Ask Afrobella – Holla! Great Beauty Buys for Under Five Dollars!
One of my new MySpace friends wrote in with a very valid point. Hey Ms.Afrobella! I love your blog especially your tips and spotlights (my favorite so far is your Eartha Kitt one). I would actually try some of the products but some of them are so expensive! I need to get a job ASAP!…
A Tribute to Beautifully Aging Afrobellas – Tina Turner
Before I launch into my tribute to Tina Turner, full disclosure. What’s Love Got To Do With It is one of my all time favorite films. Angela Bassett is beyond fierce in that movie! I wore my hair in long, straightened spikes through most of my college years, leading one of my enemies to mutter…
Afrobella of the Week – Conya Doss
Before I launch into this week’s Afrobella, Conya Doss, I want to thank Beauty, of the amazing music site Beauty N The Beat. She’s become my go-to source for the hottest new urban tracks.

Afrobella of the Week – Wanda Sykes
Good grief, I am such a slacker. I haven’t named an Afrobella of the Week in two weeks! That’s what I get for giving myself another deadline, I suppose. I mentioned that the latest Afrobella of the Week would be an unusual choice. And I guess she’s not a beauty in the conventional sense, but…

The Afrobella Interview: Motown Girl, the Curly Hair Guru
Let me make this plain – I am no hair care or beauty expert. But I recently had the opportunity to interview someone who is. When I first started Afrobella, readers started e mailing and telling me on the comments page, “girl, you need to check out Motown Girl. She’s the bomb.” I want to…
