April 4, 1928- May 28, 2014Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can’t see. I say, It’s in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Now you understand Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. I say, It’s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need for my care. ’Cause I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me.

A couple weeks ago, Curly Nikki blogged about abbreviated henna sessions using Rajasthani Henna from Henna Sooq…….MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HENNA SUPPLIER and HENNA! While I was reading I started reminiscing about my curls and afro during the henna days (I hadn't used henna for a year). I began to feel some kinda way and realized I couldn't take it anymore, the limpy afro, the limpy curls and the limpy twist had to go….So I relapsed, immediately hit up HennaSooq.com to cop my Rajasthani henna. When the package arrived in the mail you would have thought Jesus himself sent me a letter from the gates of Heaven… I was dancing at the mailbox and I’m sure my neighbors thought I was a bit crazy when I broke into the Harlem Shake.
Yes!!! I went back to Henna……BUT I changed up the application process. I added Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque to the henna paste also known as a henna gloss. I still get the conditioning effects of Henna with minimal color absorption. My hair feels and look sooooo much better!!!! I am and always will be a HENNA HEAD!!! One of the greatest gifts is being a mother. Even though I have many titles I love being "Mom". My sons will always be my pride and joy, they make my heart smile... To all the beautiful mom's out there, I would like to wish you a Happy Mothers Day, not just on this day but EVERYDAY!!!
A few months ago I reviewed Nene's Secret Leave In Conditioner. The product was awesome for my hair but the smell was a little overwhelming for me. Nene Marks (creator of Nene's Secret) reached out and recommended I try the Best Beauty Butter. Benefit Claims: "Nourishes your scalp and hair for healthy hair growth. Provides vibrant, natural shine. Conditions, moisturizes, and naturally ends breakage.Repairs, soothes, and nourishes dry skin"... Ingredients: (Butyrospermum Parkii) Shea Butter, My Secret Recipe {(Adansonia Digitata) Baobob Extract, (Citrullus Lanatus) Kalahari Melon Seed Extract, (Theobroma Cacao) Cocoa Extract, (Macadamia Ternifolia) Macadamia Nut Extract}, (Helianthus Annuus) Sunflower Seed Oil, (Persea Gratissima) Avocado Oil, (Shorea Stenoptera) Ilipi Butter, Fragrance (Parfum) I applied the product to my washed hair and used a blow dryer (medium) to give my hair smoothness while also decreasing the frizz. I was pleased with the results, my hair was very shiny, smooth and soft. The smell was light with a hint of citrus aroma..... nice. My husband made a comment that my hair smelled delicious...lolol! My hair loves this product and I have actually replaced the use of Murray's pomade which gave me smooth and shiny hair but difficult to wash out. BBB does not give me that problem at all, very easy to wash out my hair. I've also used this product for mini twist to help seal-in moisture and provide long lasting shine. Results of BBB after using a little Eco-Styler Gel and styling with Flexi-Rods. The website mentions BBB is " for complete nourishment from head to toe"... So I decided to use it on my feet too...... Let me just say BBB was the BEST thing I ever did for my feet after this harsh winter we had!!! A few weeks of using the product I noticed my heels were starting to feel and look much better. I use it nightly and then apply again in the morning. Overall great product!
