Check out Rahpael Saadiq’s visual for his first single “Radio” off his fifth album Stone Rollin’. I feel like he’s tried to do the old school 1960’s thing before but I love his artistry anyway. This video is hot. What do you guy’s think?

Twist Outs With Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding (Revisited)
So, HERE IT IS! I decided that now that my hair is longer than the last time I tried to do twist-outs with Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding, I’d try it again to see what new results I encounter. This is what my hair looked like using my old Instructions in 2009.
Twist Outs, No Blow Dry
For the second time I bought the sample size jar and followed the instructions on Miss Jessie’s Twist Out 101 Demo. I washed and conditioned my hair and when soaking wet and I added a light moisturizing hair milk by Bee Mine products, sectioned my hair into 4 parts, and proceeded with my application of the curly pudding. I used the whole jar with nothing left over.I sat under the dryer for an hour, got lazy and went to bed LOL. I woke up the next day and these were my results when I untwisted:
Step 1: I untwisted each individual twist with my fingers. Usually this would be the last step for me because I sometimes like to wear my hair close to my face but I decided to follow the full instructions and proceed to blow drying my edges for fullness.
Step 2: I blow dried my hair on medium heat, finger fluffed, and added a dab of Bee Mine Hair milk. This was my result:
Overall, I’m satisfied with my results and not to mention my hair smelled so good up until three days later. I wore my hair for a few days in an Afro and noticed that I had more bouncy elongation BUT it the cold and dry air was not agreeing with me and now it’s flat again. I will definitely revisit this again in the summer since my hair texture LOVES humidity. I want to know your results, so try it and DO SHARE 🙂

Actress Kim Coles Goes Natural
Kim Coles or better known as Sinclair from “Living Single” reveals her natural tresses. I mean she’s always been natural during her years on “Living Single”, but all the world has seen were her in braids. I think she looks gorgeous not mention she’s rocking the Afro Pick earrings by Rachel Stewart Jewelry. Check out her full interview on afrobella.com
Jennifer Hudson & Weight Watchers Campaign “Points Plus”
What better way to start off the new year with a new diet and exercise plan that works! I know a lot of people hate on Jennifer Hudson’s weight loss phenomenon saying “Oh she has a big head now!” but honestly, I’m so proud of her. So proud that it has inspired me to try the Weight Watchers Points Plus programs. Yes, your goal has sold me. Jennifer Hudson has taken on the new campaign as spokeswoman and she is all over billboards, on your TV screen, and now in your daily diets. I think this is a good move for her and for women who needed that extra push from their favorite singer that they can lose the weight. I’m not gonna sit here and say that weight watchers did this to her body but whatever her lifestyle change was, it worked!
Marsha Ambrosius x Far Away (Video)
Go Marsha! I’m loving her single artist comeback and this video really shows how beautiful she is inside and out. I’ve watched a few ustream videos she has done and she is such has so much charisma and passion for her music so I’m happy she decided to make a visual with her latest single “Far Away”. In this video it tells a story of two brothas who share a love for eachother and it’s not accepted in their community. The ending is definitely a harsh reality. If you know someone or are a victim of bullying in anyway, please do your part and share this video with others. Kudos to Marsha.
