No Radio, Oh the Memories…My First Car Story
March 7th, 2012 Adrienne Does the thought of your first car bring back great memories?
For me, the thought of my little green sedan brings flashbacks of excitement, independence and laughter.
I recently visited FirstCarStory.com and created a video (check it out below) detailing the story of my first car. Before heading to the site I hadn’t thought much about “The Rice Eater” as my parental unit called it. After all, it’s many years and several cars later.
Hair Attitudes: Relaxed or Natural – Are Our Experiences the Same?
March 1st, 2012 Adrienne In Fall 2011 Sofn’free GroHealthy & Sister 2 Sister Magazine conducted the survey Hair Attitudes: Finding Strands of Truth Behind Style and Images.
This hair focused questionnaire was taken by 700+ women who identified themselves as “black, Latina, or bi-racial.”
Questions ranged from “how much money do you spend on your hair per month,” “how many hair products do you use daily”, and what is the biggest determining factor in a woman’s overall look.”
The survey spells out some interesting findings; but what I found most compelling was the similarities between responses from women with relaxed and natural hair.
