WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED AT AGE 48

Hard to believe it's true that one of America's greatest vocal talents dies today. Wikipedia has updated her D.O.D. It's been a mind boggling Black History Month. Losing Don Cornelius to suicide and now Whitney. Her addiction and struggle with drug dependancy was no secret, but we all were hoping for the best, and most importantly recovery, and if we're lucky a musical comeback. Sadly the life of drug addiction is all too common, and our celebrities aren't exempt. If there are loved ones who you know struggle with drug addiction, do all that you can to help and not enable . Prayers and condolences go to the Houston family.

CAROL'S DAUGHTER TRANSITION ME BEAUTIFUL CONTEST

IN REVIEW: BEAUTIFUL TEXTURES

UPS knocks on my door! The package indicated that it was from CurlMart. "YAY ME"  my inner product junkie squeals. First impression after opening, smelling, scanning the ingredients lists, "this stuff seems pretty good". While the packaging is sure not to be overlooked because of it's loud color scheme, the ingredients and product claims makes this haircare line a contender for naturally curly hair enthusiasts' cabinets.
