A Black Disney Princess?

2007-04-11T10:04:00.001-07:00

Somehow, I surfed across this post from the wonderful Cocolounge blog. Disney is finally planning a feature cartoon starring a black female lead. The "Frog Princess" movie is slated to be set in New Orleans. I am happy to see that African-American girls will at last have a character they can relate to, but a little apprehensive about how it will be done.

We'll just have to see...

Eczema Shower Help

2007-03-21T19:59:00.000-07:00

I suffer from eczema. I am always on the look out for the latest solution in treating this irritating ailment. One day, on a whim, I purchased a book entitled The Truth About Beauty by Kat James, a holistic beauty and health expert. She gave a lot of helpful information about different natural remedies to help with all types of ailments that may prevent women from being and looking their best. One thing she mentioned that caught my interest right away, was that of using shower filters to reduce the amount of chlorine we take into our bodies. Did you know that 90% of our chlorine intake comes from showers?

After I purchased my 1st shower filter from Amazon, I noticed a difference in how my skin felt. (The first filter I purchased was from Amazon, but for some reason, they stopped carrying it. I got my second filter from Home Depot for $19.) The overall itchiness I felt, subsided. My eczema and asthma calmed down. I still have flare ups from time to time, but the filter has helped. I will always keep one on my shower. I purchased a bath ball as well. My next purchase will probably be an under the sink filter to help keep my face from drying out. Kat James' website gives more information about other holistic beauty tips.

The Coolest Wallet

2007-03-21T19:57:00.000-07:00

**UPDATE**
I ordered my JIMI wallet from Amazon. It's a bright hot pink (very lovely, I must say...) My only complaint is that it only has enough room for three bills. Now, I know I'm broke, but I usually carry more than three money papers. But I do like using the JIMI to carry my license and debit card. And I get a lot of compliments on the snazzy thang!However, to rectify the bill carrying situation, I am now looking into getting the All-Ett Wallet. Not much going on in the looks department, but check out the video to see all the cards and bills this tiny, flat thing holds! Cool beans, n'est pas? And only $20 to boot!
**END**

I have got to get me one of these! These are the coolest wallets -- perfect for traveling. A little pricey tho, for what you're getting... but still sweet! Check Amazon to find a better deal.
