Beauty - Natural Hair Meet

Image
Hello Urban babies!!! I had a wonderful weekend, I hosted my very first natural hair meet up. It was an intimate event hosted at my friends home. We discussed everything from health to natural hair care tips. I had some wonderful sponsors whom provided all the samples I needed for the event. It was a great turn out and everyone that showed up enjoyed themselves.  The companies that provided samples for the event are were Miss Jessie's  www.missjessies.com , Carol's Daughter www.carolsdaughter.com , Curls www.curls.biz , and Beautiful Textures www.beautifultextures.com.  I am so thankful to each and everyone one of the companies for helping make my event a success. Living in Austin, TX the natural hair scene is not like tat of Dallas, Houston, or other cities. This is hopefully the start of many more meetups to come. Until next time, Stay Fabulous.

I'm back!!!!!! Hey Urban babies, have you missed me....well I have missed you. I have been so busy with trying to get myself in order, I haven't had time for you all, shame on me. I have been hitting the gym and working out but today I said I was going to update my blog no matter what. This one is going to be short and sweet, but I think you will enjoy it all the same. I want to talk about one of my favorite places to shop and that's at Kendra Scott. Kendra Scott is a famous jewelry maker from right here in Austin, TX. One day me and my husband stumbled upon her shop while on South 1st on a Saturday doing some vendor street shopping. What caught my eye was her window displays....absolutely beautiful. The shop was closed at the time, but I told my husband we had to come back the next weekend. I'm so glad I did. Shopping in her her boutique is like shopping in a candy store, except you can make custom made jewelry. Her store has so many colorful and natural stones to choo...
