The Michelle Obama Fan Club

I was on my Facebook site and saw this very interesting fan club for Michelle Obama! I quickly joined because I am quite a fan of Michelle Obama!

I think that she is very inspirational and I hope that she shows all little girls (and us big girls too) that nothing is impossible!

The Weather Is Getting More Warmer And Humid....

and my hair is not liking it one bit!

I don't like the way my hair "sweats" out when it is humid so I usually use a perm relaxer to relax my hair and that lasts me for about 3 months!

I let my last perm wear out and can tell that it is gone because my hair is so frizzy! So its time for another perm relax!

I hate to say it though but first I'm gonna need some money to buy the relaxer because one of the good ones costs an average around $7! Wouldn't it be great if I could get some kind of government grant or financial assistance to get my hair "did"? I mean it's not like I'm going to a beauty salon to get my hair done. For the last several years I have been perming my own hair and I think I like it better that way!

Hopefully I'll be able to rustle up some money so that I can buy what I want! I don't know about how the current economy is affecting you but for me I have chosen to believe that where there is a will there is a way! Just because I don't have the money today doesn't mean that I won't have it tomorrow!

It could also be a "test" of some kind. In times of turmoil what does my heart say! To be quite honest my heart says to have faith! I have chosen my career as a writer and online entrepreneur and if this is a test to see if I waver or doubt my chosen career then I'm going to face it head on! What's the saying that I always hear?

Never Give Up!

I Am A Big Fan Of Kimora Lee Simmons!

I have to admit that I am quite a big fan of Kimora Lee Simmons! Her life seems to be so glamorous and she seems to have a lot of money and is wealthy and all of that! In fact, at first I have to admit that I was a little bit jealous of her!

But I have been watching her show "Life In The Fab Lane" for some time now and I realize that there is a lot more to her life than just gorgeous clothes, having a lot of money and being friends with celebrities!

The thing that stands out most is that she is the head of a fashion company! And it was interesting to hear that the clothing line first only started with just a T-shirt line! Her company has come a long way from there!

I do seem to remember her saying that she shows her lifefstyle to people so that they can see that it is always possible to make one's dreams come true.

I think that she is truly an inspiration!

Michelle Obama's Dress For The Inauguration Ball(s)

So it seems that everyone is talking about the dress that Michelle Obama wore to the Inauguration Balls. Her dress was designed by Jason Wu who is not well known but after today I'm sure that he will be!

So far I have liked her choice in clothing. Her style seems to be quite conservative and modestly made. Although I didn't like that red and black dress that she wore, overall I still like her choice in clothing!

Earlier in the day, Michelle Obama won applause from style-watchers for the sparkling yellow sheath dress with matching coat by a Cuban-born American designer.

Barack Obama! Our New President!

Barack Obama has been sworn in as our 44th President of The United States!

Inauguration day was today and I watched as Barack Obama was sworn in! There are reports that there were over 1 Million people there and it surely did look like it! This is definitely a historic day!

What did I think of Michelle Obama's clothing? I liked it! It just seemed to be appropriate to wear the color yellow which some signify as the color of "hope".

Here are some Barack Obama - related links:

Happy New Year Everybody!

I just wanted to wish everybody a Happy New Year!

Suffice it to say that I kind of slept through it myself this year.

I was so tired and so sleepy that I went to bed real early on New Year's Eve! I must have been real tired because I even slept through the sounds of the fireworks!

What are my New Year's Resolutions? I have just one and that is to be a millionaire!

Sean "Puffy" Combs Wants To Be The Next James Bond!

Sean "Puffy" Combs wants to be the next (black) James Bond!

You know, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand there is nothing wrong with aspiring to reach high and higher goals! I'm all for that!

But on the other hand, why can't we (as African Americans) just create our own Bond-like character?

Sean Combs (in my opinion) has come up with a great premise for introducing the Bond-like character and that was for the James Bond character to show up in New York and meet their (African American) counterpart in New York. I like that premise!

I think that it would just be better (and more inspirational) if we just created our own character(s)!

Well, I Permed My Hair Again Today!

Well I permed my hair again today! It takes me about 4 hours from start to finish and sometimes it can get kind of messy but the end results (when I do it right) are well worth it! It's a lot more manageable when my hair is permed and I have more options for more different kinds of syles. (It's also the only time when I use my hair dryer!)

I know that a lot of women go to the hairdresser to get their hair permed or relaxed but I prefer to do it myself at home. It's a lot cheaper and besides I can be doing other things at the same time!

I don't have a favorite product although I try to avoid "Dark 'n Lovely" because (ironically) I think that it's too strong! The perm I used today is called "Pink" and I bought that one because because it was relatively cheaper than some of the others!



Me and my hair have a "hate / love" kind of relationship!

But now that its permed it should last me a good 3 months!

Natural Products!

I must say that I am quite a fan of bath and shower products - especially when they contain natural ingredients!

I found this picture online from a woman who makes them and sells them online. It's too bad that its hard to contact her.

She doesn't have a website and thusly no Paypal button. I don't even know if this person belongs to Ebay because I could visit her Ebay page and maybe buy her products!

Because one of the things that I enjoy doing is having a relaxing, hot bath! I used to love using Calgon's Bath Oil Beads but they are becoming harder and harder (and more expensive too!) to find!

Having a nice, hot relaxing bath also helps to take away the stress and the stressful things in my life - even if only for a little while!

Much As I Hate To Say It - We're All (including Me) Getting Older!

Just saw this ad for vericose veins and spider veins and it made me think about stretch marks!

I really don't think that there is a be all/end all solution for stretch marks - although I do use cocoa butter on them and that has seemed to make them fade a little!

I guess a lot of us strive for a perfect body - you know one with no stretch marks or veins showing, no cellulite, etc.....................
