LifeOrganics All Natural Products

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a Q&A session with Life Organics Natural Products. Lifeorganics is a all natural product line that includes hair and bathing products. It all started with Zaneta, who is the founder, 3 years ago and has grown into a hair care movement. Zaneta believes in educating women about hair care and showing what ingredients are safe for your hair. She invited two hairstylist to be the panelist and encouraged women to come and ask questions. I felt it was very informative, and resourceful. Topics that were covered were from understanding chemicals to trainsitiong from relaxer to natural. These classes are held very often and I encourage you guys to write down some questions and come to the class. Down below you see how my visit went and how much I learned about the line. I purchased the Styling Custard and its one of my favorites!

African Festival of the Arts in Chicago!!!

Every summer in August Chicago celebrates the African Arts. This year I got a chance to be behind the scenes. And let me tell you, it was a blast!!!



As I first walked in into the fest I immediately smelled the wonderful flavors of the African countries. For the first time I tried Puff Puff, which is an African dessert that reminds me of a donut hole , very deliscious. And of course I had Jerk Chicken and Plantain from another booth I loved every bite. I quickly got back to my mission on covering the rest of the fest. 











 While there I had to spot out the many different hairstyles and hair products. Women were rocking their beautiful locks in so many ways. I saw twists, afros, and braids. The women's hair were absolutely beautiful, there was an abundant amount of hair products of course that contained natural ingredients. One product that caught my eye, is called Adiva from a lady in Philadelphia, I purchased a leave-in conditioner that has a scent of Lemongrass which I found very relaxing. The conditioner has done very well for my natural hair clients, has a nice shine to it and does not weigh hair down. For more info about this product please visit her website www.adivanatural.com











The next thing that caught my eye was all the beautiful clothes, and jewelry. The fest is split up in different sections each section is made up of Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Countries. Its hard to visit all the booths which is why it's for 3 days. It took me 2 full days to cover most of everything. From Paintings to music to the dances, and lets not forget of course the entertainment this year we had gospel singer Vashwan Mitchell and R&B recording artist Lyfe Jennings, it was Africa being brought to the SouthSide of Chicago.



Hope to see you there next year!!!!!
