So, I was waiting patiently since October 27 for the products that I ordered from Essential Wholesale. After filling out 15 pages of paperwork for the company and Health Canada, I faxed everything in and sent an email asking for them to let me know if they received the information on November 2. I mean,…

Confessions of a reformed product junkie
I’m so through with the product junkie-ism. Why? Well, over the past couple of weeks there’s been a lot of discussion about some very popular, hair care manufacturers using wholesale bases and selling them as handmade, very expensive products. Check out the discussion on NaturallyCurly. There are products that I like and products that I’d…
Need deep conditioning help!
Last week, I took my twists out and I wanted to pamper my hair with a nice deep conditioning treatment before I styled. But guess what? I had run out. Gasp! I had been using QP Elasta’s DPR-11 or Ms. Key’s 10 en 1. Thankfully, great bloggers and commenters have shared a secret with me:…
Product review: Darcy’s Botanicals Avocado & Honey Twisting Cream
I was supposed to update you on the Hairlista Healthy Ends Challenge, but I had a bad hair day. I boldly said on Friday night that “I don’t have bad hair days anymore!” Ha! Well, I had one today. Last night, I decided to try something new: a braidout. Now, I’ve been wanting to try…
Product review: Kimble Ginger Cream conditioner
When I went to New York last year (it feels just like yesterday!), I was on a mission to find some Kimble Hair products. I wanted to get their Hair Butter, Bounce Back Curl Revitalizer and the Ginger Cream conditioner. When I walked into Target, I really did expect to come out with arms full…
Shopping, shopping and more shopping!
Hey all! I hope you all had a great Easter long weekend. I spent much of my time with family and friends. I hung out with one of my close girlfriend’s new bundle of joy. She’s so precious and sweet! She totally made my Saturday (that and seeing Why Did I Get Married Too?). Anyhow,…
HoneyFig: Fighting product junkie-ism day-by-day
A couple of weeks ago, I was meeting up with my sister and some friends for dinner on a temperate Friday night. The restaurant was north of downtown. Seeing that I had a transit day pass, I was able to roam up to North York Centre subway… up to the famed HoneyFig store (4967 Yonge…
Extra! Extra! Shipping fees SUCK!
Hi all! I’m working on a product review that, hopefully, will be posted tonight. Until then, I wanted to quickly tell you about what I found online. So, if you’ve been reading my blog, you would know that I hate, HATE paying shipping charges — especially when they are ridiculous. There is no reason why…
Empire State of Mind
While I’m not down with Jay-Z (folks, some of the rumours online have me scratching my head and saying, ‘for real, for real?’), I am getting into an Empire State of Mind! Next week, I’ll be in New York City – The Hubby and I are visiting family for American Thanksgiving and I’m going to…
Moisturize your situation – Part 3
Sorry folks! I was going to update yesterday — but I am starting to come down with something and I really didn’t feel like working. Nevertheless, I have been thinking about what moisturizers I would like to buy and try. I’m finally getting my braids put in this weekend, so these purchases, if they are…
