Sorry for lack of posts, due to Sisi’s habit of walking on my laptop. I have been MIA.
I hope to be up and running soon.
Ta Ta for now.

Reason 1.
Customer service like this: Weave Stylist: Hello Hairmax, can I help
Phone Customer: Are you open today?
Weave Stylist: Am I in my house? Didn’t you hear me say Hairmax can I help?

Greetings May 6, 2008
I love to give, well thought out presents. By that I mean taking my time to make sure that my present is appropriate for the circumstance and individual. Sometime though, it can be hard to find a greeting card thats suitable. Thats where Color Blind cards come in.
I haven’t as yet bought any but I saw the co- creater Jessica Huie on the Apprentice aftershow last week talking about the range. After looking at the cards available I am very impressed.
It’s rare to find a tasteful card with images of people of color in the UK.
It’s also inspiring to see a young woman of color making it in the business world, with an idea which was sorely needed.
Bringin Back The 80’s May 2, 2008
These kids are serious about bringing the 80’s back. Check them out in this New York Times article, http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/19/fashion/19retro.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
They make me want to put on some LA Gear and a Members Only jacket.
This pic is of them at Estelle’s US launch of her new album Shine.
Borrowed From Crunk & Disorderly
Bags for Babes May 2, 2008
When I had my first child, I decided not to buy a baby bag. They are great to cart around numerous items of baby clutter but I couldn’t find one to my taste. Even the “stylish” ones didn’t cut it. Well, when baby number two rolled round
I had no choice. With two sets of nappies, wipes, toys, bottles and everything thing else kids need to carry around. A new bag was a necessity. I needed something spacious for all the junk but without cartoon characters or in a strange pastel colourway.
So I started where I would normally go to when I want to buy a new handbag. Gucci.
The Gucci diaper bag comes with a changing mat and an adjustable strap so it can be carried across the handles of your stroller.
I liked it but it didn’t seem like great value for money at £455.00 and has a very definite diaper bag appearance. It’s not something you can roll up to the club with. So I moved onto Louis Vuitton
I actually loved this bag, it has a lot of useful features. Two pockets specifically for nappies, remove able foldout changing mat and two internal compartments to make finding things easier. Only problem was the price, £1060.00. I don’t mind spending money on quality items, but that seemed a tad ridiculous.
Eventually I decided to not go for a dedicated baby bag at all, instead buying a Speedy from Louis Vuitton.
Now it does not have any internal compartments or come with a changing mat. But it is large enough to carry the paraphernalia for the kids plus whatever else I need. Which can be a lot, with my makeup, various books and newspapers. In terms of price, when I bought it last year it was £335, this year however it is £365. Inflation, I guess. I have been really pleased with my purchase, even when I don’t have the kids with me. It’s the first bag I reach for.
