Being compared to the likes of Sade and other neosoul and jazz greats, I wonder why the songstress is not a household name yet.  Check out the "Our 2 cents" review courtesy of Sista Savvy and enjoy the singles and full CD's the artist provided.

Take Down Products

We just received a load of samples from this company.  Removal cream samples for braids, hair extensions and locks.  As someone who has been wearing twist for a few years, I didn't realize there was a product like this.  This beauty company states the cream softens hair and also removes bonding glue and fusion from weaves.  This is a product definitely worth trying!

200+ samples

 

   

justrightcandle_valentine_sample.jpg

 

 Just Right Candle Co.

The owner has contributed a couple of times to our box and we love the scents and so will you. If you don't know what tarts are, they are wickless candles that you don't have to light to smell and melt under a heated surface. A great scenting alternative.

Quick gift Tip: Limited on funds?  This is the perfect solution to craft your own gift basket with these wonderful items. Find/buy a small/medium-size decorative basket and place them in strategically so they can be seen all around the basket.  Use cellophane or tulle and finish off with a beautiful ribbon or bow.  Your gift recipient will love that you took the time make the basket and mentioning that the that the contents are filled with products made, invented or sung by enterprising talented women of color and not cheap dollar store items. It is sure to evoke much appreciation.

avatar I love love love my sampler box!! You should do this every month!! I think all of them are my favorites. I love the Body Fine body oil. It smelled so good and I got so many compliments. I like that it wasn't greasy like regular baby oil is. I love the hand made cards. I'm always writing letters and this was treat to add to my collection. I love the soaps from Darcy's and the Soap Seduction. I love the candles from Nikki and Just candles. I love love love the nail polish from elf. thanks
