HAIR CONFESSIONS

I WAS RECENTLY ON A HAIR FORUM THAT I FREQUENT AND THIS WAS THE TITLE OF THE THREAD. THERE WERE SOME SURPRISING CONFESSIONS.. SINCE IM NOT A PAID MEMBER THERE I'LL POST MY CONFESSIONS HERE...

1. IM OVERLY OBESSED WITH MY HAIR AND I TRY TO INVISION WHAT MY HAIR WILL LOOK LIKE AT MY DESIRED LENGTH.. AND WHEN I SEE OTHER RACES OF WOMEN I COMPARE THIER HAIR TO MINE, LIKE THE LENGTH AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE HEALTH OF IT...

2. IF MY HAIR WERE ANY KINKIER I WOULDNT BE TRANSITIONING

3. I GET MAD WHEN PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME DONT TAKE THE HAIR ADVICE AND TIDBITS I GIVE TO THEM.

Spectrum Natural Organic Coconut Oil

i cannot get enough of this stuff!!! loves it! it has a low solidifying temp, and because i dont want the oil hardening on my hair in these below freezing temps, i only use it at night now to seal in my moisture, where its nice and warm... oh yeah i prefer this over EVOO anyday!

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier

Ed Hardy Women: Introducing the vintage tattoo-inspired fragrance sensation, Ed Hardy Women by Christian Audigier. A color explosion of fruits opens the scent with tropical mango, wild strawberry, and ruby red grapefruit. Vintage floral loveliness with a rock 'n roll edge brings a dark sexiness with black freesia. This flowering contrast merges into a background of hot skin musk and warm soulful amber. It is a delicious and very addictive fragrance statement. The exciting composition rounds out with the alluring embrace of amber and rose accords.

LOVED IT!!!

DOLCE AND GABBANA THE ONE

The One is a warm, oriental floral, with modern sensuality - a fragrance with a strong personality, and a contrasting golden sweetness. Created for the ultimate diva, The One is at once tempting, modern, and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism. The top notes radiate a vibrant luminosity, with a sun-touched citrus, while warm fruity notes of luscious lychee and succulent peach add to the delight. The passionate heart evokes an exploding femininity, with an opulent floral soul, creating a distinct, audacious signature. An unexpected hint of plum glows as the base finally blooms with luscious allure into the lasting warmth of vanilla and sweetened ambery-musk notes.

Notes:Bergamot, Mandarin, Lychee, Peach, Madonna Lily, Muguet, Plum, Jasmine, Vetiver, Vanilla, Amber, Musk.

Style:Tempting. Modern. Glamorous.
