Got It: Barbie “Diggin It” Tee

Check it out! I got my Barbie Tee. 

If you’ve been following the blog you know I have had my eye on this shirt.  I finally found it over the holidays.  I got it a little big because it will definitely shrink when I wash it. 

I think this is suppose to be Barbie’s friend Christie, who was the very first black Barbie, introduced in 1968.  After Christine was introduced, other cultures and races were created, such as Teresa who is an Hispanic and Kira who is Asia.

Art Appreciation: Kadir Nelson’s Cocoa Cola Company Campaign

I’m sure everyone has seen some of Artist Kadir Nelson’s Artwork, whether you knew it or not.    Nelson’s art has been in  popular circulated magazines such as Ebony and Essence.  

My monthly Essence subscription for the pass 3 or 4 months has always had these beautiful Cocoa Cola Company ads in them.  All for the love of Black History.

Product Junkie: Carol’s Daughter’s Conditioning Spray

Here I am, back at it again.  Yes I love products.

This time its with Carol’s Daughter's Tui Leave-in Conditioning Spray.  My mother bought me some and as you can see I have already used a lot of it. 

 

 

I like to spray it on in the morning to freshen up my curls and loosen them up a bit. 

So far, so good!:)
