one time this monthly ritual actually got me in trouble in college.

Real quick story....they year was 1994, it was spring semester of my sophmore year. I stopped at the mailroom on campus to pick up my mail before going to Spanish class. There it was...my copy of Essence along with a whole lot of credit card bills and a little care package from my sister. Even though I knew better I left the other mail and took the magazine along with me to class.

Big Mistake!

Well I thought I would hide in the crowded class room in the fifth row....way in the back. When the professor called on me...I was nose deep in the magazine. I was caught off guard with her question so I said, "Repita por favor?"

She was not having that...."You should pay attention..and not reading your magazine. Get out of my class!"

Yes, homegirl kicked me out of class- all because I was reading Essence! (There is more to the story but I shall not re-count my visit to the Dean's office for my sistagirl response to my professor. Let's just say, I got transferred and had to take my Spanish class in the evening).... My friend Michellene would love to tell you this story!

Any how, it is 2008 and I am still reading Essence and getting in trouble....in a good way - depending on how you look at it! I smelled the sample of Carol's Daughter new perfume, Pearls.

Heavenly! Beautiful!

I immediately went out and purchased it at Sephora (without coupons!). I love it. I had been so disciplined in watching how I spend my money in the this delicate economic market.

I broke...I had to have it....

Maybe you would love it too...so I share this link with you!

Enjoy!

P.S. One day I will tell you the rest of my story about my Spanish Class!

She shared it with me and I am delighted to share it with you. It is called It's a 10 Ten - Miracle Leave In Product. I took the product with me to the doobie shop on Friday and used it for the first time. I am happy to say that my hair has held up in this Florida weather!

Hair Care...Inexpensive...Works Wonders

Greetings good people,

I know, I know, I have been absent. Don't be mad - I was out and about learning new things to share with you!!!

While I was out, I stumbled across a hair care product that has been working wonders on my hair. (In addition to the marinating oil..). It is a deep conditioner that cost $1.29 per pack! I used it every Saturday as part of my my hair care process. It is the "Olive Oil Replenishing Pack".

It has been working wonders. I marinate my hair for twenty minutes before going to the doobie shop then after my shampoo the stylist puts the deep conditioner in and I sit under the dryer for 15 minutes. That is it. Wash, Deep Condition, Set and Go!!!

Just thought I would share.... more to come.
