time to sit back and unwind"
Thank Goodness it's FABTUALS TIME!. I am so blessed to have those lyrics open my first ever FABTUALS SUMMER EDITION! . Summer 2007 is all about glowing skin, healthy hair, sexy swimwear and much more. I have created a new section called "She's living FABULOUSLY" as a spotlight to women who choose to live everyday with positivity and confidence.
Summertime reminds me of playing in the sprinklers at Grandma Pee Wee's house with all of my cousins and walking to Aunt Lily's general store in 100 degree weather to buy penny candy. The song "SUMMERTIME" is a song to remind us all of the innocence of summers past! ENJOY.....

Summer Hair Ritual:
Moisture! Moisture! Moisture! Keep your hair well moisturized and lubricated for the summer. Look for products that contain shea butter and glycerin which have great lubricating properties and protect your hair from the sun.
Have you been wearing your hair out all winter? It's hot girl! So explore your styling options with cute cornrow styles, braids and twists that will allow you to keep hair off of your neck and out of your face.
Finally, don't forget the importance of good nutrition. The health, strength and appearance of your hair is determined by your diet. Drink plenty of water and load up on those fresh summertime fruits and vegetables.
She also has a GREAT recommendation for CURLS the hottest and latest product out for multi-ethnic women with curly hair....
The Curls product line provides textured hair with great lubrication and moisture; contributing to what is necessary to maintain healthy hair. Curls is great for all curl patterns. It provides an excellent, smooth finish without flaking and residue.
Your hair deserves a treat, so give it something sweet....from Curls!
