Most food we buy at the store is not polluted. At least in the sense that it will harm your health significantly. Wash your vegetables, cook your food well and your chances of good health are fine.

[...] I admire those people who bring their individually wrapped, specially prepared lunches to work. I aspire to be one of them. My friend Allie is one of those super prepared people who comes to work with her spinach salad ingredients in individual containers and stuff. She keeps telling me to just put it together the night before, and someday soon I will do that. I swear. [...]

Simone — I was naive, and part of that was also due to time — I write these posts at night after work and post them in the morning before work. So in that particular instance, I didn’t take the luxurious time I should have to find THE ideal photo. I’m standing the heat and still in the kitchen.

I’m working on creating a database of appropriate afrobella photos — bellas at work, exercising, good stock photos that can ideally illustrate whatever I’m writing about, but I’m not sure where to look. So many of these stock images aren’t of black women with natural hair. Having said that, you gave me a good idea. I’d love readers to send in THEIR photos, so I can shine a light on more of the kind of beauty we need to see more of. That way, I won’t be reliant on ppl I know personally who are allowing me to share their photos, and everyone wins. Anyone interested? Is this a good idea, or not?

[...] Comments are officially closed on the Olay giveaway, and I’ll sift through the comments and declare five winners by Monday. One reader wrote in with a comment that I’d like to address really quickly, and in further detail later on — regarding my practice of using photos of my friends to illustrate beauty issues and reviews. Simone, thanks for writing in. She ends her comment by saying, “What you did say in that post which was so revealing is that there were so few images of black professional women with natural hair to choose from â€“- now thatâ€™s something to hate on.” So true. I do hate that. Sometimes when I am looking for an image to go with a topic I’m writing about, it’s excruciatingly difficult to find an appropriate, usable photo of a bella with natural hair to go with it. So I am reaching out to you, my readers. If you’ve got an exceptionally fly photo of you and your fabulous natural hair, send it to me! When an appropriate post comes up, I’ll feature your style and write a little about you along with it if you allow me to. For example, regular reader Nikki sent me photos of her fabulous wedding day ‘do that I’d love to share with you all very soon, as part of a bigger review of some new cool hair accessories. More photos of you — the bellas who read this blog — will mean less reliance on Google Images for me, and less inadvertent photo controversy. E mail me at bella@afrobella.com, and here’s a little disclaimer — I might not write back right away, so please don’t get mad at me if I don’t. But I am going to try to be better with that. I always like to end the week with a jam, and I have a confession to make — I’ve always wanted to be a b-girl. I’ve always dreamed of having the kind of skillz that could shut down a dance off. Like the ladies in one of my favorite music videos, the remix of Run-DMC’s It’s Like That by Jason Nevins. It’s Like That has always been one of my favorite Run-DMC songs because of the lyrics, and the male/female battle in the video is just sick in the best possible way. So enjoy this Friday jam, and I’ll catch y’all on Monday. WPvideo 1.02 [...]

Check out Eyevive and Elizabeth Arden’s Prevage Eye Cream. Also i believe that Vitamin K is important in this area.

I am so glad you’ve addressed this! I’d blame it on genetics myself since I have it, my sister has it, and my mother has the same ol’ raccoon eyes. I will say that mine have gotten worst since law school and now working full time, but maybe that’s just aging too? My sister’s are the worst of the group and she also has thyroid disease, so you know, take it with a grain of salt…

But do enter me in the contest. I rarely wear foundation, so I could wear this stuff morning noon and night.

Hi!

With so many blogs out there I was tired of siffting through BUT a good friend of mine gave me the head nod (and link) to this site a few weeks back and I have been hooked ever since. I am brown skinned with dark circles and I haven’t found anything that corrects it and I’ve tried everything under the sun…My mom has dark circles and her mom and so on..so I guess I have just learned to love them! Not to say that I wouldn’t try just one more product! I will stay tuned to see if this stuff really works!
