An Apple Glossary {Luxist}
Nov 27th 2009 9:44AM I love the braeburn apple...my absolute favorite! The granny smith is good not only in pies, but for juicing, too. I try to eat apples in all my salads (with crumbled blue cheese and my homemade vinaigrette). Also, when I am good about eating apples daily, I lose weight (true!), so they really are wonderful.
'Stretching' Hair 101: Black Hair Care Advice {Blackvoices Main}
Feb 20th 2008 3:52PM I agree with Tracy, Dee and Brupmu...I have adored my own natural hair for 23 years (since I was in college), and would never, ever think of putting another chemical in my hair. This is a vestige of self-hatred and opression from the past that led us to erroneously believe that the only way that we could be beautiful was to imitate hair texture and styles that many of us (although not all) simply don't have. My hair is actually naturally straighter than most (although it is African hair), but regardless of what it looks like, trying to alter it such that we cause injury to our health and our self-esteem is just ridiculous. The economics of it (spending the amounts of money on these relaxers, straighteners, and the products to maintain them) are really awful, too. We go broke behind this! While all (and I do mean all) women, regardless of race, have this issue regarding wanting what they don't have, I have never, ever had any problem attracting the opposite sex or getting gainful employment because I have natural hair. People like what's UNDER my hair (my brain), not what I do to it to become something I am not. While white women do alter their hair in the name of beauty (they all want to be blonde, seemingly), you certainly don't find them doing it in such numbers as to pay for the gross national product of whole COUNTRIES as we people of African descent have done. Liberate yourselves, ladies, and just say no to that silliness! Look at older sisters...these chemicals are making you bald as you age! That is a strong idicator that these products are bad for us on so many levels.
Not Every Woman Should Be A "Skinny Bitch" {News Bloggers}
Aug 14th 2007 10:12PM A few years ago, I lost nearly 50 pounds of ugly (having a baby) fat. As much as I love kids, my own nearly killed me from the weight gain. I am 5'9, was then a size 18-20, but am now down to a voluptuous 12. Anyway, my then 7 year old, upon noticing one day that I was significantly smaller, became weepy, and blurted out, "I want my soft, comfy Mommy again!" He missed my 44D cup and my soft, round hips. Kids love to lay on and snuggle up to Moms in general...but there is nothing like a round Mom to comfort you when you have a skinned knee :))
