After May 15, I’ll be expecting to be on your Christmas, Kwanza and Hannukah cards because the mother of all book signings is happening in Los Angeles, and boy oh boy, we’ve got some goodies for only the first 25 people who arrive at Eso Wan book store–you know that one, where BARACK OBAMA and BILL CLINTON came down from Heaven to sign their books. And because I know people, I’ve got some folks really, REALLY excited about getting all of your First Date Ready (FDR). We want you to be FDR inside AND out, so get a relationships book like “Swirling” to get your mind right, and I’ll take care of the rest.
We’ve all heard the term, “black don’t crack.” For the most part, it’s true–oily skin, darker skin with a thicker layer tends not to wrinkle as readily as our paler sisters. But know this–just as sure as wrinkles can show your age, so can sagging of the connective tissue–that hang-dog, jowly look you often see when black women reach middle age. I bet you think that just comes with the territory. Nuh uh.
A day late, but not a dollar short, I just have to reveal a secret I’ve been sitting on for over a month. Temptu airbrush foundation and make-up is the bomb-diggity.

In fact, I’m wearing it in this video rightchea…
Clo Clo (the eight-year-old) was practically born with a rash. I suppose in the scheme of things–her being born 11 weeks early being a risk for a host of potential after affects, and none of them good–a perpetual eczema breakout is small potatoes since we got off so easy. She’s as healthy as a horse and smart as a tack…
Women, especially those that have recently crossed over to natural hair, become very aware of the fact that they need to moisturize their hair on a regular basis. Afro-textured hair (i.e. Type 4 and combination Type 3 & 4 hair) is quite dry by nature and it’s important to keep hair moisturized in order to prevent breakage that will result from lack of moisture.
But there is a catch. Moisture is indeed great for our hair. But it is possible to have too much of a good thing. And when I say this, I mean that is very possible to over-moisturize your hair and end up with hair that is just as weak as it would be if your hair were overly dry.
