I began writing this blog in 2007 with hopes of informing the curly haired community as to what works and what doesn't when managing curly hair. I believe I also started this blog in college as something to do other than social networking with peers. Needless to say, social networking took over and it wasn't until just last night (I'm serious) I stumbled upon this blog. I was previewing other blogs and realized that I liked reading what people had to say. Despite the vain-tone of that statement, I did really enjoy reading these biographies. But what to write about that was different from the common crowd was where I was struggling. It was then that I had this idea.
When having to come up with passwords and user names for various websites, in the past, I have always used a similar variation of two things for everything. How original, I know. Well, one day I was forced to change pathways. Being a creature of habit, this was challenging. I looked around me and noticed common objects around my desk. It was then that I decided to use things I saw as passwords and user names. In a pinch, I can get wildly, creative, ninja150.
So how does this relate to the blog? Well, you see, I was debating what to use as my focus and while perusing the scene, I realized that whenever I want to purchase something, I am always interested in what other people think about the product. Whenever I'm on Sephora, especially when ordering face stuff, I always read the reviews. I look for the amount of stars and why or why not that person liked it or didn't. I'm not much of a salesperson, but I know what I like and I know what works. If I can find something that is practical, cost-effective and can multi-task - I'm sold! These are the kind of things I can tell people about. Sometimes, I see persuading as lying in a sense. If the Pinot Noir tastes like a tannery, it's going to be difficult to entice a Pinot Grigio loving soul out of their comfort zone. I tried to persuade, but I felt like I was lying. Needless to say, I never pushed that PN again.
I know what I like and I know what works. Not everything I blog about (wow, I can't believe I used that verb, blog) will be completely cost-effective; however, it will have a sufficient reason as to why it is, indeed, fabulous.
Happy Looking,
i
