Flower Clip Review



From time to time I enjoy wearing hair accessories.  Flowers are my favorite to wear.  You can turn a simple hairstyle into an elegant one.  

The flower is nice and soft not made of plastic.  It's made of poly silk fabrics

The head band was nice and comfortable not tight at all


If you like to purchase some flowers to make your hairstyles elegant check out flowerclip.com here

Weightlifting is never too late!



This is an old video Ernestine Shepard is now 74 years old

If you're looking for some inspiration to get in shape or to build up some extra muscle, look to 74 year old fitness trainer and bodybuilder, Ernestine Shepard. In the past eighteen years she has won eight marathons and still runs eighty miles a week. She currently holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest female body builder. Nowadays, Ernestine teaches fitness classes five days a week.

Her fitness craze got started when she and her sister went into a department store when she was 56 years old. They were trying on swimsuits and were a little disappointed with the way they looked in them. They then decided that they had to do something. Ernestine and her sister then started getting into aerobics. And though Ernestine's sister passed away some time ago, due to a brain aneurysm, Ernestine has continued on her journey for the last eighteen years, and look where that has gotten her!

Ernestine's message not only to seniors, but to everyone, is that age is really but a number and that it is never too late to start working for a better body and a better quality of life.

My 3 year old Sisterlocks!

Good Morning!  My sisterlocks are 3 years old today!  Yay!  I can't believe it *-*  I remember when I first started and the pain and agony I went through to keep them from unraveling.  Most of my ends are still not closed (sigh) and I have lots of bunching on the ends.  Should I take a chance on cutting them?  Or, should I try to undo the ends and braid them up.  Decisions, Decisions...But non the less I am really enjoying them.

Columunist Jawn Murray: Apologizes for ‘Nappy Headed’ Joke

I was listening to the Tom Joyner Morning show and he mentioned that many woman want Jawn Murray fired from his job for calling black woman Nappy Headed.  I don't care for the word "Nappy" but, many people use it.  I don't think he meant to hurt anyone and don't think he should be fired from his job.  After all he's natural himself. What do you think?  Do you hate the word nappy?


"All those militant-nappy headed #angryblack women
 who didn't think Tyler Perry was worthy of doing 'For Colored Girls' can kick rocks."


According to publicist Patti Webster, entertainment columnist Jawn Murray, most notably known for his daily column in AOL Black Voices and as entertainment correspondent for the Tom Joyner Morning Show, offered, today, a public apology for his joke that many people feel offended Black women.

On Wednesday, October 20, 2010, Murray posted a comment on his twitter page which said, “all those militant-nappy headed #angryblack women who didn’t think Tyler Perry was worthy of doing For Colored Girls can kick rocks.” Murray’s joke didn’t sit well with a quorum of women who feel his comments were derogatory and offensive to Black women overall.

In response to the many negative responses he has received (via twitter) for what he considers, “a joke which fell flat,” Murray has posted a public apology on YouTube to clarify his comment and address those who were offended by his words.

Says Murray, “I understand how things can be misconstrued and taken out of context in the social networking space. My humor has always been a bit irreverent, edgy and sarcastic, but I understand how this particular joke could have offended my sisters with natural hair. I sincerely love Black women and will never, EVER do or say anything to intentionally hurt them. I am truly and humbly sorry.”
