Garrett E. Morgan and "Chemical Crack"

I read a post by Maryee regarding a little known fact about black inventor Garrett Morgan. Inventor of what? Pop- quiz people... Of course, the traffic light and gas mask. I was drawn to Maryee post because as an elementary student I had done a Black History report on Garrett Morgan. I still remember the pride I had at knowing that a black man had created a traffic light way back in the day that has since been redesigned but is still in use today. Now, at this new found info about Morgan I can't hate the inventiveness but I have come to now reject the product Morgan stumbled upon and went on to market...

Honestly, THIS is yet another a piece of our history I didn't know... how 'bout YOU?!

Fixx Argan Oil Shampoo on Sisterlocks

It's after Labor Day 2014, y'all...the official END of SUMMER. I have had a TREMENDOUS SUMMER 2014 that included a "magical" family trip to Disney World that culminated with our family reunion also in Orlando. Next, I visited Seattle, WA on a business trip that was a rich learning experience where I met some truly creative and passionate educators. Then, I traveled to North Carolina for my first Market America International Convention (#MAIC2014) where my belief in my unFranchise business was built and my knowledge expanded to improve my entrepreneurial endeavors. I recently broke the seal on one of my Market America haircare products: Fixx Argan Oil Shampoo. The shampoo is clear (a plus for lock'd hair); it effectively cleaned my scalp, yet left my hair soft and not stripped of its moisture. I will be certain to reorder this product!! An 8 oz bottle of Fixx Argan Oil Shampoo retails at my Shop.com website for $19.95. Follow this hyperlink to get you...

I'm A "Green" Diva

This post is probably TMI about me... but health and wellness are things I am passionate about from head to toe, inside and out-- to include menstrual health. Any of you heard of The DivaCup? I use to sell it at my online store. I'm now out of stock. The other day I got to thinking how long it has been since I first started using a menstrual cup in lieu of tampons. It's been about 4 years now at least. I'm sure it was either shortly before or after I got Sisterlocks Either way... it too is a decision I don't regret making much like my decision to get Sisterlocks. I had been a tampon user since a teen and had become increasingly concerned about toxic shock syndrome. Not because I had ever experienced any symptoms but I just got to wonderin' were there any OTHER options to tampons and pads. Oh the wonder of the Internet... I got to Googlin' up some stuff and lo and behold... alternatives existed and had existed for years. You may be amazed as I was that there ...

Just kidding... Lottabody DOES Work on MY Sisterlocks!

Hmmm, well, I guess I figured out my Lottabody to Water ratio... I sure needed to because as you can you see, I have a half bottle of the stuff yet to go... and this large bottle WILL LIKELY last me for the next 9 years... lol!
