The Results:

Front headline right side: 7 1/2 inches
Front headline Left side: 7 1/2 inches

Rx for Brown Skin Review

Up one night watching info-mercials I came across RX for Brown Skin.
I had heard about it before but was pretty skeptical however, I checked it out and it was pretty expensive! So, I never pursued it.

Then I heard more about it prior to the info-mercial, but the the info in the info-mecial baited me in and I ordered it!.

What's included:

1. Intensive Exfoliating Serum-It says it will revitalize dull skin, improve skins texture, gently exfoliate dead skin for brighter tone and boost skin cell turnover for enhanced renewal.
2. Advanced Botanical Brightner-helps brighten skin discoloration and skin tone, powerfully hydrates and promotes radiance and reduces hyperpigmentation and uneven texture
3. Age Block-Protects skin and enhance a youthful look, hydrates and nourishes skin with a lightweight formula

I have to say, I love this stuff! My skin looks very fresh, the texture is very smooth, much smoother than it was before and I LOVE the Serum! LOVE IT! Howver, I am concerned about the price after the trial offer. The trial is $25 (including the shipping and handling. However after the trial the price changes to $50 per month for a 2 month supply...$50 a month is alot! But the question is, is it worth it to you? Everyone's economic states are in different places right now and I am still deciding if I will contiue after the trial, but I have to say, the condition that my skin is in is certainly playing a huge part!

Have you tried RX for Brown Skin? Also, Would you pay $50 a month for the items described?

OMG...I BC!

It's true! I BC!!!
After 18 months of transitioning I couldn't take it aanymore!!
So, on Friday night, Scissors in hand, I decided that enough was enough and so...I chopped!
Here are some pics thoughout my journey that lead to my BC:
Mini Chop @ 14 Months (June)

Plus Curl Pattern Check:
-As you can see lots of permed ends and only a little natural curls

On National Afro Day (4th of July)+ new georgeous hair color @15 months


16 months and pressed out (August)-Sisters Wedding




17 Months Bantu Knots minus plucking it out equals curly Que's(September)


18 Months Big Chop
OMG...



My first 100% Natural hair do and the feeling of excitement!

Thanks for sharing my journey!

My cross to bear or theirs???

Since I BC I have received different reactions. To me, the most shocking reaction is that of my family! Now, I've read many blogs about people reacting to natural hair positively and negatively and it seems that in most cases the negative response comes from the family...

Well the same is for my family...well some of my family. My mom doesn't seem to know how to react. During my transition she voiced her opinion about my hairdos-positive and otherwise...but the day before I BC I asked her if she would cut my permed ends off. She of course said no because she didn't want to mess it up and I respected that and I did it myself. So the next day when I arrived with my freshly BC'ed tresses, she just smiled as I beamed about how great it looked and felt...

Other reactions are my co-workers who notice the versatility and how great it looks and how confident I look as well. So my question is: Is their negative reactions or opinion my cross to bear or theirs?

PS... My wash-N-go after work...GEORGEOUS!
