New Things and Hair Rituals

Yoo hoo! my baby is officially a graduate of Vigor High School; I am so proud but you know, I am also sad; I remember when my girls were little and sweet. Oh they had their devilish moments but I can proudly say they were good; of course, life changes things and so quickly in a young black girl's world. If she isn't loved, someone else is and not necessarily for the good. If she doesn't have the parents there for whatever reason, another hurdle; But thank God for my baby, Koko who graduated May 19th. Sadly, the day was also a sad one. My boyfriend who went into the hospital due to what he felt his heart giving him the blues, come to find out, it wasn't his heart but a case of lung cancer. so he had to stop work, and he starts chemo tomorrow. I guess I should feel a bit better because last year he had surgery and he cut communications with me entirely. Upon hearing his news,though, I was hurt; hurt for him, hurt for his elderly mom who has buried a baby, two husbands, mother, brothers and other family and now to hear about her only child. sad indeed. For two days I hurt for him, but while in church one Sabbath, I got the peace that passeth all understanding. No, I don't know how this will turn up, but I got peace on it.
For all you readers out there, Bernice McFadden's "Glorious" is the thing. Originally slated to come out last month, somehow, Amazon got a hold of some copies and Bernice alerted us to it and bought copies; Trust when I feel this is a masterpiece coming out the gate. a bittersweet story about a young girl who have seen a lot of bitter with some sweet put in and had a promising career put in that stopped as soon as it started. word on the street is that Oprah picked it and if so, thank God because she deserve it; Another interesting devotional I just got today is Carol M.Mackey's "Sistergirl Devotions:Keeping Jesus in the mix on the Job" very good to help to keep your head on straight at work and home as well.
Kimberly Wright's "Sweet Waxations" candles are some great economically sound candles at $7.99 and $10.99; she also offers free shipping and has great service. My favorite scents are Uncorked(smelling like wine); Lolita Lempicka(one of my favorite scents)and Relaxation Station with it's eucalyptus and mint smell to evoke a chilled mode gains my vote. Do check her out and FB her page so you can get discounts.
Ladies, if you want that long pretty hair, hon there is most definitely hope for us all. It has been discovered that using Hindu/Indian based products containing Amla(gooseberry extract)a great addition to one's hair esp. if hair damage(like myself)is a problem, you need to get a ritual going. starting with a hair wrap that stays on my head(www.ghairwrap.com)they also sell satin pillowcases. A great hair care grease(Sweet Waxations has a lovely To the Edge and Back all Natural Hair Butter that untangles even the wild ones and keeps it soft. check her out.Yanique Smith Stokes whose Natural Hair Care Products enticed me to try her amla based products that is shipped from India. Check out her Natural Hair Care Products page and her new website also. and although I plan to soon, I want to take the hair vitamins preferably by Hairfinity and see will it help it grow.
